This Marin San Quentin 2 29 combines dirt jump DNA with the speed and roll - over ability of 29” wheels. It's Marin's mid - range model that offers great value for money with top - notch components. Fitted with 29” wheels, a TranzX dropper post, X - Fusion suspension fork, Tektro brakes, Vee Tire rubber, and a host of awesome Marin parts, this bike is a joy to ride without breaking the bank. The San Quentin 2 has a series 3 aluminium frame with advanced tube forming, complex dropouts, post - mount disc tabs, full internal cable routing, and a 148mm boost thru - axle. It also includes ISCG 05 tabs for easy chain retention device installation for wild riders. Inspired by the Alcatraz, it features a large stand - over, sleek frame tubes, and an attractive paint job. The slack head tube angle and steep seat tube angle make it climb uphill with front - wheel precision and descend smoothly. The balanced rider position due to the steep seat tube is great for climbing and flat - handling, while the slack front end and short rear center make rough descents and cornering intuitive.
Using this Marin San Quentin 2 29 is a breeze. For uphill rides, take advantage of the steep seat tube angle to keep your weight balanced between the wheels for better climbing. When going downhill, the slack front end and short rear center will help you navigate rough terrains easily. Before each ride, check the Tektro brakes to make sure they are working properly. Also, look at the Vee Tire rubber for any signs of wear. For maintenance, clean the bike regularly, especially after riding in muddy or dirty conditions. Lubricate the chain and other moving parts to keep them running smoothly. If you're a rowdy rider using the ISCG 05 tabs for a chain retention device, check its installation regularly to ensure it stays secure.
