This bike combines dirt jump DNA with the speed and roll - over ability of 29" wheels. The San Quentin 3 29 stands out as the best in the SQ 29 series. Marin worked hard to build this well - spec’d bike at an affordable price. It comes with a Marzocchi Z2 fork, TRP 4 - piston brakes, a 12 - speed drivetrain, and a TranzX dropper post. You'll also find FSA cranks, Maxxis rubber, and cool Marin gear. The San Quentin 3 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. There are ISCG 05 tabs for easy chain - retention device installation. Taking inspiration from the Alcatraz, it offers DJ - style benefits like large stand - over clearance, sleek frame tubes, and an eye - catching paint job. Its slack head tube angle and steep seat tube angle give it excellent uphill climbing with precise front - wheel control and a smooth downhill ride. The balanced rider position due to the steep seat tube helps with climbing and flat - terrain handling, while the slack front end and short rear center make rough descents and cornering intuitive.
Using your Marin San Quentin 3 is a breeze. For uphill rides, take advantage of the steep seat tube angle which positions your weight well between the wheels, giving you better control and power. When going downhill, the slack front end and short rear center will help you navigate rough terrains and corners smoothly. Make sure to adjust the TranzX dropper post according to your riding needs for maximum comfort. As for maintenance, regularly check the TRP 4 - piston brakes for wear and tear. Keep the chain lubricated and clean, especially if you ride in muddy conditions. Inspect the Marzocchi Z2 fork for any leaks or damages. And don't forget to check the tire pressure of the Maxxis rubber regularly to ensure a good ride. When installing a chain - retention device using the ISCG 05 tabs, follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Enjoy your ride!
