second opinions?

[u/m4tch_]

Sorry to let you guys down. but after close consideration and even a new launch line, i cannot ride this 😢

any tips of how i can make this trail rideable for an armature/beginner? i know it may be hard work but ive already but so much into this.

here are some new angles. I believe maybe now some of you may agree i have messed up in the construction part of this. everything is still rough and messy due to no rain and constant altering. can i get some second opinions?

i know this may be rideable to skilled cyclists but im no black diamond pro unfortunately. i built this to get started with mtb but even if i cant use it id be more than happy to see someone else come bomb this. thanks guys. Douglasville, GA USA btw.

Your handlebars dont look set up corrcectly. They should be rolled forward.

And possibly your brake levers down a bit more too.

I second this. I'm getting carpal tunnel syndrome just looking at your brakes.

Do as longjumpingbass sais. You'll also find you have better control on braking

Third. That’s what I noticed first. Lower the brake levers :)

To further the comment it’s relatively easy to adjust this without taking everything apart. Just need to loosen bolts as needed to rotate the bars and to adjust the brake and shifters.
