About Aaron's Gear
My Bike
2019 Santa Cruz, Megatower
After my Santa Cruz, Hightower LT was demolished. I was able to get a new Santa Cruz bike. I love how it feels but I do miss my old bike from time to time.
My Video Equipment
I really love the combination between the GoPro Hero 4 Black and the Gimbal EVO SS. Totally made for each other and the sound quality is great right out of the box. Just recently I also bought the GoPro Hero 9 Black and I have just started using.
My Gear
Right now I have been using the Osprey Raptor 14 for my longer and crazier adventures. For smaller rides I use the Osprey Talon 6 Hip Pack.
I used to wear FOX gloves and those were OK as far as comfort but expensive and didn't last long enough. I now use the Firm Grip work gloves. Great price and last way longer. They only downside is they get a bit warm on hot days.
I love my Ride Concepts. They look and feel like a regular shoe but have the cleat for my SPD Shimano Pedals. I ride clipless on all my mountain bike rides.
Everyone should have one of these portable saws in their pack. It's inexpensive and great for clearing small trees that fall onto the bike trails.

Check out this helmet. It can be full face or regular with a detachable chin guard. It's light and comfortable for my skinny head.

I have tried some of the other tire sealants out there but keep going back to Stan's. I feel that it is the easiest to work with and most reliable so far to date for mountain biking.

Favorite Tires
I made the switch to the Maxxis Minion DHF and DHR. They came with my new bike and I totally fell in love with them. I hope the link will help you find your size. I am currently running 29 x 2.4 front and rear.

So far these have been the most comfortable knee pads that I could find.

Suspension Spray
Use this on your fork, shock and dropper post. I use Finish Line Max all the time to wipe them down after a ride.
Chain Oil

Suspension Spray
I prefer to use a thin lubricant for my chain. ProLink is easy to wipe off and doesn't seem to collect as much dirt and grime as other chain oils I've tried.
