Here’s Skookum!

As I mentioned a few days ago, Torker Bicycles sent over the new Skookum for us to review. After assembling it, I was ready to take it out on its maiden voyage at the wold famous Fullerton Loop.

Surprisingly the Promax disc brakes worked pretty well. Once the pads got a good burn in, the bike could stop on a dime

24speed SRAM drive train was spot on when it came to shifting. By the way, those aren’t the pedals you get with the bike, those are mine. You’ll get a standard platform set of pedals.

The geometry was pretty comfortable, it felt just right for my body at 5’7″.
