Min-Max: Bean's 2017 Salsa Timberjack

May 2022

Bean's Salsa Timberjack is loaded down with interesting tales while satisfying a selectively-sourced, budget-forward build...

Highs
  • Affordable aluminum frame

  • Versatile adjustable dropouts for chainstay length and single-speed setup

  • Good platform for budget builds and upgrades

  • Lightweight wheelset (1450g)

  • Quality hubs (DT Swiss 350/240)

  • Custom frame bag

  • ShiRAMano drivetrain mix for durability and value

  • TRP Slate EVO brakes with easy bleed and good support in US

Lows
  • Frame not steel

  • Geometry dated compared to current models (68° HTA, 73.5° STA)

  • RockShox SID fork considered forgettable; Pike would have been better for tire clearance and damper

  • GXP cranks tend to eat BB bearings

  • TRP brakes have limited small parts support in Canada
