Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

I personally have not. It is a long haul/commitment from where I live. I have plenty of other 100+ milers under the belt though.

 

1 question I have for systems like this if you mount the front wheel or how do you lock out the headset so the back end isn't bouncing around in the bed? I =could see mounting the back tire as its a rigid connection to the frame.... but the front. take one good bump, frame is going to be bouncing all around the bed.

A buddy of mine has the Dakine for his Titan and has been happy with it. defiantly cheaper than going with a rack. but we have found if there is only one or two bikes they tend to move along the tailgate.... mind you he has an older model without the individual ties for each frame. The new EVOC pad seems to eliminate the issue with the separate frame guards. and straps.

Yea my riding consists more of shuttling up and riding down haha....

 

I use a small Dakine with the straps and they still shift a little, so I use bungee cords wrapped through the rear wheel and attached to the tiedowns on the rail system to keep them in place. Either that or all my travel gear stuffed between the bikes

 

Turner Czar XXL from Moab trip this past November.
Zee brakes 180/160, China carbon rims, SixC cranks and handlebar, X01 drivetrain with 30T front, Pike reduced to 120mm from 130mm, Thompson stem and seatpost. XT pedals, XR3 Bontrager tires. Pure XC, but heavier duty parts for somebody my size.

 

How are the China carbon rims?

 

I have a long bed so my 29er fits straight but I made a shoe that my back tire fits into and then I run a small strap around it.

 

Light Bicycle? I run one in the front, and its been great. I don't trust it for the rear. I've been through many rear hoops on my enduro 29 lol

 

So, I cancelled my order with Jenson and picked up a Dakine at a local bike shop. I really like it so far. Only real issue is that it blocks the backup camera.

Im shooting for leadville depending on how i do at the austin rattler 100 qualifier. Either that or nationals again

 

We have a Giant Roam and Rove (hybrids) for the wife and I, but we just picked up a Giant Talon for myself and a Trek Xcalibur for her. The plan is tomorrow night to be our first winter/night ride with the new wheels and then push on from there. Pretty thrilled and can't wait to get both the truck and the bikes out into some shit.

 

Incredibly stiff. 30mm internal width. One full season on them with no issues other than some broken spokes and hub pawls (260lbs).

 

That dog is freaking me out.

 

LoL - should try living with him... waking up to glowing eyes!

 

Got some pedal time in today at Marshall Canyon.

 

We were able to get out and go for our first night ride. It was icy as heck, but we survived on the main loop of the trail. I can't wait to get out again!!

 

New shock on the DH. Brought the bike to 32 pounds!!

 

How do you like the float x? I just got a 2016 float x evol for my Enduro and there are no reviews of it at all!

That's awesome! There is not much more you can do to shed weight, maybe full Ti bolts? Also that's lighter than my trail bike haha!

 

The habit and the taco. Finally put the i9 wheels on. Weighs just under 27 without the saddle bag and bottle
