All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Does anyone know of an outboard bike mount available that could be used with a topper or rigid tonneau cover in place? Voodoo used to offer a mount that would have worked with a tonneau, but would only work with some toppers as they stuck straight our from the bed rail.

Looking to end up with something like this, but without all the exo-cage rack stuff, and I prefer a fork mount.

 

Softopper used to make a mount as well that was very similar. They still had a few leftovers on their website a while back when I checked.

I didn't they would be THAT hard to make yourself if you had a little bit of DIY savvy, but talking to @KB Voodoo a while back about making a pair, the bend angles get really screwy, etc.

 

If I were to put up my seldom ridden fatbike (2016 Specialized Fatboy SE) to sell for $1K, would any of you be interested?

I got to ride a Santa Cruz Chameleon this past weekend that a friend had, and it must be added to the stable.

 

Hell yes! I've been riding BMX since the early 80's. Couldn't resist the Haro Lineage when it was released:

 

Found a picture on my computer of the moment before things went VERY wrong riding the "Ribbon" trail in Grand Junction last season:

 

A taco and bikes.

 

I’m working on figuring out my new rack set up now. Was planning on doing the Yakima Locking Blockhead but I don’t think it works with Thru Axle’s. Adding an adapter seems to kinda defeat the locking purpose. What are you guys running for these things? Bike is a 2014 Trek Fuel EX7 for reference.

 

What bed cover is that? I have the Yakima racks but the bed cover looks legit.

 

It's a Pace Edwards Ultra Groove. You'll need to order a couple landing pad 1 hardware kits.

 

Thank you

 

** hey all, if there is any interest, i just listed my 2017 Santa Cruz Nomad, hit me up with any questions if you are interested!

I got the 1UP Heavy Duty today! I can't believe the low profile when in the "stored" position. I think I'm gonna love this thing...

 

Just in time for another huge pow dump! LOL

This weak winter got me stoked to keep biking, and then the snow came. Back to your regularly scheduled winter I guess...

 

Can’t get enough of this thing

 

Nice day for a ride.

 

What did you use to mount the rocky mounts to? What is that silver plate on the bed? Did you mount it to the bed or does it just rest there? Thanks!

 

That’s sweet! I’m fixing up my 1984 GHP Long so I can ride with my kid. He started racing and I’ve been riding my single speed mt. bike on the track with him. Can’t wait to do some laps on the GHP, I got it when I was 12! I’ll post some pics when I get it cleaned up, I just need a seat post and seat.

 

Here is my scout, Love this thing

PS, I listed my Rocky Mounts Drive Shaft Track on here for sale. Brand new, doesn’t work on my truck due to roll up bed cover. $70 shipped to you. PM me.

 

Went racing today saw a bunch of other tacomas and some really nice bikes. I didn't finish last in age class this year so that made me quite happy. and yes that is a 37t front ring on a trail bike my legs hate me.

 

I use the 47" Saris Traps Triple Track (https://www.saris.com/product/traps-triple) to mount the Hotrod Rockymounts along with traditional road bike skewer mounts (when needed). The Traps Triple Track is not mounted, it sits on the OEM Toyota truck mat. The track is heavy enough to stick to the mat without sliding around when driving. Not being mounted is nice when loading it up with three or four bikes, gives me the flexibility to move the track left/right and/or forward/back depending on the bike types that are being hauled (road, CX/gravel, mtb).
