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

if that is real...id say he deserves it considering it says "girlfriend" not "ex girlfriend"

 

I don't understand how you could axe some of those cuts without hitting the other stuff. Like the rear triangle is wrecked, but somehow all of the spokes are still in tact? And how all the nicks in the top tube magically missed all the brake lines?

 

Thankfully i work in the outdoor industry, yakimas deal is pretty good and the new Dr. Tray looks too good to pass up, crossing fingers that it clears the tail gate... if not then i guess the hunt will continue! infact the Dr. Tray dare i say looks a little nicer than the Kuat and ended up being less expensive with my deal than the kuat. hope it ends up being as nice as it looks!

 

I'll be in Grand Junction riding from Friday morning to Sunday midday if anybody wants to join / camp / hang out. May hit the Alaska Trails in Moab on the way home Sunday as well.

Weather is gonna be amazeballs as well!

 

did just find this, looks like Dr. Tray is a clean fit with Tacos! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xSOJ8MnL28

 

This is the rack I use. I was able to open the back of my subaru with the rack loaded, havent tested it on the truck yet but I should be using the rack thursday and can let you know how it works.

 

Does anyone who has a Rockymounts rack know if it can mess up your fork? I have the one that closes over the thru axle and it seems like since it's the only point of contact, if you took a corner too hard or slammed the brakes with your bike in it it could bend/break something... I haven't had any problems yet, but it just seems like a possibility.

 

Knowing some of the stuff I have put my bike through and come out the other side, I'm guessing you would prob roll your truck before you broke an axle.

 

This. I can only imagine that under load, your axle is taking a bigger beating with you fully loaded up there as well, railing through corners.

 

Ok yeah I figured it's fine but just wanted to make sure since it's an expensive investment. Thanks guys!

 

Do you not corner hard or get air and come down in the trail?

 

Haha touché

 

do you even roost bro!?!?!

Bike season is now upon us!

What new goodies are ya'll puttin on the bike this year?

 

The cable lock cylinder fell off in a parking lot on our Kuat once, they shipped us a new one ASAP for free, it was great!

 

picked up a pike that's basically new for dirt cheap, new shock, all for my rip9!

 

made my "bike rack" this past weekend and my wife even painted it for me. holds our bikes very well and definitely heavy enough it won't slide around in the bed of the truck. cost me around $36 in lumber and paint.

 

I'll be installing my fork locks in the bed rails this weekend. I was REALLY hoping to be able to post pics of my new ride but it looks like I won't be getting it until June because money. Either way I'll be rocking my Fuse this spring with no regerts. Question for you guys: Anyone riding the Kona Hei Hei Trail? That's what I'm getting. My major criteria for that is I can get it local and have it built the way I want it and the guys are super cool. Oh, what vendor on here has those brackets that lower where you would attach your fork mounts? Back to the vendor page...

 

Idk here’s my carbon crank arm after sending it to flat,nearly got seriously hurt from my pedal-spindle-crank arm from snapping off.

I’m sure I could break a aluminum crank arm too!ive busted bottom brackets on hard landings and had both pedals fall down,I do like the benifits of carbon at high speeds though,helps a lot with vibration and braking fatigue,however the bike industry prices are just stupid silly these days!

 

Looks great! Now I have to paint mine.

My bed rack sits on top of two d-rings in front of the bed. I made 2 cutouts in the outside boards to clear them and as a bonus they double as a 'stop' so that the bike rack does not slide back when accelerating. I see you have a bed mat which probably solved that issue nicely.
