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

Back from the shop with a new dropper and a fresh suspension tune. Love riding this bike.

Side note it just snowed today with a high of 34. Ugh... come back spring.

 

I've never been able to pull the trigger on that last move on the Horsethief drop in.

 

Absolutely. That should be a gorgeous time for riding these areas!

Drop me a line and we'll figure something out.

 

I just purchased my 2018, installed my Kuat Transfer and found out it hits the tailgate when it's down. That won't work for me. I have seen the Yakima DrTray and the 1Up, both are very expensive. I have a Revolver X4 tonneau cover and would prefer to not have to mess with a bed mount rack. Any other Hitch mount racks that would clear the tailgate when it is lowered besides the two I have already mentioned?

 

^^^ 1Up isn’t cheap but it works. It clears the tailgate when flat, and at least with our two bikes (full suspension 29-ers) it also clears when the bikes are loaded and the hitch is tilted down.

 

The new Kuat Sherpa 2.0 clears the tailgate. Only problem is it is limited to two bikes.

 

Dam ...Montana looks so awesome!!!

 

Made a DIY bike rack for the truck bed. It holds 3 bikes and can be mounted on the bed side if I'm carrying a bunch of camping gear.



I used some spare unistrut and 1-1/2 x 1/8 flat bar.

With a short box my 29er is just a bit too long.

 

Just use this guy's line....

Most people I have seen go left off that first big drop. But otherwise that is the line...

Helps when you are good enough to be the brand ambassador for RM Bikes...

 

Good idea, I'll probably be waiting another month a half till snow is gone... add a couple weeks and it'll be dry if I'm lucky. Bought a Devinci Spartan GX Carbon last year and I rode it... maybe twice? Before air quality from all of the fires in BC turned riding into a nightmare.

 

I havent posted any photos of my truck nor my bike on here.... its currently missing my Tepui on the back (waiting on new mounting rails) but here she sits currently, with my Santa Cruz Nomad X01!

 

GREAT bike... wrong color truck

 

Its all I could afford.... the bike matched my old Gold Rav4 a lot better. but someone decided to rear end me with my old 2018 Nomad on the back. Totaling the bike and the car all at once... These are the replacements

 

I'm such a sucker for skinwall tires..

 

Had 4 flats on porcupine rim the other week... good thing we all brought extra tubes!

Yeah, 4 seems about right!

 

You are the first Nomad I've seen with skinwalls. Looks good!

How do you like the Onzas? I can't quite make out the model. Ibex, Canis or ...?

 

LMAO

 

they are the Ibex, they arent bad, who knows right now how long they will last but they have a similar tread to a high roller. ive gotta have a few more rides to really have some thoughts on them. im typically a minion guy front and back
