Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

Heading back up to Oregon in a few weeks. I hope to get some riding in.

 

Anyone local sell Lapierre? I’ve been looking at trance/reign, Bronson/5010, YTs, Scott Genius and I’m thinking about it too much haha

 

Lol I know the feeling.
No one sells them locally anymore. Yt industries seems to be a good bang for the buck too! Nice guys as well. Local as you probably know.

 

I don’t think we have a YT dealer locally anymore either. Could be wrong though. I know zink isn’t anymore.

 

Bummer!

 

If you're interested in santa cruz, I'm sure you already know Black Rock bikes is one stop shopping.
Your previous question about all mtn vs enduro is too subjective for any of us to answer. Just depends what type of riding you like to do & how much you want to pedal haha. Are you just getting into to MTB or returning after being away for a while?

EDIT: yup.....definitely misread your initial post re:all mtn/enduro. You're just looking for advice on brands/models?

 

If you wait til North Star opens up you can hit up their demo bike shop. Lots of mountain to test every aspect of their bikes. Mostly downhill/enduro bikes. Not sure if they are still running Giant bikes but it's worth a look. Plus they discount their bikes if you're looking to buy.

 

BS threads for the win again! From guns, to hunting, to nude beaches, to bikes. I wonder what's next?

 

Meet at the wild orchid???

 

Yeah NS is tight. I bought a bike up there last year.

 

I settled on a Bronson today!

 

I like it. A nice couples friendly place to talk Tacomas, hunting, and bikes...and nude beaches. Sounds perfect.

 

Nice shots! It was a superb evening out tonight. We walked down by the river for a couple hours. Best time of the year IMO.

 

Found some more cool places out here.

It was not great out here at the lake today, but I know we have not great weather next few days so I figured I would take what I could get today and get out for some fun. Teaching the wife how to crawl with her new rig.

 

Looking to buy a 6x14 OR a 7x14. Basically, towing a UTV + a quad to be a nice person. Single axle only. Also I use this trailer as a dump and moving stuff around.

I feel with the Tacoma the 7x14 would have more difficult time towing. When I mean difficult towing, I mean down dirt roads in the middle of Nevada. I recently just sold my 5x10. It was impressively tight / super difficult to load, the size of trailer worked extremely good for dirt roads.

What do you guys think?

 

I know it's kinda apples to oranges but I tow a double axle travel trailer that weighs about 5,500 lbs loaded and the truck does okay with it. Wouldn't want to go any heavier on a regular basis since it has to work pretty good in the mountains (the transmission heats up pretty quick heading north out of Reno on 395).

 

Dam it! I missed the nude beach BS

 

@theredofshaw I finally took you up on that open dumpster at your work so thanks for the heads up!
