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

Switching to a motorcycle tie Dow bar?

 

LOL no. My dirt bike days are over

 

For now!

 

Speaking from personal experience, a great combo!

 

I finally got to try out my 5.10 contacts yesterday and I must say they are all they're hyped up to be. They were phenomenal. I'm no pro rider but it's the first time my feet did not come off of my pedals since I started biking.

 

FYI to anyone in the WNC area

 

Does oneup ever run any deals? Wanting on of the "roof racks" initially. But, since my new work van has a hitch, it would be nice for out of town trips

 

Don’t think so. At least not that I’ve seen or heard of, and I was on the look out for a couple years before just biting the bullet. Sorry

 

Heres a shot of mine from this past weekend in the Dona Ana Mountains

 

Nope! Scour craigslist, FB marketplace etc for a used one.

 

Sweet Bike!

 

Jealous! We've had about 6'' of rain in the last week and I do enough trailwork to know it's not a good idea to get out there until we've had a chance to clear out drains and stuff. And it's not letting up. All autumn as plants dry up, trails get dust-choked, and fires burn, we pray for rain, and when it's here ... we realize we can't ride. Yeah, we're spoiled.

 

Got a chance to go ride on Sunday, finally! A local youtube dude was out there recording and made this, I thought it came out pretty well!

 

No...it has to be swung out of the way to completely lower the tailgate...it makes contact on one of the wheel holders right at the edge of the tailgate. It's close but not quite

 

It was a great morning, the trails where nice and frozen. I love catching the sunrise!

 

BTW, this is my light out put from a 850 lumen on my helmet and 800 on the bars. No excuses about daylight.

 

I just picked up a 1200 for my bars and 850 for my helmet. Just need a helmet mount and I’m gonna try to make the local group night ride next Tuesday!

 

My handlebar light:

$64 Cygolite Metro Pro – 1100 Lumen Bike Light – 9 Night & Day Modes – Compact & Durable – IP67 Waterproof – Secured Hard Mount – USB Rechargeable Headlight – For Road, Mountain, Commuter Bicycles, Black

Cygolite Metro Pro 1100


My ultra-light helmet light (which does double duty as the best camping headlamp ever):
BioLite HeadLamp 330

This combo has worked flawlessly for me on any terrain, and I can't even tell that something is attached to my helmet.

 

I’d do the 1200 on your head if the weights are similar.

 

I’ll try it and see if I notice the difference. They use the same mounts so it shouldn’t matter
