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

I'd assume a Yakima Highroad or Frontloader would fit. Those clamp on to most anything.

Need more pics and details, please! That's a hell of a bike man.

I've never had an issue in 30 years. As mentioned before, cable and lock, remove anything that doesn't need a tool, don't leave it for extended (overnight) periods of time. And just make sure you have homeowners/renters insurance that will cover your bike if stolen (most do), and ask to have replacement cost.

I get the one facing the rear, and the side... But who's the one facing the sky for?

 

The chameleon is the best on plus in my opinion. I understand some terrain would excel with 29er, but the extra grip and cushion of plus makes the bike want to go harder.

 

Yeah, i'm in FL so the 29er tends to be more of a default wheelsize.

 

Any roadies here? Cat 2 roadie from the Bay Area.

 

I think it’s for when it’s folded down and loaded with bikes.

 

Hello!

 

Oh its tons of fun.

 

The rack without a bike is stored in the "up" position, but it folds down horizontal when bikes are on it, so those would be facing cars at the rear in that configuration .

 

I've got 3 bikes now (a hard tail, a DH Kona Stab and now this Transition Patrol) My riding partner Charlie is always down to go riding (well running for him, but you get the point)

 

I ride roads to get to the trails.

 

I ride roads also, but only recreationally. I'm not super serious about it.

 

That is a serious rear shock there. nice ride

 

I personally will never bring my 1986 Schwinn somewhere I'm not right next to it, mainly because of all the money I have into it plus time. I do have other bikes such as a Haro that I'm less attached to so that is the one I bring if I go most places unless I just go to park the truck and ride.

 

For those that wear spandex, Twin Six just came out with a kit that is old school Toyota livery looking.

Have you ever had their stuff? I’m curious what the quality is like

 

I have quite a bit of their stuff but its all 1st generation from back in the day like 2010. Quality was fine(not cheap but not high-end) but fit was kinda boxy, I don't wear any of the kits anymore. The casual wear I have like socks and t-shirts have held up extremely well though. Id imagine the fit and quality of the kits is better now since they are a much more established company.

 

Nice, I need some new kits so might try one out. The designs are cool enough haha

 

Installed Box drivetrain last night. Ended up making the chain one link too short but its still fine. The derailleur is a little funny in that when you are setting it up it doesn't curl (for lack of a better word) up as much as a sram/shimano unit. So for those that are installing them be weary on shortening the chain excessively.

Overall it feels like the Shimano it replaced. I will see how I like it when riding, think I still prefer Sram over both. Cant beat the price though.

 

Like the colors but I'll never understand the spandex and shaving of body parts in cycling. To each their own though.

 

I mean, the spandex thing is easy to explain, comfort. Not having loose clothing flap in the wind(comfort and aerodynamics), having sweat wick from your body as quickly as possible, having the least amount of extra weight on your body etc.

As for the shaving thing, I think its funny that cyclists garner so much attention when they do this. People who have tattoos shave, people that lift weights shave, people that swim shave etc.
