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

I've been using chain butter a lot. it's been good for me. probably need to do a deep clean of my drivetrain here pretty soon though.

 

Height and bike length are your big variables. Keeping the fork as low as you can gives more clearance for the bars. Bikes are getting longer, you may have to angle the rear to make it fit. This will limit how many bikes and the amount of other stuff you can transport.

As stated above, yes it’s doable. Just depends on what you have and what you want to do with it.

I ran the configuration pictured below for years with multiple different bikes I’ve owned. The most modern was a medium ‘18 Trek Fuel EX 9.9 with a 130mm fork. Not exactly on the extreme scale of modern geo, but a semi recent 29er. That bike required more angle of the rear than previous bikes. If I wanted to run two bikes on-board I‘d likely need to rejig my ghetto mounts, or start from scratch again.

 

Thanks, backcountryj!

I did quite a bit of measuring and test-fitting , but photo confirmation is nice. Out of curiosity, what shell do you have?

 

I’m a fan of Rock N Roll chain lube for my area!

 

I did something random today, I ordered a 2020 Salsa Cutthroat... ya, crazy huh. I think it will be so much fun up in the Highlands linking dirt roads, Jeep trail and singletrack!

 

I bought tires. 2.5 DHF and a 2.4 DHR II. How original.

All dressed up. 690poe is mind blowing. You put pressure on the pedal and the cogs turn immediately.

LOVE my i9 wheelset on my hardtail. Bought them from someone who was sponsored by them but I love the colors and can't go wrong with that torch hub noise, who needs a bell? I named my bike Rainbow Brite .

 

On a road trip, trying to do all the things...having my bike with me always makes it better!

 

It just sits. I have maybe 200 miles on the bike total, and only 2 rides since last June.

 

Put up some pics and prices, I'm sure you'll get interest...
