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

I've actually smashed the RD a few times against rocks in Arizona, messed up a skinny exit and ended up landing on the rear derailleur, and accidentally dropped the bike on the drivetrain side. Each time, the RD disengaged, saving itself from my lack of skill.

Me thinking "$700 down the drain..."

Looks like you won that tailgate rack thing @honda50r

 

Oh shit! Holla for a dolla. Thanks for the reminder dude I totally forgot about that

 

I already proclaimed the giveaway as being rigged. I’m kneedropper on that forum

 

I've never even heard of the LatchIt rack but it's got solid reviews. I'm stoked about it -

Hopefully the giveaway is legit

 

Let me know how it goes. Since I have most of the options available, I was going to do a large review covering how to haul bikes on trucks. I really hoped I'd be able to get some time in with this one too, but alas. Perhaps you and I, as well as @Gunshot-6A to review his NS style rack, can team up and put it together. If you're in, let me know.

 

Just installed this set of custom built cross bars purchased from a fellow Tacomaworld member. Very sturdy and easy to install. Looking for input on what brand of bike rack to be able to mount 2x trail bikes.

 

Looks great. The gold standard is always One Up on here, but I've been happy with my Yakima Frontloaders. They've held bikes on a roof for thousands of miles with no issues.

 

Im not familiar with that brand. What model would fit on a truck box rack system?

 

Man, this dude taking the Jones bar concept to the next level!

 

Another dump of snow and -25 here... But man Spring can come anytime now!

 

Had the chance to demo a Kona Hei Hei today. First time on a FS bike and I gotta say I see one in my future.

Wanted to try a 27.5 but there were lots of people in line and beggars cant be choosers so I took the first medium frame that came available, which happened to be in a 29er. That was the only thing that I would change, otherwise I loved it. Took a minute to get used to the FS but I really took to it on the downhills.

 

Guess who's been mandated to "ride from home"...I mean "work from home" for the next 2 weeks?

 

I’ve been working from home since Thursday and it has been more stressful than this year has been so far....some people just can’t handle that it’s 2020 and working from home is a viable option...

 

I don't get anything done working from home

 

Its inconvenient for me since I dont have things like a scanner at home, so I am rushing to get all my in-office stuff done today before security notices I'm still here.

Also, I am def gonna be out riding my bike a lot. The weather Wednesday and Thursday is gonna be lame so I gotta get my riding in early!

 

if my setup is right I get a lot of work done. Fridays used to be my most productive days when I had a nice home office setup. Now my office is also my bike shop, gym, and storage area so it’s not as comfortable.

I’m hoping the whole not having to commute will give me more time to ride though

 

my commute is 15 mins so...yeah. But my commute to the trailhead is 7 minutes...

 

Saving 16 minutes already! Haha my commute is about 45 minutes each way so that’s basically a short ride a day

 

Upside is I'll finally get to watch Pinkbike's Movies for your Monday on Monday
