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

Took the new Fargo on her first shakedown ride yesterday -- 15 miles of pavement, 3 miles of gravel, and 8 miles of singletrack. Needless to say, she's a f'n blast to ride!

Rock gardens are certainly interesting with dropbars, though... lol

A few hiccups with the shifting that require minor adjustments, and I need to throw my pump in the bag so I can change tire pressures when switching to/from singletrack, but no issues otherwise. Now I just need this damn plague to go away so I can put some real mileage on her in the wilderness.

 

Your ready for some serious bike packing!!

 

Your dog is a sender! Made it farther than you did

 

Took Draco for a short lap and then let him take a quick dip.






Now he's diligently guarding the steaks on the bbq.

 

Haha ain’t nothin wrong with singlespeed or fat chicks!

 

Yeah he is a beast. I checked my speed, dumb.

 

I like a SS now and again but I’ll kick a fat chick right to the curb.

 

Put on a new Enve M6 Carbon bar on my Rocky Mountain Element 70 MSL. going to try it out tomorrow.

 

Those deer look like they have cwd!

 

Anyone down around Savannah, GA. I will be moving this summer to the flat lands of the southern east coast. From my googling I have found some trails which I can’t wait to ride because they are new but not much terrain. Still it will be a lot of fun.

 

No but I’ve spent a lot of time down there, have a good buddy there. It’s a pretty fun town, kind of a dirty, less touristy version of Charleston.

 

anyone selling softopper over the rail bike mounts? they discontinued making these or does anyone have any other options?

 

I keep the drivetrain and suspension clean but rarely wash the frame and wheels. But she does look nice all cleaned up.

Dawn patrol riding "Tapeworm" this morning.

The pedal up was a grind, but the down was a perfect mix of techy steeps and rippin flow.

 

I make a set! https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/sideride-bike-mounts-from-squareone-creations.660977/

 

Tried to go out for a bike ride. Too many damn people!

 

So on Fox shocks, is this really only used for the thru-axles with hand tighteners (like pictured) to make them arrive tightly latched in vertical position? or also with Hex wrench thru-axles? I have a hex but doesnt seem like it really matters for them, just want to make sure im not wrong.

 

It’s just to keep the lever in the position you want. I replaced my through axle with a hex so doesn’t really matter anymore
