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

The orange / black model was the only way to get the all black hull plastics, and the plan was always to cut it up so no big deal. The orange seat was never in the plans anyway, had to be black. Put enough race parts at the boat and it will look as good as it goes.

 

Put a new top cap on the air side of a Fox 36 tonight.

Sea-Doo did it right with the spark. It’s one of few boats that’s have peaked my interest in the last few years. Still keep telling myself I’m gonna put an order in for a super jet, but I continue to spend my fun money on bikes

 

I've been running 2.3 Minion DHF and DHRII on my Transition Scout (they came with the bike) and have been happy overall. Tires still have quite a bit of life in them, but I'm thinking of switching to something with a bit better rolling resistance for the summer. Eventually I'd like to go 2.5/2.4 f/r but since my 2.3 Minion DHF is still in good shape I was thinking about grabbing a 2.3 Aggressor for the rear. Any feedback or alternate suggestions? Does it roll enough better than the DHRII to warrant swapping?

Live in the PNW so quite varied terrain especially in the summer. Overall the summer is quite dry with everything from forest loam to loose over hard to chunky rocks.

 

almost anything will roll better than the minion twins. I've never ridden the aggressor but I know a few people who do and I hear good things. They rip it pretty hard so it should do you just fine. I run Assegai up front and dhr-II in the rear. the Assegai is great up front. LOADS of traction. the rear, I'm leaning towards the dissector or aggressor for my next tire. Honestly, I think any of those options will work for you unless you're very particular and shred like a pro.

 

Added light to bike rack for more visibility. Had to make a quick connector because I kept pulling out trailer plug on accident when I would use the swing out.

 

Quick after work rip!

 

Yep! I put a 2” receiver on my swing out and have a kuat Sherpa hitch rack that I use because it’s lighter than most of The other non wheel removal hitch racks


If I were to do this on a dual swing out I would fab up a virtual hanging style rack for 2 bikes

 

Yea my last (and first real bike) was a specialized hardrock sport disc (don’t make them anymore) and I was trying to learn some of that trial biking and riding on 2x4s and stuff. That bike got stolen in college after I put my hard earn money into it and I never got another one. I really just did the spiked pedals on that and it seemed good. With 2 kids and a job (and too many other hobbies) I don’t see myself getting as involved as i once was trying; no time. That similar set up I imagine should fit my needs.

appreciate the input from you gents.

 

Hi all, does anyone know of any bed rail style system that will keep a bike upright without removing the front wheel? I have a long bed, so it seems pointless to remove the wheel and I'd like to just have my bike and my wife's on opposite sides of the bed standing up.

 

not really, most require front wheel removal. I use a rocky Mount monorail bit it goes in the hitch. The rack can be removed from the hitch so you can secure them to some bed bars pretty easily, but is the extra expense really worth not removing a quick release wheel?

 

I found this for cheap

Or this but more expensive.

When I had a long bed I made something out of PVC like what Colton58d posted below. I was able to hold 3 bikes I believe. I think bikes are a bit longer now though so you might not be able to fit on straight in anymore

 

Of course, when I finally decide to get a bike, they are sold out everywhere :/

 

what are you looking for?

 

A lot of entry level bikes are sold out. If you are looking at nicer trail bikes supply isnt as bad.

 

Don’t hesitate to check out Facebook marketplace or craigslist! Can find some lightly used bikes there

 

Don't know what kind of bike you're trying to fit, but most modern mountain bikes are longer than 6ft...

 

You can make your own out of PVC tubing or the Thule Instagater works well if your bike will fit.

 

I was lucky enough to find a Liv for my wife, but I was looking at Diamondback hardtail since I get a discount through work. All the shops around me are sold out and from what I am seeing online DB, Giant and Trek are sold out as well.

I was looking at bikes under and around 1k
