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

NBD!
First real bike day!!

 

OH! Which one? Pictures once assembled! Must see! Show me! LET ME SEE IT NOW! I mean.....please?

 

February, as in 4 months ago?!?! Where do you live?

I've had my RakAttach on my van, and now truck, for almost three years and it doesn't look anything like that. I get a bit of squeaking from the pivot about twice a year, but I just hit it with some WD40 and that goes away. I bought mine direct from the guy that built the original design; he lives like 20 minutes from me in Summit Park, UT. I think the design was sold to 1Up (and Kuat?) a bit ago, maybe they've been skimping on bolts or something?

 

I forget that they have connections with UT. but of course.

 

Anyone got good bike related stuff that I could pick up at Home Depot? I have a gift card to use and I'm pretty well set on tools and stuff right now.

 

more wood for kickers? DIY home bike storage stand? mobile toolbox for when you're travelling?

 

a designated bike tool box?

 

Meta TR origin. Was about to order the clash but I'm about 4 hours from the Sierra Nevada range and around my local area, a clash would be overkill. Maybe next year. I'll post pics when it's put together.

 

Have a DIY bike rack for my bike, well stocked tool box full of spares, etc in the truck. If only HD sold Park or Abbey Tools, then I'd be in the money!

 

oh nice! sweet bike. i think the meta tr hits the mid travel mark pretty well. the newest version (just released yesterday) kinda blurs the lines a bit imo. excited for you man!

 

yeah....park tools. always need more park tools.

 

can you use your home depot gift card, to buy a gift card from their checkout lines? get an Amazon gift card and buy park tools? lol

 

My permanent address is in Idaho but this truck is in Atlanta, GA (we live here too). I find it unusual since we didn't get any snow this year. If I get no response from 1Up I'll just get some new stainless steel nuts and washers to replace the rusty bits. I'll also check to see if the rust has spread into the arms while I have it apart (if so, I'll treat that bit as well).

 

Damn, Im slackin this morning. Thats usually my go to maneuver when i get gift cards to the grocery store, etc for work.

 

I wasn't sure if that would actually work haha, to buy a gift card with a gift card. I never have done it.

 

Tent fan for camping trips.

 

Thats the difference of west vs east coast camping. Even in the height of summer, it gets like in the 70s at night. Here's the forecast for one of my favorite riding areas:

 

Cruising the home depot website...STEEL IS REAL! I'm guessing that's not Reynolds 4130

 

LOLOLOL whaaa?! specs! geo! this is hilarious.

 

SLACK AF. Grim Donut geometry is so dated.
