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

Need some help?

 

You gotta get those cables tidied up bud.

 

Cool. I don’t give a damn what it looks like.

But hopefully you’re filming when that brake cable catches a branch.

 

Wobbly front fork when going downhill real fast and wobbles when doing quick trail runs up at Kingdom in Vermont.

 

Lol I agree. Why is that front brake cable routed like that?

 

didnt know haven’t contaminated brakes can do that. I’ll make sure to keep mine as clean as possible now.

 

I was in the middle of my cross country trip last week, when I walked into The Hub bicycle shop in Bentonville, Arkansas, and saw this beauty sitting there in front of me on her launch day. She was pure f'n sex on wheels IMO.

26 pounds of Transition "downcountry" goodness. I think I'm in love.

 

Made another friend in SLC, located "across from Draper in Herriman."

More reason to visit @Gunshot-6A and company out there. Any chance could crash at your place if I/we make the trip? No more than 3 of us

 

Spur looks pretty sexy I agree.

My brother tried to demo the Scout, next to the Spur, but that shop had some real weird hours that did not coincide with the three days he was up there on a bikecation.

 

My goodness what a beaut! I'm headed to Bentonville next week to shred. Can't wait!

 

I'm heading out there next week for a coupe of weeks. Mostly for some Uinta fun, but certainly will be riding a fair bit.

Oh, and this thing... Certainly has caught my eye.

 

¿Que es Unita?

 

It's the big mountain range east of SL. No mountain biking up there, but all the biggest peaks are up there. Wifey and I are going to backpack King's Peak (highest peak in Utah, 13,500), and do some car camping and fishing mountain lakes up there. Super peaceful and remote.

Most of the area looks like this:

 

I'm sure we could find some space for you. Wouldn't happen to be a guy named Landon would it?

 

Looks dreamy. I can't wait till my wife finally is out of grad school and we can have lives

No it's a guy named Sean. We are in business together and he seems like a cool cat

 

presta valve pressure gauge recommendations? I usually just use the gauge on my floor pump, but want to pick up a small gauge to take on the bike to change pressures.

 

also @Bannerman I remember you said I need to pick up a shock pump. recommendation?

 

I have the Fox shock pump and it’s pretty good for $25.

 

I've never found a shock pump or tire pressure gauge that was super accurate. I just found the pressure that works with the equipment that I have with trial and error, then use that same equipment for a repeatable result. So my fork pressure may not be exact 73 PSI, but the fork feels just right at 73PSI on MY shock pump.

 

yeah I mean anything close would work for me. I just know starting my ride at Monte Sano I'd like to be like 30psi to climb the road...then drop to like 20-22 for the trails and I don't have an accurate way to do that.

shock pump would obviously be a set and be good...not changing on the fly
