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

Must be post-tubes era riders.
I’m 150 and was running 30/33 with tubes “back in my day.”
Shit, bike park days I’m running 25/28 tubeless. Wouldn’t call it rock hard. Stiff, sure.

 

I just picked this bad boy up. I've always wanted a Santa Cruz so I decided to pull the plug. Definitely no regrets. It's such a fun bike to ride.

Santa Cruz 5010 Carbon S+

 

Rasta flag avatar, SC 5010, ... You better learn to "jib" with a quickness

 

Hey you're back!

BentOnVilLe is duH BeSt plAce to Ryde eva

 

Just like that - no wait?

 

Santa Cruz bikes are rubbish








said no one ever

 

You're thinking Specialized...



or Fezzari

 

Just did a full bleed on my reverb dropper... brought it back to life successfully...

Oh, put in an order on a Meta TR 29; expected November. I'm gonna be a full suspension dad!! Hope my Honzo doesn't get jealous.

 

Congrats! Which color did you go with? The Sand and High Polish ones look awesome.

 

Gun Metal; Essential build. I kind of wanted to get the Sand but thought matching truck/bike would be a bit too much

 

Yes that's me! And you're the guy that bought $7500 truck suspension to use in a parking garage. You must have a habit of buying expensive things and not using them

And yes to each their own. I am only jealous

 

I am very lucky to know someone who work there. No discount though but best thing, no wait time lol.

 

whats everyone's opinion on the best full face? I want light weight. I dont want the almost dirtbike style of mtb helmet. I want to go with the fox pro-frame unless someone has a better alternative along that same style



also a fan of

 

Check out the Leatt DBX 4.0 and the Troy Lee designs stage helmet as well. All good options, including the Fox

 

I picked up a proframe this season. I can't say it's the best because it's the only one I've tried but I love it regardless. I've heard the TLD helmet is very comparable.

 

Last call for my tire set I’m selling. 27.5 Maxxis High Roller II, Schwalbe Rocket Ron, and an extra tube.

Guy is driving from Modesto to possibly grab, but wanted to circle back if anyone local wants it for a TW discount.

 

Excellent. My bike promised in fall 2020, might arrive next spring 2021 IF I am lucky!

Edited to fix typos and dates.

 

I have the Troy Lee Designs Stage helmet and its pretty awesome and adjustable (padding inserts with varying thickness). Like @piff I only own one full face so I do not have much to compare it to. I would say it runs a little small so be careful if you order online. I have a large head (no hiding that) and I wear the XL/2XL

 

Sweet! Congrats! Gargame105.

 

That’s a Real nice bike
