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

With the paint and decals you added, I don't see any reason to consider the commencal option. Maaaaybe if the wife or I had a commencal.

 

Hey, SL boys...
Mitch is ridiculous.

Yeah, totally got skunked on that ride. Oh well, rode High Star and loved it! So fun!
I'll be back out for the month of October (likely). Definitely squeezing in a TWE and camping trip. Let's finally ride!

 

Burro pass was definitely under snow this weekend. Looked like it was melting out pretty quick by the time I left moab though. I'm aiming for a WE first weekend of October.

 

That Strider bike looks SICK in the new paint job...holy cow. Nicely done. I'd totally do something like that if I could.

Super interesting regarding MTB demographics.

 

High Star is one of my favorite spots that I always sorta overlook and then I ride it and remind myself how fun it is.

 

I'm laughing my ass off. Found my old PinkBike profile and a photo of my old bike. It was a .243 frame that had been painted. 24" wheels and all

 

Red Rock Open Space.

 

I dig this thread more every day! Man I need my bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry. My apologies.

 

Why everything cost money.

I’m not sold on this backpack and GoPro mount yet, but backcountry has great return service.

they actually told me to feel free to order a few sizes of the shoes and return what doesn’t fit. Lol

 

Fanny pack is the way to go.

 

This.

Haven't worn my pack once since picking up the fanny pack

 

Agreed. Ordered the Dakine bum bag and it has been great.

 

does .5 liters run out on you?

also I guess this nice on e13. I noticed some harshness in my bearings when rotating the axle spacer with my fingers in it.

However now I’ve gotta look up how to pull the bearings without damaging wheel. Lol

 

I’ve read reviews on this pack, some say because of the way it doesn’t put weight on your shoulders it’s very comfy. Idk we shall see again I can send it all back.

I’m more sad about the moola it costs. I love been using a cheaper camelback.

 

A fanny pack can be had cheaper, that’s what I’m saying. My osprey is a game changer. I don’t care what reviews say I won’t go back to a bag on my back unless I just need a shit ton of supplies.

 

how much water do you guys drink while riding? A 12 mile 15 mile trip has me almost finishing 2L. I think Bc I know I’ve got it so I just sip the whole time

 

I now take 3 bottles of water on a trip. 2 on my fanny pack and one on the bike. I haven’t finished all 3 yet on a ride and I’ve done a few longer rides like that.

 

well that dadgum Capra ain’t got no stinking bottle mounts

I think I’d like one of those .5 liter fanny packs, I just don’t wanna buy another one lol.

If I don’t like this backpack then I guess I’ll return it and try it though. Taking to YouTube to watch people’s impressions of back value waist for water carrying.
