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

If that Yakima front loader is $200 it’s too expensive. It’s your money, so you decide of course who you would like to support.

I will say, you’re more likely to find the Yakima sold used on marketplace and craigslist though.

 

I used Thule Sidearms and I positioned them with the bike facing rear for that reason if I remember correctly. I think if I positioned it with the bike facing forwards the door would hit the tire. But my rear tires did not interfere with the door opening when backwards. There was atleast 4-6” of clearance or so with my Ripmo AF. Also depends on the bike and how long it is though. With my fiancé’s hard tail and my gravel bike there is ample clearance. But I also had bed bars and not a full rack, so I could have slid the racks furthers towards the back of the bed in the rails if I needed more clearance. I’m not sure where your rack mounts sit and if that could be do able for you if you needed extra clearance.

 

I am getting put through the ringer sourcing an HG hub! As soon as I can I will send it out to you (I haven't forgotten about pics)

My Chase Sapphire has been a very solid card for me. Super simple cashback, no categories, and the opening bonus was insane. It's about that time to get a new card though - I have been watching out for new card deals. Hopefully upcoming holiday season I will see some more opportunities to take the credit card companies' money

No it opened fine

 

I've churned enough CC that I can't apply for anymore at this point.

 

How do the companies track that?

 

No idea, I looked into it and it is a thing.

I have around a 760-780 score and still can't get any new cards.
I've never paid any interest on a CC, maybe they can track that too.

 

How many do you have? Ive read that certain cards don’t approve people with more than a certain number of applications. Like the chase sapphire reserve had a reviewing saying if you had more than 5 applications you’d get denied regardless of everything else.

 

Dang that is a bummer. I have heard of folks hacking dozens of cards

 

Happy Election Day everyone. Get out there and vote (if you haven't already) and make your voice heard.

Then go vote for something a little more fun. PB GoPro Line of the Year.

 

I’ve probably got 10 or so. My every day carry’s are Costco Citi, and Citi double chase back.

I’ve opened cards got the 500 back and closed them before the $95 fee though. However I don’t do that often Bc closing a card hurts credit score.

 

Sealant suggestions? Currently using Stans no real complaints other than seeping from my last tires. But figured I’d try something new for when I swap my tires over to my new I9 enduro 305’s. Had to have some liquid courage in order to hit the submit order button. But I did it.

 

I've been curious about Black Ox Tire Sealant.

You're all good man, no rush at all. You said a week or so which is honestly better for me anyway.

 

Stan's race sealant was on sale somewhere when I bought it. Believe it was a quart for 30.

 

Orange endurance

 

I like orange sealz, but weeping through the sidewalls seams to happen with all sealants eventually.

 

You guys are all awesome- thanks so much for the feedback! I knew if I asked on here someone had done it before. For those that mounted bikes on the sides, have you had any issues with wobble or bikes coming loose etc?

That 1up looks sweet! I need to check them out! But you are right, a member on here actually was willing to sell me two Thule sidearms for 140 which I felt was pretty sweet- TW for the win again. This community is awesome

 

Man, watching those videos makes me realize just how bad I suck at riding. lol

 

Yes sir, new vs new 1UP hands down.

Used obviously whatever best fits your budget and what you get the best deal on, however there's a reason we never see any 1UP racks on the used market.

 

ok some of those folks are simply NOT HUMAN. those videos are sick

that being said, my vote went to Mark Matthews.

 

Ha, I have a 6 bike shuttle rack in addition to my oneup. I look forward to mounting my 1up after dealing with that monstrosity. Pretty sure its like 75 pounds.
