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

We should adjust clocks so that it never get's dark before 7.

We can go to work in the dark, but then enjoy the day when we get off, or kids get out of school.

 

As someone who was on rotating shift between days and nights for a while, hard pass on that. It wrecks you.

 

Going to post this here if anyone interest. Local MTB club is offering any Santa Cruz frame with choice of carbon wheels, I9 hubs, chromag, fox suspension, etc. It's a raffle and all proceeds to Knoxville trails. Last year's winner bike totalled $12k or something

shit. here we go again.

i think this will be the 4th raffle in the last 2 months ive entered. fingers crossed

 

Same. I’m a sucker for these things. I just hope the proceeds actually go to the advertised charity/community/etc.

That’s a generalized statement for most all online raffles. Not specifically this one @honda50r posted.

 

Obviously not this one but I agree with what you're saying. Giveaways and raffles have become saturated fools gold for free marketing, who knows if half those guys ever declare a winner

 

See also: the Decked X Sig Sauer giveaway. Decked was getting harassed for months about it because Sig was taking their sweet time.

 

there was that yeti give away on pink bike last month. sucks i didnt win but they did a little article on the winner. it was a teacher from glenwood, cant get mad about an elementary teacher winning a bike

 

The G-String of the tailgate pads.

 

Part sale coming soon for anyone interested. OneUp dropper, XT 12spd cranks, I9 hydra wheelset. Helm fork already posted.

Looks like it’s the wrong link.

 

Haven’t been getting out nearly as much lately. Moving back and forth between Utah and Colorado (I know, poor me) and teaching online, fires and closures, now DST conspire to kill my ride time.
Got a good one in today, while the gettins good.

 

It’s a link to my fork that’s for sale.

 

Interested in the wheelset for my brother.. what’s the deets?

 

Industry Nine Enduro S Hydra wheelset. 29er - 15x110 front /12x148 rear / new HG driver

Under 200 miles total with no mechanical issues to speak of. Minor rock nicks that are purely aesthetics.

Pics will be posted soon and can be sent via text if requested. Absolutely nothing wrong with them, just going Superboost.
TW price is $600 + shipping/PP fees (if applicable). Pretty firm on the price.

 

Awesome! Do you have an internal rim width?

 

Those that were interested in the Evil bikes, some rumors around the mill... They're not updating any of the 27.5" bikes, and have no plans to make any more. The new Offering might be dropping on the 13th (Friday), so if you're in the market get ready. They WILL sell out in hours, just like the Wrecker did.

Also, going back and forth between the 12sp Shimano and Eagle setups really highlight how much better the Shimano stuff is. I mean Eagle is fine (running GX), and does the job, but every single time I switch I get reminded how much more refined the Shimano (XT) is. Smoother shifts up and down, better feel at the shifter, better chain retention, much less finicky and needs less tuning, better steps between gears... If you need a new drivetrain, don't hesitate. Shimano stuff is killer.

 

30.5

 

Thanks! Basically many bike makers are moving away from 27.5". Which seems a bit odd as they can't make too many nor keep them on the shelves/floor.
