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

YO, nice work dude

 

congrats @Bannerman !!!

 

yo congratulations !

 

It’s already gotten expensive, her old 4Runner was 17 years old so I upgraded her.

 

yoooo, that's what's up! Congratulations!

 

congrats man! Now to raise a little Grom Shredder!

 

The Mazzas have finally landed! #VittoriaPosse

 

Yessir!

did you say you went dual mazza because another wasn’t in stock?

 

Yeah, No one has the Martello in stock in 29x2.6. Jenson has a 365 day return policy, so since my bike wont be built up till prob March at this rate, then if it does go in stock, I can swap over a Martello in the back.

 

Very nice. You’ll like em. I’ve still only got one ride on mine but man they were a world of difference. I only came from specialized tires, not maxxis, so maybe not so much for you. But at least they look badass

 

I really liked the tires on my Stumpy. I think it was the Butcher/Purgatory combo? Basically a Spec take on the DHF/DHR2 but easier to find in my local shop (spec dealer).

 

Yeah mine were a butcher/grip combo I think. Not bad, and I didn’t really know what it should feel like since it’s my first real bike and tires lol. But I felt so confident on the new tires. Even in the leaves!!

 

This is me though. 100%

 

I’m behind. Anyways handup gear came in. First pair of MTB gloves and last pair. I just assume wear burlier motocross gloves for same price.

Bikers must be weight weenies.

Nothing against the quality of the glove, I just feel they “may” not withstand the same abuse.

 

They hold up well despite the fabric heft. Last me at leasta. Season if not two no sweat

 

I mean a bike glove doesn't need to withstand the same abuse as a motocross glove. I have a pair of handup gloves that I've used pretty regularly for about a year, and they've "held-up" (see what I did there? heh...) very well.

 

I mean, maybe quit smashing your hands on stuff? Lol.

 

If they last a season or two we are good, again idk what to expect from bike gloves. That was just first impressions based on what I’m used to. However I guess I’m not getting roost thrown at my hands as much so it makes sense they’re super thin.
Time will tell

 

Didn’t you get the summer edition space gloves? Or did they make them into a standard too?

 

probably summer, would explain some of the lightness. honestly I just got what was in stock that would fit these lil hands.
