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

Took a spill today. Will be wearing knee pads from here on out.
Anyone ever hit their nuts so hard they throw up? I can now say I have

 

Finally upgraded to a platform rack, pretty happy with it.

 

Hope she was worth it.

 

Dang where did you take a spill at?

My buddy just got kidney stones and passing them made him puke. Not the same but close enough.

 

Caught a pedal before the second switch back down Hannah Montana in red rocks. Pedal spindle is broken now too, oops

 

Anyone here ride a canyon grail in s, xs, or xxs? Are you happy with the size? How tall are you?

Canyon recommends i get an xxs, I know im small, but am thinking of going xs. Thanks!!

 

Last load in. We are officially Utah residents again! Now to get all that crap out of the trucks and into the house and slowly take things out of boxes.

 

Thats a high speed section and has the most jagged in the park so I feel for you.

I just finished packing our PODs yesterday and now crazy cleaning begins. I cannot wait to be at your stage of the move...unpacking. I was going to do a Uhaul but it was only $1k cheaper than the PODs and I'm sure i would have closed that gap after putting fuel in the biggest truck they have from CO to AL.

I’ve only been to CW, how does Oak and Raccoon Mt compare?

I think those are trails?

 

I have just a few more days!

 

Can’t answer your question, but yes those are trails. I think oak mtn is @jjones.yota or maybe @whitedlite home trail. I wanna say raccoon mtn is near Chattanooga TN.

 

I didn’t realize his post was about AL. Yes oak mtn is in bham and where @whitedlite rides/lives. Raccoon is in Tennessee like you said.

I assume CW meant coldwater? I still haven’t ridden there but have heard great things.

local to myself and @levie125 soon is Monte Sano State Park which I’ve been told is the most technical trails in the state. Everyone says if you can ride Monte sano you can ride anywhere. The more I venture out, the more I agree haha.

Pretty nice bike at that price point. Does anyone else find it odd they have their own website for the 951 bikes separate from their normal Intense site? Or is it because they teamed up with another company to make these or something?

 

I've got the same rack. No issues in the two years I've had it. I have yet to get the get the cable locks to install but will some day.

 

Yeah sorry, I blame it on my FL education.

I’ve got a buddy that talks about Coldwater and Oak mountain all the time, and he lumps Raccoon Mt in with it, so I had it in my head they were all relatively close. I guess Raccoon isn’t too far.

Coldwater was fun when I went but that was years ago when it was really hyped up.

I’ll have to research Monte Sano.

 

Scored another mid-school MTB part… grabbed a set of 26” SPIN carbon fiber wheels in near mint condition. Cost me a small fortune, but well worth every penny! Piece by piece she is coming together…

 

Loving the RaceFace tailgate pad!

 

Monte sano isn’t worth the trip unless it’s on your way, in my opinion. It’s a work for it place for sure. But it’s fun to have locally. Just not great for a beginner…which I am haha

 

backcountry pad fits great and works with camera and tailgate
