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

lately, never lol. Its honestly been since memorial day weekend that I rode... I'm dying to get out again, I've just been so busy on the weekends.

I ride weekends, try to do early mornings to beat the heat. I'm down to try getting together for a ride sometime. When I get a chance, I'll hit you up! and you hit me up next time you go!

man that’s just what I read in a magazine.

 

not many trails around here with enough features to repeatedly perfect it, but I get the mechanics of it and Pocahontas was a great place to work on those skills.

one of my friends extends his legs when he does a whip too. i think it adds to the extension and makes it look a little cooler.

normally when im in the air, i keep my knees bent. not when i try to whip, i extend them a bit at the highest point then bring the bike back/bend my knees again. im on flats btw.

prob not the professional way to do it, but it makes it easier for me

 

I had that rack years ago. It's fine, definitely holds bikes in a safe and secure way. The rack is also relatively stable for 2 bikes or less. However, it is a PITA if you ever want to put bikes of different sizes. Adjusting those wheel trays SUUUUCCCCKKKS.

 

I wish there were more American names doing well in UCI, I don’t follow it closely, just watch videos when bored. Dakota Norton has been doing really well lately. I was hoping Neko would be doing well, but seems he can’t put it together, but I also don’t know if he’s a top 10 guy anyways. Just pulling for those east coast guys.

Yeah I’m always pulling for Neko but other than that chainless run he had a few years ago he has been struggling at the international level

 

As long as you aren't getting too pitted you should be good to go.. I would not recommend going through any whoop sections at speed with bike on the tailgate.

If you strap it down only on the tailgate pad... often bikes will tip over a little bit if you take a turn too quick. No big deal really but it annoyed me so I started using the bed mount cleat with a soft tie.

 

Yeah need to dial them in first. Adjusting them with bikes on is not a thing. It's just us two so no need to change settings. The thread on the bolt is a very strange 1/2-12. No one has one so I ordered the locking one from Swagman.

Nice ride this AM.

 

Me wants it…

 

Me boughts it, new bike day!

 

3/4 of the thread has chameleons.

 

We all blend in.



get it?



I’ll see myself out…

 

That thing looks rad!

 

Thanks! I’m excited about it! It is so light weight…

 

Yeah. I basically gave up on tailgate pads. Tried a bunch of them... The bike was a lot more stable on my gen 2, but the lip on the gen 3 tailgate seems to be the main culprit. So I mostly reserve the tailgate pad for short hops or shuttling.

So I helped make the WheelDeal from @TMCmakes and this is my setup now.

 

I laughed out loud at this

 

That makes 2 of us, and I’m the one that said it. We can be embarrassed together.

 

The POS pin is 1/2"-12TPI BWS. NOT standard 13TPI coarse. Ordered their locking pin. Damn Tacoma fat receiver.
