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

I don't remember if I posted the 1st picture from a few weeks ago. We shuttled bikes on a DH run in a Toyota Hilux. No tacomas here in brazil! The 2nd picture is a brazilian made buggy that uses Volkswagen beetle as a base. The bike is easily worth more than the car

 

Better yet, let's meet in Santa Cruz. I'll show you the goods

 

can any Thicc Bois in here recommend some MTB pants? been looking around for a pair, tried the AT+ from HandUp, and while they were a really great pair of pants, the legs and butt don't have enough room for my thicc-ness.

looking for something technical, but with a casual enough look that I can wear them around for the day post ride, without looking like a DH-bro all day. (I had high hopes that the AT+'s would work for me, since that's their stated purpose )

 

Can I invite myself ? Been wanting to get up to Santa Cruz.

 

Not nearly as nice as most of the full suspension bikes in this thread, but my Trek Marlin 7 matches my Cement Tacoma. No cool trail pictures yet, so a driveway one will have to do.

 

I was looking for the same and had the exact same experience with the Handup AT+. Mine fit in the waist but through the butt/hips they are almost like a pair of cycling tights. I kept mine to ride in, they are stretchy enough to be comfortable to ride in but probably won't wear them as a regular pair of pants.

Unfortunately, I haven't found anything else.

 

yea that's exactly how it went for me. I ordered the Medium based on their size chart, which I was already suspicious of. Of course it ended up looking and feeling like it was painted on. So I ordered the Large, and though the waistband is even a little loose, the butt and thighs are still too tight, even for casual wear, let alone riding. The stretch was nice, but not enough/still too tight to ride in, I could barely do a quarter squat without it pinching my crotch and upper thighs. I'm pretty bummed, since I had high hopes for them, and then seeing them in person, the material and features were really nice. they would have been perfect for what I want if they fit me.

 

If I can stop breaking my bike I might be able to join too

 

Old pic but we have the same vehicles. Wife rides a Roscoe, so similar bike stable too.

 

Great minds must think alike. My wife loves her CrossTrek more than any vehicle she’s had, and I have to say the same about my Tacoma. Pretty close to the same color in the right lighting as well.

I just bought her a Trek Marlin 6 in a small to try out mountain biking with me. I looked for a Roscoe for myself, but couldn’t decided between a Large or and XL when ordering new. This Marlin 7 popped up semi-locally barely used for a good deal and I jumped on it on partly because of the color. Still need to add a better 1x drivetrain, but added a PNW dropper post and it’s been treating me pretty good so far.

 

Damn mine fit me well, and I use them for both riding and casual. You must be extra thicc.

 

Super cute

 

I did have a tailor tell me when getting a pair of suit pants fitted that I would never have to worry about the old man flat ass..

I can wear the large, they are just snug through the seat. I didn't want to send them back and have to wait on the extra large to ship. Needed something for our 4 days of "cold" weather riding in NE FL.

I've been called "Thicc with 3 C's."

My wife loves it, but shopping for pants can be a pain in my thiccc-ass, as evidenced by this debacle.

 

We might be twins in that department. My buddy I workout with said my ass touches the ground when I squat..

 

I don't have any (internet forum appropriate ) pics of my booty, sorry to disappoint, but if you'd like to see more, you can subscribe to my OF...

yea, that's how i got into this situation. I enjoy powerlifting as much as riding.

 

I went from Marlin 6 to Roscoe 7 and love the Roscoe. The dropper post and wheel/tire size is definitely a difference. Love the bike so far! I’ve had a repetitive issue with the rear derailleur, not sure if it’s a component defect or crash related.

 

I’d love to make the jump to a Roscoe, but locally (within a few hours of me) they sell used for close to new MSRP.

I’m on 29x2.20 tire and will probably go to a 29x3.0 or wider in the future. I just added a PNW dropper post, so if I swap over to a 1x drive train I’ll be as close to a Roscoe as I can get out of my Marlin 7. Minus the better geometry and suspension travel. Maybe one day!

 

what issue you having? i thought my derailer was messed up but it turned out to be the cassette making all the noise. Shamano outsourced their cassettes to china. Once the bike tech replaced the cassette with the real Japanese one, i havent had an issue.
