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

Who gets it?

I know everyone that rides love it!

 

LOL, Again in the process of maintenance and fitting a new/old fork and spacers would go below to determine many were needed when the top cap was tightened down. It's in the first step of checking a fit. Note no break levers on it, no dropper lever, nothing but tightened down to keep the fork from falling off while it's travel is checked blah blah blah blah.

But yes, if the fork works I expect it will have two spacers below and one above after the fork is cut after it is determined to work with the bike.

 

Wave 3. 8:15.

 

BRUH, I just scored this felt f70 in absolutely tip top condition for a killer price. Light af too. Needs a new back tire. Gonna ride this baby till the wheels fall off. Anyone recommend going tubeless ? As for the ELY Nevada race. I might have to bow out. Elbow surgery is happening very soon.

 

Dam nice job That's a big bike you must be a big guy.

 

Yeah I'm fluffy, THICCC. nah I'm 6 foot 260.

 

a friend of mine just got one of these, seems very interesting, I don't have a gravel bike but this is intriguing ...

Nice ti bike

 

I have heard that ARB compressora can work. I use the airshot which is essentially a can with a tube to connect to your valve to blast it with air. :/

 

Nice.

I'll never not recommend tubeless but it's less important, I think, with narrower tires.

Road tibledd can be a bit tougher to set up as well.

My road bike is set up on 30s and tubeless most of the time but I usually race on 28s with latex tubes.

 

That's the easiest way to go. Fill the can, connect to your tire and blast it.

 

My ARB single can do it, unless you have a particularly feisty tire/rim combo. I already had a track pump and this, so I didn't get an airshot type pump.

Most importantly, people look at you like some sorta space wizard when you pull an air compressor hose out of your truck at a trailhead and fix a bead

 

Got some new rubber on this morning, minor adjustments, bike is solid. Did a 33 miler today. Really windy, high of 77 . Good Friday ride.

 

As one would justly deserve!

 

+1 for the Airshot (check Amazon). Soapy water always helps too

 

Thank You! I could not figure out why my make shift

Yep, it's a keeper for sure!

 

Time for the annual seal service for the 36. While I wait for the parts, I figured it was a good time to get the backup bike up and running. The backup bike had a creak under power and come to find, the plastic preload collar decided to crack. It also needed a new AXS rear derailleur (the old AXS RD bricked but SRAM replaced it with no questions asked) and an AXS Reverb burp, and a quick burn off some brake pad contamination.

 

Not bike related, not Taco related, but DAMN... I give construction crews shit for taking their time, but this is amazing to watch.

Nice! I'm in the same process right now with my Wrecker. It's completely torn apart. Checking and repacking all bearings, sending in fork/shock to Push, peeled and reinstalling Ridewrap, new frame stickers, brake bleed, caliper rebuild, clean and retape wheels, re-tension true wheels, new handlebar, new grips... Full rebuild in place of a new bike.
I was sooooo close to pulling the trigger on a Dreadnaught or Spire. In the end I realized I still really love the Wrecker, so I'm going to make it feel new again.

 

I enjoy bikes w/throttles more than pedals (unless there is more than one grandkid present)
