You scoop the last ones?

 

Not the last ones, it still shown in stock when I got my set.

 

Gotcha, thanks. I can’t use them, I don’t have the track. I have the Hot Rod and have it mounted to plywood in the bed.

 

Was finally able to connect with Dusty. Seems for whatever reason my request for quote was lost. He's going to build up a set of ex511s with Hydras so I'm pretty stoked. Nice guy! By the time those wheels arrive I should have everything I need for this build.

 

Fat bike riders. Is there a reason to actually go with 26" wheels vs. 27.5"? Trying to narrow down my search and that seems to be about the only open question I have. I know there are a lot of other considerations, carbon vs. aluminum vs. steel, driveline components, suspension vs. rigid, etc. Wheel size is the one I can't really get my head around as to why so many manufacturers are still slapping on 26" wheels, makes me wonder if there's a hidden advantage to 26".

 

At least someone on here is out riding today. Enjoy @flipnidaho, just enough rain this morning to knock down the dust and make things tacky.

 

Dang, that’s basically what I’m looking at!

Hybrid is fine, but it’s V brakes, and $$$. 3 out of 4 bikes are short pull, so the V just feels….off. Besides, throwing on discs for rain and then I’d have V posts just hangin’ out.

I’m looking to go cheap, in case it gets nicked. That’s why I’m THINKING the 1220 could be a good route. Got it free, convert it to flat bar etc. But, that’s still work too.

Most likely - shit ‘em all, sell the 1220 without putting more into it. Sell the hybrid and use half of it to build the commuter.

Thanks for the input!

Once I sort my shit out I’ll post in here with what I decide to do. I’m sure y’all are concerned……

 

I like the looks of that. Quite the retro look. I have a NOS Kona Unit 2-9 laying around that I am considering doing something similar with regards to an urban assault bike.

 

Suicide lap with the boys last night...
1200 ft climb to the top of the mtn then some proper chunk on the down...





Bucci sending this " little " drop


Roughly 10-12 ft'r



Headed back toward the trucks but first gotta hit the baby jump lines


Chronies for Sport sodas and food....



Good times

 

ALL good man, no worries.

 

that milkshake looks GOOD as fuck!

 

haha yea it does... he was stoked on it...

 

I can certainly appreciate a good milkshake, not some cheap shit made one by the hands of wackarnolds, wendys and so forth. I love good quality dark choco with two bannanas, hazenuts, my fav fav. Well earned after a good ride.

 

I’ll do some questionable things for a Chic-Fil-A cookies and cream milkshake. Feel like shit afterwards though.

 

In a previous life, I was all about milkshakes.. Now can't have them kinda carbs in my life. #Keto

Sometimes I wonder if milkshakes miss me?

 

they do, I have done many cycles of keto, I just got off my last cycle, dropped 45lbs since sept/21. I really love keto, bacon eggs, cheese, creamcheese, and all the other goodies you can have. so goood. milkshakes do you miss you, they miss your inner emotions as you consume them. please come back. we miss you.

 

haaaaaa yea it's been almost 4 years now. 250 lbs - > 200lb



one milkshake I"ll be back in the streets #my800lblife

 

It was great dirt. And I had BC all to myself today.

 

Had a buddy at work fab a mount for my spare bench mount work stand. It's a bit overkill for my needs, whatever. It makes life on the road a bit easier and that's all that really matters to me.

I recently put the Softopper on, made some transport bags for the frame and wheels, and came up with a pretty decent method for long range transport/storage of my bike. Maybe I'll get photos of that setup posted soon.
