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

Anyone know anything about DIY carbon wheels?

 

Like lacing up some hoops? or are they mold your own at home kits out now?

 

I think it’s a brand.
Bike I was looking at had them on it. Never heard of em

 

biiiiiig one today...

 

.8 is the max spacer for a 230x60 dpx2. I would recheck you're @ 30% sag (18mm) If you're still clunking it you might need to re-tune.

 

Took the Cutthroat out for an adventure today - saw some tarmac, single track and gravel. Fun ride but man does a rigid on single track give you a beating

 

Re tuned as in opened up and changed? As far as I know all I’ve got is rebound and the 3 compression settings.

also where’d you find the info for max volume spacer? I found it for 2020 dpx2 but not 21

 

I bought a couple about 2 yrs ago, nice price so I thought why not. I had my LBS lace them up to some I9 HYDRAS (the aluminum rims that came from I9 were getting bad with spokes
nipple pulling thru the rim) I rode them on my hardtail for about a year, (I'm 215) then sold the bike to a guy I know who is 275 and is still riding the bike on a regular basis.

Definitely not the lightest carbon hoop but pretty durable IMO. Side note, they were only 28 hole so quite durable.

 

That's awesome. My sister also coincidentally and not on purpose recently bought an orange Pro addition that matches her and her husbands Niners.





And also a coincidence they have a couple of other toys that match.

 

Wolftooth cage, lots of adjustments on it. Also running with the pump mount.
Went Ti, cause I'm silly.

Wreckoning? My good buddy bought mine and loves it.
He was determined he wanted a trail bike, got himself a Stumpy EVO. After a month he realized he didn't get along with it, felt "too mushy". He bought my Wreckoning V3, fitted it with an air shock and some lighter tires and loves it. Said it feels lively like a trail bike, but has the travel reserves when he wants them.

 

That cage is my favorite. I’ve got it on both my Ripley and spire. Surprisingly good at holding bottles without issue

 

Easy to add tension also since it’s metal.

Anyone have a short capsule for a Oneup 70cc pump? Can’t find mine and wanting to add the plug and bacon to it in a better way. Currently bacon is at the bottom and not easy to fish out.

 

RZR on tracks is legit, even if it is stuck.
No snow to play in down south. Team bLu cRu here.

 

It was only stuck because the 4-wheel drive switch didn’t engage and we didn’t know about it. After some pushing we were about to use the winch when I realized the front tracks weren’t working. Flipped the switch and it popped right out. Doh!

This is at their cabin in Wyoming. You need a rig like this to make it up the last 6 miles in the winter.

 

Fanatik in B-ham has finally a large Spur frame in stock. Really tempted to pick it up, but really thinking of swapping my truck for something newer before too long and $3600 otd is a chunk of change.

 

What vehicle?

 

frame only?

 

DO IT! DO IT! Of course I'm kidding, you gotta do what's best for you.

Just picked one up about a month ago and after some tinkering I got it dialed and man is it an awesome bike! Not missing the STUMPY at all, this thing is everything you read about. Such a fun trail bike for only being 120mm.

 

The tiny little pill-shaped thing that fits inside the slightly-larger pill-shaped thing? Lol then yes I have a few. Message me your address and I'll send them to you

 

IDK, I waffle back and forth between a 3rd gen DCS/LB and a 4Runner. But considering gas is eeking up around $5/gal here in the Seattle area, I've also got an eye on the Rav-4.

And the Ridgeline also is an appealing option

Frame only, and its been something I've been looking at for like a year now. Have had multiple demos at the Transition HQ on it and am in love. Only thing is it's the blue frame color, and I'd really prefer the grey options. I don't mind the blue, but I'm really wanting to hold out for exactly what I want. But considering the unicorn status of Spur frames, I think I might be waiting a long while for one to pop up.
