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

It was at this moment he knew...his bike is not OK

 

Looks flexy.

 

Tried that before... doesn't work so well on FS bikes!

 

Yes it does. Just lock out your rear suspension. The bike we did it to was a full squish. A flip of the lever is all you need to do.

 

LOL. When I first saw it I thought it was one of them handcycles or adaptive cycles.

 

You GOTTA add a small still photo of that gif the the plate. Lol

OUCH!! Same thing happened to Sam Pilgrim's wooden bike. Scary for sure.

 

You can tell how quick that happened too cuz his hands are still in position, but his eyes look freshly closed and they're halfway to the ground.

 

Damn. So was he ok?

 

It works better than walking! Leave a little slack in the chain and lock the rear shock. My buddy rode porcupine rim on a SS Firebird.

 

Man, you just descibed my experience with my current Ground Control rear in this Dry/ Loose Cali dirt. The Eliminator upfront would ever so slightly slip, before catching the side knobs, and grip. Awesome feeling, just like I've read it be described as in reviews. I'm gonna move the Eliminator out back, and pick up another Eliminator or Butcher for the front. Keep the GC for hardpack trails I guess.
Not sure how much speed from "rolling resistance" I'll be loosing, but keeping more speed/ confidence thru corners is NOICE.

 

Anyone know how Mammoth and Santas village right now?

 

Probably hot as hell.

 

Idk... 80° aint too bad. It was 78° when I rode up there two days ago. Felt fine.

 

He hee.. That's what she said.


Awesome to hear though, probably will have to get one in the enduro casing now... Thx.

 

Here it is in sequence and the carnage afterwards:

 

Added a hitch to my swingout for my new rack. I'm not quite ready to chop up the rack to bring it in closer and/or lower though...

 

Any of you guys running Ketl shorts? I currently run Fox Ranger shorts but on hot, steamy days they don’t breathe well. The Fox Flexair shorts are f-in pricey, so I’m looking elsewhere. Are the Ketl shorts a good option?

 

Yes. The shit. End of story.

Ok not end of story. I have the V2 shorts. They are my new go to shorts for anything off bike as well.

 

Same as @backcountryj i think I have the v3 and they are awesome. I have 2 pair and may pick up a 3rd since they are on sale right now haha

 

I’m looking at the V2 because of the shorter inseam. Looks like they’re on the list!

edit: looks like they are the list
