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

For those trips when one bike isn't enough

 

I've been using this one for a couple years now...no complaints:

$50 Venzo Bicycle Bike 1/4" Driver - Torque Wrench Allen Key Tools Socket Set Kit 2-24Nm - Small Adjustable

https://www.amazon.com/VENZO-Bicycl...e+torque+wrench+allen+key+tool+socket+set+kit

 

paid $175 for this 2 yakima highrollers good condition bike rack all hardware are also included. Now it's time to find a mtb under $1200 budget.

 

I did not find a good deal lol. I orderd through jenson. Paid $264 for a 150mm 2017 performance model. Plus the wolf tooth lever pushed it to about $330. But it should be money well spent.

 

Im pretty sure this is a cannondale thing. Only bikes ive seen ( new bikes ). On the market with the option of a solo fork. Pretty sweet i think they do it to save weight? Someone correct me if im way off here.

 

This is the setup I've been thinking about! I have the Softopper + tailgate pad combo now but have been wondering if it'll still work with a swing out. I usually transport a couple bikes at a time. How do you like it?

 

It's called the cannondale lefty. Great XC/trail forks. They can be adapted to other bikes through aftermarket kits. The racers like em because they are super light. There are pros and cons to them like most other things.

 

Yeah, i think i will spend the extra scratch to pick up a softopper when i do it. I don't like the hump on the bestop. Utah I can stall buying for now, but if i move back to Seattle, that will be mod numero uno.

 

Where at in Seattle? I grew up in Freemont.

 

Grew up in Marysville, Everett and Yakima. My first job out of VT, I lived in Renton then in West Seattle on California.

 

So just a little bit of everywhere... I used to do a bitchen race out of yakima it was a 24 hour desert race on dirtbikes. Its called 24 hours at starvation ridge, in goldendale.

 

Trek Session 9.9 Carbon. The bees knees.

 

Sunday cleanings for both, prepped for next weekends ride.

 

Just installed the rack for mine and my wife's bikes. Getting ready for camping next week.

 

Put a matching set of wide bars on my spare 29er, then loaned it to a friend for an epic weekend of camping and biking. Since I personally have not used it in a while, and its my only remaining 29er, its time to sell.

 

Nice! #26aintdead

I gotta do the same today! Getting ready for Dirt Rag Dirt Fest in PA this weekend. My first time checking the event out and riding the trail system. I hear its a very well made trail network.

Rode 1.5 miles to work... found out I did not need to come in, so rode back home, got water and then went and rode about 12 miles more. Not a bad road ride around my town... going to shoot for 20 miles by the end of the week hopefully.

Wish I had a road bike instead of the mountain bike to ride on the road...

Where did you purchase the TRD 4x4 adventure edition stickers ? super rad.

 

Does your tailgate get stratched up with that thing? I imagine it would rub or flap around a bit.
