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

Went for a ride today! Things got... yukky!

 

New FastHouse jerseys, gloves, and fender for me. Thanks Santa/wife. Haha.

 

I dig it!!!

 

Weapon of Choice

 

@STgen3 rusty butcher..... what else do you ride?

Took the new ride out for ride for a buddy on Xmas eve. A tick under 9 miles. Working on set-up. Moving from hardtail to FS.....


Trying to sort out a permanent transport solution, but, for now, i can roll with it.

 

I have a dyna and a iron head

 

Down to just a Dyna myself.

 

Got the same bike with the same Black friday special. My first real MTB. I went with the 29" tires! Sweet bike!

 

What trails you recommend in southern cali? Just got my first MTB so I'm just starting off.

 

Where da pics at!? I'm LOVING this thing so far. Still learning it, but am getting a tiny bit better every day. I've since covered up some of the red with some vinyl I got for super cheap. It started out just to protect some of the paint, but then I ruined even more, LOL.

 

I lived right next door to Aliso Wood Canyon, El Moro, and Laguna Wilderness so I rode those most of the time. I also enjoyed the Whiting Ranch area and the rides off of Ortega Highway occasionally. Enjoy Southern California, the year round riding is one of the things I miss.

 

started new build. i’m shimano for life so build is xtr di2, xt 8010 dual piston brakes, pro di2 tharsis stem, di2 tharsis bars and pro dropper/saddle. dvo suspension, xt hubs w/ ddt swiss spokes on light bike carbon hoops.

 

I got my hands on a demo Trust fork to test out. It should be interesting on the trail today...

 

Freakin sweet man! I really want to ride one of these. Always been in the camp that telescopic forks for MTB are just a bad design that the industry has nearly perfected (maybe get a little lighter, but cant change the geo effects of going through travel and inherent stiction).

On a similar note... I really want to test out the StructureCycles bike: https://structure.bike/

 

Pretty nice ride man, my girl rocks a trigger and the tech on it is pretty cool with the remote lockout and stuff.

 

Yeah cannondale really stepped it up that last few years. I think the merger with GT really benefits the r and d. The Jekyll is by far the best bike I’ve rode.

 

Damn I had no idea they merged with GT? I bet their funding has gotten much bigger then.

 

Had a nasty OTB yesterday. Hit an air bubble in my rear brake and had no pressure at all coming off a big gap. I hit the berm in a straight line like a jump and and ended up sailing over the bars and a tree stopped me. Flats destroyed my shin and landed directly on my head. I'm sore as hell today
