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

Yea, I ended up playing it safe and got what I know I like and works for my area.

It’s a fuel ex carbon frame with a mixed bag of some budget slx drivetrain/brakes and Bontrager cockpit. Assuming everything is as described in the listing and doesn’t need immediate replacing, I’ll throw on a nicer (to my standards) wheelset and ride it as is.

The fork, cockpit, and drivetrain I’ll tweak to my liking as I go or as needed.

Edit: I couldn’t wait on unboxing until I got home from work so I already had my wife FaceTime me and do the honors

 

Awesome -- hopefully next time you're this way I'll meet you out on the trails!

 

Only issue I had with your route suggestion was that weren't any actual hookers on Hooker Creek Trail.

Anyone have any experience with a Tuf Rack?
Searching the interwebs as one has come up locally for $300..


Anyone recognize this truck?

 

That looks cool. Spraypainting it black would be the first thing i would do before anything else. its so yellow!

 

It doesn't fold or anything fancy so you wouldn't be driving around with it unloaded.
It looks bulletproof and no plastic, I could live with the yellow..

From what I've googled it seems they are out of business, but were a DH shuttle fab kind of company.

 

As opposed to the Whorehouse Trail in Ely, NV. Which has a brothel at the bottom.

 

"No no honey, he misspelled it, it's Wholehouse Trail. There's, um, classes on mowing the lawn and doing the dishes at the bottom."

 

It's right next to the She-Shed DH

 

Headed out for another weekend in Pisgah! This time taking my 04, the 15 rides and handles better but I still love driving the first gen.

 

Just one more reason to be jealous of Western riding locations? Great...

 

Hey, you got it pretty good being in NC. A lot of the places that may be in my career's future are back east and far removed from good riding. Boston and BFE, NY to be specific.

 

Boston has some decent riding. Nothing like out west or western VA or NC but it’s not solid. There is the big XC race at Adams Farm in Walpole which is actually some decent riding if you’re nearby.

Definitely need to take up XC skiing or something for the winter though haha.

 

I would rather put my pen through my eye coming from the foot of the Wasatch.

 

Haha not saying its for entertainment, more for fitness because snow doesn’t go away. Fatbike is also an alternative...I just couldn’t get one for $50 like I could an XC ski setup

 

Oh man, I just looked on trailforks and the Tewksbury / Andover area actually does have quite a bit. Look really XC though.

Guess I am gonna need to check myself and realize how spoiled I am here...

 

Anybody need a spare friend bike or great first "good" MTB?

Oh, I love my fat bike. That thing rips all summer long too! You def get a workout on the ups, but the sheer momentum of those dozer tires mean you are UNSTOPPABLE on the DH!

 

Hey, your home trail just popped up in my DirtRag email newsletter.

Windrock Beyond Thunderdome

 

It’s definitely XC but pretty technical trails aren’t far from each other.

There is a place called blue hill that is supposed to be really good, I think they do an enduro there but I never got to ride before I moved. Then the famous kingdom trails in Vermont.
