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

Well tighten back up accordingly and check again.

 

Just tightened it to spec. No noise so I may be in the clear.... for now. Its weird they would have it that way because the bolt faces are at the exact same angle and both are smooth surfaces. I must have skipped that day in physics.

 

The never ending bike hauling setup testing.

 

I'm a sucker for good cnc machining.

how to avoid welds on aluminum. Also wow, must be expensive.

edit: nevermind, front triangle is welded.

 

Front triangle is bolted and epoxied together if "bonded" is the term they're using. No visible weld seams between the halves.

 

Do yourself a favor and ignore leader boards. I occasionally make one and I’m stoked. But sometimes they are so ridiculously stacked, you know somethings up. I just learned that some people get software that ups their time. I don’t know wtf is wrong with people. Who gives that big of a shit?

I have a good friend that rides with him a bunch. He and Mitch are so crazy to watch on a bike. They see terrain totally different than we do.
I mean, you see that in skiing and snowboarding too. Some people are just super talented. It’s so cool to watch.

Ugh.... That shit gets me. That’s why I Love Hope shit. So sexy. Still don’t get why they made a carbon bike instead of something like this. They sure have what they need...

 

Lololololololololololololololololololololololol

 

That is sweet, I’m amazed it took this long to go down the CNC trail. That suspension design is intriguing as well. It has a dog bone similar to the first gen GT idrive system.

 

I have your solution. Add on a Yakima Top Loader to your existing bed rack. Easy on and off loading with the wheel still mounted to the bike.

 

Yeah, I saw that post and was instantly intrigued. It is definitely very well machined and VERY pretty bike. the suspension is interesting as well. would be interested tos ee reviews and see how it rides.

 

Just got done riding some epic trails in Colorado and Utah. I only wish I had been able to bring my own bike and the Taco. Instead I had some pretty sweet rentals, but had to settle for a Nissan Frontier :/

 

Wasatch and the west slope is horrible, tell your friends.

 

Yeah, Salida and Snowmass suck too!

 

The whole state sucks. It’s full too, one in one out with people moving here. Waiting at the border to get in can take months.

 

Honestly, I'm beginning to think the aesthetics are not worth the pain.

 

Chipping away at the GF to make the move to somewhere in mountain time.

 

Welp, my fancy new carbon wheels arrived yesterday. They don't look like they're gonna hold up to mountain biking though!


I reached out to Hunt and they actually realized they sent me the wrong set immediately. Mine are due to arrive today and this set of aero road wheels belong to somebody in NY. Excited for new wheel day though (assuming packing #2 is correct)!

 

I was chuckling and trying to get my head around those until I read the caption below the picture!

 

LOL
Oops, sorry, I’m just amazed at some of the mistakes that happen via shipping. Especially in today’s technologically advanced world with scanning bar codes and such.
