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

Evil Insurgent

 

Same bike but with an 11-6 (I switch back and forth between air and coil rear shocks). The Pike in the front has a Push ACS3 coil conversion.

 

My other Insurgent. Lyrik and X2

 

The Calling (my Georgia bike).

 

that thing is a beut!

 

Finally a hard tail! Looking at all those squishies makes one soft. Why do they need all that stuff under their butts? Just go out and ride. Got plans to get a procaliber in the fall. How does the 'stache ride?

 

Haven’t had the chance to get out yet. I do need to dial in the fork though. Sag and preload is a bit light

 

Do you have a pointer to the post of what you did here? I ordered the oem rack and was wondering about doing something on top like this.

 

Dang man, you've got a stable!

 

Speaking of hardtails, half the time when I'm in the ATL, I'm on this bike. Sycip steel hardtail SS.

 

I love this bike.

 

Nice! What part of WI are you in? I went to MU in MKE in the 90's and used to ride Kettle Morraine (sp?) often. Last couple of summers I've driven home to the U.P. to ride Copper Harbor and Marquette. Great dirt.

 

I’m military so I just arrived in TX from Maryland. But I’m originally from Horicon, about 40 min south of Fond du Lac. I went to school at UW-M for a while as well.

 

Went for the first ride of the season. Our trails are still covered in snow, so we just rode an urban loop. These pics are at the university below my house.

 

Heck yes! That is awesome.

 

I live next to one of the Utah universities and whenever it is rainy or too dark to ride, I just go hit up campus. Do my best Taxco DH impersonation. Not dirt but surprisingly fun.

also: Its a good day to be a tacoma biker!

 

I built it off this post.

Heck yes, one of my favorite trails!

 

Nice Score! You'll have to report back on those hand up gloves I've been eyeing a pair or two.. And yes I love urban rides, really helps build up those technical skills when messing around on stairs and shit.

 

My current quest is working on borderline trials-y stuff. Getting up over big ledges, super slow drops, etc. Still trying to master the bunnyhop. I can do it the "British" way, but not the "American" way.

The gloves fit true to size, and are quite comfortable when I tried them on. They have elastic cuffs, so it should avoid the eventual downfall of my beloved Fox Rangers where the velcro is clapped out, so techy riding causes my gloves to come undone.

Plus the fox seams are exploding all over the place, but I can't give em up. After 2 seasons, they are like a part of me. Sweat, snot, a fair amount of blood, and maybe a tear or two are all ingrained deeply in its fabric literally and metaphorically.

Plus side is that my flamingo gloves match my go to riding tank, which is the only reason I got that pattern.
