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

holy cow... imagine pulling up to the trailhead with that bad boy on your ass.

 

same, but I won't be getting rid of this one. I'll be grabbing a nice hardtail to add to the stable.

good to know, I'm gonna give that a try too. raining cats and dogs here right now so no testing for a few days...

 

I gotta tell you guys... When it comes to pedals, Shimano FTMFW for one reason alone.

Maintenance. All other pedals suck to maintain and the bearings/spindles shit the bed or get nappy and gritty long before the pedal is worn out.

The simplicity and ease with which you regrease the Shimano bearings makes it hard for me to want to run any other pedal. Unthread the spindle, put an inch of bearing grease into the pedal body. Thread the spindle back in, and the cone bearings regrease themselves automagically and you get a perfect setup.

 

Clearly. I still don't get the joke. Can I blame it on not having any coffee yet?

 

He asked about saddles, and I gave a recommendation he didn’t ask for. Jokingly of course.

 

K, but Revgrips are clearly the best grip option out there at a paltry $90+S&H.

Stop being such a diva

 

I like my pnw loam grips, crazy cat lady

 

Also, I'm a dog person

 

They are really nice though.

 

Yeti, POC, Revgrips.... can i schedule an appointment online?

and here you guys got me reading about grips...

 

Whats the biggest tire I can fit on my bike without a lift?

 

Bought a new DH bike that fits me better. Anybody want a cheap 26er for the occasional park days?

New tires, rear wheel, 4 piston brakes/pads, and full fork rebuild.

Looking at you @whitedlite

 

soooo, you're going to post a pic of the old bike and not the new one?

 

With a proper frame chop of the carbon on your left chainstay you can fit a mullet combo. Either that or rub some of this on your frame every 25 hours and you should be ok.

 

Knuckledusters are gone. Still have the other stuff. Thanks for the interest! Just trying to clean out my crap and pay it forward a bit. All remaining is free. Just DM your address if interested.

 

If nothing else it's the only bike of the 4 of us that didn't crash Saturday ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I’m glad you like those pads. Mine are going strong still. I might get golds next time just for the heck of it. I read an article on nsmb about them the other day and they had nice things to say about them too.

 

....Who would you trust more, Mr. Dingle or me?
