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

Its hard to say, I have a roll up tonneau, and theres room for my road bikes to attach to a fork mount. My first instinct is that it should clear, but I don't know exactly how much space a folded up tri-fold takes.

 

Which roll up do you have?

 

Holy sheet.

 

story of my life. i love this picture

 

What do you guys think of Scotts's new hidden rear shock in the frame? I think its weird and i hate it, The frame looks so smooth though and would be cool to check one out.

They aren't the first to do that, but I think it's the best looking one so far.

The real talking point: Hey bro, I heard you like levers!

 

Yeah, scott's are infamous for their insane number of levers and cables. Meh.

 

That's def the cleanest triple lever setup Ive seen but still.

 

Hard to tell from a photo but if you could actuate all three with the same push/thumb placement, that would make sense. If I raced XC and was breathing through my eyeballs, there is no chance I could correctly use all three independently.

 

The first thing I thought of when I saw the new Spark was how brutal working on that rear shock would be. I'm sure they designed a clever system for servicing though.

 

Bottom is dropper, middle is the lockout and the top is lockout release. They're splayed horizontally a little bit and the top one springs forward when you use the middle one as a quick release. Takes a little practice then its NBD but I'm with you that I'd goof it up super easy in the moment.

 

There's an access panel on the bottom and a side panel for the top bolt. Not that hard to get to.

 

I think its a cool idea and looks like a smooth clean looking frame. 3 Levers too many! haha

 

I think its the truxedo roll up. Got it from autoanything.com a long time ago.

Dropper + lever is a must!

 

I stand corrected! Thats for sure! I go for a quick ride down the block after a wash or before a bike ride and my neighbor always has something to say about it and how far bike tech came since back then. I want one for my gravel bike but I currently have home buying priorities

 

A couple years ago at the top of the Horsethief drop in in CO, this old guy comes riding up to the ledge with an old fully rigid 26er and a sailboat mast of a seatpost. Takes a look at it and right before he goes someone said "maybe you want to lower your seatpost?"

Looks up with a smile and says "nah droppers are for you kids" then just cleaned it like a boss.

 

Love it. Only thing I don’t like is that you can’t access the knobs, but most people set it and forget it.

 

Its just a twist latch on that panel, so you totally could pull over and make adjustments

 

True. Very clean. But oh well. And I think I definitely prefer the levers for lockouts instead of gripshifts...
