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

Isn’t that really based on how much you weight? Lol
If my husky self rides anything but LT, I feel like I am just beating up the rest of the bike.
This is a joke..kinda

 

Haha yeah im in memphis, i was trying to buy it to take to northwoods, NW Arkansas, and Windrock. A guy in town has one and rides the local trails with it. It works. Its not really fast, but i dont really care about XC times and flat trail speed like all the local guys to me do. I just ride and pop off of everything I can around here. That dude in town did an XC race on the Capra and was a full 10 min faster than me on my jeffsy, and still faster than over half of the people in the race lol

 

For sure. I podiumed a 100+ mile 12 hour XC race on a Pivot Mach 6. But it was miserable

 

Cause I was/am broke. One bike for everything

 

N-1 haha

 

No “Case of the Monday’s” here.

 

How do you like it so far out there? GF and I have it pinned for a vacation, and judging by what we hear/read, its somewhere we want to live when were ready to make the jump to the West Coast

 

Anyone have the new Yakima Hangover hitch rack yet? My question is on a 3rd gen, when you have the bikes lowered, are you able to drop your tailgate down completely or does it hit the rack making it tough to get into the back of your truck? I contacted Yakima and the customer support was very poor. Their answer was that it depends on the truck and they don't have specs to answer that questions for all types of trucks. (Yet the website shows it on a toyota tacoma 3rd gen) I was surprised at the poor customer service, usually yakima is top notch in my opinion.

 

@backcountryj i bet you know the answer to this

 

We love it in Bend. My wife and I actually lived in NJ for 10+ years

Have only explored Phils so far since my wife and I are new to MTB. She is going to an MTD+B clinic next weekend which i am hoping will step up her MTB game and speed up our trail adventure in Central Oregon!

 

We loved Jackson, WY. Got too expensive to live there full time and the Winters are longer there. In Bend, its a great size mountain town with a very desirable climate (high desert, so not a lot of rain)

 

Its a great area! We looked at Bozeman, Fort Collins, Louisville, CO, Ivins, UT, before moving to Bend. Got a very laid back feel, something outdoor to do year round (skiing, paddle board, Kayaking, surfing, MTB)! Did I mention the folks hear are super nice! Lived in NJ for +10 Years glad we made it out "West".

 

Hey if anyone knows or sees a Fox DHX2 for sale in the 200x57 (7.785x2.25) size range will you give me a shout?

 

One for sale on Pinkbike currently. Not very often do they come up for sale in that size.

Haha. While my rack research was extensive, it was limited to hitch tray racks only.

 

I messaged him and got no response earlier. looks like the spring is too light for me. The fox online calculator says I need a 500 lb spring

 

This is what it spit out for me. I mean I guess 450 could work....

 

Any interest in a Push 11-6? I'm contemplating selling my Evil Insurgent and selling the Push separate. What shock do you have now?
