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

Yep. I've sold a few bikes on Pink Bike then shipped through BikeFlights. The hardest part was getting the bike box. Some shops want to charge, like $40, for the box. Lame.

 

As stated above. Use PayPal, zero risk. Be sure you get the fees covered by the buyer.
Make sure you have an adequately sized box on hand before you nail in final sale price (assuming you are having the buyer cover).
I always just go by the LBS and grab some random box that will fit to ship bikes/frames/parts, but I have a good relationship with them and they’re happy to help.

Its honestly silly for any shop to charge for just a box as I would think most shops are just trashing or recycling them anyway.

 

I did. It’s this guy, charge brand.

 

Had a friend coming in next weekend for a 4 day camp/ride trip. Couple weeks back had to rebuild my suspension in a pinch and was able to find someone to do it other than fox. I get the shock back and the guy at my bike shop puts it on and apparently he lost the spacer and didn't say anything. One ride on it and the bearing explodes. The bolt started to unthread and goes off-angle and digs into the triangle linkage. Keeps unthreading and cracks the triangle. Bike shop said it's all under warranty but still annoying that they technically caused it. Found out my aluminum frame Giant Trance 2 has a carbon linkage piece as well, who knew. So now I'm renting a bike or the next weekend. Sedona/Flagstaff forecast changed and now its supposed to get down into low teens at night. Not an issue for some of you but I don't have super cold weather friendly camping gear/riding gear. I'll now be without my bike for most likely 6 ish weeks during prime Arizona riding season. And to think I was debating selling it and buying a new to me used bike couple weeks ago before I rebuilt suspension. Was looking at carbon 150/140 29ers like sentinel, offering. Now I've got some thinking to do since my bike will essentially be fresh other than a small dent in the rear wheel, but it doesn't leak air at all so its fine.

 

looks fine to me ...almost realistic

 

Was watching FPV drone videos and came across this. This video is pretty fucking epic. Got me so amped up to get back on the bike

i know that truck, and that bike! One of these days we need to get together for a ride. both bike, and truck look good!

 

Went to the pumptrack and dirt jumps yesterday!

 

oh dude. that sucks. that's a nightmare!

 

man I wish we had a park like that here....

 

It's been amazing! The only downside is all the little kids on bikes and scooters using the larger pumptrack instead of the smaller one built for them

 

sounds like the skatepark when I ride BMX...I tri to go in off times, and there is still always 1 or 2 scooter kids in the way

 

Everyone and their horse was on Antelope Island today. Also, so far,.I'm really, really liking these Maxxis AT811s

Road bike, mountain bike, gravel bike all loaded up for a cross country tour. Delaware to Colorado. This stop here was a lovely gem in Kansas.

 

I don't know if "lovely" and "kansas" have ever been used In the same sentence before.

 

how was it sleeping on that gravel?

 

Hah! I was going to go there but decided to go somewhere else today. Got blasted by some strong winds on the downhill. :/

 

Where did you go? Looking for somewhere to ride today.

 

Took this photo near top of mountain this morning during a pee break from the grind and me being dumb screwed up the whole thing.

 

1000% a dude invented this
