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

Most of the new trails they put in by my house (Handcut Hollow) are named after Schoolhouse Rock segments. Interplanet Janet, The Body Machine, My Hero Zero, Conjunction Junction, No More Kings, etc. Funny, the uphill return trail to the hub for the downhill-only trails is "Mother Necessity," LOL.

 

That’s awesome… but it makes my knees hurt seeing the seat height.

 

My brother bought one and built a floor dolly to hold it with bikes at the house. Think I’ll have to get one too with a dolly on casters.

 

I got sent this. No idea how sturdy it is, looks good though. Wish I got today off.

 

Sturdy enough for holding some bikes in the house I reckon. Pretty good use of some scabby old 2x4 rec tube.

 

Did y’all see that specialized laid off 8% of its company? Said some shit like a “repositioning” somethin along those lines

 

I was really worried the Chisel wouldnt sell fast. It was up on pinkbike for less than an hour.

 

Awesome, congrats!
It's all about the price range. Lower cost bikes still sell quick. But if you're selling a higher priced rig (like me ) then you'll likely be waiting. It's hard for people to justify spending lots of cash on something used.

 

Every corporation in the world does shit like this every 10 years or so feels like. Reorganization, realignment, right sizing, etc. Over the next few years they start growing again and then it happens all over again

 

laid off 8% then bought the old pearl izumi building in boulder....

 

yeah.....bad timing and bad announcement timing there.

 

I thought bend was the new boulder, wait I mean boise...

 

Boise is full.

 

I need help with bike computers! Of all of the bike stuff I look at all day, computers aren't one of them. Does anyone know of a good all purpose computer? Of course, there are numerous options out there. I really just need one that I can use with a heart rate monitor, and preferably link in with Trailforks, Strava, and potentially a power meter - if that's a thing.

 

I use the Garmin edge 530. Connects with an HRM, and their "Garmin Connect" also shows me stuff like strava. but it also syncs up with strava and trailforks. also does the power meter. bonus: Garmin has a trailforks app ON the device.

Pretty sure anythign wahoo also does the same stuff but i can't confirm.

 

Link as in upload afterwards or to use either as routing?

 

Same here. I use a Garmin 530. I sort of wish I got the 830 at times for the touch screen but the 530 works well. I use a Garmin watch for the HRM and they pair well together. My Garmin talks to Trailforks but initial setup was a pain. The Garmin app talks to Strava, easy uploads.

 

yeah, the touchscreen would be nice for navigating some of the stuff onscreen. but once you figure it out, it all makes sense. there is a slight learning curve for sure.

 

Full of Californians?

 

Fortunately Santa Fe is pricing even the Californians out... and no one wants to come to Albuquerque
