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

Let the interweb record show that my kids bike was run into the garage on top of my wife's car. It doesn't matter who was driving!

 

Beautiful! Where is that top picture taken?

 

Poor kid...

 

Took the bike to Snow Summit Bike Park in Big Bear today. End of the day tally: 28 miles of combined downhill and XC. Rack is a 1Up, partially wrapped in MGM.

 

On our way to Whistler!

Top of the World Trail (7100ft)....5000ft of descending ahead of me.

 

@breckfj...how do you like your following? I've been lusting after that bike ever since they introduced them. I see your Stache hiding back there too love mine

 

Don't have a pic of my MTB or road bike in the truck, but here's a shot with the Aprilia in it.

 

Spot Brand Single Speed Carbon Belt Drive

 

Moto in the back, not sure why but I'm liking the blue/green combo!

 

The Evil has been great! I've had some trouble getting my suspension dialed in but I think I am getting it right now. The seat stay cracked on a very small crash, which was a bummer. Evil was very responsive on getting me a new rear triangle though.

 

Thanks! It's near Brian Head, Utah.

 

Thanks man! I love them both! The Following has been a great bike. Not the stiffest and I managed to crack the seat stay. That said, it's super fun. Very fast, nimble beast! Takes massive rides/climbs well but can rip tech and jumps at the bike park also.

Glad to see a fellow Stache rider on here!

 

This was taken during my ride this morning.

 

Spent the day at Alsea Falls just outside of Monroe, Oregon.

 

What kind of fork mount did you use for your cruisers? just bought the wife a cruiser too but I don't know which mount to use. Tks

 

I have a three Thule 821mounts bolted to the lid of my toolbox. 2 inch bolts, large washers to reduce flex and nylon lock nuts inside the lid and a bead of silicon around the base of the bracket keeps it all watertight.The UWS lid is actually an inch thick.


Not a complete idiot, the racks don't hit the window with the lid full raised.



Thule also makes an adapter for this bracket to use with through axcels. The 821s run about $30 a piece on Amazon. They also make a locking version of the 821 also.

 

I have a 1up rack that has worked well. But what's best for long hauls (e.g. trips of 1,000 miles or greater -- like Chicago to Moab) ... would it be better to put your $5,000 bike in the bed? if so, how does one keep it from getting dinged/sliding around? maybe the best thing to do is break it down fully and reassemble, but that's a lot of work

 

I had two bikes on my Kuat NV going from Chicago to Oregon with no problems. I don't think the 1Up would have any issues either.

 

Tks for all the info. I want to get the front track and mount it to them. Don't know why Toyota left the the front track off of the 3Gen's.

 

Love whistler! I used to live in Seattle i would go up every year for crank worx, did that for about 5 years in a row.
