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

Our local school could use more women collegiate racers https://ucsccycling.wixsite.com/slugcycling

 

Happy burfday! What pattern did you get on the gloves?

I'm also getting a new rack. Actually buying an Alta Rack rather than just freeloading it again.

 

On a separate note, has anyone run a coil on their Bronson V2? My Fox Float X is in need of service...but maybe time for an upgrade? MRP Raze and Push 11-6 coil rears are calling my name!

 

Thanks man, yea my wife spoiled me. I got this one:

That rack will be sweet! Plus you support a new business that way!

 

I looked at those too. But when you have a flamingo tanktop already...

Yeah, Ali has been good to me, so I figured it was time to throw him a bone. Plus planning a roadtrip to Grand Junction next weekend and Moab mid April, so it'll come in clutch. No more roadtrip tetris with the back of my truck!

 

Doing some urban riding practicing ridding wheelies in circles. My friend forgot to pan with me but I was riding around him...

Hell yea that thing will be rad Like matching pink flamingos...

 

Need to ride hard as a muthafucker with a pattern like that. Time to go FULL STRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVVVVAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I thought the same thing. Coming from yakimas older hold up rack, the dr tray has much more visibility with the back up cam. Love the rack

 

YUP full tilt!

 

I'm digging the lockable fork mounts from Rocky Mounts. Stupid though that Toyota skimped on the header rail for our 3rd gens!

 

Right i just had to order a header rail...idk why the eff they just wouldn’t include it

 

Even Toyota liked the second gens better!

 

Agreed. Cost would be next to nothing for them to add it.

 

she is trying to decide between King University and Union College. we are friends with both coaches and both have great cycling programs. the SECCC is a great organization.

she has only raced the collegiate races for 2 seasons so far as a High School student. she finished 2nd in DH and DS at LMC, 2nd in Super D and 2nd in DS at King and 1st in DH and 2nd in DS at Mars Hill as a freshman in High School 2 years ago. Last year she won the DH at LMC as a Sophomore. She isn't allowed to race the A Women's group as a Junior so she has to race the B women. and most of those girls aren't into DH at all. they are pretty good at Super D because thats more XC oriented.

on another note, is anybody here using these racks in their Taco? I am thinking of making one myself out of wood. just curious the pros and cons? the one I will make will be easily removed. some people just get bent out shape about putting high end bikes in a homemade wood rack.

 

I've seen a few on here with similar. Who cares what others think about the bedrack you choose? I'm sure some do, but I'm just gonna go ride my bike while they bitch... <-- This emoji can manual, and I can't

 

There are plans online for a PVC rack that goes in the bed. I made one for my 01 Taco DC and it worked relatively well. You'll still need to secure the other end of the however (I used straps).

 

yeah with me having the short bed, the rear wheels will actually rest on top of the tailgate(plastic). I will figure out a way to secure them. the wood rack I have planned will be solid for sure, and I think it will work out pretty well. I am just simply tired of having a hitch mount rack behind my truck all the time. it is heavy and bulky and a pain to raise and lower all the time. plus I can't let the bed all the way down with the one I have.

 

nice Bottle Rocket!
