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

love that color pivot. a buddy had that bike for a while and we called it kermit the bike.

 

Anybody have the new kuat sherpa 2.0? Gonna order one soon for my trip to pisgah from Long Island and just want to get some insight

 

Day 3 new bike,Upward mobility to poppin top upper to upper mobility to raging river to no service to people’s elbow to no service to invictus and back on a fire road cause I’m too lazy to pedal back up.

 

My SR and Norco Torrent...

 

How funny... i remember seeing you when you sent by, as i haven't seen a YT yet.

New trails up there are amazing!

 

I had one and traded it in for the Yakima Dr. Tray. Both great racks, I wanted the adjustability of the Yak. You can move the trays, which allows for tailgate clearance, bike clearance, and better rear camera view.
Look toward the front of this thread, lots of pics and comments of both.

 

Great looking bike! A plus size hardtail is my current N+1 and that Torrent is one the short list.

 

Waiting for my RSD Middlechild frame to get here.

Should be here mid June.

 

How much weight will the tailgate hold? I have a couple M'cycles with one around 450. I've read you need top take off the tailgate?

 

UncleBoone! Awesome bike and just the man I have a question for.

This left had syncros grip has the integrated dropper and twin lock system, so how the hell do you change the grips?

 

You should have received a shim in your with your bike when you bought it. Here is a link to a discussion on this topic on another forum: http://forums.mtbr.com/scott-sports/twinlock-replacing-grips-987849.html
Be very carful to not over tighten the bolts on the twinloc lever when mounting with the shim as the head will break right off. Don't ask me how I know, fortunately I was able to get the tiny bolt out and fixed without any permanent damage.

 

Blue or black?

 

Blue all the way.

 

Yetis should always be that blue. Super hot.

 

No way bro you ride as well?

I have been conquered in all facets.

 

Just finished building one. I’ll try and snap a pic soon.
Ragley BigWig, Hope wheels/hubs, 2.8 high roller/reckon, xt/eagle drivetrain, 140manitou magnum fork.
Long, low, slack.
I was so stoked on the build, my first from the ground up with no help. Looks stellar. But, after a few trail rides, my old ass knees are not feeling it. That shit hurts. Thinking I’ll sell the frame a build a short travel ripper instead. I’m a Devinci fan, so maybe a Marshall.

 

For anyone looking to get into the DH action and want a bike, mine is for sale!
2015 Norco Aurum Carbon 7.2 Large, upgraded. PM me for specs and questions.

 

Looks rowdy man, love the spike wheels myself. I got two rigs, curious why you are selling this beast?

 

Im trying to slim down on my bikes and only keep the essentials. Lol.

 

Waiting for pics.

Curious about the XT/Eagle setup. Did you end up getting a different mech cage like the OneUp Shark cage for it to work? Then again now there is XTR 51T.

I will be building my first bike in a couple of weeks, just waiting for parts to arrive. Ordered Sunrace 11-46 cassette paired with 32T NW chainring. Should cover everything nicely in my area, including snow.
