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

Having wrecked my bike when I was in grade school, having road rash for two weeks, and major brain trauma with no recollection of what happened, I'd suggested one with a chin protection

 

It’ll buff out

 

Oh, I know the general protocol. Just the name is funny since its a little out there.

 

That's a weird comment and distracting from the fact that discoverable meta data about about how fast and where people ride has directly contributed to anti bicycle legislation. It's a fucked up and unintended consequence to it.

I maintain. Keep it private.

 

True. I’ve never seen blackberry before either.

 

Check on line like PB&J on FB or theproscloset.com

 

It's been almost 15 years since that accident and you could never tell that I had all those road rash. But I have no idea what happened that day besides what people told me

 

Not sure if that's sarcasm or not? lol.

I haven't built any of my own trails, but I do go out and maintain those hidden ones. In my area there's lots of built-by-the-city trails to keep the masses busy, but there's lots of trails not on Strava, Trailsforks or the like. Since they are more... natural.. they need some regular maintenance to clear trees, fix ruts, etc. Most of these trails you have to walk your bike in to avoid making them easy to spot. But man are they fun, and a little scary. Being spring, there's lots of that kind of work to be done right now. It's crazy how fast one winter makes a trail almost disappear.

 

i run ATAC on all 4 of my bikes. i love them. the CF ones are pricey so only have those one 1 bike, the lower price point ones are plastic but still very good.

 

that looks sick!

 

I highly recommend Bell after a very serious bike accident and no brain damage. Bell did wonders!

 

Got that link, yo?

 

One of the best places to look is https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/

 

Loving the sticker bomb look!

 

The only thing that really kept me away from the ATAC is what looks like a poor design for clearing mud when clipping in. That big housing/body under the cleat retaining clips just looks like it would pack up pretty quickly. It's one of the reasons I stay with the Shimano XT. All metal body, spindles, and retaining clips really cuts through even the thick/gnarly and sticky red clay we have in the Southeast... man, when that stuff gets wet, it's like drywall spackle.

 

I use a Sixsixone Evo Am with mips. Love the helmet. Looks great and fits very well.

yes! That looks so badass!

 

Got about 4 miles into the woods yesterday before encountering a Land Slide sign, the path had caution cables across a little ways down.

 

Did you guy retape rims or used original one? Thanks

 

My AL Jeffsy with the 29er DT Swiss m1900 wheelset came pre taped. I just threw the tubeless valves in, put some sealant in and aired em up. good to go
