All things Bikes and Tacos!

For real. Wonder if I can fit CB cleats in a set. Saw a dude riding in them around a local trail system last week.

 

I’ve been lusting over one of those since seeing one at Cohutta in 2015. People want a damn mint for them though... even used.

 

Well worth it...the bike is an absolute blast to ride. Although I am interested in riding that new Specialized Fuse with the adjustable dropouts. Geometry looks pretty good. Might build one w/ the old front suspension fork from this.

lol, thanks

Thanks! Yep...lighter than my gravel bike and probably most people's road bikes This is fully set up...pedals and all.

 

I live here, it's pretty awesome. Moved here from Atlanta 5 years ago, didn't know what to expect but my family loves it. I'm always down to show folks around the place, though I will be out of town the weekend of the 19-20th.

 

That’s wild, definitely lighter than my road bike haha

 

Nice Bantam man. I love mine.

 

SSOD.

 

Last minute Whole Enchilada trip to Moab if anyone’s interested. Sunday 8:30 shuttle from Moab Cyclery. Weather looks perfect, trail is going to be epic.
30ish miles, 2700 up, 9200 down. Every ecosystem in the mountain west, from the tops of the forested LaSals through the canyon beauty of Moab, into town to finish it off with epic burgers and beer at Moab Brewery.

 

Also applicable to mountain biking

 

Not gonna lie. There were moments I felt that way on middle black.

In my defense, it had just rained pretty heavily so traction wasn’t exactly ideal.

 

Night riding at FATS (South Carolina).

 

Needed a way to haul the bikes and keep the bed for cargo while pulling our camper, picked up a used kbvoodoo bed rack. Works really well and no need for any special bike mounts.

 

shiiiiiiittttt. I wish I could do this.

 

anyone wanna ride SKYPARK LAKE ARROWHEAD, CA tomorrow?

 

Can someone identify these rotors? They appear to be road rotors but I want to use them on an MTB. They look so good

 

It appears to be Shimano's XTR RT-MT900 rotors, but with white instead of the normal black

@honda50r

your hubs might not be compatible these are centerlock rotors only. if your (e) rotors have 6 torx screws you can't run these...

 

Ah yeah I'm six bolt. I was more wondering if they could handle mountain bike heat (Assuming it's worse)

 

Dang dude glad you are on the mend! I had a bad wipeout this summer too, going wayyyy too fast on fun fast section of trail with nobody else around, braking too hard in some loose stuff and going otb into a pile of rocks and logs. Rattled me too, was a super close call... has made me chill out a little bit... for now anyway until my ribs stop hurting lol

 

Glad you guys are both okay.

Although I road bike, I had an accident with a car that took me out for over a month. I T-boned a dude that misjudged my speed. I was on a main road (no stop signs or stop lights) and he was at a stop sign to my right, waiting to cross my lane so he can go left and onto this main road.

My GPS said that I was going 22 MPH when we hit. Totaled the bike and did a number on his rear door and quarter panel (and even scratched up his trunk). Thankfully it was a small car, so only my lower body and hands suffered injuries. The rest of me rolled over the trunk and across the road...

About 2 months later, I am back on a new bike!
