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

Oh I get what you mean and I was only ribbing you.

Strava, for me, has been working like shit these past two weeks. Some of my rides will not upload at all, or days later or until I go on a second ride. Its hard to tell whats shifting to the subscription based vs. the freeloader version that I am using. I can still see my times from previous rides even though it says its now a subscriber feature, etc.

 

Im a paid subscription but yeah, the tracking has been a flaming pile lately and that hasnt been the case for me until last week.

 

No issues for me. I rode yesterday and saw that it updated my progress on the challenge.

 

The trek challenge is tracking for me, but usually I can’t see my ride info until about an hour after I finish

made a new friend on my ride. He tried to sell me car insurance, but I declined. We are still bros though.

 

Horny toad?

 

I didn’t ask, it did not flirt with me though.

 

If you were gonna carry a few trail beers, how would you do it?

 

Single Speed conversion?

 

definitely the bottom pic. If you’re gonna take the beers, take them all

 

Any suggestions for more trim fitting shorts? Preferably not skinny jeans tight.

No need to link the PB summer kit article, I’ve read it. Seems like POC, Oakley and the Gooch are at the top of the list. Curious to other’s real world feedback.

Potentially worth mentioning, my current shorts are a few pairs of Fox Rangers and TLD Skylines.

 

Prana Mojos. Perfect trim fit short. I must have 9 pairs across every color they offer.

 

Buddy... Please just order the damn shifter you want, and I’m happy to FaceTime/zoom you and help you get it installed yourself. Basic tools is all you need. Plus, you’ll learn to do it yourself.

Low on the BB, near lower shock mount. Pfft.. newbie.

if you found something that works well for you, why not just get another pair?

Aaannnnd... I did a thing today.

 

What I have doesn’t work that well for me. That’s why I’m looking for suggestions.

Congrats! Any reason for the truck swap?

 

4 of us are heading out west for a MTB trip to Utah next week. Do you guys think we’ll have enough room with gear for a 5 day trip? We’re putting all 4 bikes on a hitch rack and we’re staying with buddies there so no camping equipment, etc. Just riding gear, normal clothes, air mattresses, and a small cooler. Any tips? Hoping to fit everything in the bed and close the tonneau. Photo of my truck and two of our bikes.

 

One of my friends was having this issue too - he said he needed to change his profile privacy settings and it started counting after that.

 

I really like Handup shorts. Zippered pockets, drawstring waist, and a great price.

 

I’m currently running ODI pro lock on grips. I like them but they are a little thin for my liking. And I have recently had some issues with hands going numb. I was thinking of switching grips to see if that helps. Was gonna try Ergon GE1 Factory Slim. Thoughts, opinions?

 

I would and I know I can do it myself, but the bike needs to be fully serviced anyways and that’s all covered from buying a bike from them so it’s all just happening at once. This has motivated me to fix my crummy little hardtail to ride lol.
