DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

I think i need to get a new front tire, I think i have a torn it the rubber somewhere that keeps putting small holes in my new tubes. I located the hole and tried to find the thorn from where the tube was and i can not find it. I patched the small hole and the next day its sitting on the front rim again....

 

u have a gixxer?

 

Go Tubeless! You'll never have that problem.

 

My issue is that when i climb I the front wheel keeps wanting to come off the ground, yet if I lean forward to much, my rear wheel does not get enough traction.

Side note: A friend that lives in DFW that has rode with @Geremy said he would be down to join us at Grapevine for some trails as well. He is a Jeep owner though...

 

Just comes with more time in the saddle. You'll figure out how to position your weight to get the best of both. What size wheel are you on?

 

Yea, just need to figure out gear and seat position really for uphill climbs. That and keep improving my leg muscles.

I am on a 29"

 

I tried, I dont think i rode it soon enough/ long enough to get a good seal. I can go tubeless with my setup, however its not tubeless specific.

I know where some sweet jumps are!

 

My cheese grater is being taken off this weekend. The plastdip had held me over for 8 months but I found a grill I like for a good price a couple weeks ago! The pro grill is to much for plastic but does look good

 

katie jackson? I almost ran over a snek there, never went back.

 

yeah there are snakes out there. I run into the sometimes during the summer. I have ran into more snakes at grapevine than there though.

Grapevine is better though... larger, more trails, more difficult in places, etc.

 

Anyone need a Pelfreybilt Steel front for $950? its post up in DFW toyota tacoma facebook group

 

Last I checked which was this last week he was keeping it... kid can't make up his mind...

I wanted his rear Pelfreybilt but he let a friend get it...

 

heck if i know

only thing i do know is thats like a $1300+ bumper for $950

 

Yea I know. Not a bad price at all for it!

Still salty I couldn't get his Rear bumper!

 

If it was a third gen I'd be all over that. I bet it sells quick.

 

That's the same way I cut mine.

We can do meet a little later in the day, since it gets Carmel later.

 

Brute Force Fab. Just sayin'

 

Want to stay Pelfrey more than likely...

 

I looked at @Silverspool's and didn't like the way bumper met the lower fender lines. Not a problem if you're going HC, but the standard had a significant gap. I emailed Pelfrey asking if that was normal and the response was that it was. Reasoning was to give a bit of protection to the sheet metal if you came down right on that corner. Valid reason to be sure, but I couldn't get past it ascetically. After doing some research, the Brute Force Fab was the design that matched the contour of the truck the best. Relentless was a fairly close second, but I didn't care for the 'R' cutouts in the corners. I will say I really liked the look of the Pelfrey from the back, but the Brute Force Fab with the flush mount light option instead of pods as I ordered it - looks very similar from that position and doesn't have the gaps.

 

Found this scam today...
