Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

Picked up my 2015 Banshee Rune a couple weeks ago.

 

Just picked up a Transition Patrol as the Giant wasn't fitting me correct, excited to go ride

 

Anyone have the Dakine tailgate pad with the Velcro straps to hold the bikes down? Do you like it? Does it have enough coverage for the tailgate?

I bought the Raceface pad on Dec. 31st from Jenson and they said it would be back in stock on Jan. 8th. After telling me all week "oh, it should be here tomorrow," they just now tell me that it won't be back in stock until Feb. 19th.

 

I had one for my full size and loved it! Didn't get on for my Tacoma because being I have a sport with the painted bumper, I didn't want the tires rubbing against it.

 

Was going to ask a similar question.... I have been looking for a rack or a tailgate pad for my Tacoma and wondering what everyone was using and what they would recommend or what to away from.

 

I love my Thule Insta-gater. I have 3 now. They work great and are super is to put in and take out without having anything mounted to the truck.

The Dakine one is fine and works well, however I am really liking the new EVOC pad a whole lot!

 

I currently use a Kuat fork holder thing and a bed rack thing from one of the vendors here. It works but it gets old after a while.

Do you have the EVOC?

 

1 up racks are easy to use and offroad rated. Love mine.

 

I don't have that kind of money for a fancy rack. Plus, I need to carry at least three bikes at a time.

 

I would just use a bed pad. or make a pvc or wood rack and just use the bed extender. I use my yakima crash pad or kuat NV to transport my bikes

 

I understand that. I saved up and it was totally worth the money. You can add the adapter and carry up to 4 bikes

 

Anybody else going to this? Might be cool to meet up at the finish and drown our pain in beers!

 

That sounds tough its 3 days?

 

That one is 1 day. There is also a Stage Race of the same course broke up into 3 days, held about 3 weeks prior.

 

Oh I see. Where is it held at? Just got to work haven't looked it up yet

 

It's in Leadville, CO.

Wow that some serious cross country shit!!
Looks fun though. I don't have a cross country bike.
