Bikes and Tundra

The irony is that we used to have a wild turkey that over time became fairly domesticated. He would chase me around whenever i would ride my bicycle. You Sir, have found a way to turn the tables.

 

Has anyone installed a Ride Wrap?
I bought the full coverage but I think it will be insanity trying to install it. Trying to decide decide if I should just cut it up and just use the important bits.
Also, what happens when you remove it 5years down the road? Is it a clean removal or a pile of risudual glue?

 

Shoulda got a Rocky Mountain or Norco and a North Shore Rack.

 

No Rocky Mountain dealer near me and I preferred the Trek over the Norco Sight A2 I rode when comparing.

I've heard a bunch of negative reviews on North Shore racks, and the build quality on the 1Up is far better.

 

I am super torn on this eBike thing. I'm very intrigued and would really love one, but the local bike parks will not allow them on the bike trails because the USFS classifies them as motor vehicles. I cannot afford a lift bike AND an eBike. This predicament makes me very sad.

 

Oh yeah

 

I thought the distinction was made if it has a throttle?

 

You're gonna dig the 1up. as well as the Fuel. I adjusted the depth insertion in the receiver just minimum needed where I can still open the tailgate and it doesn't hit. So far it's the only one that worked. Tried them all.

 

Used it on all my bikes. No glue on them... same as a phone screen protector. It's kind of tedious to install but easy once you get the locations down. Set aside an hour or so, crack a beer, turn on some Stick Figure and use the spray bottle a ton.

 

Awesome, thanks for the info!

 

Glad to hear it!

Any idea if the 1Up works with 12" wheels? It'd be nice to put my daughter's bike on the rack rather than in the truck bed.

 

Picked up my new ride today. I went with ChroMag Dagga flats for pedals.

Damn this bike is fast.

 

I did get some parts upgraded on this rig. Looks good and it’s the funnest thing to ride. I fell in love with biking all over again. I’m having such a blast mixing my past bmx and current mtb skillset into one. I feels like a bmx that fits me.
It didn’t last long though haha. I blew my rear hub up last Friday. The green one is cheap and fun so I will keep it around once a find a rear hub.
I couldn’t resist a good deal on a more stout dj bike. So, I bought a Scott Voltage YZ 0.2 on Sunday. Let the good times continue to roll

Edit- I even took a pic with the Tundra to make it an official thread post

 

First proper ride.

 

New bike day for my son. Just finished putting it together. YT Jeffsy Primus 27.5.

 

First ride out on a new to me Pivot Trail 429, with my son who rides a Norco Sight A2.

 

Bye bye, pineapple hands. Meaty boy grips on these OneUp carbon bars, and zero padded gloves, have helped arm pump big time.

 

I have a problem with bikes.. I bought this Norco Shore 1 yesterday. Such a solid ride. This is exactly what I want out of a bike. A downhill ripper that can peddle a trail when I want to. Wooo bikes!

 

Went to the local trail crews build night last night. We built this bridge in the last pic. This bike is straight beast on descents




I also installed new tires, seat and rotors.

 

Wish I could sell my Polygon T-8. Love the bike but a bad crash in 2022 has me scared to ride it again. At age 70 I can't afford another OTB.

 

Ouch

 

Mountain Goat was one of the bikes I always wanted way back in the 80's. The Whiskeytown Racer was the bomb.

 

Whoa! I didn’t even know that was a thing. Sweet looking ride

 

Been dealing with some injury in my family, my fiance is fighting a bad case of sciatica and can't sit in a saddle. I think this DH season is a no-go unfortunately. Sucks because the lift service parks just opened. Hoping for a recovery prior to ski season.

 

Dang, I hope a proper recovery is under way for yall

 

Hello from Colorado! Love mountain biking

 

I got custom bronze decals made. Added a bottle cage and swapped for my brown seat. More to come

 

Excited to try to learn more but, just really started getting into trail riding (not much in TX) but I am exploring. I have a 2014 Overdrive Comp Diamonback and looking to upgrade to a hard trail bike. Currently between an e-bike vs a non e-bike. I have read (what I feel like is a lot) about the new tech and evolution of the trail bike and some of you state missing the older stuff. If I may ask, how big a difference is there between lets say an S-Works Turbo Levo SL and Status 140 (Both Specialized). I get its an e-bike so there is that, but with the new cassettes, will I find a bigger difference going from a 3x8 to a 1x12 than you would from lets say a 1x12 to an e-bike? Trying to take the most in considering these bikes are as expensive as a beater 1st gen tundra.
