it's the official mountain bike rig in the shore to sky region. fairly comical how ubiquitous these things are here.

Pisgah in North Carolina was like that too.

They are also a choice vehicle here in the great city of Toronto. TRD Pro Tacomas and 4Runners with snorkels are the only way to roll up to the mall now*.

Jeeps are so yesterday.

Are the fumes getting to your head?

 

[vivisectxi]

nah, ebikes are pretty well accepted in these parts. even those who drive them to the trailhead in said tacos (which is pretty common, alas).

Here it is a Sprinter Van, with the bikes on a hitch rack.

I work with this overlanding bro, who I make fun of for being an overlanding bro. This week he tried rubbing my face in the fact that he went "camping" over the weekend. I laughed my ass off as a few times a year I drive my Golf with 4" of ground clearance past the place he camps to go ride my bike. He did use his roof top tent at the group campsite with perfectly flat smooth places to pitch a normal tent. He got me there.

a T5/T6 van is the mountainbiker's holy chariot here.
Can't really say I care. I no longer drive to ride anymore.
Sometimes I do find myself riding past other cyclists vehicles parked nr trails. It rarely raises a smug smile never mind a laugh.

if i had the coin i‘d be rocking one of those bad boys:

I find it hard to believe there is something out there that doesn't make you angry.

War and any other kind of human abuse do. nothing much else does.

I was simply taking the piss out of your sad one-upmanship story

Why would you put a baby in a coffin? Seems wasteful. A brazier perhaps, that's good eatin' right there.

The rest of the world knows them as Toyota Hilux.

Powered by not-diesel.

Its a small pickup truck that americans buy to pickup ebikes in the woods when the batteries die

Yep that's one!

How fucking short are your legs?

Get fucked.

Oh you weren't talking to me. Carry on then.

Both my Hiluxes were/are diesel. The old one was normally aspirated and did a 0-100 time you could measure with a sundial. Trucks used to overtake me going up hills. I miss that old thing, fucken indestrucible.

What’s wrong is ebikers riding up the park.

New TLD kit surely.

I think there are 4 or 5 tacos in our Squamish townhouse complex, including ours, though it is currently topped up with the remnants of our old kitchen and does a lot more than drive on city streets.

rockshox for having different 30x8mm mounting hardware. found out the hard way today that i got the wrong one. fml

I think you can probably extend that to "all shock hardware". Just scroll down the list of options for Fox:

Fox Shock Mounting Hardware

Mounting hardware kit for rear shocks, most commonly used in Fox shocks like the DHX2 and DHX, and the Marzocchi Bomber CR. Compatible with any brand or model of shock with eyelets with an inner diameter of 15mm and width of 12.7mm (1/2"). Compatible with RockShox shocks, DVO shocks, current...

thelostco.com

I was having a knocking issue with a new frame and figured I'd try new mounting hardware. Measured everything, ordered and the new parts are slightly different sized than what came with the bike. Could we not manage to get down to something like 10 or 20 possible size options?

Would also add suspension QC to the list. Issue with the bike was actually with the Float X shock. From new, the thing was making an awful knocking sound with any quick compression. In fairness, it's been great now that it's been warrantied, but sure seems like a lot of crappy products went out the door.

Speaking of Tacos, I just saw this ad.
“Hey, we are number ONE in electric vehicles! Now go buy this gasser, thanks.”

Oh, and headset / steerer cable routing, as some guy on MTBR found out.

scary shit! He said that the cable housing still looked brand new.

 

[Toshi]

that's a feature

built in steering damper

adjust amount of damping by changing housing brands

Isn't it marketed as an ebike product?

I like to ride a tandem with no other rider

Long chainstays are so trendy. You're the trendiest.

 

[Lelandjt]

The fact that when a DH bike uses 4" of its 8" the seat still gets shredded by the rear wheel. To stop this you need a full length seat post and can only ride seated.

Where's that 29" specific saddle when you need it....

Waiting for Maxxis to market a new 29" DH specific tire to match it, the asswiper.

Old news! 26" Commencal Meta did that as well. Cables installed from the factory. At that time at least the frames did not crack as often, so they had to find another way to screw their customers.

Crabon fibre`. It still doesn't belong in the DH scene.
