Its not tray style, but you should check this out. http://www.northshoreracks.com/index.htm Havent yet installed it, just came in the mail today, but the ease of use and ability to run it offroading as well won me over. It was between the NSR4 and the one up rack.
I love mine. As long as you use them as intended, they work way better.
Something is better than nothing I suppose. I like to use old tubes. quiets everything down nicely.
…How? Its hard to see if it was buckled or not.
Shameless Copper Harbor plug. They just finished phase II of the point trail, thats another 9 miles on top of an already stellar system of trails.
Yeah, its a relic that’s stuck with me from a different life. As long as it doesn’t rattle apart, I’m fine. Maybe I’ll take it off some sweet jumps and get a Subaru after 🙂
I’ve been eyeballing Shirley site. That seems like a winner. Do you know if there is running water nearby that I can purify?
Oh! By the way, I’m ill equipped in the 4WD department. Mustang with a bike rack (far from the best vehicle for bikes). I’m fine with a little rowdy offroading, but the campsite cant be 4WD accessible only.
Pgoldsmith: Thats great! Ill be looking forward to that. I will also be going solo, so if anyone wants to ride with a flatlander sporting a gravity itch, thatd be cool!
Greg: Sounds like fun. I’m no stranger to the snow. Mountains will be new, so I’ll be sure to respect the trails lest I plummet to a rocky doom 🙂
Great thing to consider mongwolf. I have a Sawyer Mini filter that should do the trick. Really handy as I can just attach the sawyer into my hydropacks line.
Ill be roaming around July 1st thru 16th.
Hey rhut! Copper Harbor was amazing. Best bike trip so far. We did end up seeing the Northern Lights too! The entire experience was magical. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction dude! I understand CO is a busy place, but the less folks the better. Ill look into those spots.
Greg! Definitely looking to get intimate with the Monarch Crest trail system. It seems like that would be a good shuttle run. Any other must rides? Ill probably be spending about 10 to 11 days in/near Salida, then its off to Jackson WY for about 4 or 5 days.
Awesome! Thanks for the tips on the northern lights!
That’s horrendous. Burn the bike
I’d have to go with disc brakes. That was the biggest wow factor for me when upgrading from a rigid 80’s Trek. Dropper post is cool, but if I had to choose one or the other, definitely the discs.
I’d have to go with the Commencal Meta AM HT. Several specs starting at $999 to $1999. I decided to pick up the “Race” version for $1599 + about $70 shipping. Bike is specced out well: 160mm Lyrik, NX 1×11 drivetrain, High Roller II’s, and most importantly (for me) the modern geometry. This bike is insanely fun when pointed downhill. They have a site in California so you dont have to worry about import charges.
Ill be there beginning thru mid July.
I say play to your strengths. Pinkbike seems to have all the racing pretty well covered. I go to Pinkbike for the adrenaline, Singletracks for the soul
Nice! How well do you think theyd work with a drop bar bike?
Oh! And how about good camping/hostel spots? The only website Im really aware of is AirBnb
