Saw this while scrolling through IG is this something that can be adapted to our tailgate?

So, I think I found a solution to this. I'm an independent mechanical engineer, and I am currently consulting for a company that makes off-road gear. I just finished designing a tailgate storage system for a 100 series, and I was able to...

Next up - AC seats for the front seats using OEM parts. Right?

One of the greatest features of our cruisers - the tailgate. My 9yo buddy liking the vantage point and kept me company while I put up halloween decorations last night. Thinking of adding recessed led pin lights on the upper split gate when it’s...

Who was I kidding. Over the weekend the weather turned nice and I made the swap. Again, I’m a firm believer internal cable routing is the worst thing the bike industry has done in the last 40 years. Other then routing the cable housing the set...

It was either the Maxxis or GravelKing's - don't think you can go wrong with either option.

Those look pretty good. I’m a gumwall snob but I need to get over that and just buy black tires haha. The GravelKing SK are on my list too.

Seven Springs to New River in between rain storms.

I fitted a drop hitch accessory to the Pak Mule. It works perfectly for the Original PAK Mule. I also added a soft ride pin. Everything is tight, sturdy, and quiet. I can now lower my tailgate to sit on and access my cargo area while I'm at...

Nice. You went the extra mile and took it out. I sprays silicone grease through that rubber flap and it solved it

Squeaky doors getting some love.

Upgraded fogs on the '01. Just can't decide how obnoxious they are or if I even care.

Expensive (AU$10k +... or more than I want to think about) race bikes... I think I'm about the only one who has mechanical shifting now, and certainly the only one with rim brakes... which (and the fact I'm not competitive) is why I can't be...

I totally agree with most of what’s written there. They keep talking about stack height but when you look at the photos, the bars are almost level with the saddle, and I think that’s what they really mean. Grant Peterson has been saying that for...

Oops … I did it again Early 1984 Fuji Sundance. On top of general deferred maintenance, this is one is going to undergo some significant changes. Haven’t decided on a direction yet but I have a couple ideas. I couldn’t say no to the color and...

I put these Maxxis Ardent EXO/TR in 26x2.25 on an old Schwinn Homegrown. According to Maxxis they are "a light duty trail tire that rolls fast in dry conditions." They may be an option.

Gotta ask - what's a "racey dentist bike?" I think I know but making sure I understand the cultural idiom.

Ride around the south end of the valley . . .

Ya, I get ya. It's all about finding a good fit. I'm just amazed at some of the old dudes around here still riding.

This reminds me of this post I read - I see it with the club I ride with, many of whom ride very racey dentist bikes... I ride a Specialized Roubaix which is a square geometry...

Crested Butte little spin around from town

ALT-BIKE, BRO!!! 😂😂

It's the bending over part that doesn't feel great to me anymore now that I'm over 40. I used to ride racey road bikes with drop bars, cruising around everywhere bent in half. I can do that for about two blocks now. The thought has occurred to...

Corded shorts? Please tell me you got some padding underneath them (even if it was only 17 miles). J/K though. Love the shirt!

40? Nah, "you can do it!" Seriously, we've got a couple guys double that age that come out for rides. One is 85 and had a knee replacement earlier this year. He still skis 60 days each winter! (I know, I don't know how he does it). The other...
