on the rocks's latest activity

first ride of the season now the snow is gone. 18km first ride with my wife and oldest son. was a nice easy pace. gotta loose my winter weight again 🤣

On a road trip with my wife and seems I brought the wrong bike…at least for Sedona. Started off paved, turned to gravel (perfect for my grinder), then single track, followed by me walking/carrying my bike through pretty technical stuff as I...

Some snaps from riding around the city. Always therapeutic to burn the legs and spin the pedals.

A rare responsibility free Friday = North Georgia fun.

Just built this for my Son. Picked up an Intesne 951 XC and swapped the build kit with his old bike. Came in at 27.05 lbs complete. It’s a large so I might have to sneak a few rides in on it. His old bikes for sale here...

My current MTB rides: 2001 Homegrown, 2010 Sycip Hardtail, 2023 Castellano Zorro. I'm part way through converting the old Homegrown to a 27.5 gravel bike. I may go with drop bars, I may not. As it sits, it's right at 20 lbs. Cheers!

Life is short, friends. Onward.

Four day phot bomb. There were bikes and riding of them. Now to drop back out into the desert again. ⚙️⚙️🌵🏜️

Day 1 photo dump. DV to Rhyolite through the Sarcatabus Flats basin. Intense sun, hard, long sustained climbs in really loose shït. Lots of miles.

This is just like my opinion. I really love Land cruisers and what not. Feel free to disagree or hate it. Ok with the release of the new 4runner yesterday i finally figured out why i dislike the LC250 so much. The LC250 and new 4runner are on...

I'm looking forward to the day that my skill level is commensurate with doing trails like that. 👊

Hard work before the party, on the 10-year old Niner Jet-9 RDO (it's camel flojjed in the second pic lol)

When in Seaside Florida, you ride sandy singletrack. Still better than not riding. 11 miles and about 50 feet of vert.

Getting Emily’s bike dialed.

Yesssss…… Getting rig prepped. LC skillsets transfer over well to bike packing. 👍👍

Hit up a local ride I havent tried in years due to fires, switched it up to a out and back since the loop here is a terrible forest road and steep as hell. This ride kicked my a$$ LOL. Brutal(for me) inclines for the length but super fun. First...

I ride the fat bike pretty hard and the drive terrain is holding up well after 2 years. Just like an analog pedal bike, try not to shift up hill under load, but not the end of the world if you do. Ultimately it will depends on what motor you go...

750w is pretty common. I only went 900 because I know I would be targeting 20+ miles with vertical, a very heavy bike, big fat tires causing more drag and 6" + of fresh snow expected in some cases, for normal casual riding it would be way...

That funny, I was in Aspen recently and while I don't see any 70's, there were tons of restored vintage defenders everywhere. The old school square style SUV must be the thing now.

X2 LOL. Please report how they work if you find a set. I have been considering it but got a pair of five ten's a few years back and it's amazing how they stick to a good studded pair of flat pedals.... Kind of gave up and forgot about the mags.

A lot of factors in this and you never know until you try:) I'm trying to convince my buddy to get a cheap Costco fat bike and add a Bafang motor. He's not biting yet... For that reason I like the idea. That and if your just using the bike for...

Weather is getting nice out! Time to crank up the rides a bit on local trails until we get through the mud season.

Finally got around to throwing on the 175 TI cane creek cranks and PF 30 BB. SRAM XO’s held up well but time to move on. I generally prefer blackout but black was already out by the time I got these cranks on a smoking deal.

New rear caliper going in on my MTB.
