What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (67 Viewers)

and when I don't change oil, I'm an official titanium whore. View attachment 1160942

Very nice Ti fatty!

Hopefully Vladi80 will jump in and tell us, but there really aren't many ti makers doing a tapered head tube. Most are doing a 44mm and you can run 1.25, 1.25/1.5, and 1.5 just by changing headset cups.

If I had to guess I would say it's a Titan products frame? But so many small custom ti bike makers have popped up recently I am really curious to see who made it as well!

What is the name of that bike, can't see it--I'm in the market for a fat bike (light one).

Thanks,

Zona

There aren't many Ti frame builders that make fat bikes, price could be pretty high. And if you want a really light fat bike carbon is the way to go and there are many large volume main brands have them, you can even get carbon fat rims which are amazing!

 

[jtwopark]

waiting for page 733 this weekend!

Yeah I don't necessarily run a fat bike since my old school brain tells me that the bigger the tire the more rolling resistance, I mean I used to ride a 2.1f/1.85r haha. But my most current all day ride is a 2.7f/2.4r with carbon rims

Bump for 733! And I usually change my oil after I've put thru the 3rd LARGE bottle of Mobile!

I did this a few weeks ago I posted in my build thread but posting it here too.


One problem I have been wanting to solve for awhile is a rear cargo mat, since I did not get the gray one I wanted last summer. I carry lots of boxes/parts to and from the shop, to meet locals, or to drop off at a mechanic occasionally. My cargo area was getting a tad dirty. I ended up making my own from some awesome recycled material I got at Tractor Supply. When I had my 87 FJ60, the PO had the same type of mat in the back and it worked really well.

Here is the stuff Rubber Mat, Black, 4 ft. x 6 ft. - For Life Out Here It's very heavy, guessing about 80lbs and is 3/4" thick. I pulled out a rear carpet I had and traced it. This will handle anything I put back there now and I don't have to worry about getting my carpet dirty or ruined.

That's horse stall mat. I have done the same thing in the back of my rig after I spilled a gallon of gas onto the carpet.

 

[AMMO]

I think I need to do the same thing.

How's the snow up at Tahoe? Any luck this year?

Looking like a better start.

Just finished this afternoon. My first major off-road performance modification.

 

[TheBelgian]

How about 5000 mile intervals?

How about getting one of these - Lubricheck Motor Oil Tester - and be done with it? No more wasting $$$ doing an oil change when it's not needed

 

[tampacruiser95]

Primed and rattle canned the hubs, ordering Stealth Custom Series F5s tomorrow.

Also got my Wits End liners in the mail.

And working toward page 733. Haha

 

[concretejungle]

Yeah that wouldn't have exactly been my finest work! Those stock wheels have seen better days so I wasn't too worried about it.

 

[hamishpotter]

nice paint job ; ) you should sand blast, prime, and paint or powdercoat the stock rims - they're great wheels, worth keeping

Haha I am thinking about doing that and selling them, but I am sold on the wheels I am buying.

I love my SCS wheels. I still have my stock ones but been really happy with the SCS SR8's I have.

 

[Box Rocket]

modified my spare tire mount so it's on an angle instead of straight. And replaced my swingout latch with a locking one.

Yeah the F5's are great that's what I'm running. Light as well.
