Any Mountain Bikers here?

- Wed Apr 09, 2014 2:58 am #344291 I remember an older bike thread, but it was mainly bmx related I think. Ive outgrown those now and have moved out to bigger and faster bikes. Any one else here ride as well?

If so post up some pictures of your rigs!

Here are my two I have left.

My Race bike ( I race mountain bikes now)

Ive sold two of my older bikes now, one being the chrome bike in the first race picture. All the bike were built by me execpt the new race bike, which is a mostly stock Epic.

Ditto that. Same goes for running/jogging, although I'd always rather be on a bike. :thumb:

He'll yeah!

And when I'm done with this, it will be my main bike transporter. I have two Saris roof rack load bars. I'll use one inside the doors with a fork mount. And for the rear wheel I am going to use a SeaSucker vacuum mount.

- Sat Apr 12, 2014 6:57 am #344449 I have most of a Yakima roof race I need to get rid of if you would like that. You would just need the towers and clips. You should be able to look through either of my cars build threads to see what I had. I have since changed to a different car and have extra parts.

How do you like those brake rotors? i just ordered some new ones for my SS and looked at those.

No thanks, I have a complete Saris roof rack from a '89 HB Si, where you could put the rear load bar in the rear side windows, because those poped out for ventilation. On this car both load bars have to go in the doors, which makes the load bars to close together. So, that's why I'll use a SeaSucker for the rear wheel and one load bar for the fork mount.

These rotors give the same power as the OEM rotors with out that initial hard bite, which I don't like and they give better modulation, while being a lot lighter, cheaper and better looking.

Shit, actually anything with wheels is pretty fun. Maybe not roller blades or skates though. I'm not that light in the loafers.
