MTB Riding

Sounds good. I’ll let you know if I’m heading that way. Sounds like I should bring either my e-bike (a Trek Fuel) or my bigger trail bike (a Yeti SB140).

Bring your eMTB.

Boy that’s a nice bike! what is that a huffy? 90% DH for me, I don’t always pedal up hill, but when I do it’s to get back to my truck to shuttle another run lol

The only way we can ride down hill here in Texas is by taking a lift.. https://www.spidermountain.com/

Very nice!! Love YT, they make some dope bikes.

I've got a couple YT's myself, a Decoy and a Jeffsy, both great bikes! It killed me when they announced closures and reorganization a couple months ago, not sure what the future hold for YT... I think GASGAS bikes are suffering a similar fate unfortunately, from what I've read, they aren't making bikes any more.. :/

True statement! However the company that produces the bikes for GasGas is called Raymon...they are still in business, so replacement parts and warranty work isn't an issue. But yes, unfortunate for sure.

Love my YT Capra Core 4 170mm. Adding some more riding pictures, grew up riding bmx dirt jumps and moto. Love me anything on 2 wheels.

Ask and you shall receive, cool background on the truck, dad was playing ball for the dodgers at the time and bought the truck right off the lot in 1980 brand new for something like $10k been in the family ever since.

Got some sunset laps in on the new GasGas eMTB. Man, this pedaling uphill shit was for the birds...I'm never going back to a regular bike after this, whole nother level of fun! Highly recommend y'all try one if you're into Biking.

Started thinking about hitch bike racks. There seems to be at least half a dozen different styles.

What do you have? I would only need to haul 1 or 2 e-mtb

I have a Kuat Sherpa 2.0...they make some pricey shit, but very good quality. If you get a Sherpa, you also have to get the extension plates if your ebike is too long. Their NV series accomodates longer wheelbase.

Looks nice. But yeah, pretty pricey. Looks like any decent brand is going to be starting in the $6/7 hundred range. Maybe I'll get something cheap, or just put the bike in the bed until I decide I'm going to go riding more than a few times a year

There are some cheaper 2-400 range on Amazon that will def work, just check the reviews.

My bike isn't gonna be $6k ..... Maybe $3k
And the rack, maybe $400

Mikey on the other hand, has a $800 rack

This thread makes me want to wipe the dust of my antique mnt bikes!

Let's not money shame, some folks don't have alot of extra loot to throw around.
