one pivot is super-high right now😁

Cant comment on the stache, but i hear its good. The honzo is a killer rig and with a little tweaking it can do just about whatever you want. I had the aluminum frame and it rode fine for my 40+ y/o body, just make sure you get a good saddle. I'd recommend finding a leftover 2018 big honzo 27+ because you can run either plus wheels or a 29x2.6 combo . Frame geo is almost the same between the 29 & plus frames.

She's figured out how to open doors. There is no escape

i currently own 3 single pivots.

I ran schwalbe super swans tubeless on stans flow ex wheels on my old kona private jake. That bike saw multiple laps on MTB trails including the brushy creek stuff without issues. https://www.ebay.com/itm/TIRE-PAIR-700x35-SCHWALBE-SUPER-SWAN-GRAVEL-CYCLOCROSS-CX-CYCLE-CROSS-TUBELESS/254112091387?hash=item3b2a42ccfb:g:p8gAAOSw3K1cWycg

These animals get along so well they must be Canadian. nice job

last 8 or 9 of my bikes have been BB92 with no issues.

Thanks. They are really, really fun bikes.

This where we're at as well. Worked in auto industry for the last 28 years and i am done with internal combustion engines and the mess required to keep them going. We just bought a hybrid for the wife and will hang onto that until a plugin worth driving drops below $40k. There's a ton of money being dumped into electric truck research & design right now so we're not far away from seeing something available to consumers.

Im a sram guy but there's no way id run that 12spd long cage eagle derailleur here in rock city.

X2 on buying used and also looking at new bikes on closeout. Places like jenson, steep & cheap (backcountry) and cambriabike all buy leftover stock from manufacturers at highly discounted prices. I was this >< close to buying a leftover bike from cambria for 60% off but changed my mind and went another direction.

Honzo. One of the few bikes i still miss to this day.

This over and over, regardless of age. Blockage is scary AF

Thanks! Bee. Shes a tough old dog for sure.

Other than preventing people from just reaching in and grabbing whatever, they aren't theft proof. If thieves want in they'll just break glass and help themselves like any other vehicle break in. You can add cable locks to bed to ease your mind and bit, and let the insurance company deal with the rest.

If you have the resources to buy/maintain/store a van just for MTB trips, i'd say go for it.

The nice thing about the topper is being able to finish a ride, and slide the bike in and lock it. No concern of rain, snow, salt, vandalism or backing into sh*t with the carrier. Another bonus is not having to drag dirty bikes into a hotel at 2am or having to shoehorn a filthy bike into your SUV. On short trips ill use my carrier, but overnight trips will be using the topper.

Tacoma with camper for the win. However, if you really want a 4 runner, PM me and i can give you the number to some wholesalers who buy/sell them.

It looks like it'd be a good place for a break from the monotony of riding the same trails over and over. I'm gonna take the wife out there before it gets balls hot next month or so. Agree the website blows dog. Most of my exposure to bandera has been from other riders on YT and Instagram. Keep up the good work Seth

Been on a bit of a mike patton kick lately. Forgot how good tomahawk was.

non-shitty is always something to aspire to

It was hard to leave and come back to tejas in august for sure. We'd have to tap out on any place with a winter cold enough to freeze the st lawrence😨

We ran into this with our insurance when the movers stole some jewelry. Luckily USAA has always been easy to work with and actually waived our deductible in that situation.,
