The quality of workmanship on those bridges looks amazing. Nice job!

That is killer!!

WHY oh WHY do people route their brake lines on the ouside of the fork leg?!

Jedi's…

Not Ollie, the Mad Frenchman.

I took almost the exact same pic when I was there…that trail is nuts. You go past that sign, and the trail is so narrow, you couldn't "dab" your left foot…it hangs over a cliff that is hundreds of feet straight down.

Not a good idea to ride it. Zero margin for error, and it would not be a crash, you would die. Nasty.

> I hear that's what all the noobs are wearing at Whistler this year.

:lol: Thats the word!

It has the same vetns as any other D2. A few in the front, a few on top and a few on the back.

Full Face helmets are hot, regardless of how many vents there are. Don't wear them while climbing and you are good to go.

There are vents, all the ports are on the back.

Looks like Barry's bike, from Squamish.

Deadly shot….and nice riding too!

set-up on a chev, not sure how a dodge is.

Got it, thank you for sharing.

Let the air out of your tires.

I never thought of that…that's a really good idea! Thank you.

Yeah nice set-up for sure .

We ended up at Meridian RV looking for a part for the camper van , and before I knew it the wife was crawling all over the trailers and asking questions and such .

I was amazed at how well they can be specked , one had forced air furnace/ac ducting in the floor and had a fire place , with push out sides and such they get quit roomy .

LOL, be careful, it escalates quickly. We went from planning on taking the kids camping (in a tent) to buying a Jayflight 26BH in a matter of weeks! (before the trip)

i'd love to say voodoo and magic but the truth is the wheels are just in the corner of the box and the rear wheels are meeting in the centre. I too thought that a short box(6'6" not the super short) could not have the tailgate up but i was pleasantly surprised. Sadly the stock tie down points are less than ideal so i've added some extra anchor points. I'm hoping these new anchor points will stop the swaying on rough roads.

One can also tie the bikes down the traditional way and loop the wire tailgate stops over the tailgate latching pins and it will just be left open a bit. Poor explanation i'm sure so maybe i will follow up with a photo.

We have been searching for the ideal set up for about 4 or 5 year and a couple of years ago my friend got this trailer. It seemed to check most of the items on our checklist off. I really wanted a long box truck but was having issues finding a used one. I also really wanted a 4 door and didn't want a super long truck….this will have to do i guess.

Thanks - great info. I got a 2015 Ram 3500 diesel and have a 6'4" box - not sure if I can squeeze mine in the same way being 2" shorter…it will need to be a last minute test before the next trip. I need the tailgate up when I am towing our TT.

When you loop the wire stops around the locking pins, are you unclipping them and re-routing, or just doubling the wire back? (trying to understand how that works - just went and tried both ways on mine).

Agree with you on the long box. Mine is a daily driver and a super crew. The long box version would be massive and a pain in the ass to park. I already struggle with the height in parkades, don't need length as another limiting factor.

Yes we sold it. Seems they are pretty hard to get a hold of these days. I think it sold within an hour to some guy from Las Vegas for a pretty crazy price due to the weak Canadian dollar.

Great little trailer that is perfect for a small truck or SUV. My Tacoma pulled it with ease, even loaded up with two motos and the extra gear. Sadly it was a little limiting after 4 or 5 days and it would be tough to actually live "in" if weather was nasty for days on end.

How long is the box in the new truck? Looks like you have two bikes in there, curious how you make that work with the tailgate closed?

I had a similar experience when I first went tubeless. I was in a rush and was going to be late for a ride (shocker) and bailed on it and threw a tube in. When I got back I took one side of the bead off, pulled the tube, and tried again.

This time I lubed the bead up with some dish soap. The difference was night and day, it seated with a floor pump in seconds.

When I did the front tire, I did the same thing, however I didn't have one side seated yet.Lubed both beads, worked one side on as best I could by hand, and them pumped and it came together easily.

Maxxis High Roller on the back and Minion on the front.

Ross, I've been following your thread and thinking about ya, wishing you well. You are an inspiration the way you have taken this on.

Keep on getting better!!

Nevegals have been the main tire I've used for north of ten years. Are there better tires? Probably - Maxxis makes some great rubber, I just find they wear faster (a function of good soft rubber doing its job) and I don't find the performance is sufficiently better for me to pay that much more than I do for Nevegals. I've always felt the Nevegals do a good job in all conditions, the sidewalls work (both wire and folding) and I get good longevity out of them.

I'm running folding bead 2.35 Nevegals on my all mountain bike and ride a few times a week and I think I've had two flats in a year and a half with them, usually my fault for running low pressure and picking a hack line. Not bad.

It's a OneUp, with a clutch derailleur. I'm hoping I don't need a guide and i'm going to try it without and see what happens, but my internet sleuthing suggests that it's a good idea if you're going to be riding rougher stuff (the Shore) reasonably* quickly.

*Or moderately quickly, but like a hack…

Or when it wears a bit.

I'm on the same set up, no guide. Never dropped a chain. I don't think you will need a guide (or a bash ring) to clutter up all of the beautiful de-cluttering the 1x setups provide.

spine and ttt are usually one of the wetter areas. Ive got some good loops dialed in there usually 3 hours and 40+ kms

Friday at noon is my usual lap but weather this week says thrusday is the day to ride

40kms!! Wow…that's awesome.

Vedder is a great place to ride, but I've always struggled to really know where the hell I am and to put together a good, consistent loop. I've ridden (found) a lot of great trails, but often lose track of where they are and how to get back to them.
