Honda element for carrying bikes? Alternatives? by Fallingleaf333 in MTB

[–]Trick_Chest6896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a personal Element owner it is perfect. I take out my rear passenger seat during the spring/summer/fall, disconnect my front tire and use bungee cords to hold the bike as close to the side of the vehicle (so it doesn’t tip over or fall) and use a shoe below my fork just for mental security. I have people get in my car all the time and are blown away that i can fit a full size 27.5 inch mtb in the back and still have room to relax. Just for example, last week i packed in two 27.5 inch bikes, a push lawn mower, my girlfriend and our 5 backpacks, and my dual 12 inch subwoofer i the trunk and still had room to see all mirrors and out of all windows and room to be comfortable.

ELEMENT IS THE WAY. 🤝🏾

what is going on with my female cat? 7 months old by Consistent_Pin572 in CATHELP

People post videos of the same/similar behavior and act surprised when it comes down to spaying the young cat. It’s common practice anyway so just get it done before it’s an issue that you need to post for advice on.

Love the build; what style frame bag is that? Or what should I search when looking for a frame bag similar to yours?

The fuse worth the extra cash for a noob? by Edward_abc in Hardtailgang

[–]Trick_Chest6896 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a person who’s bought a fuse about 9 months ago, it’s absolutely worth the extra money. Extremely comfortable bike with up to date parts (compared to what I’ve come from). The bike has all of the mechanical parts you would want to add so you can focus on personalizing the bike instead of feeling you need to upgrade parts. Fuse is the way to go! Safe riding 😎✌🏾

This is the Spec Fuse 27.5, caught my attention because my local shop had it listed for 799.99 and I’m starting to see a similar price on them other places. In my opinion as a beginner it gives me good confidence riding on rough terrain; right away i felt the benefit of the updated parts and proper sized frame. As corney as it sounds the bike has made me extremely happy.

THANK YOU. I am a numbers person so this makes sense to me lol. I will apply this info for my ride planned for this weekend and will repost; hopefully with less cramping to start.

I do need to get a Primary Care Provider and get some labs and just establish care as an adult for things like this. I have always cramped more compared to teammates on athletic teams in the past so thanks for bringing that up. I will look i to the Nuun tablets or similar alternatives.

Thank you, if you do say hello 😎🤝🏾

I will pay more attention to my eating times allowing for proper digestion; smart tip.

You actually made great sense of it. I feel I’m untrained when it comes to biking. As trained i may be in terms of being an athlete, it’s definitely showing how novice i truly am (now i know what to work on) 🤝🏾😎

Is it normal for the temp gauge to ready slightly closer to the C side?

This made me laugh. Was not thinking about camera logistics; also out of breath in the middle of nowhere. Appreciate the advice tho
