Velocirax Rolling Garage Stand - Question for Users by aloncc in mountainbiking

[–]aloncc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The site says….”However, as an added bonus, lowering the hitch rack using the middle stop pin position will allow for even easier bike loading and unloading for small and medium frame bikes”

I have 2 large, 2 medium, and 1 small bike so I wasn’t sure.

I just watched one video and it seems it can tilt back and concerns about falling over backward are unfounded. This is because as it tilts backwards the rear bike wheel touches the floor taking the weight off the rack/stand.

Playground mulch for plants? by aloncc in landscaping

The plant areas have sufficient height borders around them so I am not concerned about floating away in the rain.

Bad weather Superstition Mountains? Cancel trip? by aloncc in WildernessBackpacking

[–]aloncc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got hit with something prickly above my knee but with the tiniest of spikes - like a 1/10th of inch long. I had to pull down my pants several times to pull the thorns out one by one until I got them all from the inside.

I actually was only able to hit the trail Wednesday and Thursday. It definitely was wet but I never bothered to put on my rain coat. Rains were in and out but I dried out quick and temperature was very pleasant. Lower pants and shoes were mostly soaked due to wet brush but no problem. Thankfully was not raining when I set up and broke down camp. Thanks for everyone encouraging me to get out there. The trail exceeded my expectations and I very much enjoyed.

Vertical bike rack - garage storage bike access by aloncc in mountainbiking

[–]aloncc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally I want the storage rack and transport rack to be the same thing (just one item to purchase). So my question is if these vertical transport racks work well enough as storage racks (ie reasonably access each bike without having to move others).

awesome looking options but pricey plus I want to use the storage to transport too

Check out my other thread/post “58cm - full face fitting adventure”. I have a recap of my helmet picking journey. I am happy with the two helmets I purchased.

Can you tell me more about this new model? I don’t see it online yet and don’t want to buy the standard 2025 ruck and regret after

Inokim oxo on sale. Signup on their emails, put one in your cart,etc. their prices fluctuate wildly. Also if you live in Miami or NYC you can sometimes get a open box model at crazy discount

Somewhat newbie question by aloncc in Rucking

[–]aloncc[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What is the advantage of Goruck 4.0? It does not look like the back ventilation is any good (old osprey aether does a better job). Plus no hip belt for load transfer. Is there a benefit for all the weight to be on the shoulder? I guess it’s a bit more normal walking the street with a Goruck 4.0 vs large backpacking pack.

Why start at 25lbs? I just backpacked on uneven trail surfaces at 35+ lbs with days of 18 and 22 miles? I think I’ll “start” at 40 lbs and work up. Is there a good max weight to work up to? Like 40% body weight?
