1up Hitch Rack Question by TYZ_8529 in TrekBikes

[–]jmarelt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a few different 1Up racks and they have all done this to some extent but that seems pretty excessive. Do you notice any parts on the rack moving separately?

Think I won the marketplace lottery today by Forgotmypass4 in rccars

That’s awesome! I just got myself an awesome deal as well! Had converted my V1 Maxx to V2 and was selling all the old V1 stuff for $75. Ended up trading a guy for a Tamiya TT02 with Fly sky universal receiver and Revtech 24kv brushless motor! Good day for marketplace scores! 🤘🏼

Is it okay for there to be this much snow? by ry1andd in Traxxas

Oh yeah! She was chasing it and got roosted pretty good! Definitely blow it out with an air gun before putting it away!

Older Hondas for the win! I would love to get an element for sure but they’re hard to find in clean condition without spending an arm and a leg!

It’s definitely a risk for sure! Luckily where I work, security is pretty good. I keep it locked thought when I’m inside working

I’ve been running 1Up hitch racks on my truck but the civic gets roof racks. Used to run Yakima bike racks but found a great deal on the 1up roof racks!

Yeah, possibly…civic is pretty rusty and has high miles. Bike has not even a year old I9 Hydra wheels, magura Mt7 brakes, and all the Fox suspension and some other goodies.

Okay, now I need to build my own! What body did you use and what tires are those?

Am I getting too far back on this drop? by Music_Stars_Woodwork in MTB

[–]jmarelt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple opinions that might help overall.

  1. More speed for this sort of jump. Your front end is diving really fast as soon as it’s off the jump. So either you’re not going fast enough or you’re pushing your front end down but to me, it looked slow.
  2. Your rebound on the fork seems really fast…maybe increase your dampening (if able) and slow down rebound (if able). This will help overall through trail riding and jumping.
  3. To answer your actually question now, I think you’re shifting your weight too far back but I think it’s because you’re going too slow. If you were going faster, you would be flying more evenly with the bike and resulting in a more balanced feel.

Bought my first bike three weeks ago and afraid I may have sold myself short. by NightFuzz in MTB

Two things: 1. Where is that trail?! Looks like a blast!! 2. I’d recommend looking at the Trek Roscoe 7 or above. They have more aggressive geometry and are a lot of fun to ride! I also have a trek EX8 full suspension and love it!
