Post a picture of your next bike part or mtb gear on order!

Been considering moving away from Sram brakes for a while and my rear lever decided to start leaking yesterday so...

TRP Slate EVO Hydraulic 4 Piston Disc Brake with 1900mm Hose - Level Nine Sports



I've been consistently impressed with TRP at every turn. Tried the DHR Evo's and Slate T4's a few times and both have been great. Snappy but not overly so. Powerful as hell too. These are going on my RM Element.

5Dev cranks/chainring & OneUp top cap/tool. The chainring is 34T and, I gotta be honest, it's a bigger change in gearing than expected. I will leave it on and hopefully get stronger on the climbs but I'm feeling the pain. 😂 It's as if I lost the biggest 51T gear.

AXS's app tells you what gears you used during a ride....I was appalled. I dropped down to 30t and now am consistently in gears 3-10 instead of 5-12. The only times I was in 1-4 was on the road.

Recently ordered and installed a piece of MTB trail maintenance gear. To help drive down bombed out sand roads on those trail maintenance days when both the truck and trailer are fully loaded. A Roadmaster Active Suspension load leveler.

Let me know how they work out for you…I was thinking of installing them in my Tundra. I am eventually going to buy another ATV and it’s so much easier throwing it in the bed vs trailering. They have very good reviews in the Toyota forums.

I have a '16 Tacoma that I use to tow a teardrop camper. Needed to eliminate the sagging in the rear when towing. Looked at all the options: air bags, load leveling springs and SumoSprings.

Decided on the SumoSprings as they required the least amount of installation time and got the job done. Might work for your Tundra with the ATV in the bed. The model I have replace the factory bumpstop. Unloaded they don't contact the frame rail unless going over a speed bump or roll a dip too fast. When loaded, it sits down and supports the load. I contacted SumoSpring asking for suggestions about which model to choose.

Google Timbren bump stops. They may be what you need.

I have heard of them and they get very good reviews as well. What made you choose them over the Timbren? I had airbags on a 2012 Tacoma and I would never do that again. At the minimum unloaded PSI (5 if I recall correctly) the ride was horrendous. Especially in NYC…regretted that decision every moment the truck was unloaded but praised them when loaded up. It definitely lifted the rear wind when empty.

My wife was thrilled the day we traded it in.

The RAS went on a G3 Tacoma TRD OR w/ OEM suspension. The truck's daily load is a fiberglass cap and a full box of recovery kit. The cap and recovery kit had sagged the rear about 3/4" from new.

The RAS brought the rear back up to full travel. Rear suspension now feels more progressive on the highway. A nearby highway expansion joint that would always slam the rear and kick it out to the left is now unnoticeable. I was looking at installing Bilstein 5100s in the back to resolve that kick. But it's not needed now. Have yet to travel with a full load of tools. But I'm guessing its going to be good.

If I remember correctly, the decision was made after reading posts on 2 different Tacoma forums comparing Timbren vs SumoSprings
 
Haha, yes but
1) I've had difficulty with getting packages shipped there - for some reason FedEx and USPS don't always recognize our address and
2) Stuff that does get shipped to my office with my name on it often gets opened by my staff (veterinarian, all our meds have to be ordered under a vet name)

On the plus side, if I don't nab it first my wife won't be mad, just give me a hard time about it for the rest of my life.

I prefer riding my fatbike with flat pedals, and since winter should get here eventually, had my mom buy me these for my birthday. 🥳

I use these during the cold / wet season. Had to hike a bike through a stream at the Frederick WS and foot stayed dry. Gore-Tex FTW!
