I'm not nice to my bikes either, and I've always been a bit paranoid about something happening to mine. You're not helping.
Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

Definitely. How much you wanna spend? Easy to DIY, but there's commercial options too. The one I saw that I really liked was really similar to number two, it was made of bent pipe that he'd connected with threaded rod so he could adjust for tire size, and it attached to a piece of superstrut he'd bolted to bed so he could pull it out when he wasn't using it. Pretty slick.
A tailgate pad is easier though.

I couldn't say. I doubt it, but a bungie cord would make short of that if it did.

I have a rack that I use to haul 3 dirt bikes in the bed and still use my fold up tonneau cover. I use it for mt bikes too. I lightly use my dirt bike straps on the handle bars. Obviously wouldn’t work with carbon bars. It’s not the most convenient but it does work. I’d do tailgate pad if it wasn’t for wanting the tonneau cover

I plan on making a couple of these this year to run on my Tacoma. I use a tailgate pad but these can easily be removed with one strap and thrown behind the seat for quick deploy. Plus they won't block your backup camera.

I don’t use my tailgate pad much, mostly because I need bed space, but it seems like my tailgate pad has a ton of tire marks on it.
I’ve always wondered if those single bike pads could cause paint damage if you care about that kind of thing?

I wonder the same thing. I also worry about the tailgate pad grinding dirt into the paint so I always clean the tailgate before putting it on. I think the bomber strap is a bit overpriced for >$100 and it looks pretty easy to replicate with some Cordura, a few feet of webbing and some foam, so I'll give it a shot at some point. If it doesn't protect the paint, I'm only out a few bucks and some time or I can sell it to Dave

Lava Flow in the Iron Hills trail system is a favorite. We like to stop there for a lap or two on the way back from Gooseberry.

I rode that last year but haven't made it to the south end of town yet. Maybe tonight or tomorrow night if I can fit it in.
So I was this really cool dad and stopped at a yard sale to buy my kids a unicycle. It was more than I thought I should pay.. but I was already there. It didn't have pedals so I bought a set from amazon.
I went to install pedals, and the dumb crank is stripped out.
Tried to pull the crank off an older bike and boke it.
Point is.. if you guys have an extra set of crank arms in your rubbish pile that is bound for the trash.. I could use a set.
They are only $20 on amazon.. but that means I could have just bought a new one for what I have spent on this one.. 😢
