Great info, I appreciate it! For the record, I am 5’7” 210lbs. I’m not a small guy. I started at 30lbs front and rear and expected them to be a bit too hard, but that’s where I chose to start. Tomorrow I will soften them up a pound or two and see how it feels.
Thank you again for the replies. I’ve looked around for a few bike clubs but it seems that most of them are inactive.
I went and purchased a Roscoe 8 yesterday. I figure I can grow with that bike a little bit. I hope to meet some folks out on the trails soon. I don’t know anyone else who rides. I sincerely appreciate everyone’s advice. And I will post some updates on my progress.
Great info Brooks. I appreciate it. Most people are recommending a hard tail. I guess I should take heed.
Thank you for the inputs! I’m not against going with an entry level bike. I just don’t want to grow out of it a year and wish I had bought more bike in the first place. When I got into kayaking, I kept going through boats every couple months because I was growing out of them so quickly.
I have a good bit of time off this summer, so I am going to try to rent a few bikes to get a good feel for what o really want. It’s just annoying because I’ve been shopping my butt off and looking at good bikes, but just can’t find something that I love. Just want to get out and ride! First bikes to rent are the Diamondback and the Fuse. Thanks again!
