  • in reply to: What is the worst mountain bike you've ever owned? #204134

    I had a few big box “mountain” bikes in high school.  I had no clue what I was doing. They fit horribly never shifted right all sorts of issues typical of box store bikes.  They were so bad that I got out of the sport for 8 years before getting fitted on a real mountain bike and have been hooked ever since.

    Not sure I buy the double the force but it is a lot more comfortable on your hands. I still prefer T handle Allen Keys for the feel and control.

    Day 29. Hardest day yet for me. Rain + a steady 20+ mph wind. I did just a quick spin around the block. dodging all manner of things being blow around. Tomorrow’s weather looks like more of the same. Oh well not going to quit now only one more day left.

    Cheers to every one who took on the Challenge we can all use a round tomorrow.

    Jamie,

    A few questions for you

    What size crank arms are you running? What type of pedals do you have? Also do the pedals hit the tires when you turn the bars?

    I’m thinking some fit adjustment will help a great deal. Personally I wouldn’t down size to a 26 inch wheel and tire on a 29er. it may open more issues like lower BB height and how the bike handles.

    Finally got a chance to hit dirt yesterday. Rode 2 new trails in mid 60* weather only down side was a nasty amount of wind.

    Dirty bike = clean soul

    I need to get a crossbike of some sort for days like that. Thanks for sharing.

    in reply to: #30daysofbiking Challenge #123971

    I’m ready to put some miles under my tires this April. Though typical April showers look to keep my off dirt for the first part of April.

    I can’t wait to share a round in spirit with every one on May 1

    Define "ready" 😀

    I’m planning to take Sunday and Monday off & rest so I can come into the beginning of april at least sort of refreshed.

    When you put it that way I guess I’m ready. I did give the bike a good lube and adjusted my cockpit a little some its more comfortable.
