Things I’ve upgraded so far: grips, handlebar, pedals, tires.
These important components of the bike will definitely make your bike better. Recently helped a buddy upgrade his bike after we finished installing the...
Curious about the looks and setup of that integrated cup. Can you share a pics so we can check if it is possible to use an external headset?
Jeff that's a pretty good list of nice jackets.
True about comparison difference with Strava and other app. Happy with Strava here either.
@trackerJack – it has worked fantastic. Over a 8 day time frame in late May and early June I drove from San Antonio, Texas to Bentonville, Arkansas then to Sante Fe and...
@silverstang How's it now? A buddy of mine is considering a hitch bike rack for his Civic as well. The Kuat rack looks good.
Great tips on here. Definitely choose the new one if you have limited wrenching abilities. As mentioned, invest in better tires so you'll learn good.
Oury.
Shock-absorbing, comfortable, tacky enough not to have your hand slip, soft but will last a few seasons of rough riding, and basically the best grips. Ever. And no, I don’t own the...
SanJuanHuts looks like got good stuff to offer, especially for beginners.
Nice new outfit! Hope I can join someday.
Cool artwork indeed! Hope to try the Black bear rampage soon.
I do it for fun and fitness as well. I get a little harder and faster when I know it is safe.
Night riding is great. I love how it expands my season into the Daylight savings months. Having experienced a light failure on a trail in the middle of winter, I will enthusiastically...
Looking to try the night riding as well. That Cygolite Expilion 800 looks great. I don't have a keen eye in the dark so I need something a little brighter.
Heard another guy broke the rear hub on his 2018 Stache 5. I was helping a buddy installing the new lift kit and fender flares on his truck when his brother came...
Did you end up getting that bike? If so, how much?
At that budget I would vote too for a new one. Start with what suggested above.
Sounds like a new bike would be better.
Having a pack is way more convenient and practical to store things. Never seen anyone here leave their keys on the tire.
That would be good if they improve and maintain the quality of tires for less. I've encountered some products that started with high quality and a good price which eventually lower the...
Good run on that challenging trail! Lots of things to watch out
My uncle got Diamond Apex either and thinking to restore it too! He said it was missing some pieces but just minor parts. Gonna start planning on it right after we installed...
Tailgate cover seems a better choice for trucks!
One buddy here go that 27.5+ Raleigh Tokul 3 and seems a very good one.
Looking for ideas about bike tie-down either. Subscribing
Good to hear the improvement. I wouldn't mind the wear either as long as the needed traction is there.
Meh. Find them practical if you need to stay away from the ground for safety.
Admiring all the great trails out there in Michigan. Hoping to ride at Copper Harbor next month.
