    Looking for bike recommendations for father

    Hello all, My father is 69 years old and has been riding my old 97 Scott Purgatory that I left behind when I moved out of the house. He is looking to replace the bike as he enjoys riding and the old Scott is pretty beat up. Most of his rides are on local rail trails. We just did a 16 mile...

    Hitch Rack Questions

    I have a 1upUSA rack with +1 bike extension. Love this rack. Loading and unloading bikes is very quick and easy. I can quickly add or remove the +1 bike extension depending on if I'm riding solo or not. The rack folds up nice and small when not in use. I can also easily switch the rack from my...

    more weird stuff at 6mi

    Or...they may just grin and say "Sorry I can't help." Then later that day when you are near death those same people will return with shovels in hand. They will dig a ditch in the trail nearby, roll your body into the ditch and cover you back up. You will forever become just another "man made"...

    clipless vs. platforms

    I'm using 5.10 Karvers with TwentySix Prerunner pedals. They stick to each other like glue, love it. That being said... It hasn't happened yet, but I do dread the day when my legs get introduced to those traction pins... Thinking of replacing my black traction pins with red pins. They look...

    Hand Pump or CO2?

    My 29er has a slow leak in its front tire that I haven't gotten around to fixing. Every couple days it goes completely flat and I pump it back up with my micro pump. Only takes about a minute to do. Some times I forget to open the micro pumps valve and pump away for a minute or two like an...

    clipless vs. platforms

    This is the reason I actually like platforms better. I can stay on my pedals trying to crank through a stall with the confidence that if I do tip over I can get a foot down very quickly. Gives me the confidence to keep going even if I know im probably going to tip over in a section. Sent...
