Good on you, Leah! Being able to maintain and fix one's bicycle is just shy of the fun had in pedaling it. Carry on and one day you'll be building your own wheels! Cheers, John On Saturday, February 18, 2023 at 8:06:12 PM UTC-8 Joe Bernard wrote: > I can't true up a whole bent-outta-whack wheel

I can't true up a whole bent-outta-whack wheel and won't even try. I can true one very small section that's wobbled a little off center and that's about it, any more and it's going to the bike shop! On Saturday, February 18, 2023 at 6:31:40 PM UTC-8 Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > It’s wint

Kurt, I would base this on whether or not I was running 32 mm tires or 42+ mm tires. I had a 61 cm frame that was fine with 32 but if I wanted to really use the generous tire clearance, the top tube was higher than desirable off road. From what I understand, a 56 cm with 26” tires could possibl

Great bike, great color, it's just kind of a niche within the Riv niche so it'll take a while to find the right buyer. Spring is coming! On Saturday, February 18, 2023 at 10:54:38 AM UTC-8 fra...@gmail.com wrote: > Thank you Keith, I appreciate that! I feel like it’s a pretty good deal so > I’

Don't give up, don't get impatient or desperate, and don't entertain low-ball offers. This bike is almost perfect: best size, best color, best wheels, best crankset, best cockpit. Someone just needs to realize it. I wish I could afford it right now for a spare to my orange one. Someone is

I second, (or third?), the recommendation of Shimano SPD's. They work great and you can easily walk with SPD shoes! George in NoCal On Saturday, February 18, 2023 at 8:10:55 AM UTC-8 JohnS wrote: > I have Speedplay zero pedals on my road bikes and I really like them. Easy > to clip in and out.

I have Speedplay zero pedals on my road bikes and I really like them. Easy to clip in and out. Only down side is that mud or snow can get into the cleat which can make it hard to clip in, just need to clean the cleat first. The MKS Solution pedal looks interesting, one side is a platform and the

I have the EH-500 on my All Road bike. I guess I recently bought it out of habit. I used to have a pair on my ride everywhere bike (which was stolen). I liked how I could hop on and ride to the bars or out with friends, and I could still go on a longer purposeful ride. Haven't used the clip side

Hey Kurt. I also am 5’10 and ride a 58cm Toyo Atlantis. I’ve had the bike for over a year now and I do agree with Riv’s fit suggestion. It is probably the biggest frame I can handle without running into issues. I set mine up with Tosco bars and a 110mm stem and it fits like a glove so flat bars
