It seems to be raining a lot now and I ride my bike to work so get caught in the rain . It’s actually quite invigorating riding in the rain and it’s so warm I don’t get cold. It’s so much easier when it’s warm rain than when it’s cold rain. I used to ride in the rain when I lived in the Paciic Northwest and had to wear all sorts of rain gear that was waterproof to keep me warm and it was a real drag! Now I am wearing ocean board shorts and surf shirt and bikini top . The only drag is the shoe part. Should I be concerned if it’s lightning out?
I love that song. That album and Masters of Puppets are my favorite Metallica. When Cliff was the bass player.Never thought of that before lol
That's going to be tough. All mass-produced overseas.Can't find a decent hardtail mtn bike anywhere. I want a specialized but its impossible. Same for trek or marin

I think its that site with all the polygon bikes. I'm specifically looking for a specialized rockhopper. I need something I can fall off a cliff with and roll away. I abuse the shit out of bicyclesI’ve heard good things about the bikes from bikesdirect.com
Mostly house brands but occasionally I see them offering name brands. Decent components on the bikes for the prices though

What's the drivetrain you replaced? I keep looking at the new ones coming on todays whips, shit costs REAL money once you wear them out. If I was on anything more than 11 gears I'd be replacing my chain every 300 to 500 miles depending on the riding conditions and be sure you wouldn't see me rocking a dirty drivetrain at the start of a ride. Enjoy that new chain/cassette feel!I just had my mechanic put on a new chain and cassette on my Trek, feels like a brand new bike! I'm thinking of selling one of my ebikes, my mech thinks I could get a great price for it since the demand is so high...
Jeckler or Scalpler? How's that lefty held up for you? Always wanted to ride one of those for a bit.View attachment 4915623
Last year for hand made in USA Cannondale MTB frames.
12 years old, ~ 6000 single track miles.
I won't replace it until it breaks.
It is a Dimension 8 speed, 11-28t. The chain is really cool looking, one of those greyish corrosion-free numbers. They feel awesome, so smooth and quickWhat's the drivetrain you replaced?

Its a Scalpel, lefty has been bulletproof, just routine maintenance every third year or so.Jeckler or Scalpler? How's that lefty held up for you? Always wanted to ride one of those for a bit.
8 speed stuff is bullet proof! That on a road bike or mtn bike? I run a 11-28 on my road bike but remember them in the triple crank days when you had a 24 tooth granny.It is a Dimension 8 speed, 11-28t.
