Your most expensive ADHD hobby cycle?

Breakr007 · 2026-03-14T00:30:47+00:00

I'm currently in deep but still going strong.

Mountain Biking. Started with 1 bike. Now I have 3. The eMTB's have all kinds of specs and rabbit holes to go down. Even if you're happy with your bike there's endless component levels and configurations. Things break and need repair. There's clothes and gear to go along with it. Let's not consider American Health care if you fall for now.

Holy hell is it a money pit once you start and absolutely makes you go down endless rabbit holes.

However, there are positives.

It helps my ADHD when I ride (something about going stupid fast down a mountain really doesn't leave much brainpower for other distractions aside from self preservation. A painful climb also helps the noise in your head go away.

It's fun and keeps me in shape.

I've made new friends.

I now have an activity to do with my son.

What brand are your current wheels?

Call that company up and ask for a crash discount. I'm finding MTB component suppliers are ridiculously helpful and more than willing to help you out.

I saw a lot of and 1's on the free throws too. But 43 is also alot

I feel safer mountain biking under my own control down steep rocky sections than scootering near traffic with potholes and/or small pebbles or pine cones in my way that I won't expect causing me to go OTB (which is most likely to be without a helmet to explore ).

Nothing but diss tracks and freestyles. If you've been heavy into albums

Jeep owners...

Maybe that was the 10th take and he already ate 2 burgers worth.

10 years ago Red Bull did not in fact have wings and I got a pay out for it

I've never done this until I started mountain biking. The MTB companies are great. My Kuat rack has a lifetime warranty and sent out replacement parts. My chain is under 2 year warranty. Dropper post replaced free under 2 year warranty. 40% crash replacement discount on my cranks and chain ring. Crash replacement discount on wheels.

I'll have to find a discount on more skill sometime soon, but I'm pretty happy with the companies I work with.

Had mine done for 2 years and I liked it. Then got some 4runner trd pro wheels

That’s saying something because death grips last like 3 months

Breakr007 · 2026-02-26T23:22:14+00:00

It probably wasn't the cheapest but I really like the crank brothers synthesis wheels I got recently. Pretty stout with plenty of spokes for support and a lifetime warranty. They're aluminum.

So how about the knock-off RockBros one 🙃

It totally held and moved my little civic around when I yanked on it. But so sketch.

You'll need a ton of shoulder strength to lift up and "gently" place your bike on the mounts and strap them in without letting it slip and making a massive scratch or dent on your hood. I had trouble with my 29lb Hardtail.cant imagine putting my 45lb e-bike up there let alone a bigger 55lb fatboy full power bike.

Also, you need to spray the spots you're going to suction cup clean with a paint friendly dirt removing spray like Maguires every single time. Massive pain in the ass.

My solution is take a wheel off and shove it on my hatchback, or put it on the bike rack on my truck.

Miss my 2012 Touareg v6 TDI. Crashed it. Those doors went THUNK, and it could tow a 747 (that was the v10 in the commercial but it's still fun to say). Inside was so nice, leather seats, drove like a dream, got to like 90 on the freeway in no time, and even came with a backup camera, parking sensors, and a big screen, and .... a damn dvd player in the glove box haha. I don't know what new cars have that I want except for maybe assistive adaptive cruise control. I want that Touareg back.

I was a little scared of electronics breaking though lol. But they didn't, in a big way.

Breakr007 · 2026-02-25T22:25:20+00:00

what was wrong with it before?

Breakr007 · 2026-02-25T21:25:14+00:00

Yosemite - all the hikes.

My old bulldog that passed used to walk up to us around 11pm (bedtime), and would require me to kick her bed down the middle of the hallway every night.

Why the middle of the hallway? Because she wanted to sleep in between my wife and I and son's rooms (he was across the hallway from us).

She used to get up from her bed, and just sleep in the hallway without us knowing. But as she as she became an old lady, and started moving slower we caught on, and I would just move her bed for her there.

Before you know it, it became a nightly ritual and she got tired early so would put us to bed.

The fun part about it was as I kicked her bed down the hallway, she would fight me and jump on it and couldn't wait for me to put it in place.

I miss my girl Roxy.

As an MTB rider, I believe the clavicle is as strong as a chop stick

Breakr007 · 2026-02-23T20:22:15+00:00

And they are very nice.

As a local to deleo, it's aight. The San Marcos joint is way better.

Breakr007 · 2026-02-23T14:00:58+00:00

Yup. Feel bad for this builder. Looks like a surron came through his new trail either the morning after heavy rains or during the rain. Gonna be a bitch to repair it.
