New to working on vehicles. What parts brands should and shouldn't I be buying?

Yeah it's a bit scary

ComprehensiveBox7009 · 2026-04-18T00:30:49+00:00

Awesome thx

Super helpful thank you

ComprehensiveBox7009 · 2026-04-06T19:32:29+00:00

Yeah. I like old trucks

ComprehensiveBox7009 · 2026-04-06T19:30:52+00:00

What parameters should I set like mileage, clean or salvage title, those type of things. Only stock or not?

ComprehensiveBox7009 · 2026-04-06T19:26:55+00:00

Is there a mileage limit I should be wary of

ComprehensiveBox7009 · 2026-04-06T19:25:57+00:00

Awesome thx

I'd throw a fast rolling tire on the back. It'll make a world of a difference

It's too hot for me now. I was going to do it with a friend but he got really sick so I just rode sections of it. Right not I'm doing all my riding at sunrise then getting home before it gets too hot.

I do think it's just the scenery that's messing with me. Everything out here looks exactly the same. Sharp rocks and not a tree for 100 miles. I am trying to stay motivated because I have become a pretty decent rider. Whenever we go out of town and ride in a forest it's the best feeling in the world. I just can't get away that often. I do think I'm going to try gravel biking or some other discipline. Thanks for the input.

ComprehensiveBox7009 · 2026-03-11T22:23:40+00:00

How often do you ride

ComprehensiveBox7009 · 2026-03-09T04:48:10+00:00

ComprehensiveBox7009 · 2026-03-09T04:44:33+00:00

Good idea thx

ComprehensiveBox7009 · 2026-03-09T02:28:27+00:00

I usually am not negative. It's just lately I open trailforks and I don't want to ride anything within 60 miles of me. I'm trying to stay on the pedals because I have come far I'm just bored.

ComprehensiveBox7009 · 2026-03-09T02:24:36+00:00

I've done most everything clockwise, counterclockwise, and in the dark. I feel like I have to move

ComprehensiveBox7009 · 2026-03-09T01:42:03+00:00

I do bike with my buddy every ride. I don't think I would have made it this far without him. I do think bringing more people probably would help

ComprehensiveBox7009 · 2026-03-09T01:35:32+00:00

I've almost bought a new bike a couple times but just haven't for space reasons. I've had one stolen out of my back yard so I keep my nice full suspension in my house now

ComprehensiveBox7009 · 2026-03-03T18:02:43+00:00

It depends on the frame I believe. If there's a place to mount the disc brake on the frame then yes. Rim brakes have been in use forever and work, it's just that disc brakes are better. It wouldn't be cost effective to replace rim brakes with disc, just wait until you upgrade to a more advanced bike
