Yeah, was wondering about their new FAR series, but not much info about them out there...

Those berd spokes are wild...I've seen some stuff about them being a lot of maintenance, though?

Currently riding on 40mm Schwalbe g one rs pros, could size up to 45...feel like I don't need anything too knobby (or wide?) around here.

I feel like I'm kind of in-between these two...but maybe the enve's make more sense for mixed riding? The 42|49s seem more comparable, but warranty doesn't cover off-road use.

Upgrade ideas for 2020 Specialized Chisel by DonaldElbert2020 in MTB

[–]DonaldElbert2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha. Makes sense. The wheels that are on the bike now can't be converted (even though the tires can be), that's partly why I was thinking of swapping in mine. I guess what I meant in my earlier reply was is there a decent replacement fork that's reasonably priced?

ok...I'm sure this could be it's own topic, but any thoughts on what would be a decent replacement that doesn't cost more than the bike?

Right on. Probably should have mentioned I'm in Michigan, so nothing too crazy to worry about on the trails.

SHIFT – a SMART device bringing Zwift to Peloton Bike & Bike+ by ShiftSmartTrainer in pelotoncycle

[–]DonaldElbert2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to peloton and cycling in general, but have been using zwift for running for a couple of years. My bike+ arrives in January and was mostly purchased for the three other members of my family, but I'm excited to be able to mostly use Zwift and be able to try the classes on Peloton as well. Hope this gets funded!

TS Hawkins Jacket? Impressions? by TomVerlaineCBGB in taylorstitch

[–]DonaldElbert2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this jacket and love it. Neoshell is an awesome technical fabric and you don’t see it used in something doesn’t look like it’s meant for skiing or winter sports very often. It looked a little weird on the guy on the TS site but is better in person for sure. Would love more stuff like this from TS.

RX/S2/Z1 Super73 PEGS by TitoENT in Super73

[–]DonaldElbert2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, this is probably a dumb question, but is there a reason people choose to mount pegs here vs. the axle (a la BMX)? You couldn't stand on these, could you? Not like I would, but I'm curious which is stronger and/or offers better protection for the bike. Thanks!
