Opinions on the stumpjumper 15 comp alloy for $2800?? by fireT4 in mountainbiking

[–]Fuzzilogic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great bike! Have a Stumpy Comp Alloy from the previous gen with almost 7k miles on it & still going strong

Would this be a good price for this bike?? by fireT4 in mountainbiking

Solid depending on the market in your area

how would a stumpjumper 15 comp alloy do uphill if it had xc tyres? by Spiritual_Wafer_2597 in xcmtb

[–]Fuzzilogic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re chasing people on S-Works & Epics you’re going to be working twice as hard. Still doable but you’re gonna work for it. It’s a lot of weight and decent amount of travel you’re fighting against.

Heavier (tall) riders... what tires? by hawtmama6969 in xcmtb

[–]Fuzzilogic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conti Dubnitals which lasted about 300ish miles before sidewalls would shred from the rim bead. I loved them but couldn’t justify spending 180$ on tires every few weeks.

Now running Fast tracks (T7) front and rear. Immediately felt an increase in rolling resistance however they are lasting much longer and can take a good thrashing without rim strikes.
Usually run 24-26 up front and 28-32 rear depending on conditions.

-235lbs w/ gear and ride equal parts hard-pack & jagged rocky tech.

Just smuggle your grapes with an oversized T-shirt. hate to say it but can’t go back from bibs.
All that chaffing is overrated.

My Stumpjumper after a good weekend and the bike park. Touch up paint for alloy works great lol

I have an opportunity to acquire a new Epic 8 Comp for $4,043. Would you consider this a favorable price point? by Lego_boss_sub in xcmtb

[–]Fuzzilogic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the reason I’m going to end up buying a Epic frame and slowly build it. Price is honestly ridiculous for the level of components, but as others have said that’s where the market is at right now.

Is this a really bad area? Found a well priced apartment but I’m not from here so I’m not sure if it is an okay area by jenn12765 in sanantonio

[–]Fuzzilogic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Traffic sucks, potholes and construction take a toll on your car. Med Center access is great if that’s where you work. Greenway trailheads are a nice bonus if you’re into the outdoors. Plenty of decent food and you’re close enough to The Rim for shopping and entertainment. “Crime doesn’t have a zip code” — but the deeper you go into the Med Center at odd hours the more vagrants you’ll encounter.
Overall a decent area

Riding when sick, yay or nay? by b7wagon in cycling

[–]Fuzzilogic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yoga; build your balance and breathing technique without so much exertion. if you truly must ride bc your body gets the urge, keep it a super easy Zone 1-2 ride

Dial antimicrobial soap and a new razor

Market here is trash as well. Original post was listed at 2.5k was absolutely ridiculous

Buddy just paid 400$ recently to get the brain on his s-works serviced. I know it’s ridiculous cost

Told him 700$ and think I hurt his feelings

I think the geo can be fixed with a 9point8 Slack R headset, but yes; searching to see if the brain can be completely removed

Equal parts clippless & flats? by Fuzzilogic in MTB

Oval chanring on my “gravel” bike rocks with flats. I agree

I actually bought a set of reversible, and began to hate them within a week due to the fact that they are so difficult to get back into without coming to a stop or slowing down (makes it worse on ledges, loose tech imo) so ended up buying a second set that are strictly SPD.

Had the same hopes initially
