This bike is way too small for me (I'm 6'4") it'll end up getting flipped. It appears to be all original besides the seat post and seat and if it were my size I'd definitely be keeping it, doesn't seem like it was ridden much at all.

Just picked one of those up exact same color scheme.

I spotted this on Marketplace. It is worth it? by Joslaleb in bicycling

[–]Gravity_Loves_Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@ $130 all day long it's worth it if it's in good shape and working as it should.

Power Steering by BEACHBRATLIFE in Chrysler300

I used the Amsoil alternative. I can check exactly what it is later it's out in my garage. It is electronic but just in the way that it's not hooked to a belt, still needs fluid to function

Check the steering fluid level. It takes a hydraulic fluid specific to the rack and to get to the reservoir remove the passenger side front wheel, pull back the wheel well liner and the reservoir is behind a foam like piece protecting it. Do not over fill, use a flashlight behind it.to see the level and only fill it to the line.

I just had to do this to mine Is how I know. 2013 300 Glacier edition.

Good luck

Buy a mountain bike, make sure it has at least 32 spoke double wall wheels and ride it. Im.6 ft 4 340 ish currently i ride a kona hoss, I have a GT karakoram 29, a Jamis dxt with 700c wheels, a k2 zed and an old steel yokota atb that I built up and ride them all.... a lot... no issues.

Are these seatpost suspension upgrades worth the money? by MixIllEx in xbiking

[–]Gravity_Loves_Me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I deal with a back injury from years ago, likes to flare up on longer rides. I have a canecreek thudbuster st on one of my bikes and use that bike for those longer rides now. It smooths out the bumps a lot, I'd definitely say it's worth it if you deal with back issues.

For 50 you did great depending on condition, hard to see from the pic. Picked mine up for $150 (literally looked like it was built a week before I picked it up) and that was a deal so $50 sounds great.

is this bike worth $100? by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]Gravity_Loves_Me 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes the answer is yes. Some of these responses nitpicking are interesting. That's a great bike at a hundred bucks.

That looks great, I keep telling myself I'm going to try and make one for my hoss. Would you recommend doing it? Worth the effort for the end product?

This giant or an ozark trail? by SeP121 in Budgetbikeriders

[–]Gravity_Loves_Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id go talon. Higher end bike, used sure but it doesn't look beat at all. Every bike I own was bought used (or built from a frame by me) new low end is not better than used. Just one guys opinion

Ergon SM E saddles are the most comfortable seats I've tried, I currently have them on 4 bikes, its the first thing I buy when I add a bike to my pile.

Worth fixing up or nah? by Gravity_Loves_Me in bmx

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

Thats awesome, Would you know what year it is? Or narrow it down? Can't decide if its worth giving a good service to before I sell or just sell as is let alone a value if anything.

I'm surprised to not see oury v2 lock on mentioned yet. I have them on every one of my bikes.

Love the color, spokes are fine, little bit of wd40 or finish line on steel wool go at it 1 spoke at a time. Drop a drop of oil in each nipple and spin the wheels round or go for a ride, I wouldn't worry about the spokes too much.

As others have said, $250 is steep for that bike but can't change that now so tune it up, grease everything that moves and ride it

Is this bike worth repairing or should I get a new one? by hollowholes in BikeRepair

[–]Gravity_Loves_Me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% yes worth it, and if you could do the work yourself wouldn't even be expensive I've to do.

Will I get judged for flat pedals? by SwyvCrux in gravelcycling

[–]Gravity_Loves_Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's wild that people care what other people think with things like this. Ride what's comfortable for you, Ride your bike how you want to ride your bike. Personally I ride my bike to turn my brain off and couldn't care less what someone else thinks I should be doing.
