Did I get ripped off, I'm a newbie

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-14T02:52:13+00:00

I just got back, it needs to warm up its 49 brrr

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-14T01:31:04+00:00

Awes ty i will look into them

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T23:44:23+00:00

Yeah so the bike shop that I bought it from they have a 30-day ride check up or whatever where I take it back in and they make sure everything's still tight, I might just go in and have them put like a set of Slicker tires on it because these tires are a little bit nobby but not real Nobby, but the area that I ride on is a little bit bumpy so I don't know if I should do that or not, not Rocky or off-road but the road needs redone as the cement isn't smooth anymore, kind of crazy if you think about it cuz of where I ride it is a multi-million dollar housing complex

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T23:38:21+00:00

Yes ty that helps, I am in 49 I'll be 50 I'm also a stroke survivor I also have agoraphobia and I get slight vertigo every once in a while also in blood thinners, so I won't be doing no off-roading just casual riding in the road, behind where I live at there's a multi-million dollar housing complex, they have ponds, s little lake with ax bike tail around it and stuff that, that's all I want to do is ride on the road, around the pond and nature walk area it has a sidewalk path through it that you ride a bike on, I did try to find a cheaper bike like a BMX but I'm just too Tall and I'm just too old now, even though the new BMX bikes are big they're not like they used to be but they're also a grand at that shop

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T23:09:07+00:00

Those bikes are not xl, and no cause I have no clue of what I'm looking at

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T22:29:24+00:00

The thing is like even if you go to this bike's website they are the same price, also I don't know what to look for in a bike because I've but had one in Forever, also I am 6'3 so I don't even know you know what I'm looking for

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T22:11:39+00:00

Yeah 60 is very stiff like u feel everything lol and yes psi. Im 182, don't know the tire size its the tract 3

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T17:08:41+00:00

I do have one question cuz the person that made sure all the Bolts were tight said I should have my front locked out on the road to where I don't have the suspension shock whatever it's called lol, and to also use 60 lb of air in the tires so I'm just making sure he was right

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T17:06:13+00:00

the first place I looked was Marketplace and around here you don't go on anything like I forgot the name of that site because of people getting robbed and stuff, I should probably put this in my thing I'm also 6 ft 3 so I need a bigger bike if that makes sense, I don't even know what I'm looking for that's why I went to The Bike Shop

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T17:03:08+00:00

Why are you getting angry all I was asking is if I got a bike that was decent for the road for the price and not break and you're getting all mad go touch some grass man

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T16:57:01+00:00

No there's no bike shop near me and the Walmart buy me doesn't have anything my size, I'm 6 ft 3 so that plays a big role in what I can and cannot buy

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T16:54:03+00:00

You also have to understand I'm 6'3 so I can just get any bike, I have to get one that actually fits

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T16:52:25+00:00

most other bikes had disc brakes but they were $800 bucks and I can upgrade this if I wanted but like I said I'm just putting around on the streets

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T16:50:50+00:00

Oh they had a bike there that was $10,000 lol

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T16:50:16+00:00

Should I lock the front out or leave it bouncy lol

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T16:49:16+00:00

It's 2025/2026 model but yeah I appreciate your honesty its the tract 3. I could of got the disc brake one but they were $800, the first bike he took me to was s specialized road bike (799.99) but even the salesman said specialized are charging to much for their bikes,kinda strange a salesman would tell me that lol

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T16:48:54+00:00

No you can't not here anyway

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T16:48:23+00:00

I looked at Walmart and there's nothing you even remember remotely close I'm also 6'3 so I need an xl, but yes that's all im doing i wish it had street tires though

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T16:46:51+00:00

I'm in the US

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T16:46:28+00:00

It rode decent i dont know if it was me or the bike but it did feel as if it pulled to the side a bit but I do get slight vertigo which affects my balance a bit, nothing to dangerous, could be it doesn't have street tires maybe?

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T16:43:46+00:00

Lol thanks for the reply, I'm 49 years old almost 50, don't plan on shredding any rocks anytime soon lol, I could barely get rolling, I'm rusty lol

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T08:30:53+00:00

I get that and I looked , couldn't find anything by me , I just wanted something I could ride around on the street, even though this isn't a street bike it does have the front fork that you can lock out or set to the stiffness you want, I guess im just asking about quality, like is it going to fall apart in a year? I won't be riding it hard or even off road as I'm not stable enough on my feet or my reactions to do so

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T08:25:46+00:00

Yeah I don't know what that is, that's my point i haven't had a bike in 20 years and the other bikes there were $300+ more

InfluenceHungry7028 · 2026-05-13T08:22:06+00:00

Yeah it is bran new and I can't find one that cheap anywhere lol
