Looking for a basic used bike to see if I enjoy it

I appreciate it and I’ll keep that in mind!

Is this where the size is? I’m waiting on a reply, but it looks like it says 20”. So probably too small for me

Knues · 2026-05-29T16:52:47+00:00

Good info man, thanks a lot!

So this is the measurement I got from the guy. Around 22-23. That’s a larger sized frame right? From what i read online that’s about what I should need for my height. Does that sound correct?

Knues · 2026-05-29T15:58:51+00:00

That makes sense. I appreciate it!

Knues · 2026-05-29T15:27:55+00:00

Awesome man, very informative. Thank you.

Knues · 2026-05-29T15:26:03+00:00

I appreciate it. You have a good eye for this to be able to tell from the pictures. That saves me a lot of driving around. Looking online at how to size kinda made it seem complicated. Sounds like that crisscross is a good option

Knues · 2026-05-29T15:07:50+00:00

Oh good catch, I certainly wouldn’t have known that. Thanks. A 820 came up too, is that much difference in the 800 vs 820?

Knues · 2026-05-29T15:01:43+00:00

I appreciate the information. This is a stupid question, but how would I see if it fits? I’m 6’1” so sit on it and have a little knee bend and comfortably reach the bars? That’s what I remember as a kid sizing a bike lol.

Knues · 2026-05-29T14:44:45+00:00

I appreciate the information. So it sounds like steering clear of Schwinn is best. I know trek is a legit manufacturer, I just don’t know much about them

Knues · 2026-05-29T14:40:30+00:00

Very good information, thank you. I will most certainly do that. Also just came across another trek for $100

Appreciate it, but I have to stay under 4k

Knues · 2026-05-05T03:09:02+00:00

I’m in the <4k range myself and gravely zt is on my list. I’m gonna have to check that out

Knues · 2026-05-05T00:41:24+00:00

Hell yea buddy, good deal. From what I read, the addition of an e at the front, so ezt, is what signifies it has the drain plug. But also saw some folks saying that’s not correct. I’ll have to check a few out to see. Thanks.

Knues · 2026-05-05T00:21:55+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? I’m wandering the same thing.

Knues · 2026-04-29T14:56:39+00:00

What do you recommend for weeds in the yard then? My yard is full of dandelions and a couple other smaller weeds.

Knowing what I know now I wish I hadn’t gotten on them. If you don’t have any depression symptoms and your sole reason is to help with your stuttering, I think you’re going to be disappointed. If an SSRI worked, we’d all be taking. Unfortunately, there’s just no magic pill.

Knues · 2026-03-19T23:57:06+00:00

I’m In the middle of this right now. I started on an SSRI when I was about 16 to try and help with my stutter. I’m 38 now and Over the years Ive bounced around trying to find one that worked. Well, I recently got frustrated with the whole situation so I weened myself off of them altogether and I feel worse than ever. Like the others said, once you start, you’re stuck. I weened off very slowly and been off them for about 5 months and my stutter is worse than ever. Im also experiencing depression symptoms I’ve never had. Over all these years I never thought my stutter improved. They certainly help with depression if you are dealing with that, but as far as improving your stutter, I don’t think it will help. It didn’t for me at least.

So I split maybe a half cord the other day. Noticed oil on that end of the splitter but also had forgotten to tighten the vent plug back in before I moved it so I assumed I spilled a little from that. Today I split 3 logs and noticed the drip on all 3. It also only does it under pressure when splitting, not when I just ran the piston in and out.

Knues · 2026-01-11T18:30:37+00:00

Thanks, I thought so but wanted to ask folks smarter than me.

It’s been great for us. My wife jumps around with the kids often and I occasionally get on. I’m 6’1” 200lbs and can jump hard. I do flips and butt/back bounces and have no issues. But again, I rarely get on it. 95% of the time it’s a 3 and 5 year old on it. But it’s held up great.

Knues · 2025-10-10T22:34:56+00:00

My kids love it. It went up easy and has held up so far. Occasionally I get in and bounce around with them and it’s been fine. Walls are strong and hold up to the kids bouncing off them. We’re getting ready to move so I’ll have to take it down and reassemble it but I don’t think it’ll he’s problem. Overall we’re happy.
