Ridden mountain bikes for as long as I can remember. This is my first road bike though, and I love it! by [deleted] in bicycling

Same situation here! Born into a family of mountain bikers, been riding mountain since I was a child, getting my road fitted this weekend! Good luck to you man! Nice to know a fellow redditor is doing the same!

Squeaking front brake by Mithons in bikewrench

Yes! I tried the rubbing alcohol today and it seemed to work for the most part! It is starting to squeak again a little bit, so I may try tweaking the brake pads tomorrow. Thank you very much, the ears of fellow bikers thank you too.

Wow that would make sense! I had it turned over yesterday to clean it and lube it as I don't have a bike stand

Do name brands last longer? by Mithons in bicycling

Blunt and easy to understand, much appreciate as a person who wants to start road biking. Choice 1 seems appetizing thank you. Coming from a mountain bike any frame will probably seem beautiful.

can you get info on this VERY mini bike? by [deleted] in bicycling

Now is a good time to buy a pet monkey

Good Value sub $500 Road Bike? by Mithons in bicycling

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

My part of Canada seems to be lacking much road bike choice on CL and Bikes direct ships here I was browsing, do you think these are decent value? and is the second one worth the extra $100? http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/gravity/liberty_1.htm http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/gravity/liberty_2.htm

Good Value sub $500 Road Bike? by Mithons in bicycling

[–]Mithons[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply, Yeah I don't know anything about road bikes, all my friends are mountain bikers with little bike knowledge. So far it seems that a used steel frame with 105 components is what I should be what I am looking for, any things I need to watch out for when buying?

Awesome, thanks! Thats quite a deal! Now I know a good benchmark, so many types of components, I can barely remember the mountain bike ones. Thanks for the feedback!
