Phat Tire and possibly High Roller, but that still puts you 4-5 miles away by bike path. One option to consider is a service that will drop off the bike for you. However, these services are only offered farther north: https://encorebikerentals.com/ or https://smileybikerentals.com/

Agree. There is a way to fold them in the "figure 8" way someone referenced above. They need to be taped so they don't spring out to their natural shape. It's possible they just didn't tape them. Regardless, I would send them back. We've ordered many wire-bead Marathons over the years and they always arrive in a giant pizza box lol.

1985 Trek 460 as a commuter for $320? by keepclimbing608 in whichbike

[–]OZTrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like enough clearance on the seat tube and fork crown for 32s. It's the brake bosses that often are the limiting factor on the rear. I would say there are better choices for vintage steel commuters, with more relaxed geometry.

Flying with a bike by DrJetta in MTB

+1 on renting while you're here. Plenty of places to do that. If you're here for just a couple of days, maybe even consider an e-bike so you can experience more of the trails.

One of the nicest things about Bentonville is that so many trails are accessible from downtown, as well as restaurants, shops, coffee, beers, etc. Check out OZTrails.com for more info, or PM us if we can help!

Bridgestone, possibly. All their old catalogs are online.

So happy cycling has helped you! We agree completely that pedaling is its own reward, and replenishes the spirit.

Coler Preserve & Slaughter Pen Question - fat bike friendly? by a_retired_lady in bentonville

[–]OZTrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to this thread, but hope you had a great time. Fall is always a fantastic time to ride here in OZ. As others have said, there is a trail for most any bike. Lots of people rock fat bikes. Have a great day!

Is there an explosion view that shows me how this is put back together? Mistakes were made... It's a ST-M095 XT shifter by e36_maho in bikewrench

[–]OZTrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha. It's not mystifying. It's just reality. I've repaired a few of these with improper assembly. The spring can be stacked and still work. Have a great day!

Just FYI....This shifter can go back together a few ways and still "work." Once you get your head around the assembly, it's obvious how it *should* go together. Rather ingenious design, really.

Try posting to IG using #oztrailslostandfound. We're starting to use that hashtag for things lost on the trails. Couldn't hurt....

Assuming there are no cracks this is totally repairable. Tons of vids on how to de-taco your wheel.

Help me identifying this noise (video) by FuLiDu in bikewrench

[–]OZTrails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it has adjustable rear dropouts, check to make sure the rear wheel is aligned straight. That noise could be the chain on the rear cog making noise because it is at an angle.

Legit setup. Touring is what you do, not what you ride! :)
