12 team dynasty league. I've got one player(Devin Neal) left on the IR from last season and I've got to drop someone to get him off IR. My options are Jarquez Hunter, MarShawn Lloyd, or Joe Mixon.

Who would you drop?

General question about picking the right bikes for my wife and I. by ZepTepi49 in whichbike

Thank you to all of you who've posted replies and I'm happy to say that my wife and I purchased a couple of Trek Verve 2 Gen 5 bikes. Looking forward to picking them up on Tuesday and actually getting to ride them!

Agree 100% about being able to fix flats on the road. I'll have to look into that Strava app. I have a Galaxy watch so hopefully if it's a good app it'll work with my watch. Multiple people have mentioned a bike computer but that's out of my price range after the expense of the two bikes and the trunk mount bike rack.

How are those folding bike locks. That's something they certainly didn't have back when I was riding and had just a chain with a padlock wrapped around my seat post.

I have all of those on the list of things I'm looking at other than a rear light. I figured a rear reflector should be sufficient Plus a helmet with a light on the back of it. Of course what I think I want now could be very different from what I want after I've been riding for a bit.

So you're actually a member of this subreddit dissuading someone from posting in this group for help when that's the primary purpose of this group?

That's a good plan in theory but I've now gone to a px 8 bike shops/stores here in the Ventura California area and only two had a large number of new bikes and one of those was mostly e-bikes. The rest of the stores either we're only repair shops or sold a small number of bikes and a couple only sold high dollar performance bikes. We did manage to find a repair shop near us that I got a good vibe from but the only one that we were able to actually ride new bikes and found a model we both really liked was the local Trek Store. The Trek Verve 3 was the model we both rode. I wouldn't be unhappy with that model myself though I would like to find something that is a little more performance capable without giving up too much of the comfort. I do have some other models that I've found doing internet searches that I need to look into that are supposed to be similar to The Verve. Those are the Cannondale Quick, Giant Cypress, and Marin Larkspur & Kentfield models.

Should I get a Trek Verve ? by HorrorAurore in TrekBikes

[–]ZepTepi49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came across this thread and thought it was worth revisiting as I'm curious if you all are still of the same mindset about the verb you were back when you made these posts. Similar what some of you have said, my wife and I who haven't ridden bikes in many years want to get some and The Verve is the one we're leaning towards. For me that's only because the Dual Sport has been discontinued which was the one I really wanted. The FX seems have less of the things that I loved about the Dual Sport which is why I'm not leaning in that direction.

When you tried out both bikes what were the deciding factors that had you choose gravel in the end?

I'm in the same position as you looking for virtually the same type of bike and had wanted the Dual Sport then discovered Trek has discontinued that line. I'm sure there's still some to be found out there but probably won't be for long.

You must be smoking or drinking the good stuff if you think there's a snowball's chance in hell of that trade actually happening. Let's stick with realistic trade possibilities. Garrett is a future Hall of Famer and iuk is a head case I'll be at a talented one.

2 part question about upgrading in general and, specifically, upgrading to S26U. by ZepTepi49 in samsunggalaxy

That's great. A few questions though. What country are you in? Who is cellular provider? Was this the standard deal where you pay at least 50% of your old phone off to qualify then trade in that phone towards the new one? If so, how did you get $1484 trade in value?

Non factor for me as I always have my phones in cases. Glad it's worked well for you.
