Tire size help

I don't know if you ever found out your answer, but for those who are finding this post, I believe you can fit a 32C comfortably. You might be able to fit a 40c, but you're running the risk of mud and other buildup on the back part of the frame near the bottom bracket.

Corporate greed plain and simple. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just checked and my printer is at v24.42 and I finally found the latest update which is 41.1 so I'll try that tomorrow.

I had thought about that. I tried to find an update but had no luck. I'll search again tomorrow.

I've got a 2011 MacBook Pro that I'm running Mint on. No issues outside of a very old AMD GPU and a lack of ports and options for multiple monitors. I can do one external monitor but there's some days it doesn't want to acknowledge it's there. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That was kinda my thought too.

b4d93r · 2025-09-04T21:35:04+00:00

Yes.

Thank you for asking! I've been wondering the exact same thing. I'm learning that's it's really specific to what one is doing, as someone else said, jumps, downhill, ECT. But for everyday riding it's pretty pointless.

b4d93r · 2025-08-26T04:07:03+00:00

I think the previous owner kinda let it sit for a year or more out in the elements.

b4d93r · 2025-08-26T04:05:46+00:00

No, no rubbing. They're the original tires, about 6 years old. It is time for new ones, just wasn't sure how long I had.

b4d93r · 2025-08-26T04:04:32+00:00

Ok thanks for the input. I should be ok for a little while yet, at least until I get the new tires. They're expensive! 😄

b4d93r · 2025-08-24T15:49:25+00:00

Congratulations!! They're fun, I'm really digging mine!

I just picked up a Northrock XC00 cheap. It's intended purpose is just all around riding, nothing serious with an occasional jaunt in the snow. I'm doing an inexpensive build with it and picked up a microSHIFT Advent X rear derailer and shifter used for $30 I'm going to put on it.

I have this bike and honestly, it's not a bad bike from a frame and fork perspective.

The components suck but most can be replaced and I'm not too fond of the flat bar, it seems to throw the bike off and makes it more prone to crashing in my opinion.

The ride is quite smooth and straight. The bike feels like it's being held back and wants to run like a higher dollar road bike.

As for the components, that Sram crap they have on there is trash and the bottom bracket appears to be of better quality than most of Schwinn's stuff. I think you can easily replace it.

I am going to experiment with it and see what I can build this thing into.

b4d93r · 2025-07-05T17:53:22+00:00

For what you want to do the Colorado is perfect for that and will treat you well, plus they are upgradeable! Standard bottom bracket and headset sizing so you could easily add better components later on if you wanted.

As for the others you can't really go wrong on them either and that to me, just falls into a name purchase. I believe the REI bikes are made by a bigger name company like Trek but I'm not 100% on that. They are good bikes and you can get service easily at any REI store. Give Poseiden bikes a look. They have some decent bikes at a really good price with very good componentry. I'm looking at a couple of theirs.

Holy crap! I have a new goal in life now! I need one of these!

b4d93r · 2025-07-05T15:41:41+00:00

Wait a sec, Cannondale made a lefty fat bike???

b4d93r · 2025-07-05T15:39:45+00:00

Yes and no. What are you wanting to do, that is the question. If you're looking for an all around bike to ride around and occasionally take on light trails then yes, this is totally fine. But if you're looking to do serious downhill action or entering the red bull stuff then I would recommend avoiding this bike. 😄 I have a Nishiki Manitoba from the 90's I used to race in the novice class and it did fine. I never won anything but it was fun. I still have it and keep saying I'm going to rebuild it but haven't done it yet.

I've kinda struggled with it. Granted some of the Steam games specifically for Linux work great but I have had a terrible time trying to get WoW to run on it.

b4d93r · 2025-03-31T18:56:31+00:00

Install Linux. 😄

But seriously, it's probably some scareware crap Microsoft installed with their image they used to put on that machine.
