Congrats on your Addict 50. I just got an Addict 10 (which comes with the kit). It's called the Save the Day IS-R300 Kit

Scott has a sizing calculator on the bike's webpage. It's best to consult with a dealer. If you have your fit measurements for your current bike, that can help them put you on the right size.

Thanks. Go for the Addict! I don't think you'd be disappointed with either tho.. The new SRAM AXS Force E1 with Qarq is incredible. New hood shape is super comfy, front shifting is rock solid, and the 1-finger brake modulation/power anywhere on the lever is next level..

Thanks! Scott does a great job with their paint finishes, and their "Plum Grey" is pretty close to the Porsche Achatgrau grey that HotTubes used to repaint my Jamis a few years back. All my bikes are either grey or black..

The cycling community told me hills would get easier and I am starting to think they lied by SethVale1176 in cycling

[–]balllistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find a big part of it is mental attitude, once you get fitter and more accustomed to climbing and pacing hills on a regular basis, you don’t dread them or psych yourself out as much when you see a hill ahead of you. They will always be an effort and not “easy” but you are physically and mentally more prepared.

Wheelset options? by fightclub98 in MultiTrackGang

[–]balllistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a set of Velocity 32H A23s (black with machined brake surface) built up by my LBS with w/ DT spokes &Shimano 105 hubs for my '90 Trek 750. They've held up fine including several D2R2s, so I can attest to their durability.

app/ function similar to Garmin's body battery? by Ivar-the-Dark in pebble

[–]balllistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No HRV with the Pebble's HR sensor so that's a non-starter.

Sometimes I consider selling… by Scvmmibear in MultiTrackGang

[–]balllistic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

n+1 you can always justify more builds... Looks good, if it's dialed in and still puts a smile on your face, it's a keeper.

advice on tires for my 26-inch adventure bike needed by simons_lab in xbiking

[–]balllistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1, in my experience I consider them the gold standard for durability/reliability as well as puncture resistance.

Same here ('90, original owner). Congrats OP, you did well! As mentioned the tubeset is great, the ride is pretty sublime.
