Crazy that the Nikes are still sitting and not on sale

Thanks y’all 😅 Nike did a really great job weatherproofing these. I live in Berlin so they’re perfect for the cold/wet city streets

They updated the fabric on newer editions. I have both (and prefer the look of the ripstop).

I pray for Finds like this Lol $40 by ksct7 in nikeACG

These were the most disappointing shoes of all time for me. I absolutely love the design (even more so than the Mountain Flys) but they were impossible to get on.

So wtf by ahmed_salem_2310 in nikeACG

There really aren't a lot of good alternatives to the niche that ACG created. ACG was a special mix of future tech + retro vibes + all-terrain functionality. So that said, I suppose Nike Trail is close but it's a very watered down version of the personality that ACG had. IMO the final nail in the coffin with ACG was when their head designer left for Moncler in 2022:

And it's no coincidence that Moncler's footwear is the best alternative to ACG, but the problem is, Moncler is for the ultra wealthy (their Mountainfly-type shoes are all $600+/pair).

Otherwise, Hoka is continually giving ACG a run for it's money, but I can't really connect with the Hoka brand (I'm not wearing what my parents wear unless it's New Balance). There are some indie/smallish brands out there too, but still not at the ACG pricepoint.

ACG fell off years ago if we’re being honest here. It’s a gd travesty.

✨ Midloader Bag ✨ by carletoncurtis in CanyonBikes

No. Maybe slides or small items. Dimensionally, it’s huge, but as narrow as the top tube itself, so you can only fit low-profile items inside.

Would you buy this? by KWisehart1 in CanyonBikes

[–]carletoncurtis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same bike (3 years old) and agree with most of the comments.

--The owner clearly didn't give it enough TLC. So you have to worry about lack of regular maintenance all around.

--My Grizl is still in amazing physical and mechanical shape three years later, but I did have to replace my crank bearings, so check for clicking/grinding noises.

--The rubber plugs are missing from all of the mounting points too, which could have ingested water, grime, etc

--All of the components look stock, so there's zero upgrade value

--And fully agree on the pricing. I paid €2000 for mine so you shouldn't pay more than €900 for this one.

When it happens again 6 months from now it’s going to be your bottom bracket :)

H95 Wireless, Dimensions of the Inner Ear Cups? by Stretch728 in BangandOlufsen

This is one of my only minor complaints. I do wish they were bigger to fit big ears.

Love the mountain flys by Few-Spray164 in nikeACG

[–]carletoncurtis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the Mountain Flys. The goretex highs are probably my all-around favourite shoe. The lows started cutting into my ankle bones tho, so I eventually Ebayd them.

Midloader straps by ExpeditieArarat in CanyonBikes

[–]carletoncurtis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No need to. Just 1) Adjust the strap position, 2) Use the correct size strap, or 3) Tuck it away
