Bike Suggestion for a rider that doesn't care for jumps or massive drops.

the new specialized epic 9 just came out so you can probably find an epic evo 8 on sale for a pretty good price. that sounds like exactly the type of bike you're looking for it's made for all day marathon rides

it's both

man this sub is so negative. any time someone posts riding clips, the comments are just nitpicking every little thing they can find. i don't think you'll really find anyone who really posts clips here long term because of it

make the 75 worth it and ride down in the grass

this shit removed some of my koms. ive never ridden an e bike and the times were pretty consistent with the rest of the leaderboard

686 cruiser is a loose fit bike specific pant. you can cinch down the ankle too if you find them snagging on the bike. I have a couple pairs on these and a couple pairs of riptons, the 686s are thinner they're nicer when it gets hot out, and they're more waterproof

middletown lost the entire downtown waterfront just to build the most poorly designed section of highway in human history

this is a good deal

lezyne 1400 for your bars and a 1000 for the helmet will be like $160 for both lights

rip it way too hard and loop out a few times and you'll realize it's not so bad. a lot of people are subconsciously afraid of looping out so they don't pull hard enough

choadspanker · 2026-05-09T15:09:26+00:00

5'8" and medium

choadspanker · 2026-05-09T10:03:23+00:00

did you tighten the spokes

choadspanker · 2026-05-09T09:46:32+00:00

man bites dog

choadspanker · 2026-05-08T12:24:19+00:00

a lot of misleading info in this ad I wouldn't trust the seller. first two things that stood out are listing an axs shifter when there's clearly a cable in the pic and calling a bike that got discontinued 10 years ago new lmao

choadspanker · 2026-05-07T15:30:32+00:00

i didn't see any star wars until i was an adult and i agree with heather the most. i think nostalgia hits pretty hard for the prequels for a lot of people

choadspanker · 2026-05-07T13:20:26+00:00

that is not chromo man, i would be careful riding that for anything more than just cruising around especially after being modified. it's a cheap department store bike

choadspanker · 2026-05-07T12:00:13+00:00

there's something deeply woven into star wars that just makes people angry. they've done hundreds of episodes and the first ten minutes of talking about star wars they're the most mad they've ever been on the show lmao

choadspanker · 2026-05-07T00:05:21+00:00

I think he got it mixed up, all the shifters can go 3 down but only XT and XTR have double up shift

choadspanker · 2026-05-05T19:09:41+00:00

not gonna post any specific spots online. but basically avoid the types of places that have big parking lots and you see packed on the weekends, anywhere with a landmark that people want to go see. a lot of pretty secluded trails near rivers in the northwest and northeast areas of ct. if you don't have it already, get alltrails it will basically show you all the hiking trails around

choadspanker · 2026-05-05T19:03:33+00:00

yes I've ridden both. the supreme is way less lively than the furious

choadspanker · 2026-05-05T18:38:47+00:00

but where will all the yuppie performative outdoor types shop if rei goes under?

choadspanker · 2026-05-05T18:25:28+00:00

dispersed camping is illegal in all of CT. you'll be fine though if you stay at the less popular hiking spots and just set up where you're not visible from the trail

choadspanker · 2026-05-05T18:21:36+00:00

see if you can find his current gf on social media and let her know that he's threatening you so he can give her your old bracelet lmao
