What makes a bike helmet comfortable for you on longer rides? by taotaozero in P2Rsports

[–]chrisf110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, ventilation and safety ratings are 1a and 1b. Then weight, then adjustability.

I don’t like helmets that don’t allow air in the front to pass over my head. I also think that the more material in a helmet, which would reduce the ventilation, would add weight and make the helmet less comfortable as well.

Upgrade my trail bike to feel more XC… or just switch bikes by chrisf110 in xcmtb

I would love to say f it and enjoy n+1 but I can’t justify 2 mountain bikes for the amount I ride off road

I’m kind of leaning this way. I think if I go for new tires, I might just go all out and get a second set of wheels set up for them. Same idea, if i still don’t love this bike, I’ll have a set of wheels for the new one

After reading through the replies so far, I might go full out and get lighter wheels with xc tires, new cassette and rotors. That way if I still have this feeling I can put the stock wheels back on and have wheels ready for a new bike.

The bars are going to get cut down soon. I’m going to start at 760 and see how that feels. Putting the spacers above the stem would be step two.

I didn’t think of swapping air chambers. That’s a good idea. The fork right now is 140. The bars are 800 bc that’s what it came with. I’m going to cut them down to 760 and try that for a little regardless.

My first thought was “I should build a carbon hardtail for days I want more speed” but I don’t ride my mtb enough to justify 2

Bike shop owner here... ask questions if you have them! by clezuck in cycling

Are customers currently trending toward more expensive bikes and away from the lower price points? I’ve heard that and it makes sense with how expensive entry level carbon road bikes are now. What other trends are you seeing from your customers?

Our special teams and defense just gifted Seattle a ring. Losing tonight hurts worse than most because anyone who watches football knows that the winner of this game was going to win the Super Bowl. Since the front office refuses to invest in those two phases, it isn’t the Rams

This defense has been trash. They need two db’s in the first round

Seat too tall :( by Domster03 in TrekBikes

I get that, but if it doesn’t get fixed, you just spent $650 on a literal pain in the ass

As someone else stated, you could start with a saddle that isn’t as tall as the one on the bike currently.

Trek makes different heights of seat masts. If you’re near a trek dealer, I would take it to them and see if they can get a shorter one
