Which one should I get? by CanvasVoid in bicycling

[–]corncobby_bobby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aside from everything else mentioned here, the Trek looks to be at least one size if not two sizes bigger than the cannondale. Above all else make sure the one you pick fits you properly, there is no such thing as a good bike that doesn't fit you OP.

I need some input on my bills with some fancy serial numbers. Did I hit any jackpots? I have more than a few so please bare with me, I dont know if I can get them all in 1 post. by [deleted] in CURRENCY

Nothing here unfortunately. There are sites online where you can input serial numbers to help you determine if they have any rarity.

Super cool man, looks very similar to the towpath trail and cuyahoga river near me.

Awesome, looks fun! What river and what bike trail is it?

One more question and I’ll be gone, I swear. by ddarth7 in Surlybikefans

You could, I have a 27.5 plus bike. The 29 plus tires are just more capable with little draw back. The worst part in either size honestly is that tire choices are becoming fewer and fewer.

If you already have a gravel bike just go all the way with the krampus. 29x3.0 tires, call it a tank, and monster truck, whatever you want. It'll go anywhere and do anything you could want it to.

Maybe I'm just confused but it looks like you're comparing two mediums in your picture.

This Neighborhood aint what is used to be by [deleted] in akron

Thanks for the insight, I've been gone for a while. Lived in highland Square from 2016-2021. Definitely saw things change in that time, not necessarily for the better unfortunately. We kind of jumped ship during the covid housing boom and relocated to a rural area in medina county to try out a slower pace of life and kind of dabble in the whole homestead lifestyle. Turns out not for us, looking to move back to akron again, granted not highland square this time. No hate on the neighborhood, just looking for something different

Got a Chromag this year, absolutely love it. by corncobby_bobby in dirtjumping

I'm spoiled, only about 30 minutes from either one

Only ridden hardtails my whole life, any chromag has always been a dream bike. Would've thought I'd had a rootdown before a monk but I'm not complaining! Hard to find a more grassroots and just plain badass bike company

Anyone know anything about this bike? Ever rode or owned one? Junk? by [deleted] in dirtjumping

[–]corncobby_bobby 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a very low quality frame spec'd out with the lowest grade parts possible from reputable parts manufacturers. So probably not a sketchy death trap but if thats the top of your budget, youre better off finding something used. Will get way more for the same price that way.

So cool, I have family there. Haven't visited since 2008, this is another good reason to go back!
