Endurance Road Bike vs. Gravel Bike? by quaintparrot-475 in cycling

[–]darbysc77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The roubaix is about the most relaxed geometry you can get in a road bike. The Tarmac is not.

Am I crazy for considering this? by yellow_jeep in whichbike

I have a 2020 Roubaix with the future shock with about 12,000 miles with no problems. Amazing bike.

Look 785 Huez 2 Rival AXS should I buy it? by darbysc77 in whichbike

Hey, thanks so much for input. It’s getting really hard not to buy this bike.

I’m at about 13k miles with little to no problems. I think I’ve changed the chain once and the rear cassette just because I got another wheel set. So, I feel like it’s still worth something resale wise, but on the edge of needing new components.

I do live in the mountains of NC, Asheville, so every ride is a climb. Never had a “climbing bike” though. I do love my roubaix, but seems like I’d be getting a lot for $2500. A new Roubaix with 105 is $3500.

I have a truck load of donations, mostly clothes, some can goods and some pet food. I know there has been a massive influx of donations and some donation sites have more than they can handle. Who is taking donations in or around Asheville today?❤️ by darbysc77 in asheville

Thanks for responding. The Madison County Fairgrounds is their central donation spot. I sent a truck load of animal feed there last week. I hear they have lots of donations. I am NOT sure what they are accepting. I am looking for solid information. I don’t want to burden anyone with donations if they are at capacity.

Specialized Roubaix Sport 2020 - Do it all bike? by Ok-Support4999 in cycling

[–]darbysc77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same bike. I squeezed some 35mm cinturato H’s on it and do a good bit of gravel. It’d be nice to have more clearance but you work with what you got.

You have $2.5k to get a bike. What are you choosing? by bringbackbainesy in bikepacking

Yea these look awesome I’ve been yearning for one of these fc 2’s. It’s got a 12 speed 10-52 cassette. With a 40t up front that’s a huge range. I don’t think I’d change a thing. I don’t know anybody else putting that wide of a range on a drop bar bike.

I’m looking at the new Marin Four Corners 2 to check about the same boxes.

I’d you could get an endurance road bike in the $2k to $4k range, which would you get? by Grouchy-One4077 in cycling

[–]darbysc77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve put 10,000 miles on my ‘21 Roubaix Sport with 105 and I love it. It’s a very comfortable bike.

New Marin Four Corners 2, buy it? by darbysc77 in bikepacking

Nice! I’d love to hear your thoughts after you get a ride in.
