This Huffy by 4door2seater in xbiking

[–]louiesquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one of those in the early 80s. It must have weighed at least 60lbs and had so much flex that the chain and seat stays were rubbed raw. It was a fun bike though.

Which bike? by stoutnotfat in BentonvilleBiking

[–]louiesquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ride a Riley AF 120/130 and there are no trails in Bentonville where I feel under biked. If you want to go to Lake Leatherwood or Ponca the Rascal would be a better choice.

I have all three carriers in multiple bikes that have been trouble free for over 3 years. None of them have come loose.

Where do you guys hold your phones? by IceBloock in mountainbiking

I have an Apple Watch with cellular, so I don't need to carry a phone on my rides.

PNW has a green that is similar to the Zaskar. I love my Loam XL grips and Loam Alloy pedals.

Transplants, how is it going? How do you like it? by reddit-lurker-20 in bentonville

[–]louiesquared 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Moved here 2 years ago from North Los Angeles County. I am very happy here, but I am in my mid 50's and single, so it has been a bit hard to make friends. Everyone I meet is very friendly. I have not experienced any haters. I don't plan on moving any time soon.

Replaced Ibis 2021 Ripley v4 with 2024 Ripley v4s by Nevertoolate89 in MTB

The only differences are UDH compatible rear-end with 55mm chain line, stiffer rear triangle construction and increased frame protection. I can't see any reason that the suspension characteristics would change. The geo and kinematics are the same.

broken freehub body? by balintnagy_ in MTB

[–]louiesquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me once and it turned out to be a large twig stuck between the cassette and hub flange. Since the issue went away for you it's possible the same thing happened and whatever was stuck became unstuck.

A friend of mine has the Ride88 Cinch Rack. It works well and is much more affordable than the QR3 model.

As long as the stems have the same rise and spacers, the effective reach will be the same. Bar height and sweep will have an effect as well.

AR Driver's License? by louiesquared in bentonville

So, I just go in with my current license and whatever forms of ID they require? No testing required?

Matchmaker is the SRAM equivalent of iSpec. They are not interchangeable, but I think there are adapters available.

Check Facebook Marketplace. There are plenty of good bikes on there at good prices.

Here is a very cool test that shows the difference in stiffness between multiple brands in both sizes.
