I have a Giant MB but most of my rides are on a Specialized Allez Elite. I've done a century on it but probably not in that shape right now. Could go 60 pretty easily. In a box waiting to be built is a full carbon Neil Pryde Diablo which I hope to get started on one day. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I have a Specialized Cross Trail that is the perfect balance of on and off road for me. It's a hybrid, so it's built more like a mountain bike (front shocks, disk brakes, upright stance) but has more street efficient tires and wheels. So it's very efficient on the road, but does pretty good on trails too (packed dirt, gravel, etc). Also pretty light with all aluminum frame. I can take some photos if there's any demand...
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
...After several hours of cleaning, disassembling, lubricating and re-assembly, I had a near functional bicycle and a list of parts that would be required to make Mr. Giant operational once again. 3 days later, a box of parts (Amazon) arrived...
Here you go Bobby
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Your opinion on "Slime" in the tubes of said bike tires?
I managed to get one good ride in before my latest back injury. My son and I went to a local state park and rode some trails there. I can tell you that the full suspension makes a big difference when compared to a rigid-frame bike. I did manage to get the rear disk brakes quieted down but the front still howled un-acceptably, particularly on long downhills. I think pad replacement might be necessary. I'll try one last cleaning of the pads and disk and try to resurface the disk with an orbital sander.
