I haven’t ridden my bike in a few months, but I’m about to move to a new city and I’d like to make my bike better. It’s basically a stock Surly Steamroller. If you were to swap parts to improve ride quality and ascetics what would you recommend?
Well I basically just want something I can use to ride around DC, because I won’t be able to have a car on campus. Comfort, practicality, and durability are my main concerns I guess.
And next time I have a ‘dumb question’ I’ll post it in that thread, but it’s too late to cry over spilt milk.
What don’t you like currently? If you don’t like the saddle, bars or pedals address those issue. Otherwise, I would be inclined to do nothing unless something wears out.
Hahah I mean I’ve ridden my bike in the past. I’m just currently living in a place that it isn’t very practical. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make myself sound so uneducated and noobish. I was just looking for some opinions.
dumb question:
would you guys double lock in a little shithole town where most bikes have cable locks?
i have a brute for it right now, but can be a little paranoid. right now i don’t leave my bikes out that long.
also little college towns smell like poop.
