If you don’t buy this you’re a dummy
The joke is that he’s the only person defending cantis
Alas, no, and I can show you exhibits 1 through 6 that he’s not the only crazy person out there.
I Like Cantis And I Am Not Ashamed
Yes you are. Otherwise you wouldn’t have to tell us you weren’t.
Let’s say I lived near a big bmx track and also a dirt jump (pump track?) thing. What bike would I want for this, given that I’m six and a half feet tall? Am I looking at a 24" wheel? 26"? Can I buy something or put something together for a few hundred bucks?
For reference, it’s this place, which also has a gated bmx racetrack:
(nevernoodles)
Dummy confirmed.
As someone who is almost 6 and a half feet tall, not a very good jumper, and knows nothing about that place, I’d recommend a 26er dj bike.
That saddle
26" dirt jump it is. I assume that a 20" wheel bmx bike would basically fit me like a glorified unicycle
I decided like ten years ago that I was too old to get into DJ even though there’s a pretty sweet jump park a few miles from my house.
I don’t have a need for a 26" bike with rim brakes but I am drawn to that
I’m sure a bunch of first responders will be shoveling my mangled carcass off the jump track after my first attempt at catching some air, but until then, I’m in the market for a super cheap 26" type deal
Swiss Cross disc v1
I don’t ride cross (yet?), but i’m looking for something that will feel/be faster than my DayRuiner for my regular road + bike path + forrest road routes. Ideally this same bike would be rando-able, and no fender mounts on the Swiss Cross doesn’t help with that idea.
650EUR: New, includes frame, fork, headset
Good
- Specs say it fits up to 40c
- disc
- I like it
Bummer
- QR
- QR
- no fender mounts
- 63mm BB drop?
Talk me out of this Tarck.
I’ve talked with Braden a bit and my fit on the new Wiggle bike would be in the ~5cm spacer category (unless I do a + rise stem, I guess). Fairlight Strael in a tall fit would be more suitable, but both of those options are 2x this price.
Also bummer: looks like it’s post-mount for disc calipers.
missed that. But I guess on the positive note, #onelessadapter
