Needed new tires and accidentally bought 2.4s. I had been running 1.95s, I think? Things are fat, but I like them. Made sure I put them on before I blew them up. No way they woulda made it past the break pad.

You got rear suspension on that thing?

Nope, just the front. Thing is old school. I air down in the woods, but I don't really know any better. I've had this thing forever.

I’ve ridden both, and I much prefer hard tail. So much more control around right turns.

What kind of elevation are you doing on these rides? I suspect where you are isn’t very flat. I did 50km with 550 metres of elevation and that is about perfect for me. Happy to go up to 80km but not much more on elevation.

Na bud, I'm back in the prairies. I climbed 30 meters while the gps was on during that one lol. BUT we do have wind out here which you don't. It's not uncommon for us to face up to 50km headwinds. Was gusting at 70 one day a week ago.

I get some headwinds by the ocean and when I bike through some farmland. I'll take the elevation thanks. There's at least an end in sight to it.

My wife just got a bike and now is on me about getting one so we can go on rides together. Anyone got a good rec on a bike under 1000 to just go on lighter intensity rides? I'd also use it for a short office commute.

Impressive all on its own but even more with the 21km run the day before. Don’t your legs ever need a rest?

I actually wanted to go for 150 that day but my buddy ate some bad sushi and said he was gonna puke. I've been a pretty good place physically these days. Just my right ankle doing some bullshit.
