Does buy a bike with a suspension fork already on it count? Otherwise, I bought a Lefty and it came with a Slate attached.😝
It must be. Even the Carbonda thread seems to have tanked.😝
I think you're referring to the Mario Cuomo Bridge. Ha ha. Seriously, though, it's nice here (I'm in the mid hudson valley). Pretty different from VT, where I'm originally from. Very different soil, for one thing, makes…
New England and the "Tristate Area" should be separate forums. New York doesn't align with New England...in oh so many ways. 🙂 What about the rest of the state north of the Tappan Zee?
Dumb question: did you ask WheelsMfg if they’re the same?

If you always answer the question “I wonder where that goes….?” you might be a gravel rider.
Heh. I once flatted about 57 miles into a 58 mile road ride. (I could almost see my house from where I was). FWIW, several manufacturers offer sunglasses with “cheaters” in them. I bought a pair from Tifosi for flying…

I’m sure it’s perfectly plausible for her to have her wrist behind the stem and her fingers in front of the headset spacers :
there's used bike shops stuffed /w decent road bikes under $500, and even something like a Triban RC120 is still $500. Yeah, but are they “full suspension”? Do they have an extra brake lever like the one he’s holding in…
Full suspension road bike! This is the gift that just keeps on giving. First up is the horrible handlebar position, but if you keep looking (each “style” has its own set of pictures), some of the pictures look like…

I have pads that work fine and rotors that work fine. I keep wondering if I used the new pads on the “good” rotors or the “good” pads on the new rotors if I can fix the problem….or just make more…🤨
