    Stolen! Orbea Wild 2023 -

    How do your politicians, dignatiries and mucky mucks stay safe? With a handshake, hope and prayer...lol? Pretty sure they are very well protected. You do whatever you want...or are ALLOWED to do. There are cookoos everywhere. I'd rather be allowed to protect my family than beg for help that may...

    Yeah...you keep beating that losing drum. It's the reason the United States was founded. Tyranny.

    Stolen! Orbea Wild 2023 -

    What's really fucking pathetic is people making excuses for crimes and criminals. Oh, his life is worth more than a bike. The criminal makes the decisiopn what his life is worth. It's REAL simple...don't be a criminal. And, if you don't want to get your life ended, follow the law and let people be.

    Stolen! Orbea Wild 2023 -

    I was talking in a much broader context than stealing a frigging $8,000 bike. Such as if a home is broken into etc... If I'm riding and someone tries to steal my bike...first place they'll probably get the ass kicked...secondly, I would never shoot someone over stealing a bike a bike...

    Stolen! Orbea Wild 2023 -

    I forgot...guns walk around killing people. You frigging people who think there aren't nut cases out there baffle me. And the US unfortunately has more than it's share of unresponsible idiots. You can walk around unarmed all you like. As for me...I'll take my chances armed. And, if god forbid...

    Or, not enough people. I'd rather have people never be a victim...and I'd rather never have repeat offenders...just dead offenders.

    I'm confused...how do you know mileage on a bike???

    For all these bikes without display these days, how do we know what the mileage is? Do you have to run an app? If you buy a new bike...how do you know it's really a zero mile bike? Can you disable the app to show less miles? I'm buying a new Trek with no display. Who keeps track of the actual...

    Stolen! Orbea Wild 2023 -

    Wow, that is horrible. Friggin scum. Hope they get caught.and you get your bike back. I store my bikes in my basement. So, if they want them, they better be able to dodge a .45 cal...which is doubtful. Maybe all will turn out well and the theif will get hit by a bus.

    headphones.. (inear) when riding mt

    I have tried a couple times to listen to music while riding. At the end of the day, I noticed I couldn't even remeber hearing the music. I am too busy watching the trail and not smoking into a tree or bouncing off a rock or root to even listen. If I REALLY tried to lsten to the music, I rode...

    Suntour suspension...any good?

    I highly doubt the suspension they were on is anything resembling what is on that Bulls bike. Possibly the same ST sticker and that's about it.

    Suntour suspension...any good?

    Yeah, decided against getting the Bulls even though it's at a really good price. Just can't get past the suspension. Pretty sure a busted face or broken arm isn't worth the risk. And, it may be just fine or it may be horrible suspension. Either way, not worth it.

    Suntour suspension...any good?

    All wooded single track is what I ride here in Wisconsin. No huge hits, just semi agressive trail stuff.

    Suntour suspension...any good?

    Looking at a bike with full Suntour suspension and I have real reservations about it. The price is decent for the bike, but just can't get past the ST stuff. Fork is a 36RC2 and the shock is a RS129 Trailair 3CR, of which I have zero knowledge of this stuff. Just know that ST is put on as a...

    Full Face - When do you decide to wear one?

    I wear a Fox Proframe when it is a bit chilly out or if I know I am going to a place where the risks are higher. Otherwise I wear a Dropframe or a Speedframe. On cold winter rides, I wear a full face MX helmet.

    Rear derailuer is broke...help please

    Yup...I think you guys are 100% correct. It looked like it came loose. I figured something broke, but it may just have come loose by the screw backing out. Gonna try to fix it tonight. Thanks for the replies.

    Rear derailuer is broke...help please

    My Niner derailuer (SRAM) started acting up yesterday. Skipping gears then all of a sudden the chain went slack. The chain hangs down and there is no spring tension on the derailuer itself. The derailuer just kind of hangs there flpping around. I was able to barely pedal back to the truck...
