Buy, Sell, Trade / Couple kids bikes and one adult bike I need to move

« on: June 21, 2019, 10:52:27 AM »

I have a Trek MT60, Redline Raid, and Gary Fisher Triton for sale. If you are interested, I can send pictures. I would like to be around $75 for each of the kids bikes and maybe $250 for the single speed. I am definitely open to offers if I am off base.

MT60 girls mountain bike ages 5-8
Redline Raid 20” bmx freewheel (have coaster brake as well)
GF Triton SS (not fixie) steel frame. Rides awesome. I just don’t use it anymore.

Brown County State Park / Are the trails open Saturday, with the race on Sunday.

I am not sure how all of that works.

I have a free morning tomorrow and don't want to get turned around at the gate.

If BCSP is off limits, any suggestions?

Tech Bench / Trek mt220 weight reduction

« on: October 30, 2016, 07:49:15 PM »

I got my son a MT220 from this forum last year. My son is young for it, but...

What can I do to lessen the weight of this thing. I had to push it for a little bit this weekend, and I swear it is heavier than my bike.

Any suggestions on weight loss for this thing?!?!?!

Does anybody know anything about these kids bikes?

They look fantastic, but they are a little pricey.

Tech Bench / Road Bike Driveline Question

« on: August 04, 2015, 09:28:14 PM »

I know, I know, but as wet as it has been this year - I have been on the pavement a lot this year!

I have a Cannondale CAAD10 105 that I bought new last year. I rode some last year but not a ton, rode mountain bikes a lot more last year. I have ridden the CAAD10 a bunch this year and I have been noticing two things that I am hoping you guys can help with.

I notice a clicking that is coming from the chain clicking on the middle rings of the rear cassette. Is that just part of it or is it a function of the cassette?

Also when in the highest gear or lowest gear the front derailer is rubbing the chain. Since it is on both ends of the spectrum; is that normal, can it be adjust out, or is it a function of the front derailer.

To be clear, I am not looking to buy new parts to fix the problem. However, if it is the parts, as they wear out - I will replace them with upgraded parts if that is the problem.

Rants and Raves / Had to explain the N+1 rule last night!

« on: February 07, 2014, 02:59:49 PM »

Brought home a new roadie last night and got a little lecture on how many bike I own!

The good news, I am still in the N+1 group and not quite to the N-1 group yet. She just needs a little time and wine and she'll be alright!
