Megan Lynch (she/her)<p>$90 plus cost of shipping &amp; handling for a B. O. B.

Marty Cormack<p>Today I took my <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BromptonBicycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BromptonBicycle</span></a> for a challenging ride, with an elevation gain from low point to high point of 700 feet; 25 miles round trip. I had thought that the gearing of the Brompton would be insufficient, but I had a strong tailwind during the climb and it worked out just fine. I rode past the entrance to Arches NP and up the canyon. I think the thing I learned for climbing in a mountainous region is patience. If you attack too hard, you'll just blow out your knees.<br><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a></p>
WolfinPDX<p>I bought a beat to shit Specialized 26" Hard Rock this afternoon. I spent the last four hours tearing it apart and cleaning it as best I can as I went. </p><p>Went to swap wheels and tires off another bike. Long story short, it's not going to work. Hugely disappointed. </p><p>I'm stopping for today. It's getting cooler and will get dark before I know it. I have a mess on the patio to take to the Dumpster. I also need to clean up the mess I made in the kitchen table before my partner gets home from work.</p><p>I will try to remember to take pictures tomorrow and share them.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a></p>

Andrew Helwer<p>Me (brilliant): surely there can’t be a good reason for my bike tire pressure to have dropped overnight, I’ll just top it up to 80 PSI</p><p>Several hundred meters later, an enormous CRACK was heard as my front tire bulged out and exploded lol ain’t doing that again.

As a tall person, I find that bike shops rarely have my size in stock to be able to see or ride before ordering. I haven't bought a new bike or frame and forks in a while, but when I do, geometry charts are very important for me. They are all I can go on most of the time.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cycling</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BikeNite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikeNite</span></a></p>

Each manufacturer is likely produce a range of bikes for different purposes with purpose-specific geometry.</p><p>I'm tall and pay particular attention to the seat tube length. It tells me if I can get the saddle high enough and/or if I need to consider a longer seat post! Other important measurements like reach I can tweak by changing the stem and (drop) handlebars, if necessary. But I keep a check on how this may affect the handling.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cycling</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BikeNite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikeNite</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a></p>
