Alabama Mountain Biking Thread

All the women we talked to in the bike section. Lol. She finally realized it doesn’t have to be as insane as we made it when we went to oak mountain.

 

Bahaha did you show her any of the video? Oak mtn is def not the learning place.

 

Yeah. That was a mistake.

 

Bahahaha you had to tell her I’m super beginner and bad at the sport lol. My videos don’t give it much credit.

 

That’s another reason I say dicks. They do a full adjustment and bike check when you buy and they let you come back and get things looked at if needed. Obviously small things not like you wrecked it and a bike shop needs to fix it lol. Walmart and academy I don’t believe even adjust the bike or anything.

 

Hahaha that’s classic. Yeah I’d have to avoid that then.

 

Oh for sure. I’m not saying you did bad lol but with a little bit of planning i would def choose elsewhere haha. Spur of the moment I’d probably have gone for something cheap as hell like that too

 

Lakeshore walking trails. They have a lot of off path walking though that you can tell bikers use

 

So went to HF and bought their bike carrier. Let me say for $30 dollars with coupon I am more then impressed. This will work for now. Still want to try some bed rack mounts though!

 

Yea is nothing fancy but gets the job done. @BamaTaco56 is gonna make me some rack mount that I could use when I go Offroad but this is good for weekend trips to oak mountain lol.

 

@Jerneyman Monte Sano after work Friday?

 

Should be able to. I'll check and see what's going on for Friday when I get home this evening.

 

sweet. talked with Martin last night he said he can do Tuesday or Friday and I can't do Tuesday so...Friday it is.

 

Works for me. So I got the blessing from my wife to buy a new bike when I'm ready. This is what I'm going to look at when I get the time. https://www.konaworld.com/process_153_275.cfm

 

OH OK MONEY BAGS lol

 

Yeah, buying this bike requires a lot of welding work on the side that I've already got planned out. My bags are empty at the moment. Lol.

 

is this the same bike at trailhead? https://www.trailheadinc.net/product/kona-process-153-al-27.5-318875-1.htm

 

Not sure. Picture won't load on my work browser... Sort of looks the same based on specs though. If they're asking over MSRP though, looks like I'm ordering it online. Lol.

 

haha I bet they'd come down some if you show them that.

it's a different color...which I personally like better....

here's the pic:

 

Still can't see it. Lol
