All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Oh yeah. not able to go down that weekend. :/ maybe week after.

 

Nice looking bike, Congratulations!

Maybe pick up a set of RaceFace Chesters? I'm rocking those on three of my bikes right now. They're light, cheap, and colorful with excellent grip if you wear decent riding shoes (ie. Vans, 510s, etc). About the only issue I have with the Chesters is that they can get dinged up fairly easily from rock strikes. Other than that minor annoyance, though, they're solid.

 

Thanks!! Yeah I’m gonna look at getting those. When I can get to the bike shop again I’m gonna see what they have

 

I may be in for that if you dont mind me tagging along.

 

I'll consult the group. I'm not the organizer, so I don't wanna be inviting peeps out of turn.

Cannot wait for trails to dry out enough to ride again!

Totally understand, a geezy first timer none the less!

 

Do you still live in Colorado Springs? I'm always looking for people that like to ride in town or do some road trips to riding destinations.

 

I hear the new tan Hightower is pretty nice looking.

 

For flats under $50 I would go one up composites. Strong and your feet stuck like glue

 

I have $100 RF Aeffect pedals and RF Chesters. Save the money and get the Chesters. They are awesome and add some style to the bike.

 

Well we gotta fix that regardless of what the homies say.

 

I’ve had nothing but good experience with Chesters. Got them when I made the switch back to flats from clipless and they have been solid. Hard to beat for the price.

 

I was back and fourth on the Warbird and Cutthroat. I picked up a 2020 Cutthroat last Friday. Mainly for the pure fun of it!

 

I got the expensive atlas pedals because of easily replaceable off the shelf sealed ball bearings. I literally have a pile of flat pedals with fucked up bearings and the manufacturer DCed their product doesn't sell rebuild kits.

 

I run the atlas as well. Mostly because when I bought my bike, the manufacturer was giving me a massive discount on them. basically got them half off. I've loved them so far. tons of grippy pins. and they've taken quite a beating and they're still going strong.

 

YT?

 

Yup! Lucky enough to snag a capra and get it delivered within a week. I've heard horror stories of months long waits.

 

Cool, one of my good buds has a newer Jeffsy that he loves. Really nice bikes, beefy!

 

I just picked up the race face chesters in black from the LBS.
