30 and younger thread

I ran out of gas last week riding home at 1am. thought the bike broke. I would hit the gas and it sputtered and died. Then noticed there was no fuel in the filter. I was like how the fuck did it run out already...then I realized it only took 2.6 gallons to fill up. Range sucks, but filling up for 10 bucks makes me happy

 

I fill up one a week. Bout 170 miles and around 4 gallons

 

120 MPG on my two-wheeler

 

You ?

Yes haha being as short as I am sucks on dirt with the bike but on pavement it's fine.

I was worried I was pushing it because my fuel gauge was reading only a bar. Filled it up and still had almost a quarter tank haha

Only $5 to fill up is nice

 

I know how you feel. Growing up riding dirt bikes I would always out-ride a bike before I outgrew it. I rode dirt bikes too tall for my my whole life. When we would stop I'd have to find a rock or tree stump to put my left foot on. Sometimes when I was riding and was trying to keep from tipping over going up a gnarly hill or over some rocks I'd end up tipping over because I was too short and couldn't keep myself upright haha

 

Anyone know anything about full suspension mountain bikes? I'm looking at selling mine, 2011 Giant trance 5.0, less than 10 miles on it. Some scratches on the frame, seat isn't in perfect condition.

You're welcome

 

How do you know what size bike to get?

 

Thanks
Sounds like this is my bike, Not positive but the MSRP is close to what we paid, and it's the cheapest trance listed.

Store will tell you, and there's this on most bikes.

 

That's fucking convenient lol all the specialized bikes iv ridden just say l or xl

 

Nice! Ssd are badass, wish portable hard drives in that form were a reasonable cost

 

Just have my Walmart Mongoose Mtn. bike. Bottomed out the shocks countless times when I first got it... Haha

 

When I got my road bike I thought the colors would grow on me. Well they havent. Time to shell out 1000 bucks for a new frameset (same bike), there is a 2015 paint scheme that I love

After I sell my current frameset it should only really cost me 400 and the gf said she'd split it.

old



new

 

FUCK carbon forks!!

 

Top is old?
I like the old one.

 

Why?

 

They can explode if you hit a hole/sewer lid fast/hard enough. Ask me how I know. Or if you're doing a wheelie and come down too hard.

 

That's a bunch of bullshit! Something that expensive should be stronger

 

You'd think so. Getting a face full of carbon fiber followed by road rash sucks!!
