My budget was less than yours and I got a set of custom wheels. I'm not a racer by any means and was just looking for a better set of wheels that I could ride in rough roads. I ride for leisure, fun...
Another shoe to check out is the Shimano M077 (seems to fit people with wide feet and nashbar has them on sale for $60).
Congrats on your weight loss!
I also ride roads and paved MUP's and I have the PD-M530's pedals and like them a lot. They are dual-sided as opposed to the A530 which has clips on one side and...
Hmm - you're right - there are no fall dates. In the past, weren't Bike Sundays in May, June and Sept?
Thanks for the response Mike. Was the vendor someone recommended by a friend?
Thanks for all your help and reassurance. For those of you who asked, I'm hesitant to name the builder as I don't want to cause a flame war or start an argument. Suffice to say, the builder was...
HA! Since I'm a girl, I probably won't care as much about the pretty girl breaking her spokes when I have my own issues to deal with
Ok - good to know! I'll ignore the 2-3 weeks that is stated on the site. Did you contact the company or did you just wait and the wheels showed up?
Yes - they are in the US. Thanks for the reply - I feel better. I just want to make sure that this is standard and that I'll eventually get my wheels.
I ordered a custom wheelset in the beginning of October for my Specialized Ruby. The website that I ordered from states that it usually takes 2-3 weeks to get the wheelset depending on supplies and...
Specialized Ariel's are popular hybrid bikes. Trust me, I'm a women who frequents a lot women forums and the Ariel and the Vita are very popular bikes. At the end of the day, let HER pick the bike -...
Thanks for all the the advice. I have Micheline ProRace 3's that I can put on to see if the ride gets better. I should lower my psi too as I'm definitely higher than 88 - I'm probably at 100+. If...
Thanks for your responses. If I wait a bit, I could increase my budget to get a better wheelset. At the $550 level, are the Boyd's the best wheelset, considering my weight? I looked at Velocity...
Just wanted to give everyone an update. My son is doing really well - we took off the pedals and had him practice going down a small slope. He got the hang of balancing and stopping without falling...
I am looking to upgrade the current wheelset of my Specialized Ruby (DT Axis 2.0).
I'm fairly small - 5 feet, 105 pounds and ride on rough pavement (NYC). I'm not looking to race but would like...
Another one who bikes alone. My husband hates riding -- won't even buy a bike so I usually go off on my own. Unfortunately, I have very little downtime due to a full time job and kids who are in a...
Actually, there's an REI in Westchester (yonkers to be exact) but I don't think it's worth it. I agree that a Cyclocross bike is perfect for NYC so Congrats on your purchase
Thanks for the advice! I need to change my tactic. Guess I'll be scouting out grassy slopes for next weekend's lesson.
Thank you for your great advice. You make a lot of really good points, especially #2, as I never thought about how difficult it is for a child to learn to steer, pedal and balance all at once....
I bought my 7 year old a Trek Mountain Rack 200 with 24 inch wheels. He is tall for his age and he has a hand me down bike with 20 inch tires but it's too small for him now. He is able to ride for...
Here's my list"
1) Road Bike - Specialized Ruby (already have)
2) Folding Bike - Dahon Speed P8 (already have)
3) Hybrid casual errand bike - desperately looking for a Bianchi Cafe Racer/Milano...
It really wasn't bad (definitely less than 15 minutes - it was more like 5) and at least the OP introduced himself and told us why he wants us to answer the survey. I was on another forum and a...
Beautiful shop! Congrats!
I am 5'0 exactly and 105 pounds. I don't know if you're looking for carbon but I just bought a Specialized Ruby in 44 and love it. However, I also tried a Trek Madone 44 and a Jamis Endura Femme 44...
