The tube isn't inflating properly. Maybe I didn't press the head far enough in or I need to make sure the valve is free. I still need these tubes for my hybrid tires. Do schraeders ever fit in...

two sets of wheels

I have two sets of wheels on an old Hard Rock mountain bike. Since I have two different cassettes, should I have two different chains?

Thanks!

re: presta tubes

What is the deal with presta tubes in mountain bike tires? I have used at least three pairs and I've had problems with leaks. They are Kenda tubes, too. The last one doesn't inflate properly. It...

re: Rockhopper

I agree, I shouldn't ride with the cracked frame. I wanted to get my moneys worth and road probably over 300 miles on it. I'll be sure to look at a frame more if I ever get a used bike again. It...

25 tires versus 32

If someone averages 15 mph, how much quicker would the pace be if the tires were change from 32 to 25? Would it add another mile maybe? How low is it recommended to go on a Hybrid if you weigh 220...

Hi Jim,

I agree, Specialized is a good company. It wasn't a good idea to buy a used one though. The warranty is only good for the purchaser so you can't lose buying new. Just got new Hard Rock...

re: road versus mtb components on hybrid

Does a hybrid with road components have speed advantage over a hybrid with mountain bike components? Would it be at top end speeds only? Or even in speeds with low gears? I just want to use mine...
