Bike Forums - The "Should I..." Thread

I thought about that, and did look and find a couple options, but honestly I just don't like eBay. I know a lot of people do and have success, but I just don't enjoy the process.

Yeah man, I hear you. Paying for something and having it arrive at your house a few days later is pretty complicated, especially when the purchase is protected 100% by PayPal.

My question to you saddlebag/jersey wearers is where do you keep your U-lock? Or do you just mob that around and then go no where else after/ before?

I'm thinking more of after every ride, me and my buddies will likely go to a bar or two to wind down/get food and without a U lock that's pretty much impossible.

E; if you're lucky you can get the lock to fit between the chain stay and the saddle rail.

If you want to fit according to seat tube that would be correct. The bike should feel fine. At stop lights.

I'm a little confused with this, does this mean the 50 will not work for me? I just really need a straight out answer so I can buy the bike.

Should I get this barely used Suntour Sprint pedal setup for $60, or get some MKS urban platforms for my new build?

Those Suntours will be more sw8 and legit, but Urbans will be much more comfy.

I vote Suntour.

Did you say sw8? Done deal. Yeah, I pretty much wanted them more too; just needed an extra push. :p

Should I look at the stickies about fit, or just ask this redundant question again and again?

For serious...
