New wheels ordered

[romack991]

Heh....I ride on 110psi. 32's on 700's.
So much easier than the fatter tires on my old Walmart special. I wish I had a bike computer. I estimate I ride at least 50 miles per week now.
Now if only I could find a bike trailer for Ben that doesn't fall apart after one ride.

I really like my Planet Bike Protegé 9.0 computer. It's like 30 bucks from Amazon. Wireless option is an extra 10 bucks. Good christmas or birthday idea. I've had the cheap computers from Walmart but lost them on rough trails.

I have my road tires now and may pick up some tubes to fit this afternoon and try them out for the first time. Also, I was wrong, they're only rated for 85psi but the reviews for them are great. I may need to put my big ring back on though since they're smaller than mtb tires or get a larger middle ring/bashguard.

I have the same one, pretty nice, I like the temperature option!

yup, put the big ring on, you will be spinning for ever and not going anywhere!

Wheels!

I do like the road tires on my other set, but haven't done a long ride on them yet, only a mile or so.

 

[Big Kahuna]

so when are we going to kick off X-MTB.com

:lmao:

Sell this place out to SBT and start a MTB site. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[SuperJETT]

There are plenty of good mtb sites already, no need for another. I don't have the time anyway, I'd rather be riding my bike anyway.

post a pic of them mounted on bike. i only have black on black wheels/frame or dark grey w/black wheels on other rig...how's the red look with the frame set?

I'll get them mounted tonight---was doing my tubeless setup last night and didn't bother with the rotors/cassette yet. My front triangle is white and rear is black so the red should give some color other than just brown dirt.

 

[SuperJETT]

The bike is dirty, like it should be, and no I'm not cleaning it just for pics.



Love them so far, roll like crazy compared to the others, tons quicker engagement, and light plus I have a XT cassette now.

Get those platforms of that bike Mister . That is too good looking of a machine to have platforms . Have you not made friends with the spds ? Give them another shot You will see the error of your ways. I have some spds and some cook bros I'll be happy to send you . Just do what master Miyagi tells you ride in yard and clip on , clip off clip on , clip off then you ready for trail ride.

I'm part of a renegade group of ex-clipless riders. Watch out, our numbers are growing.

Seriously, I'm a much better rider without them, and the 4% efficiency I lose won't be missed. I'm faster, stand up and mash more often, and try jumps/bigger trees/etc more than with the clipless. I still have my shoes/pedals and will use them for long road rides, but that's about it.

Good platforms and flat shoes work great.

It seems that Jet is lost to the dark side (the non-cliped-in riders)....
That bike just looks wrong with those pedals, I am sorry to say...
Cool wheels though!

 

[WILKEY]

this is where all the cool kids hang out yeaaaaaaaa my mountain bike

 

[SuperJETT]

After most of a season of riding on them, still love them. Still true, smooth rolling, and dirty as heck which is good.

 

[WILKEY]

helllz yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update: on a night ride back in January, the rear sounded like a harp on every pedal downstroke---loose spokes. Bicycle Wheel Warehouse replaced the entire wheel under warranty, said it had a flat spot. Here's the thing, I don't do big drops and have never flatted it, so not sure how that happened, but I'm happy with how they handled it for sure.
