Mauser posted:Can I ask what you're doing with the rockhopper? I got a '98 that's a little small for me that I was using as a commuter for a couple years with slick tires, but now I'm not sure what to do with it. Sorry if you posted upthread about it already I have a Giant Yukon that was also borderline too small for me and I have converted to rigid fork and slick tires. I even changed the wheels to 650b (27.5”). If you were considering doing a drop bar conversion (do it) I believe road bikes tend to have a longer stem then mountain bikes so that would help with reach. And it’s not uncommon to see cross country mountain bikes with their seat post raised like sky jackers. I think due to the sloping top tube. With bike prices the way they are right now if you got an old mountain bike around then you can easily change it to an all road / gravel bike and keep riding. They even have dropbars as that accept mountain bike controls as I have them on my crazy front wheel drive bike and then they make drop bar shifters that will shift Shimano 2x10 mountain bike group sets. edit: These bars and a longer stem might have you back on that bike.

I finally did it. I can say I've done all of the Silver Comet Trail in Georgia. I've been riding chunks of it here and there starting sometime last year I believe. Maybe even further back then that. Did the last chunk finally. I started in Cedartown and I know that's not a long ride by any means but it was the last segment I hadn't done up to this point. Pics in Cedartown:   Somewhere along the trail:  At the border:      Officially in Alabama:

vikingstrike posted:I do miss riding north Georgia and the rolling hills in the eastern part of the state. Not worth moving back but I usually try to grab a bike when I go home to visit. You got some favorites you wouldn't mind to share? I'm always looking for new places to ride around here.

vikingstrike posted:Sure. What part of the state are you in? I'm in Gwinnett but I've traveled out to Rutledge for the BRAG spring tune-up, Carrollton for the greenway around that city, down to Atlanta, etc. I'm willing to go a fair distance to check a place out.

Put together a bike for a friend of mine so she can keep up with us on our goofy riding adventures. I'm pretty pleased with the pedal to handlebar transition.

Those are RaceFace Chesters on there. I'll ask her if the spikes scratch her. But yeah any recommendations for other platform pedals I'm all ears. But I'm stuck with they gotta be purple now.

Apparently I cause derails wherever I goooo lol. Also friend reported back on her first ride on the bike. She's able to smoke her SO and feels much more confident on the street. The three of us are gonna go on even more silly riding adventures now.
