A few days ago I found the local shop and tried a few marlin sizes. They didn't have the exact model in medium-large, but they said they will order one when they do their next order on the 11th. Are there any downsides to waiting for them to get one instead of ordering online? I don't know how that process works with something as large as a bike.

Oh I might actually be getting it tomorrow. They called and said it's in, so they must have meant the order would arrive on the 11th instead of being placed on the 11th.

Trying not to skip out on riding in the cold months this year, what warm clothes can you wear biking without being a sweaty mess?

Was slipping off the pedals sometimes as I went over the top of hills so I got some of those pedals with screws. Haven't been able to try them yet because of all the storms

New frame geometry just dropped

This popped up in recommended videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GbRRfbYCXI Is that supposed to be doable? It looks like a 10ft drop onto flat ground but it's hard to tell for sure from this angle

What was the name of that site used for tracking trail info?

I went out to one earlier today it was a 4 mile loop but the watch didn't get the location info for the first chunk

Was messing around with the derailleur and found out the shifter for these lets you drop 5 gears before it stops, not 3. Always felt like the lever travel was 3 clicks with the chain on. https://i.imgur.com/aBhvSo2.mp4

Where does everyone place their foot? I noticed on a road bike the ball of my foot ends up centered on the pedal, but on mtb it feels normal to have the middle of my foot centered on the pedal. Using flat pedals on both

Think it depends on the terrain, there's also the x-calibur in the same price range with different geometry. The marlin is in a kinda limbo where some regions got a gen 3 that changed closer to a trail geometry. The US still has gen 2 which is cross country.

The weight isn't on the skewer itself, the hub has its own protruding piece that slots into the dropouts.

The 6 is the bad one if it's the older frame

What are some good externally routed droppers? I want to get one for my gen 2 marlin which is the gen that didn't have the openings.

Maybe they got rid of it, I don't see an external version on their site. Anyways for sizing I guess it should be the longest travel length that can still be fully inserted into the seat tube, and then raise the collar so it's at the right height while fully extended? Ideally the full travel + collar would be the exact height I have my current post set at, but that might be in between sizes and the mounting spots on the tube could get in the way.

I got my dropper post setup and rode around for about 30 minutes, this kicks rear end.

That's something I've been thinking about too, although I was looking at rockauto since that's where I've been getting most of my auto parts. They show these for the versa sedan & hatchback models but I've never installed a hitch before https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/nissan,2017,versa,1.6l+l4,3435416,body+&+lamp+assembly,trailer+hitch,1212

I think it's fine as long as it's the usual kind that points backwards when not in use. If you've got one that points forwards then yeah maybe it could get flipped down and cause a crash.
