+1 to adaptive cycling specialist, plus if you can get your doctor's referral your health insurance might take some of the cost

what's the best approximation of a old rigid mountain bike in the new-bike market? a hybrid with knobbier tires? a gravel bike? aluminum frame with a steel fork and discs seems like it would be a nice way to get dirty without the cost and weight penalty of suspension

Salsa Journeyman 650b flat bar.

EDIT: wtf the flat bar only comes in Claris or Sora that's super dumb the flat bar is begging for a 1x setup.

that might be exactly what i'm looking for, if i don't just go for the ultimate cost savings and just ride an old bike and do without discs

especially because i don't particularly care for 1x. i kinda prefer either two derailleurs or none, but that may come from living most of my adult life in SF

lol i just noticed the salsa journeyman is available in 24" but not 26"

can bike manufacturers just hurry up and decide 26" is the hot new thing everyone needs to n+1 for. my gear inches :argh:

i have to let that go, i don't live in SF anymore and thus don't have friends that live at the top of >25% grades

Just buy a mid 90s Stumpjumper, its clearly what you want. Itll only be 200 too

i have a steel rigid, i'm mostly just windowshopping. the one i have is right at the upper limit for me size wise and has a horizontal top tube so I have zero room to hang my butt over the rear wheel, and since its my rain bike i am always being reminded of the limitations of rim brakes. but it'll be a while before i have new bike money

seconding both the "see ortho specialists" and "pedal faster in lower gears"

the theoretical ideal for where you put out power most efficiently is something like 90rpm. you don't have to strictly adhere to that because you're not riding in a peloton on a 100km race stage, just keep it in your mind that if you get noticeably below 60rpm (aka 1 complete revolution of the pedals per second) it's time to downshift a gear before you get stuck standing on the pedals

I went about ten years of mountain biking before discovering padded shorts and it blew my mind. Now I barely want to ride around the block without some rear end padding.

you don't need padded shorts to ride a bike, but boy howdy when you have it available you miss it when you don't

after years of using it as a commuter and rain bike i repacked all the bearings on my Bridgestone branded 90s steel mountain bike, put some 26x2.0 knobbies on it and plan to yeet myself down some local trails with no guidance whatsoever. i have a little experience playing in the dirt from riding cyclocross. hopefully i survive

OH, yeah. machine shop is the general term. something like this would be within the capabilities of almost anyone with some dial indicators and a sizable lathe, the primary questions are if they have the right bar stock on hand and if it'd be worth their time at a price acceptable to you.

I'd be willing to bet that having done up the drawings already makes it both easier to find a shop that'll do it and cheaper. I can see a lot more people turning away "hey i have this broken bike part can you make me a new one" than "i have a one-off part of approx X by Y by Z dimensions, with drawings and a prototype, can you make this?"

lugged my fat rear end up a couple hundred foot hill, got super winded and back sore, rested, then fired my rear end back down that hill as fast as felt survivable. 10/10 will meet sweaty dudes in the woods again

idk if direct drive was ever a thing but the regen braking they allow for seems like something that'd be appealing for cross-country riding, if not downhill. are the big chonky electric hubs a thing with electric mountain bikes?

Increasing your unsprung weight sucks balls so no. Having a direct drive hub on my cargo bike was great because it enabled silent assist and great torque-assist, but the regen was negligible. Was nice to save on pads tho.

it always amazes me how quickly poo poo becomes passe with mountain bikes, as much because companies stop making it as people stop using it. i dont even think my mountain bike would count as one now, it'd be a flat-bar gravel bike

Nah that�s really not fair at all. I�m with you in theory, but in practice the local trails I ride the most are 10+ miles away. It�s a rare day when I have time to ride that far and also ride the actual trail.

imo that's as big a plus for emountainbikes as anything else. zipping along down the road at 25mph makes a lot of trails a lot closer timewise

My goodness the bike is scary fast with the XC tires. Having to use brakes in places I never have to keep from overjumping jumps. Crushed PR by over 6 seconds without even trying on a dual slalom trail I've ridden hundreds of times.

Uphill sections are so much easier as well. Really liking these tires for hardpack jump lines and dry conditions.

i feel like this is kinda the logical result of ever bigger and fatter wheels and tires. eventually everything is so chonk that riding non-XBOX tires feels like effortless flying

costco probably sells bikes mostly targeted at "clueless rich person present-shopping for grandkid" and "clueless rich person making impulse buy" more than "current value-minded mtb enthusiast". the cheapest thing that doesn't suck is probably all they care about
