For commuting. I kind of want a mountain bike.

My old tires, Yes they blew all the time probably about 1 a week. Just got new tires and out of about 250 miles I've ridden on them I haven't had a single problem. Getting a flat really depends on how good of tires you have and how easy you are on them when you ride. The real change is going from that soft supple squishiness of fat mountain bike tires to hard and unforgiving road skinnies.

We must be missing out. I just hear how easy it is to pop tires and such, and I get super wary. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Cognitive Surplus Mon, 20 Sep 2010 15:10:09 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=606&msg_id=624 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=606&msg_id=620 Kinda in the market myself for a new commuter myself. I'm learning that massive miles on my current bike is pretty rough on the body. That and I'm not nearly as fast as I could be. I keep hearing from people who actually have road bikes that the difference is like magic or some crap like that. Never been on one myself so who knows. It could be like getting a piggyback ride from Jesus.

Modifications include: a strap I never use to attach a headlight to, about 10lbs of mud, tar, and grease, second set of break pads (installed incorrectly), and the original, maladjusted factory chain. I really need to take it in to get it worked on. Though, maybe this winter I'll research into getting a nice road bike. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Cognitive Surplus Mon, 20 Sep 2010 14:20:25 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=606&msg_id=614 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=606&msg_id=612 Out of curiosity Josh.

I thought about stopping in, but I remembered I didn't shower before embarking. Abby wouldn't have been happy. Also, you folks need some bikes. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Cognitive Surplus Mon, 20 Sep 2010 01:28:33 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=606&msg_id=611 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=606&msg_id=609 Didn't even stop by to say hello and grab a refreshing gin tonic.
