For my MTB folks any good full suspension you guys recommend under 2k? Just a amateur

14.7 lbs of pure speed. Just got these Cadex Tubeless 42s, and shed about 1 lbs. from my previous setup of Zipp 303s with Pirelli P-Zeros.
Light for the hills, yet snappy for the sprints.

Beautiful build. Is it a CAAD?

I’m a hardtail guy myself... but was also checking out full sus under 2k. Jamis Dakar and Marin Rift Zone were ones I kept looking at that price range.

It’s a ‘15 Supersix Evo Hi-Mod. Old antique at this point, but still, SAVE THE RIM BRAKE!

Nice! I have a CAAD12 but always wanted a supersix. I’ve had a synapse carbon before too

Sold my bike and picked this up today. I’m really excited to take it for a ride. A little more than I wanted to spend - but I think it’ll be a good upgrade based on my previous bike .

Essentials.....

Copped a new chainring and sprocket to change up my gearing. Also got the track chain for some added bling.

Did my first ride over the weekend

finally took the bike out after this brutal winter in NY. My boy just got his bike so I took him to get some miles in.

I'm thinking these "hybrid/fitness" type bikes might be more my speed. Though I spoke to someone recently who had one and they eventually just went full mountain bike.

Smooth tarmac, rocky gravel or packed dirt, no road is off limits with the Pathlite 6. Whether you’re after a leisurely spin through the woods or a pace-pushing, multi-day trip, this bike has everything you’ll need for fast and comfortable riding on nearly any surface.

Brb gotta restart chrome cause pics of the bike not loading

Lowering the seat always makes for more of a comfortable riding position whereas raising it can get you in a more aerodynamic position. I also think just getting used to positions helps with those pains as well. When I first road, I would be in all sorts of pain with my butt hurting the most from the seat with no bike shorts but through time, most of that went away unless I did some real long rides.

Raising the seat doesn't necessarily mean more aero. If his shoulders hurt it probably has to do with his reach. He needs to adjust the bars/stem/levers, aka get a bike fit.

after putting my bike in the back of an SUV just once it got old already

gonna look for a bike rack to put on one of my vehicles

ideally something that doesn't take up much space because it's already pretty tight in the garage

open to any suggestions

 

[boywonder]

Do you have a tow hitch on your SUV?

I dont have one but ive used Kuat and really dig them. 1-up seems to be worth their weight in cost though. I know people that have had 1-up for years and still zero issues.

not sure with out looking at it

I don't think I do

 

[whywesteppin]

I put my bike in the trunk of a sedan. it's not too bad, just have to remove the front wheel. the annoying part is if you're trying to keep things clean.

 

[dvsonm]

I have a Thule bike rack. No hitch on my car so I strap it to the trunk. Pretty solid hold.

Those have received great reviews. I love that it’s usb-charged unlike the Garmin Vector pedals which I have, that run on LR44 batteries. PIA to switch out.
