Picked this up the other day.

2022 Scott Addict RC 30

 

[Fong$tarr]

Hit Mount Diablo today. Great ride but it was freezing, like 30 something at the peak.

I live around that area now. Need to do this route one day but it's been a minute since I've done a long route, let alone one that has a climb like that. Props for that.

I use the Nirvana app.

Strava to me has been the best.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Strava to track. I use Komoot to build my routes.

I have a Garmin, so I just use the Garmin Connect app.

[Mark Antony]

Garmin connect auto uploads to Strava, so sort of both but I like strava.

 

[Raji Lowenthal]

I should start tracking my miles. With an 11 mile Rd trip commute I avg close to 50 miles a week when I factor in rain days and weekend rides.

Anyone have any info on this Specialized? It's for sale at a garage sale near me. Not sure of the price yet, will find out tomorrow. It kind of looks like the tag says 1.3, so assuming $1300 but not for certain.

 

[Mark Antony]

Know nothing about that model, but it doesn't look modern, has what looks like a 3x groupset (most mountain bikes are 1x nowadays) and is a hardtail. Not a chance it's worth anything near that unless that's a new premium air fork on it.

It definitely doesn't say $1300, and if it does, they smoke crack. If you're positive there's a 1 and a 3, it probably says $130, which would be fair. At the bike shop I used to work at, we would probably buy this off of someone for $75, then clean it it up and go through everything, try to sell it for $125/$150.

Dead man, need to get use to riding longer than 50 miles.

 

[dvsonm]

what’s the census on these? Does anyone own a pair? Also what pedals work with these? I’m in the market for new pedals and I’m somewhat of a newb on bike parts.

 

[kdawg]

I don’t have those - but I’ve had a few pairs like them. They’re useful if you want to be able to ride somewhere on a bike with clipless pedals and then walk a bit. I use them for going to meetings and things (not a lot recently).

The sole is thick enough for reasonable pedalling but not so stiff that you can’t walk.

They’ll fit any 2 bolt cleats - the most common are Shimano SPD. They can be had for pretty cheap but if you spend a bit more and get the ones in the middle of the range they’re definitely nicer.

 

[sole searchin]

don’t know much about bikes either and slowly getting into it (possible 70.3) and need a road bike.

What’s a decent deal on a Cervelo R3 force from 2009? Good condition.

 

[Mark Antony]

I've got a black pair of those, I like them for riding clipless and flat pedal because of that stiff sole. No issues really except for minor heel slip every now and then.

Solid ride today.

 

[Fong$tarr]

Solid ride today.

That is amazing. Did you like have a car in Sac waiting for you to go back to San Rafael?

We spent the night in Sac and took Amtrak back home. It was a cool experience, bike packing kinda but staying in an Airbnb.

Bruh saaaaame! I see these rides and I'm like 'You rode a while shift! Like you clocked in, hopped on your bike, and did a solid 6-shift.'

I get out for a couple hours and I'm DONE. Rode for an hour on a mountain bike trail Sunday and I'm still feeling it today.

if it makes you feel better I've only done one 30 mile ride

it was a fairly aggressive 30 miles for me climbing 2700+ feet

wanted to ride more last year and now that the weather is getting better but other things are getting in the way...disc golf, wife, kids

I'll be out there soon though

New toy delivered yesterday. Forgot to post.

1997 Cannondale Super V in red & gold.

Putting this CODA handlebar stem & handlebar on it:

Will post pics when finished, but I'm giddy aaaaffff. I looove the Cannondale Super V. Have an all black one. This one is for my son so we can MTB together instead of him busting his nuts w/ his gravel bike.
