Suspension is a meme. Unless you are racing you don't need it. Fat soft tires is all you need

>>1039444
I know suspension is not essential, but a nice convinience feauture. I want to buy an entry-level Enduro bike for a reason: as i said, there are days when i ride 6-7 hours off-road, uphill and downhill, jumps, etc. I want to upgrade from my Hardtail. Also, i totally respect your comment, i'm not saying full suspension is better or anything, i just hope it'll smoothen my ride a bit

there is literally a thread for this

dude, to be honest , only shit bikes have roller brakes.

they won't kill you and the bike is probably absolutly suitable for what you're going to do, but you could probably get a better bike for the same price

>>1038986

Well I wanted a Dutch style bike (single or three speed) and I have no interest in fixies. Braking system for these kinds of bike seem to be coaster, roller or drum. With V brakes being rather rare from my searches and Drum brakes being only on the more pricier options. I've no interest in a coaster brake or going fixed

>>1038988

as I said , they are fine.
and the dutch bike you want to get is probably quite fine for it's intended use.

they are super heavy tough, usualy and the geometry is arguable.
that's what I meant.

you could probably get a "decent" bike and it probably won't have coaster breaks.

but there is nothing wrong with getting a dutch style bike.

if you're up for alternatives you could hit the bbg.
although it's a meme , rigid 90s mtb do have theire merits.

but again , the bike you chose probably will serve you well enough , roller brakes or not.

Auto-Bump

Why dose it look so much like a Walmart piece of shit? That paint is horrendous.

>>1038883
Orbea it's pretty nice but that bike looks like their low tier models.

Do not make so much of a special snowflake of yourself. Also, don't go spamming useless topics around wrong boards. Meet you at /dbt/.

>not knowing how to build wheels

just end yourself

>>1038757
Wheelbuilding is one of those cases where it's worth paying somebody to do it. A guy who builds wheels all day will make stronger wheel than me who would only needs to build wheels once every couple years.

OK if you can park it in your parents backyard

>>1038379
Glorious if you can afford the gas .
I am heading to mexico for the winter.
Pretty fucking happy about it.

It's a fucking meme, dude. Don't fall for it. Only people who have no money saved at all have to do it. Living in a vehicle puts so much toll on its body, that you're forced to replace the whole thing every 7 years at the absolute longest. Insulation is also a huge deal as well as stale air/dust/condensation/moss. You have no storage space for anything, and unless you have zen-like patience of Buddha, you're gonna be spending all the money you'd saved on food anyway. You also have to be worrying about assholes ready to rob you and cops don't give a fuck because nomad lifestyle is illegal. Face it, it's fucking depressing.

Get a roomate, or buy a suburban patch of land and build your own home. Look into Section 8 if you're dirt poor. That is the smart and cheap way to go about it.

Huh. I'm actually a GIS guy and it looks like I could use this for automating even more mindless stuff.

>>1041242
Does it do anything more than what you can do with qgis or arcmap? It looks just as usual network analyst to me.

anyway, it's a good website, lotsa nice ideas.

>>1041246

Not really.

I don't watch vlogs

>>1040949
I like the race breakdown videos from him and Vegan Cyclist. I don't really care about their family or what they ate yesterday tho

>>1040949

I hate his click bait titles, and his vlogs about day to day shit, but as mentioned his race breakdowns are cool, and his long videos of long rides with his mates are so comfy, they make me wanna go riding so much so I give him the time of day generally. Also his South African camp friend is pretty funny.

tfw im still on mavic aksiums but good wheels are expensive as fuck.

Thinking about getting these:

Go for the first result, I cant post the actual link here because it says its spam. They have a 50mm version for the same price but I think ill look too tryhard with those.
