We know that there’s got to be a catch but we soak it all up anyway because heaven knows when we’ll get free stuff again. Recently I put in an order with a reputable online cycling store for a few things that I’d been considering for a while. The commuter bike has been getting flats somewhat regularly lately since for some reason the glueless patches we’ve got don’t seem to want to hold.https://radriders.netlify.app/upgrade-one-by-conversion/Sat, 10 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://radriders.netlify.app/upgrade-one-by-conversion/Rationale My full-suspension mountain bike has been serving me well for about seven years now. She’s a 2013 KHS 6500 with a 2x10 transmission. Translation: Two chainrings at the front and ten speeds at the back. Living in Ontario I find that I rarely change the front gear to the smaller chainring unless I am in a few specific regions where I know there are a lot of short, punchy climbs that need a bit of granny gear to get to the top.
