I don't mean to go down a rabbit hole, but any recommendations for a good helmet? I just bought a nice cruiser, and mainly going to be riding in parks.

 

[SC kid]

^Giro is great and they have em in all price ranges. I recommend getting one with MIPS if you can spring the extra cash its worth it. Plus this is NT we stay dropping c-notes for shoes.

THE ONLY COLOR THAT MATTERS.

This is actually my secondary helmet, but has been getting the most use as of late. Great helmet and price. Comes with a removable visor as well. Good choice.

I know you weren't asking me, but here are the pedals on my MTB:

They are yellow Origin8 Vex platform pedals. I think platform pedals are the best way to go for a MTB.

^ Do you keep the wheels on the ground when you're not riding? I know it seems like a stupid question, and most people keep their bike on the ground, but if you can keep the wheels off the ground, you're far less likely to lose pressure. That's way I just got the bike rack I posted a few days ago, so my bikes can finally suspend.

I wonder if there's any rack out there where i can mount my bike vertically, i have no space to do it horizontally

Loud hubs have been my savior.

The drivetrains on track bikes be loud AF

Does anyone else run lights during daytime rides? I run my Bontrager front and rear lights to give drivers every opportunity not to hit me.

No, but a co worker did mention to me about running them in the daytime no matter what

i got a used frame off ebay for a great price, and it was barely used.

I just took a ride with the new wheels and when I stop pedaling it sounds like a swarm of angry bees. It’s so loud. It’s good because ppl get out of the way but I didn’t think upgrading wheels would have a hub so loud.

I went full Italian and for a Kask Mojito helmet. The strap is oddly nice with it being leather and it is a MIPS helmet too. Highly recommended but the helmet is about $100 depending if you can get a deal. Heard though there should be a new Mojito helmet coming out so could even be cheaper in the long run.

Does it sound like this?

Exactly like that. Just wasn’t used to it.
