Mt. Bikes

[Jason]

Finally after a looking for what seemed like to long, I found a Bike, I tested this bike at the dealer and really like it, so I almost bought this bike new after not finding anything used, but after holding out I located this bike up on Whidbey Island, I saved almost half off of new and its only 10months old.

LOL..It wasn't easy, I had the money saved up to buy a new one, but I kept procrastinating on it and I bought a Garmin 60csx GPS, now I didn't have enough to buy a new bike so I was really hoping for something like this to come along, or I was going to have to wait another month to save up more money, so luckily I got a really nice bike and a new GPS for less than a new bike

Jason,
That looks like it will do fine.
I couldn't find what I wanted used and finally broke down and paid to much and bought new.
I was having a hard time at first justifying paying more then $100 for a bike but 350 miles later I can defiantly say it was a good purchase, I've payed way more for less in other hunting gear.

[Jason]

anyone use a cyclometer? if so what kind and do you like them?, I'm looking to get one but not sure if I should get a wired or wireless.

I'm useing a schwin corded. More for the clock then anything else as I dont wear a watch.
I bought a cordless schwin but I had problems with it, I had to adjust the piece on the spoke every time I road.

I am always looking for mt bike gear. If anyone has stuff they don't need PM me.

[Jason]

JamieB...is your cyclometer the type that has two magnets?

[Jamieb]

Yep

[Jamieb]

In the directions was how to program it for the size of tire your running.
Easy to install and set up, works fine.
Has the time, date, speed, odometer, stop watch and a few other things that I don't use.

I would just pick up a mountain bike and focus all your money on your seat so your a$$ doesn't hurt for two weeks from the only time you ride the mountain bike during hunting.

Really you do get used to the seat. That first time I was hurting. And the second time. After that I guess I just got used to it and isn't a big deal anymore.

Had been thinking of getting some sort of cyclometer thing, but thought I'm not riding for distance or time so why bother. Am still curious about it though. Do still need to get some mud flaps/fenders to keep from getting sprayed.

Am very glad I got a front suspension bike! Mine, along with many others, has a switch to make it a solid suspension bike and boy does the ride suck then! Was told it is good for riding up hills so your pedaling goes into forward movement rather than having the forks take away some of that effort. Same applies to rears sus. bikes as well. But most of the time I leave it to soak up the bumps and makes a huge difference.

The first ride my it sure got to my butt, your butt gets used to it.
The gel seat cover I added is well worth the couple of bucks.

I ordered a cyclometer online today and a bike mount for my 60CSX, now I just need a front fender and rear rack and bags.
