Forum: Mountain and Road Bikes

For those who like to pedal.

  1. Best tubes for around here

    My kiddo has a 20" specialized mountain bike that fits him really good. The problem is, he is constantly getting flats. I've tried the following: Slime - Worked out, but find it gets to be too liquid like to plug larger goathead holes. "Heavy Duty" tubes w/slime already in them: They are thicker which is nice, but the slime is almost like water as it shoots out and never seals the hole. Doubled up an old cut tube on top of a new tube: Best so far, but still I had to pull it apart last night and patch the inner tube because of a big goathead. He rides his bike to school everyday, and i'm bummed today because I left for work and didn't check his back tire, which was flat. So he had to walk. I need a longer term solution, anyone have any ideas?

Later they will have bikes available at the Tuesday Night Ride Group, which will meet at the softball fields on N Virginia St at 5:45p, Sorry if this post is a bit commercial.

  8. Fork travel?

    Hello how can you tell how much travel your fork has. Looking online I've found that mine came in two types 80mm and 100mm. In the picture the space in between the red lines is a little over 80mm. That seems to be the max travel or does the travel go all the way to the green line? thanks

  12. I work at Bicycle Bananas v2.0

    Just wanted to remind everyone that I work at Bicycle Bananas. If I can help any Reno 4x4 people with their bike needs please let me know. I now work in back managing the webstore, but don't be shy about asking for me. I usually work M-F 9-4:30. The shop is moving to a new location this month, so things might be a bit crazy. We're just moving to the next shopping center over, by Kohls and Safeway.
