    Big Guy 6.3, 360 lb, 60 yr. In need of true advice

    Will do! Between storms, I got only two rides in for about ten miles with no issues...yet. Well other than a sore butt and spaghetti legs when I stop. The tires on the 7s are wide & beefy, the 32 spokes appear strong & secure so far. Not worried about the forks or frame. This bike is a Beast...

    Thanks. Actually we have a very active troop at our church. But I don't know if they would be interested. Plus they have limited free time.

    Flat Out Tire, Slime or the Dart System, Armor-Dilloz. What’s the best Tire Sealant?

    Flat Out Tire Sealant: I did a quick forum search but couldn't find a post for this product. I watched a few YouTubes, and this looks pretty impressive. Amazon can't be trusted because there are so many fake reviews. Redit has some comments. But I can only trust EBR. Is this a hoax? Has...

    Yep, I got my 7s a couple of days ago. Had to drive 45 min. To get the last nautical blue 7s in the area. Now it’s been raining for two days. Got the wife a Teal Verve+ At the same time. Then found a matching Teal helmet on Amazon. So, style wise she’s happy. We can’t wait for the sky’s to...

    "LatchIt Rack" looks great tailgate option Trucks, Anyone Try It?

    Latchitrack, I can't find reviews on this product. It looks like a great carrier for those who own trucks. It's light and utilizes the truck's tailgate locking points. What I love about it is your tailgate is down, which should reduce scratches and save some space in the bed. Ice chest...

    Well, I took the wife by the Trek Store way across town. She fell in love with the teal-colored Lowstep Verve+. My tunnel vision was locked on the Nautical Blue 7s, it just look good to me! This store had The Only XL Nautical Blue 7s in the state! I thoughts she would have an issue with the...

    Yes I am overweight. Twenty years of 24/7 rotating shift desk work is the untold story of the down side of an Info. Tech. career. Agreed, my grands are in outstanding shape, honor roll in school and sports keeps them focused and away for the pitfalls of youth. That is my mandate to take them...

    Dallant: I've been following your post. You're the reason I locked into the Trek 7s. AHicks: I want to be like you riding six days a week, You commented that "must have throttle camp" . What bike are you riding? You make an interesting point on the need for a throttle. But my main goal is...

    First, let me make the obvious joke away …Best advice, "Lose weight" Ok, most posters are longtime riders or in-shape people. I’m not that guy, as you can see from the title. I’ve been too lazy, and now I want to get active. I have two grandchildren who moved in with us. Both are Junior Olympic...
