    Saddle pressure, numbness, and maintaining sexual health at 59

    I recently went to a C9 comfort airflow saddle, its the size I like at 10.5" x 7.25" but its thicker than my last two saddles. So far so good after 104 miles. I tried pitching down the nose and it just doesn't work for me, flat feels best with flat bars. The Kinetk XR is the most effective...

    Portola Thread

    I bought my Mom one of those, I'll be doing the unboxing soon. I also use that Permatex Gel thread locker, really good stuff. The bell does come in handy around here on bike paths, one ding usually is enough and then a verbal passing on your left hopefully. Had one guy panic a few days ago and...

    Its mainly the regulations and labor. With the fires in the news maybe quality control has improved and there is less crap out there now.

I got fitted at a LBS many years ago and the guy recommended a Women's Bontrager saddle, he was right. The shape fit me fairly well...

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    I live in central Alabama. Jacksonville is a University town, so there are some bicycle friendly areas locally. But, we don't have a local bike shop anymore, go figure. I live near the Chief Ladiga rail trail and it connects with the Silver Comet trail in Georgia. Lots of rural roads to ride...

    Hello from central AL

    I stumbled across this forum while Googling e-bike reviews. All that reading is dangerous to the wallet, I ended purchasing an Aventon Adventure 2 from a local LBS while looking at Trek mid drives. They didn't have the right frame size, but they did have a Large Green Adventure in stock. I had a...
