AS others have mentioned, offer them something lower and see what they do... that is something we do with lots of other purchases we make, so bikes should be no different.
But, as a Cannonadle...
SunTour was great stuff, although very costly to upgrade because you basically need to replace a lot... I've done tons of these bikes. If the front shifter is working, you might be able to leave that...
I'm highjacking the thread here, but can tell you that the hut experince is great and I'd definitely do it again. The restrooms are just in another building, so there aren't any outhouses.:)
There are lots of different types of Kool Stop pads... I would use what you have first and go from there. There's definitely a differennce between good pads and so-so pads, but although they help...
It sounds as though you shouldn't have any issues with the hill, especially since you are aware of it before you get there. Bike companies/Cannondale would not put brakes on a bike that didn't work,...
As a Cannondale dealer, I can tell you that is a GREAT price! That same model for 2013 sells for $1250-$1390.
Although the Tiagra shifters will work fine if adjusted properly, if you can change...
I did a short late day hike yesterday (elevation only 1100-1200 feet proabably) and saw evidence that we still have lots of snow in soem areas... 2-3 feet. I'll definitely have to get out on ski's...
It's amzing how an hour can tire our fourl legges friends out, although if yours are like mine, well she runs more distance than I ski HA!
We had about a foot of new snow this week, and although...
It is amazing how quickly we can turn from one activity to another...:) I too, went out on ski's this morning. At the time, the snow was minimal and dry, which meant that I had very little glide. It...
Depending on who shows up, it is a variety of abilities. For some folks, this might be their first ride in quite some time, and others have trained all winter long. The great thing is that the route...
With the current track of snow, the Chili ride sponsered by Chase Cyclery scheduled for this coming Saturday March 23 will be rescheduled at a later date.
Ahhh with the snowstorm that is upon us, I obviously will reschedule the Chili ride. Reports predict from 15-20", so perhaps it's time to get back out on the nordic ski's!
CHILI RIDE
This ride will be held March 23 leaving from the shop at 11:00AM. This is a great ride to become acquainted with new friends, meet up with old ones after a long winter and enjoy all...
Don't you just love it when there are days like this? It sounds like you had a wonderful day, this is one of those days where you can be very thankful for the crazy weather! :)
We did not receive...
I actually did NOT set up the Boot Camp for particular age groups; it simply worked out that way. There were more people originally, but as others have mentioned, some of the group dropped out. I...
Crankin you're right about predicted temps for the weekend. My plans are to get out early AM for a ski, and then head back and take my mtn bike out for a ride. It feels as though it's Christmas Eve;...
I would also check with your local Cannondale dealer, as they may have a 2012 closeout that will fit your budget and give you more bang for your budget! :)
Glad to hear that everyone is having a good time with your classes!! It definitely gives us all something to think about over the colder/dark months:)
I've been teaching a suspension straps class,...
Glad to hear about your day Crankin! It does indeed seem a bit strange to truly be wishing for snow earlier in the season and not receive a whole lot, and now that it seems most people are 'finished'...
Well, the past week and a half has dropped about 2 1/2 feet of snow here, although the warm temps have made the snow melt/freeze several times. Got out for a short ski today, and although the sun was...
Glad to hear that you received some snow instead of just rain! I would guess that we reeived well over a foot in this last storm, so about 2 feet this week. I just finished shovelling the driveway...
Thanks for sharing Crankin!! How much snow have you received at home this weekend?
I just got back froma short ski, absolutely gorgeous out! The snow falling from the trees was tending to amke...
Ahhh I can relate!! While it may not be the white Ford 150; it's the people that tow their snowmobile, 4wheeler, boat, a couple of times a year... once to get here and once to take it home. They're...
Very scary indeed! I'm glad that you weren't in the car when that happened!!
Although not the same situation by any means, it reminded me of all of the situations I have seen with bikes from that...
