Let’s Get Low (gearing)

giant revolt

I want it all. I want the ability to ride miles of pavement at road speed, and then climb an 18% forest road while carrying all of the necessary supplies for an overnight trip. And I want to do all of this on the same bike.

Project Party Bike

Get rad! 90’s rigid mountain bikes tend to make the best party bikes. They typically have massive tire clearance, they can be built with basically any components you want, and they’re pretty much indestructible. Plus, they’re cheap, easy to find, and usually come in some fun color schemes. 26 isn’t dead.

Enjoying those late winter neighborhood sunsets with a few of my favorite people. ☀️🌲
Green and mossy old growth forest 👉 monochromatic salt water shore.
Cyclomonstercrosscountry? Call it whatever you want. Figure out how to define it if you have to. I just wanted a bike that would feel like what I rode as a kid. If I had to give it a name, it would be "rad". All that matters is that it makes me smile.
Spring is so close I can taste it. The wind still has the bite of winter but it's slowly losing its grip.
I want it all. I want a gear range of 532% and I want to know that it's proven. I've been running 48/34x11/42 since 2017.
And just like that, the snow is gone as quickly as it came.
