>>1480528it sounds like you purchased the wrong type of bike for the riding you are intending to do, and maybe even the wrong size
>>1480598yes, and that depends on the bike. my old 26er is named "crash" because I do that on it frequently, including on the test ride. it's probably because I've never been sober while riding it. my miyata 615 is named "six strawberries" because I'm a fucking weeb. also because I'm a fucking weeb, my rivendell romulus is named "samidare" because it's built mainly for riding in the early summer rainy season.
