>>1717786>Keep at least one or two bikes man, never be bikeless, and realistically prices aren't coming down for a while.well, that sucks. i guess I'm keeping them, then. still, got them for really cheap through some tricks... and I guess I could try the same thing again just in case I can get a new one and sell the treks. I treat them like shit honestly. the marlin 5 lasted only 1 year in good condition.
>Those tires should be fine for most trail riding, not great on paved roads though due to being knobbywhich ones do you think would be good for hybrid pavement/trail riding?
>Replacing the cassette is easy but you need a cassette tool to remove the lockring, tool costs like $10>You can get a chain breaker for $15k, I guess I'll buy these 2 things. thanks
>Chains are longer than they need to be when new, you are expected to take some links out.I did. I got help from a bike "technician" (I really doubt of his competence, but whatever..) and the guy couldn't get it to work well.
>Looks like some of them come with freewheel hubs, which means you'd need a different kind of cassette.dunno what freewheel hubs are, but it'd suck if I bought the wrong kind of chain :/
>Try to find the specs online for your specific year+model and see what it came with.that's what i did, but... I just realized I made a huge mistake, and ordered a KMC X8.3 from amazon instead of a KMC Z7, and also realized that the X8.3 was also much more expensive than buying the part here in my country. JFC I'm dumb...
