Your latest bike purchase?

[Steve O]

I thought I would try out the idea of arm coolers this summer. Being the cheapskate I am, I found some manufactured in a low-wage, foreign language country.
I must say that the $12 for 4 pair will be a bargain even if the arm coolers don’t work…purely for the entertainment value of the packaging:

apparently you’re supposed to find someone of the opposite sex to stick their arm in it with you. you should ask people on the trail if they’re up for that.

My latest bike gear purchase was Gonex Wind Cross helmet. I accidently ran by an article bestadviser.net/reviews/mountain-bikes-reviews/top-mountain-bikes-helmets-and-clothing-review/ and decided to try it. I never could say that I was fully satisfied with my previous helmets, cause one was simply not comfortable after half an hour, another I used to tighten again and again cause it was getting loose all the time, but with this one I’m pretty happy, finally:D

Greetings, dear reader! Today I’ll tell you about the mountain bike brand “Trinx” M026H. But first a few words about the company “Trinx”. So, the company “Trinx” is located in China, in the city of Guangzhou. The company has been manufacturing bicycles for just over 20 years. Ten years ago they redirected their production capacity to the entry-level MTB. Well, they made the right choice.

The Trinx M026H mountain bike is something between the Ashan-bike (breadboard-bike) and a full-fledged entry-level mountain bike. This model has a good and competently balanced equipment.

The RadWagon has arrived. This is the heaviest, clumsiest bike I’ve ever ridden and the first bike to truly put an idiot grin on my face at the first stroke of the pedals.

Needs some pegs so I’ll be more comfortable on the back. I love the color.

It came with running boards, but I left them off for now to save weight. This thing is not a featherweight…

Does the longer wheel base make the ride feel different?

Judd, from my experience test-riding Grant & Gillian’s Yuba- You are further forward on a longer wheelbase bike. If you turn sharply, as you might on a regular bike, you’ll find the inside curb. Scrape.

Depends on what makes the wheelbase long

Not really. Harder to take sharp corners, but feels like a regular hybrid. I think it’s shorter than a true longtail. The 2018 model is an aluminum frame, but it’s a smooth ride overall.

So, are you going to buy a baby trailer, two batteries, and dress them up as babies to get preferential treatment?
