You'll get used to it. I thought my hub was too loud at first but now I love the sound.Exactly like that. Just wasn’t used to it.

I went full Italian and for a Kask Mojito helmet. The strap is oddly nice with it being leather and it is a MIPS helmet too. Highly recommended but the helmet is about $100 depending if you can get a deal. Heard though there should be a new Mojito helmet coming out so could even be cheaper in the long run.
damn thats wild, i was thinking of copping a haro for a simple hardtail and every damn model is sold outhttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/17/business/giant-bikes-coronavirus-shortage.html
Giant does manufacture frames for several major brands.
I spoke with my local Trek shop recently. Lead times for pre-orders are crazy. Employee told me fulfillment wouldn't be until February until about April currently for some models.
I think it took close to a month. If i can do it over again, I would of paid more to get it faster. I got it for like $131 shipped from Bike Inn which isn’t a steal but I wanted the matte black. Definitely complain if you can. It’s worth a shot but they’ll probably just give you some COVID answer.Yes, the Mojito X was the second generation and now the third generation just released called the Mojito³ (cubed).
How long did it take for it to get to you from bike inn? I ordered around July 25th, it got dispatched on the 28th, and it's been sitting in customs since Aug 4th
I getting impatient and i'm about to open up a case with paypal

Are you referring to me? I bought a hybrid/beach cruiser. Posted a picture on page 51 on the thread. Currently on back order though.what type of bike do you got?
i think i missed the post
I see they do some like trek, specialized, Scott, I wonder if they do those bikedirect bikes too.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/17/business/giant-bikes-coronavirus-shortage.html

Honest question, since I’ve been too broke to ever find out lol.i messed up, the continental tubes i copped arent deep enough for the carbon wheels so i reused the old tubes with the new tires![]()
What are the advantages of carbon wheels aside from weight?

Nope, those aren't the tubes that came with the bike. Giant makes tubes and tires, so new Giant bikes definitely have Giant tubes in them.I'm trying to get the exact same size tube listed on the inner tube itself but no luck. I'm finding tubes close in size though so just wondering if does it matter if it is not the exact same size that I'll be replacing. Looks like these are the OEM tubes that came with the bike or something.

They’re less heavy!
Seriously though because of that you can use more material so be more aero at the same weight (only really useful past about 20mph).
You didn’t ask but the main drawback is that braking is much worse in the wet.
You also forgot to line up the tire logo with the valves!
2 reasons for that - attention to detail and the practical reason is that you can then match up where a hole in a tube is with a spot on the tire and check for a foreign object more easily than searching the whole tire.
The aero makes sense. And yea I have heard about the braking. I think ill stick to what I have for now. Mainly asking for my old steel roadie that I have been bringing into the modern times, so it only has rim brake options.They’re less heavy!

Carbon wheels seem like the move especially with some disc brakes. One day lol. Gotta get my gravel bike first.
