MTB'ers on here?

Not quite a real mountain bikes but I'm getting ready to order two of these for the wifey and me. Keep them up north to ride in the mountains. Then I will bring mine back and ride in the desert in the winter.
 
Used to ride every weekend in the hills above Glendora. All kinna cool trails up there!

Bike has been sitting awhile though...

The shifters started not working correctly. I've had it at two different shops and neither of em could get it back to where is was stock.

I downloaded all the instructions from Shimano online, and I'm gonna fix it myself. It doesn't look like rocket science, but it does look time consuming.

I hope I can get it right. 🙏
 
Yep, mountain, gravel and road. Just finished a 57mi gravel ride about 45min ago. I'm getting old so I stick to longer events (4-24 hours). I don't like pinging off the rev limiter for a 1hr race any more. Motor 🫀might blow (-=

Back in the 90's, I used to ride around Vista... daily. I lived my life on a Haro Group One with 3 piece GT cranks, Powerlight bars, Pitbull brakes... perfect gearing for never having to get off the bike, ever. 1990 - 1993 were amazing years as a kid... Lincoln Jumps, riding to the Record store weekly... I went everywhere in this city.

I had not ridden a bike since I got my license in 1995. Fast forward to 2017 when I left the Cannabis company I started (Canndescent), Crusty invited me on another Yosemite trip with the fam and I picked up another Haro (Flightline) to run around the park. I used to spend all of my money at Alpha Bikes and when I walked in 25 years later, the owner remembered me and gave me a 50% discount on the new bike. Being a BMX guy, full suspension is not my thing and I prefer hard tails. Since then, I have taken it to some very fun locations and I TRY to put some miles on it every month... but the last two years as a new Father have limited that. I have been very lucky to live in rural areas that allow riding right outside of my front door.
