I'll keep seat height in mind. Last time it was at the LBS to help me transition to clipless pedals, they lowered my seat a little too.

Fast touring. I'll google that and see what saddles I find. Thanks for the help with the cycling terminology. :)

Good questions. The markings on the seat tell me it's a WTB Volt 142. I find that at about 35-45 miles I start to get tailbone pain. When I'm doing a century ride, I eventually get the feeling I'm sitting on bleacher right across where my hams and glutes meet. I don't know mileage, but find...

I am just starting to look for a new saddle. I have a salsa journeyman. I just started riding about three years ago and ride mostly country roads with lots of rolling hills. I looked at my local shop today, and they said to bring my bike down and they'd put a couple of seats on for me to try...

I'm new to cycling and wanted to check in on something. I took my bike to the local bike shop at the end of February. Replaced the chain while they were at it. About two months later, I was at a 100 mile ride and about 20 miles in, the new chain breaks. Probably about 12 rides on the new...

New to biking and I only know the tires my bike came with. They are Terevail Sparwoods. Unfortunately Terevail says they don't have any Sparwoods and it's going to be a while before they do. I'm looking at the Terevail Washburn, which probably makes more sense for me since I ride almost all...

So I brought my bike in for a spring tune-up last weekend. Got a call this weekend that the tire I need to replace it is out of stock. I started researching online as I'm new to biking. Bike is a Salsa Journeyman Sora with 650b tires. 1. I ride almost completely on road, but unused country...

Maybe that's all it is then. Completely new to biking last spring. Brought my bike in for a spring tune-up. LBS grabbed what I assume was a chain checker and said a new chain was needed, so maybe new chain needed and brand new cassette were a bad combination. No skipping, but just doesn't...

That makes some sense too. Maybe I'll try to get a picture of the chain and you can tell me if that should be replaced after a six month season.

I kind of feel like I can feel each of the teeth hitting the chain. Maybe it's just because I'm barefoot and trying it out?

Didn't get the rear light for Christmas, but got my first helmet, and the front Varia, and my first pair of cycling glasses, so rear Varia this spring. :)

So I finally got the right tool to install the new cassette, and I got the bike hooked up to the trainer for the first time. Should it feel or sound any different than it does off the trainer? I just got the bike last spring, so I'm new to this. Never used a trainer before. I'm sure I can't...

I'm looking to find a black friday deal on my first pair of clipless shoes. I have crank brothers doubleshot 2's. How do I find shoes that will work with these pedals? Thanks for any help!

Looking for a few holiday gift ideas and thinking about a varia rear light to go with my edge 530. Is it worth it? Thanks!

Trying to set up my first trainer, and it sounds like I messed up already. I bought a kickr core and it doesn't come with a cassette, so I purchased the one they offer with it on their site. Apparently that one doesn't work with my bike. It's an 11 speed now that I have it, and I think my bike...
