While certainly not the best park in the state, it's better than not riding imo. Good place to work on fitness with a lot of climbing. The payoff kinda sucks with wide downhill without enough turning.
So of the places you mentioned on your wishlist
1) Lewis Morris - Good trail network, but further and worse than hartshorne imo. Also has patriots path right there if you want more mileage. Hilly but easy.
2) Nassau - Hidden gem. Very underrated imo. Flowy like 6 mile, but more rocks. There are...
Saw that you are still looking, and figured I'd offer you my $0.02 as I've gone down this road.
Unless your wife is a serious cyclist, you are best off on your slowest bike when riding with the wife. Buying something purpose built for gravel will just wind up having you leaving her in the dust...
I'm pretty sure XD drive isn't compatible with an SX eagle cassette (please correct me if I'm wrong because I mix up technical jargon). However, if price is good it might be cost effective to buy a gx cassette and convert, not sure if there are other things I need to consider for that conversion?
What kind of hub is this? It does look like the right spacing but I don't know how to tell if it has the right driver, but if a decent hub I would be interested because then I just need to source a rim and spokes which shouldn't be too hard.
Hey,
So the hub died on my 2020 Giant Trance and the shop told me it's pretty hard to get wheels right now. I'm looking for a rear wheel with appropriate width (~30mm internal) to support a 2.4/2.5 tire. Am willing to drive to you and pay $$!!!! please message me if you have anything that might...
Seems like they're mad that MTBers are doing the maintenance the park department always drops the ball on. The top picture from the article showing logs through a constant mud bog....isn't that good for hikers too?
Personally I think those things look pretty fun for riding around town or a light trail, but looks really sketchy for anything technical. I don't really see them doing any real trail damage because they don't go that fast, and the tire is wide (like fat bike wide i believe). Also they aren't...
Preferably with gears. Rigid or hardtail should be fine. Looking to take my godson so beginner trails like Columbia/flow trails, 6 mile, etc. this summer.
