I recently dropped the base of my kryptonite code lock and it seems to have jammed in a way that prevents the sliding button from moving. It happened while I was unlocking my bike, I fussed with it for quite some time to no avail, then tried again and was finally able to get it to close. However it’s now stuck again, and I’m no longer comfy using it in case it gets stuck while my bike is locked. The combo is absolutely correct, I just can’t get the sliding button (pictured below I don’t know what it’d actually called) to move an inch. Any suggestions?

I recently started road cycling to replace running since I've been dealing with knee injuries. I picked up a cheap Ozark Trail G1 Explorer gravel bike from Walmart about 2 months ago and have been riding it several times per week trying to slowly work my way out of my neighborhood and go a little further out on each ride.

Yesterday was my "long ride", and it has been my most challenging by far. I've done a few 10 mile rides, but nothing with this much elevation. The route caught me by surprise and I wasn't expecting to climb this much, but I felt like I handled it well, and the descent made it worth it! Completing a climb is super rewarding and I'm really looking forward to my next long ride.

Kind of sucks that I'm just starting to get into the groove with winter right around the corner. It's been getting pretty cold in the northeast where I'm from and I think I'll need to consider getting some sort of trainer or stationary bike for the winter.

I'm going to go that distance for a person I really like either way, I just wanna know if I should be intimidated or if I should think it's a breeze. I've biked a lot before and it wasn't too hard

Id say I'm average in terms of fitness, but hell, if I need to get stronger and have more stamina, I'll do it for them.

Thinking of buying a cool vintage bike for a few hundred bucks. The steel frame looks great, other than one spot that has a brazing repair. Does this weld job look good, or is it a cause for concern?

hey!

I have found a Merida Scultura [8000 2026](tel:8000 2026) model for a very good price (on clearance). Is this a good bike, I haven’t heard many reviews about Merida? Id like to hear all thoughts :)

It is showing that according to my height 5'11''
Cradiac Gunner Pro Max and OMO Bikes are the best option available for me if I want gears lockout suspension. Said by gemini that these are fast bikes. But I personally do not trust AI, as it feels biased.
Personally I have felt that AI gives biased options. Only the products which are highly advertised are took by AI's. But as we all know highly advertised products and genuinely good products are different things.
