He barely even road it.
Has disk brakes, these fancy gear shifters that I don’t know how to work, and salsa handlebars and a better wear. And a fancy gear box ? I don’t know

Not a lot of pain fortunately. Nothing broken though. They gave me a script for Meloxicam. A powerful anti-inflammatory supposedly

cool bike. you can use a chain breaker and put the chain back together. but it breaking that easy tells me it might be wore out. so get a new one. if you dont the old one might have to much side - side play that will wear out your rear cog set early.

That’s a killer Ogre. Buy it and get a new chain. It might be worth having it tuned up.

I've been taking Meloxicam for a while on days my knees really hurt; definitely helps.
Hope it works for you.

You think it’s worth $850 with a double hitch bike rack? - he said the rack was $650

Honestly never "timed" how long it took to ease pain, guess I felt better after a couple of hours.
My Rx is for 15mg.

In this market it’s probably worth much more than that.

If it was closer I’d drive there and buy it myself if you didn’t want it.

So true. I was taking my Niner RIP9 RDO in for some service last month and a random guy driving through the parking lot stopped and asked me if I was interested in selling it! That’s never happened before.

There’s nothing available right now except extremely high end stuff.

Funny - it is the same for surf boards and paddle boards.
Some friends brought their kid's old surf board to the local surf shop for their annual board swap sale. One guy told me his board sold for $400. He said the board had been through two kids and he didn't think he even spent $400 when he got it. People are just snapping up this stuff, and since most of these items are made in China and SE Asia, with COVID-19 shut downs and shipping delays, there just isn't any inventory coming.
My wife wants to buy snow shoes and cross country skis now, anticipating those will be gone in a couple months.

I ordered SUP’s for my grandson and wife a while ago and there have been extensive delays with delivery.

My local shop I think has only 2 or 3 left. They usually have dozens in various sizes.
I'd bet they'd be a blast to use in the Sound. Paddle boarding is my summertime cardio exercise on my non-running days.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I was not sure about the bike rack my brother has for sale. It’s a Kuat NV 2.0 for 2 bikes.
I see it’s one of the best.
But if I get a rack, I may as well get at least a 4 bike rack so I can fit the whole families- and the little one in the back.
I don’t need something super expensive as the bike trail is about 6-7 miles from my house.
So he said the ogre can be mine for $600.
He’s going to sell the rack separate For $250.
I found a cheap Allen sports delux 4 bike rack on Amazon for $139.99
I’ll prob go for that one.
But then I saw that you can buy a $200 2 bike extension for my brothers Kuat.
So that would bring the total to $450 for a top of the line 4 bike rack. But I’ve never done anything like that before so I don’t know.
I’m def taking the ogre.
Going to take it to a shop in the next few days to get a new chain installed and get the seat tube lowered. The seat tube is too long for me as it’s in the lowest spot and I can’t touch the ground. No clue how he rode it since he’s about my height.

You shouldn't be able to touch the ground with your ass on the seat.

I bought a KAC 4-bike carrier recently, and I'm really impressed.
It's huge when in use, but it's great.
