D Dude#1279435 Audioholic Warlord Oct 31, 2020 9,541 0 36 Apr 22, 2021 #1 I own a 2014 Jamis Allegro Sport but have to find derailleurs, cassette, and a crankset for it. I might end up looking on craigslist if the cost is too much. Maybe a gearless bike, but loathe the thought of going uphill w/o. In the meantime it's replace the back tire with a Bell brand LOL. I can't believe I did that. Should've stuck with the Continental LOL. Also a Surly Ice Cream Truck fat bike. I believe its 2015 but can't remember. It has the best shift I've ever owned but can't remember the brand. Pretty smooth. Heaviest thing I've ever owned too. Probably close to 35 lbs. I'd recommend 2X on the fat bikes. Too slow with the 1X.

lovinthehd Audioholic Jedi Sep 11, 2012 44,878 0 113 Oakridge, OR Apr 22, 2021 #2 Glad to help you out but would need some more details on what components in particular, provide me some pics if not specific make/model (like audio)? I have a lot of older components that I've been thinking need a new home rather than gathering dust..... Going singlespeed is an acquired taste. I have one but rarely use it. All my other bikes are geared in various ways. Schwinn Continentals were tanks! The Surlys are excellent value and are quite versatile, albeit a bit porky. My first mountain bike was in the 45 lb range, tho.....now my newest acquisition, a Santa Cruz Heckler e-bike, is about the same weight but makes the uphills the most fun climbing I've ever had .

My dad had the Continental. I splurged with my newspaper delivery money and got the Super Sport....which I rode for many years. It had cro moly tubing! But was still a tank, as were most of the basic non-Waterford type Schwinns at the time.

I haven't ridden a fat tire bike- are some of them heavy, to maintain a low center of gravity? Click to expand... They haven't completely worn out. After five years with the Jamis it's time to replace the parts. I can probably get by for another season but would rather start looking now for deals. I ride 4-5 days to work and back. A little over 4 miles each way. The incline on the way back is about 2+ miles LOL. I'd say gradual incline thankfully. My fat bike is very heavy. Occasionally I have to haul in the basement to do minor repairs in the winter. I'm trying not to do that, but then I'd need a heated garage LOL. I also have an 8lb kryptonite lock which I use to carry in my backpack but than realize I'm old so wrap it around the frame. DOH! I'd guess there's something to low center of gravity. The previous fatty I owned sat too low to the ground for my liking. I don't think the seat could be adjusted all that high. My Surly does though. Hydraulic seat, Bluto fork. It's way overkill for my needs, but I didn't know that at the time. I saw one online and bought it. On Craigslist they go for around $1100 and w/o a car it's almost impossible to nab for me. My previous I bought the day after Xmas so there was a buffer for me to be the first luckily. They said they'd receive so many emails on it. My previous fatty was stolen at the apt I lived in, so co-workers chipped in a couple hundred and my landlord deferred on a month's rent so I really only paid under a $1000. I initially bought it for close to $1600. Expensive, but the way I see it it will be the last one I own. Last edited: Apr 23, 2021

Replacing. The sprockets on the cassette, crank wheel etc are going. It shifts but not very good. My bad. The Jamis specifically, but if you have parts for the Surly I'd consider that too.

Even just the Shimano technical documents describing a part or system will include good info on how to do things, torque specs, etc. Haven't looked in a while but some great basic stuff is available at sheldonbrown.com (Sheldon passed a while back so the info tends to be for older tech, but still quite helpful in general terms. Tools can be specialized, you have what bike tools particularly? Crank/bottom bracket tools? Cassette tools?
