Gear Talk / Re: Tablets/IPad or laptops

I'd still go with handy and reliable laptops. I have this Acer Chromebook, 11.6-Inch Laptop that I bring along whenever I'm into adventure. Everytime I go out into something, I document everything. I'm actually loving this little laptop. It's very solid feeling and looks pretty. Battery is long life as well.

Hello!

I've also checked this SE Bikes Big Mountain 24-Speed D Hard Tail Mountain Bicycle. Following are specifications:

Main frame: SE 1 Double Butted alloy, semi-integrated
Fork: HL 595SAMS 29, 100mm travel
Crank set: Wheel Top, 42/34/24T, 8-speed
Shifters: Shimano EF-40 EZ-Fire, 24-speed
Brake set: Mechanical disc, 160mm rotors

So far it had great reviews on Amazon and planning to buy it by next week. Do you have any take on this? Suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks!

We have over 7000 miles cycling with MKS Lambda pedals and Power Grip straps. About 5000 of those miles were done while wearing hiking boots and the last 2000ish have been done wearing plain old tennis shoes.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who doesn't know, but seriously, I can use my tennis shoes in biking?

Just to share my experience and maybe you can take it as a recommendation too!

I love my new Beiou BOCBM05A Carbon Fiber Complete MTB Bike.

Features are follows:

Carbon Fiber Bicycle
Full Suspension

Works great on pavement and I've taken it on a few easy mountain bike trails. Had this bike put together by a professional. He had never even heard of this brand. He said it was meant for Europe as the brakes were reversed. Was impressed with the quality, so am I, GREAT BIKE!
