[QUOTE="xblitzkriegx, post: 15540939, member: 105608"] Besides video games ( World of Tanks PC and World of Tanks Blitz), I have a midrange mountain bike. It's a carbon frames 27.5+ tire bike. Ie, rims size between old school 26" wheels and 29ers. The tires are big and fluffy so it's not as harsh and it has the same effective diameter as a 29x2.2 tire, except it's 3" wide. I like to ride it as much as I can cause it keeps me in shape and I get to go into the woods a little bit. I'm never going to enter races or wear spandex gear, and the expense side of it is easy to keep control over if you only replace what's worn out/broken. Example, I need a new rear thru axle cause the cheap Chinese piece of shit that came with it stripped out by the quick release. Also, I need a new chainring cause I hit a tree sideways at about 15mph. Now the chainring has a nice wobble to it. It was fun right up until about 2' before the tree lol. I'll be out about $120 to replace both parts with quality aftermarket items. Though, I could get stock replacements and get away with spending about $50. Like anything else, someone faster or more expensive parts/bike. Whats different though is that unlike cars, you can't buy speed (skill), and a $9800 bike won't make you any faster than someone on a $300 bike. [/QUOTE]
