all 3 of my kids were onto pedal bikes at age 3. The push bikes were to thank.
What do I get for the next bike?

My little trials rider. Used to ride the curb for half an hour at a time.

I'm pretty impressed with the Strider.
My son can't actually walk yet (or stand on his own), but he can stand up on his own with the Strider.
Pretty amazing. Just one day after he got it!

Melted this tire off.
And pretty self explanatory upgrade here on the rear tube.
stock vs. 4mm Ultra Heavy Duty

How are you liking the new bike? Are you glad you got the 300?

As much as I've heard good about them, I've heard equal amounts of bad.
(As in people not finishing races bad).
I spend enough energy trying to stay on the bike without worrying about remembering to air up my tires every time I go ride or cleaning slime off my rims whenever I change a tire.
I'm not opposed to trying something new, and they sound very appealing (when they work right), but I bought a new bike so I wouldn't have to fuss with stuff.
Knock on wood, but I've had very good luck with Ultra Heavy Duty tubes and slime so far, so it's hard for me to justify spending $200 on a Tubliss system when I can run what I have for around $50
Plus I've got to use my fun money to buy some new unbreakable levers after last race.... oops...
I just swapped my first tire on this bike, I'm going to try a AT 81 rear.

I have a brand new rear tubliss hanging in my garage I'll make you a deal on Stratton.
Get some midwest mountain engineering levers. Put a set on my bike a couple months back and I love them. http://www.midwestme.com I've always used the ASV F3 or C6 levers on my past bikes and loved them. After waiting for 6+ months with them on backorder (they're still on backorder) I finally gave up. Glad I did and and glad I found these midwest mountain engineering levers.

I ran the ARC Melomon composite on my 300 and have them on Jack's 85. About $65 a piece and are unbreakable.

I had ASV f3's on my last bike and really liked them.
The Midwest ones look cool, but I can't tell from the website if they fold back to resist breakage?
I was going to try these Airtime ones. Anyone have any experience with them?

I'm loving it. It feels so light and it's just awesome out of the box. The more I ride it the faster I can ride it.
Less is more.

How are you breaking levers with full strap type hand gaurds, Im on my third bike in 7 years without breaking a single lever with my solid handgaurds...broken wrist yes, but levers no.

I'm flattered.
I guess I run my levers low and hand guards high? Really I think it was a crazy pointy rock. I dropped my last bike plenty and never had issues.

I'm on my first AT 81...and I'm very impressed by it. Probably the most durable tire I've ever owned (I've chunked every Desert IT I've ever owned in the first couple rides, and I really REALLY like the MX52, but they don't have the durability of the AT81, if I had the money to replace them all the time I'd run the MX52's).
And KNOCK ON WOOD...but I've never had a pinch flat with ultra heavy duty tubes, ever.
Talk to me about the slime? Are you running that green slime in your tubes?
