At least on my Garmin head unit, if I look in the Garmin Connect app, it will show the same breakdown. It will show active, and total calories burned. For me, total calories burned figure from...

Excellent information. That's exactly what I was referring to, lol. I hit the end of the trail just southeast of Lee Summit, and wondered where people were riding to connect back up with the rest...

Alt Bars

There are quite a few suspension corrected and/or fully rigid bikes out there designed around flat bars. Going with a used hard tail, and converting to swept bars should be fine. I'm currently...

I have that very same bike/year. When found, it wasn't in rideable shape, so I was doing an entire swap out of parts anyway. Long reach brakes, and put an extra set of 700c wheels on it. Standard...

Tire Pressure

I thought I'd used this as a reference before, but perhaps not. I run 700x32 at around 45-50 pounds on pavement, 700x30 50psi, 700x28 55-60, and 700x 25 at 60-65. My 700x42 RH tires on gravel are...

Rene Herse 28's

I'm a big Rene Herse fan, and have them on quite a few bikes. That said, I might be one of the few that does not find the 28's overly plush....they are fast, they do better on wet pavement than the...

Price

So, you're saying the bike has 12-14,000 miles on it? If the wheels need to be replaced, and haven't already been, I guess I'd want to know the state of the rest of the components. At that mileage,...

Trek 820

Interesting they refer to the 820 as a hybrid, though it's geometry has much more in common with an older tour bike/modern hybrid than it does to a modern rigid mtb. Anyway, it's a good bike. I use...
