Thanks for the replies. There were no Gatorskins at the LBS, so I bought these. My only criteria was good puncture resistance. I have no experience with any Continental tires, but the Gatorskins...

Haro 2021 Slo Ride

My LBS has a 26” in their store. I’m tempted to pull the trigger but before I do, any feedback from anyone that already has this bike, would be appreciated.

FWIW, I’m not going to be doing tricks...

I enjoyed zipping around a bike with 20” wheels. But bad knees that don’t bend like they used to, made me wish there was more between the seat and crank arms.

I’m late 50’s and I’ve ridden a 20” bmx with a laid-back seatpost, 24 miles round trip for work. It wasn’t hard, but it is a somewhat cramped position with knees coming up to my chest almost.

Take corners and bumps slow! Slower than normal.

Keep a close eye out for bumps.

Spend your first ride or two, in an empty parking lot. You’ll be glad you did.

Every time I see these framesets, they are spendy AF, $899.99 I’m sure it’s a good frame, but you can buy a quality, complete bike for that price.

Today, most “real men” wouldn’t be caught on a bike, out of fear of being called gay.

I have a 20” bmx I do some commuting on. I installed a lean back seat post which helps...but it’s still kinda’ cramped. If 22”, 24”, or 26” had been available I would have gone that route.

Old guy here. Not a bmx rider, but ride a 20" bmx as my urban assault machine.
The bike feels like it's bulletproof! I don't worry about bending the rims if I ride off a curb, which is nice.

Feels like it, lol. One shop had a used FG/SS that weighed 15 lbs. I passed on it due to durability concerns. I'm probably wrong, but I feel like super light bikes lack durability.
