Belt and internal hub would be so nice as a commuter, often I have to clean my wifes commuter bike chain everyday, somehow fine dirt gravel just flies up in every puddle, even in summer, and coats the chain in grit.

I have 2022 version and absolutely love it. I`ve changed stock 32 slick tires for 38 "gravel" ones and it improved ride comfort A LOT. So 40'' tires on the new one must be even nicer.

Hi! I'm looking to buy a 2022 version but I am trying to understand if it could fit 40c tires. Do you think that with the 38c you still have room left?
@tokyopinokyo10 күн бұрын
@@bboiteau Hi! As far as I know the stock rims officially supports till 38. But there is a room for 40 for sure. I just don't know if you need a new wheelset for it or not. Please let me know if you make it happened!

I have the old version. With the nervous geometry. Loving it. 'Hate the yellow hi-vis stripes though. Marin just should paint it black with mustard socks, that would be beautifull. With a little ochre or white pin-striping. Not quite sure about the 8 speed internal hub. It does its' job perfectly when you move up and down one gear, but when you do more it's not always perfect. Also I don't like the sound of the gear levers: hollowy plasticy. Great bike. For everyday use. Not on any kind of track. Sorry.

I’m glad that I’m not the only one experiencing the nervous nature of the old model with the 32 width tyres. I nearly killed myself on gravel coming down the Darling Ranges in Perth. Admittedly pea gravel but sketchy as all out. I’m thinking of going to 40s to see if that improves it.

Interesting I currently ride a Felt Verza Speed 50 same style flat bar commuter, I'm looking at getting a belt drive bicycle and I was looking at the Priority Bicycles Priority 8 same style flat bar commuter the * comes with 700-32C my Felt has 700-35 so I don't really want to go down a size I would prefer a little more rubber on the road, I ride in the City with bad roads in some place and the flat bar commuter fits me just fine. Thanks

The belt group is I believe a CDN item, something I can't believe is used in Canada. The CDX is more durable in cold weather. You mentioned a couple breaks, this could be why. Lack of fenders and lights removes it from my commuter list. Once you add these items and upgrade the belt system, you'll be much closer to some non-Asian built, Euro commuter bikes. Also no mention of seat brand, quality, or chain stay dimension, both items that can make or break the commuter status. My Local Marin dealer does not have (1) bike in stock, stated they did not have any to order! The bike industry is it's own worse enemy. Unfortunate.

would change the front sprocket from CDN to CDX .... is it possible to change 8 to 11 speed hub ?

Are the rims tubeless compatible? Marin doesn't give any information on their spec page.

I own the bike, just got it a few days ago, and asked my buddy who works at the bike shop the same thing. He said he wouldn't have recommended it otherwise. That's my source. 😅

Why do you keep saying 40C? It's 40 mm, C is a wheel designation, not a tire width.
@BikeBrosBikeShop3 ай бұрын
Sorry maybe a habit learned from multiple shops and customers all using that terminology... I'm bilingual, I can talk "c's" and "mm".
