What kind of bike do you have?

The brakes almost went out on mine while cycling down a veerrrryy steep hill. I said a quick prayer to Brodin though, and all was well.

Well it started out as a specialized cross roads bike.

Pretty much everything has been replaced on it over the years except the seat and frame. Currently it has SR Suntour front suspension and 700 x 45c K-Race Pro wheels, very smooth ride. It's a perfect hybrid for road and trails. I broke the frame of my previous bike on the trail, this one is holding out well. I spend about $300-$400 a year on maintenance, for up to 3000 km a year on it.

Always check your brakes :) I sometimes forget to lock the brake cable back in after taking the wheel out to patch a flat along the way. Not a nice feeling when nothing happens when you press the brakes, good thing there are 2. Quick brake check before a steep hill is always a good idea.

o.O nice! I have a Raleigh Matterhorn mountain bike. No idea how much it was but I got it a loooong time ago when I was still in Sask. It serves me well! You're legit though haha that's some serious mileage! Ever want to ride your bike through the Rockies?
