CANNONDALE QUICK 6 HYBRID BIKE REVIEW
มุมมอง 5K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
This Cannondale Quick 6 hybrid bike is one of my favorite bicycles. It has 21 gears and has an aluminum alloy frame. It has micro-suspension and is great for road biking, dirt biking, and even gravel biking. However, it does not quite have mountain biking capabilities. It has a lightweight frame and I have used it for long distance biking and even bikepacking/bike touring multiple times. The ra...

    They are summer bags. Ignore any claims they are for cold. However, if you add a liner and a bivy, you can greatly extend its temp range.

    I have the same brand in the lime green. My advice is to wash the sleeping bag (even when new) using Nikwax TechWash and Nikwax Down Proof (add it as a fabric softener) in a large commercial horizontal washing machine set to gentle wash. (Use a laundromat)Tumble Dry with 3 new tennis balls (to break up the clumps of wet down) and air dry setting. This will almost double the loft of the goose down and make it lots warmer in use. I washed 2 puffy coats + 3 sleeping bags all at once and it really made a big difference.

    Hotel stay is the biggest exoense. Avoid holidays to keep your cost lower. By pass the bouy & go for Mile Marker 0 instead. Food is relative to what you buy. It's super easy to avoid Duval by using a parallel side street. Walking gets you to most places but yes bring good walking shies.

    The orange version (Granite) is very similar, but color is not the only difference. The Peridot's bathtub floor is substantially deeper. I find the very deep bathtub floor a little inconvenient when getting into and out of the tent. I leave my shoes outside of the inner, and the bathtub is so deep that I can't easily take my shoes on and off without bringing them into the tent. I'm happy with the Peridot, but I'd buy the Granite if I had it to do over. The deeper floor has other advantages though. Both are out of stock at Featherstone now anyway.

    My one time visiting KW and this is what I learned traveling mostly solo after splitting a townhouse for 3 nights at a resort on the western side of the island just before the bridge to Stock Island. The resort is actually decent and quite affordable if sharing the rent. There is even a great little local bar there on property and after being out in the crowds all day it’s nice to relax in the ease of your resort. It’s The Coconut Mallory Resort And Marina. From there I stayed at NYAH (Not Your Average Hotel) and was in an all female shared room of 4 comfortable bunk beds with a shared bathroom in the room. You get a key to the room plus a decent size locker as well. You spend all your time outdoors anyways exploring and it is within walking distance to Duvall street, Sunset Mallory Square, The main harbor marina and I even walked to Fort Zackery in 15 minutes. You get a full continental breakfast every morning to fill your belly and fill up your water bottle at their water station. Also free coffee any time in the lobby. 3 decent pools & a jacuzzi plus you meet the coolest people also staying there from all over the globe. I paid on average $120 a night including the extra tax at time of checking in. Seriously you can visit KW on a budget. I bought my alcohol and cigarettes at Walgreens as needed and just enjoyed walking Duvall Street and treating myself as I saw fit with my budget. My favorite spot to be honest was Simonton Beach where all the locals go to enjoy the gulf side. Met so many locals from those who have retired there, to those who work in the hospitality industry to even the beach bums:) They are all uniquely beautiful souls living their lives in paradise! I even was blessed to have flown direct round trip from Indy to KW for $100 on Allegiant Airlines! Haha AND missed my flight home and figured out how to survive another 7 days without any reservations! Highly recommend NYAH, Coconut Mallory Resort & Marina and also rented an Airbnb sailboat by the Fresh Fish Market that came with bikes to ride around Stock Island on and even went back onto KW:) Where there is a will to visit, there is a way💪👁️🙌

    I've been to Key West several times, planning is the key for hotels or B&Bs all accommodations...It's not really expensive to eat, the food is amazing and the chefs at top notch...you get what you pay for! It's a tourists area, plus the people who live there are sometimes working 2-3 jobs to afford rent. Without those workers, there is no Key West vacation. I will return in 2025!

    Thank you for finally being someone on TH-cam that shows close up visuals and discussion of parts, for the bike nerds, but also your subjective review of the quality and ride and why you think that (for normal people like me). The voiceover instead of text on the screen allows me to do other things, walk around, look at the links, be a busy adult, etc. I wouldn't have minded you giving some subjective opinions on a few more of the parts you mention, but "have never had a problem with it" and "quick", and "REI benefits", and "reliable", "leightweight", "good price", and "will not let you down" are so much more helpful than the reviews that just list parts on the bike, which you could see on the sales page, or ones that hyper-focus on things that nobody really cares about "I don't like the kickstand" or things that are not irrelevant but not really the priority of most people ("the gear change made a scary noise"). In summary, refreshing review.

    I've had this bag for years now and I absolutely love it. If you primarily camp in warm/cool weather this is perfect. I've taken it down to low 40s with a heavyweight base layer. That way i'm already wearing something warm when i crawl out of bed in the morning. I wouldnt even bother with the compression sack just stuff it in the bottom of your backpack.

  • @rickkaylor8554
    @rickkaylor8554 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Really nice review. Great job! I got this bag about 5 years ago and love it. It still lofts up well and the quality is great for the cost. I used it this weekend when the temperature got down to about 45F degrees. I was warm all night and used it like a quilt. I live in southern California so the weather doesn't usually get that cold. I use a Mountain Hardware down bag if I think I'm going to be in colder weather - below 40 degrees. I really like that it compresses to such a small size and weighing only 1 lb is great at keeping that base weight down.

    I have been very happy with this tent. Camped numerous times in heavy rain/thunderstorm and stayed perfectly dry and tent was solid. Set up is easy and it's great that you can use the rainfly and ground cloth separately from the inner tent. It has been helpful when setting up and taking down in rain. It is heavier than some big outdoor name brands, but a solid backpacking tent for 1/4 of the price of those.
