In my case, since 2018 if the product doesn't have USB-C I don't buy it, or if posible I replace the cables, like in old hard drives. Other thing is, if a product has USB-A ports also I don't buy it, I don't have anything with that port, I wouldn't use it, wasted space in my case.

-USB-C has been out for 10 years. -There are USB-C to USB-A adapters available for 3 bucks, you don't need the Apple one. -Most wireless mice can pair via Bluetooth as a higher latency alternative to a dongle. -More versatile and adaptable ports are a better option than committing limited real-estate and available USB controllers on the chipset to ports you could end up not using.

I like USB-C, but the accessories market has yet to catch up with it. USB-A hasn’t phased out totally yet. USB-C/ Bluetooth mice/ keyboards need to become affordable, and reach the same price. It’s a bigger deal for Apple’s most affordable computer. It’s about time though, you’re right, just means more money to spend annoyingly.

No Classic USB-A is inconvenient but ultimately a good thing. It’s a bad port because it’s directional but hard to tell which way is up. USB-C is just better and should’ve replaced everything a decade ago. Nice video tho 👍🏻

Hey John, that looks like a fantastic trail. Curious about that Osmo you used with your phone. I hadn't seen one before. It appears to work quite well with the exception of a little wind noise. There are a lot of different brands on Amazon, why did you choose this one?

Appears you made a good choice in the Salsa, John. Ditto on the disc brakes. I've had to change out the front pads on two of my bikes and the Trek FX3 my wife rides because of squealing. No rhyme or reason it seems to the cause but once replaced, no more noise. The Journeyer, as well as a lot of gravel bikes being sold today, are reminiscent of older touring bikes, those do-it-all workhorses of yesteryear, but with better geometry and components. Enjoy!

Great video. I had an old Schwinn Varsity 10 speed. It was used by both my older brothers and handed down to me. I started riding it when I was in high school in the mid 70's and rode it until I was in my 40's. I rebuilt it and added some upgrades in the early 80's eventually handing it down to my son. I'm not sure if he still has it. I rode that bike everywhere, on the road, gravel and trails. It took a beating but never let me down. I replaced many tires on it, but never had a flat no matter what terrain I rode it on. Your video brought back a lot of good memories of simpler times. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, John... Don't know what your intent is with this old bike, but it sounds like it has a ton of sentimental value to you. Might want to hold off getting rid of it, just for a bit to avoid future regret. I've owned a couple bikes in my time including an '87 Schwinn Sierra mountain bike and '84 Schwinn Le Tour Luxe touring bike. Both bikes I let go and almost immediately regretted it. As there was no chance in finding the originals, I did acquire these models once again, both in exceptional shape. You can never have too many bikes. I still have my son's '86 16 inch wheel, Schwinn Jeda. He's 35 and my grandsons got to ride it too. ...and if you haven't decided on a gravel bike, yet... I suggest checking out the Poseidon Redwood. Exceptional value, it won't break your bank account.
