I think in the medium term this is problem for all standards now. In several years I bet the 12mm thru axle will be undesirable because now everyone is using 15mm for (insert marketing reasons here) and there will be limited options for replacement.

You're definitely right that qr has been phased out (for marginal gains for most), just lamenting the days of simple universal standards.
I've ridden mountain/ road bikes for years and have never had a problem with a qr going bad, being and weak point or causing any problem.

There is no doubt that the through bolt design is stronger, but I doubt that most riders have ever had a problem with qr.
Salsa, and not even close really. Its better all the way down the spec sheet.

Good started for a bike? My wife just got a Walmart trail bike and I've been wanting something to get into it too. I don't mind spending a little if it's a good bike
Yes, and this is so much better than a Walmart bike. Solid quality frame and components. Comes in a wide variety of frame sizes to get the perfect fit. Will be professionally assembled and comes with a year of free service.

Agree. All of my older bikes (road/mountain) ran QRs for years----there was no other option except maybe for downhill bikes. Especially if you were just riding road or XC. But now they're putting TA on everything---even my new gravel bike has them.

However, I'm not used to seeing a 141mm rear hub....old school mountain hubs that I'm used to seeing are 135mm for QR. I wonder if these are actually boost hub shells with end cap adaptors to make them compatible for frames that requires QRs?

I'd probably get the Roscoe, if it fits you. Most likely it will have better specs, and if it's in mint condition that's not a bad deal considering it's quite a bit more when new.

Killer deal. Hate these cool forks though. It would be better if it was just rigid, but then people don't think it's a "mountain" bike.

On the surface, that used bike seems to be a great deal. But if it's not as good as portrayed, maintenance costs on the fork, brakes, drivetrain and wheels could be high.

Sadly the history of bicycles is not one of simple universal standards.

I'm still a noob at bike knowledge. If I have a 7x3, what can I do to make my bike faster? Eventually I hit top speed on flats with my cadence. Make my front cassette larger? I think it's 42t

The $599 Grand Canyon 5 is last years model and only available in L or XL, so if you're under 6ft it'll be too big. Grand Canyon 5 has a better drivetrain but less travel fork, and has a straight steerer head tube which really limits fork upgrades. If you plan on riding less challenging trails & want something you don't plan on modifying, the GC5 will be the better bet. But if you plan on dabbling into some more technical trails and plan on doing future upgrades, the Salsa would have my vote.

What is wrong with qr rear?
Not really anything just that the Rangefinder frame isn't that old, I'm not sure why they went with an older standard besides cost savings. For bike packing it should be fine.
