I got a great deal on a 2021 used GT agressor pro, everything is stock. my plan is to ride it until the parts wear out and then upgrade to better gear...i'm already watching tutorials on how to clean and adjust mechanic disc breaks

i just realized i will need tools and chain lube and a helmet I guess

Got my gal a buttery trek 850. Nice 90s cro-mo bike that's looks to have barely been ridden. Very comfortable geometry and mechanically mint. $40. I'm probably gonna ride it more than her

Fairdale has the skate racks in stock. Just ordered one.

I just had a set of Continental Terra speed 35c tubeless installed on my gravel bike, and I put a set of 28c vitoria rubino pro on my road bike. Anyone running 28s on road?

switched from conti gp5000 25 to 28 (both tubeless) this spring. best decision. first two rides felt awkwardly slow until i saw my data post ride being faster than usual. it just felt much more comfortable (most likely due to the lower pressure) and that fucked with my head. cant see myself going back.

I ride 28’s on my single speed road bike. Made a huge difference going up to them. Smoother ride, less flats overall just more fun.

that's how I felt, I dd 50k Sunday morning, it felt slow, felt smooth but the data was pretty much the same as my average ride, maybe a little slower.
I haven't committed to tubeless on the road, I tried a few years ago and I hated it. Its the best for gravel or mountain bikes.

the wheels i upgraded to were tubeless ready, so i gave it a shot. now im 1 1/2 years in, little more than 10k km, not a single puncture even though i am riding partly on shitty roads and gravel. i understand that it can be a hassle if it doesnt work, but for me, so far it worked like a charm.

My fairdale skate rack is missing, I can't find it anywhere and I don't think I remember putting it anywhere.

I have a feeling it was stolen off my bike, they're really hard to get in Japan

Maybe Jenson? Idk, my local bike shop has a pretty good website and it links to the distribution inventory, so they can order whatever’s out there.

What are you looking for?

This place is a great company with great customer service, but they deal with more high end equipment.

Andmoreagain · « **Reply #2324 on:** July 27, 2021, 12:55:05 PM »

I haven't found a good online retailer for bike parts. Jenson has everything I need but the shipping takes forever and prices aren't much less than my local bike shop.

cky enthusiast · « **Reply #2325 on:** July 27, 2021, 01:51:08 PM »

just have your shop order it through their distro, if they can’t get it chances are you won’t be able to either and you’ll still need them to install it.

boi-cuzudo · « **Reply #2326 on:** July 27, 2021, 02:45:03 PM »

Thank you for the help/tips Pals! As long as I'm not buying from a Remive sort of business. I'm still learning what brands are cool in the MTB world and what is not legit.

I need a 35mm long stem I believe and I want to convert my front gears from 3x to 1x, I have no idea what I will buy

Enrico Pallazzo · « **Reply #2328 on:** July 27, 2021, 09:26:24 PM »

Putting my vote in for probikesupply.com - they have a brick and mortar that's close to me and the dudes who work there are super rad and helpful, far less vibey than any other bike shop in the area. They rip too

God speed. I thought about doing that to my old mtb but the rabbit hole I went down wasn’t worth it. Don’t be this guy.

"New" bike! Giant TCR Advanced 0 Di2 Ultegra. I had a CAAD10 before it, which I actually enjoyed more. More fun, stiffer, felt faster

arrbee · « **Reply #2332 on:** July 29, 2021, 12:27:33 PM »

Mixed terrain ride with @410 last week in San Francisco.

I rented the Cannondale Topstone, Specialzed Diverge is 410's. The Golden Gate bridge is behind that fog. From sunset over the bridge through Marin headlands/Golden Gate National Recreation Area loop back over the bridge up Market to Mission through Soma back over to Sunset.

TCR’s are sick. i got mine secondhand and had 0 complaints with it. it wasn’t the “highest end” but i got on a few local podiums with it. you’re gonna dig it.

Vintagebody · « **Reply #2335 on:** July 31, 2021, 12:16:17 AM »

I've done 540km on it so far. I do enjoy it. Its a comfy ride. But I dont dig it. My CAAD10 with Campag Zonda wheelset was much stiffer, and ofc, did not hide vibrations as well as a carbon bike will do. So you feel like ur flying, while ur actually going pretty slow

buffalo hunter · « **Reply #2336 on:** July 31, 2021, 06:15:11 PM »

I retired my TCR a few months ago with 40,000 miles. Took me places I never dreamed about going too. Excellent bike

love that topview, looks classy.

gonna pick up a new stem tomorrow and maybe a handlebar.

i have this dream that involves expensive imports. namely oury v2 grips in gum from blue lug. and then i want to get a brooks cambium in orange. that thing looks like a basketball basically, it's sick. also it rains like hell here and i'm tired of a wet ass after every rainshower. my saddle sucks up so much water it's not even funny. and i did the plastic bag thing but come on, i don't want ride around like this. that cambium would be weather proof and my butt would be less wet just from sitting.

anyone got experiences with oury v2 grips or cambium saddles?

I have a brooks cambium on one of my rigs. Does a number on the crotch of pants. No issues if I’m running bibs though.
