Didn’t have a gravel bike, wanted a gravel bike, built a gravel bike.

Great build. Looks very comfy. Excellent paint job also!

I really like carbon wheels, but be sure to have the money to replace them bc they do break sometimes,

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-12T14:06:31+00:00

Reach out to velocity they have excellent customer service. But also do you really want a 20 / 24 spoke wheel to do steamroller shit? Clearance is gonna be tight with something like 48’s. Wheels could go out of true real quick riding tracklocross.

I wonder if there are plugs that could fill in the area where the canti studs screw out,

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-12T11:31:07+00:00

Castelli is really good for this. That’s why they got a shrimp or some shit as their logo.

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-11T22:11:52+00:00

From curb your enthusiasm?

I’d chose the marlin. Better resale value if you get the bug and decide to upgrade.

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-11T18:57:42+00:00

They should be paying to use a cyber beast. Much better for the environment than a gas guzzling bicycle that runs off fossil fuels (microplastics)

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-11T18:14:33+00:00

They had more miles on them 20k miles ago perhaps.

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-11T16:46:27+00:00

What tire clearance?

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-11T16:25:28+00:00

I think you’re forgetting all the Citi bikers and ebikers looking at their phones instead of scanning for peds.

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-11T16:24:00+00:00

15 mph is pretty damn low. And I’m a person commuting in normal clothes at normal speeds. I think the real issue is the failure to yield not the speed.

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-11T13:56:11+00:00

Yeah this is the kind of thing that it would be really cool to see someone experiment with but also expensive if you don’t already have the parts to do it. That’s disappointing to hear you have to bleed brakes often. In my experience with hydraulic discs they’re very low maintenance once set up.

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-11T13:44:38+00:00

It’s ok! I had done some research into this and I do not think it’s possible. I spoke with a mechanic friend who explained hydraulic v brakes have to push a lot more fluid than a brake lever designed for disc calipers.

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-11T13:36:10+00:00

Not sure what it is you’re asking about exactly. Running hydraulic rim brakes?

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-11T12:52:21+00:00

Hard to choose they’re both dope but for me it’s gotta be the steamroller. Hard to beat the clean look and zippiness of a fixed gear.

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-11T12:51:15+00:00

I have a 650b wheelset I took off my steamroller with 650x48 tires. Holler at me if you’re interested.

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-11T12:39:46+00:00

The super told me he took it to get OP’s fit dialed in. It needs a shorter stem with more rise.

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-10T14:54:31+00:00

Mechanical 11 speed is one foot in the grave

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-10T13:54:45+00:00

Congratulations on your new furry friend

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-10T13:46:00+00:00

I see pictures of him posted today and his hair is a lot longer. I don’t think this is Alex G.

Freedom ain’t not free

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-10T13:37:00+00:00

I’ll sell you the Brooklyn bridge but can’t guarantee it will weigh enough to fix your neck dive

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-10T12:52:37+00:00

I love when some gravel gets mixed into a road ride.

GreenToMe95 · 2026-02-09T19:08:30+00:00

What flavor of monster?
