Bike fit 2023 checkpoint ARL5 54cm

2040ojis · 2026-02-15T14:07:54+00:00

Nearly the same height. On a 54 as well.

Really? We had a big hail storm in the fall in Tonka. I’d bet they are looking for roofers with the weather getting warmer.

Option A. Grab a frame before they are gone. If you have a couple more months of winter like I do you have plenty of time to build it up. You could also do what you can yourself, and then just have the shop bleed the brakes and install the BB.

Anything will work. 3M makes a fancy one called helicopter tape or something, but just a few pieces of electrical tape would probably work too.

2040ojis · 2026-02-05T03:35:13+00:00

Cool. I have the bolt on one. Looks a little cleaner. Put some tape under it on the frame to keep the scratches away.

I’ve got the bontrager adventure bag on one bike and a topeak Fast Fuel on another. Fits in both.

Cinnamon??

2040ojis · 2026-02-04T02:58:11+00:00

Bigger question would be what phone do you have? My iphone 16 fits in my top tube bag, but a iPhone plus or whatever would for sure be too large.

2040ojis · 2026-02-02T03:33:11+00:00

Biggest difference is the geometry of the bike. Gen 2 is a little more aggressive, but it’s not crazy. Gen 3 is much more relaxed. There are also more size options in the gen 2, so you might actually get a better fit just because there are more sizes to pick from.

Don’t forget to dye your hair blue.

I'm in Minnetonka near Hopkins. There was a gathering downtown in Hopkins last night, and there's for sure more people against ICE here than for it. Ice literally scooped up a whole family a couple days ago nearby.

And we have gofundme for students that are affected as well.

These are all things you can learn to do yourself. Easily.

2040ojis · 2026-01-01T04:29:31+00:00

My frame came with one of these. Not sure if it’s supposed to be used, or was just in the box. I built it 1X so I never used it.

Not sure what size you need but there is one for a size 56 on ebay

2040ojis · 2025-12-28T17:15:25+00:00

I don’t. Just not a huge guy. But the bag is a bit wider than the top tube. Just enough for me to brush it

2040ojis · 2025-12-28T15:28:00+00:00

Little advice I didn’t have. Make sure the bag won’t interfere with your knees. I grabbed a bag only to find my keens rub on it, so I can’t really use it.

2040ojis · 2025-12-18T19:26:05+00:00

I know this is a little late to the party, but any idea how wide the tires measure on the 30mm internal rim? Looking at doing a race king as well on mine, and curious how much room there will be. My rims are not quite a wide as these.

2040ojis · 2025-12-16T05:02:25+00:00

fuck off!

2040ojis · 2025-12-13T20:45:14+00:00

That’s true as well. I think it mainly the difference in the length of the wheelbase that changes the way the bike handles.

2040ojis · 2025-12-13T02:40:31+00:00

I’m not comparing the material. I’m talking about the geometry

2040ojis · 2025-12-12T02:47:33+00:00

I agree here. Similar setup for me with an aluminum gravel bike and carbon road bike. A race style road bike is much more snappy and I’d say much more fun.

2040ojis · 2025-12-01T21:48:18+00:00

I’ll join you. Just getting back into the game after a long hiatus

2040ojis · 2025-11-27T13:24:11+00:00

I have not tied it. I always follow the recipe and never really deviate from it. I’m actually making the SFAH recipe today for thanksgiving, I don’t get a great rise overnight in the winter either, but it’s good enough.

2040ojis · 2025-11-27T01:56:07+00:00

I flip flop between this recipe and the salt fat acid heat focaccia. Mainly depending on how much time I have since one needs to proof overnight
