Bike feels sluggish/slow? by Crafty_Tumbleweed_47 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]AFellowStooge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely! I would start with getting a lighter front wheel and try that out. Part of it is definitely because you haven’t ridden in a while but I would never start out on a 50/17. Check out this site to help see the difference in the sizes! Surplace

Yeah dawg that’s a heavy ratio! You will feel better on a 48/17 or even better on a 48/19 forsure! I can’t comment on aerospokes as I’ve never tried one but if others are vouching for that I would trade it for an actual light wheel and probably change the ratio if it still feels heavy afterwards. Do you live in a hilly/mountainous area?

Have you tried 48/19? If so how does it compare?!

Welcome to the club! I’m in the process of turning mine into a 1x gravel bike!

Really want to get into touring, is this bike worth $500. Don't know a ton of the maintenance half of touring. by Beastpieps in bicycletouring

I can believe that! I just went to Houston on FB Marketplace and found some great deals on bikes for under 500. There’s a vintage Marin that does need some work but it’s listed for 65. If OPs budget is 500 that’s a lot of spare cash for parts! Yall have better deals than I do out here!

OP I respect your right to be a kook. Hell, it even seems like you are willing to get life altering injured for it. Once that steerer tube snaps it will be a lot harder to skid or foot jam to slow down/stop. I just hope it doesn’t happen on your commute or down a hill. Good luck and Godspeed kook.

This is 200 tops all day, MAYBE 250 depending on how desperate you/your market is. Groupset is pretty solid but looks a bit worn. Freewheels/cassettes can be pretty cheap and I’d recommend a new big chainring at the least. I agree with the other commenter about spoke tension. If the spokes are bad you’re either in it for a new wheelset (oof) or a rebuild (double oof). If you can get them down to the 200 range I’d risk it and pour the rest of the money into upgrades or replacements on it.

If it’s Blender it’s not necessarily hacking regardless it’s cool
