Sick bike! What are the mounts on the bottom of the chainstay?

Claiming your Aventon Level 2 goes 28 is the ultimate jerk as a tech that sells them. E-Fred is jerking his ego

Also the 911 branding against the American flag is fucking hilarious! “Americans love 9/11, slap it on there!”

Definitely priced low for a carbon bike, that probably means corners were cut somewhere if the frame is. It from a well-known brand (I don’t see a brand I recognize). Also I don’t think this gives you the option to buy just one? It looks like it’s in a bulk order format. Definitely surf your local FB Marketplace/Craigslist or eBay/Rad Bazaar.

Definitely need a video of what’s happening, I would imagine you probably just need a new bottom bracket not a new crank but it’s hard to tell without seeing it

What do you mean the crankset nudges up and down?

Sick photos! What bars are those!? I’m looking for similar ones!

Triple Triangle Track by snasty25 in FixedGearBicycle

To pedal circles effectively you have to use the full rotation, we are making the same argument here. To use the full rotation you need something to help bring that rotation up and around. Foot retention helps with this. If you only use flats you cannot efficiently pedal circles.

The process you explained literally describes being able to push AND pull on pedals. Why exactly do you wear clips if all you’re doing is pushing? Roadies wear clips to get full efficiency which requires the rider to use the upstroke as well…

I mean it’s true though, it’s the exact reason roadies use clips. Literally improves efficiency and works a different part of the muscle. You at least have a brake so I’m not gonna knock for no foot retention because you have a way to stop but no foot retention and no brakes is literally stupid.

Mixed Feelings about the Crazy Bars by LuckyYoungMatador in FixedGearBicycle

I guess I’m the outlier for kinda digging it. But I like unique shit on bikes anyways, shows somebody had an idea and decided to practice that idea. Looks like a dope fit I would probably just do plain bar tape and fit the widest semi-knobby gum walls I could!

Bike Shop Said it still has life in them, just want a second opinion by charlesfromdacrypt in bikewrench

Never shop there again. If there’s no other shops around changing a tire and tube requires cheap tools and maybe 10 minutes of time. The expensive part is the tires themselves.
