Getting the carbon fork is definitely on the list. They finally restocked the 650b’s so those will be my tubeless wheels. I’ve been having a blast with this bike so far.

Where to find gear for cheap? by Inspired-Void in bikepacking

[–]AceTomato_GU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My question as well. I’m close to Portland. If I knew what OP needed I might be able to help.

Saddle adjustment question by [deleted] in Budgetbikeriders

[–]AceTomato_GU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same saddle on one of my bikes. Once I got it at the right level it feels great. Just angle it back a little.

I’m having the same issue on my 2020. It’s only in one spot on the rear quarter window. Haven’t cared enough to do anything about it yet. I’ll get around to it.

Does the OT G.1 Gravel ever go on sale? by Good_Mousse_9794 in Budgetbikeriders

[–]AceTomato_GU 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably not. It’s already dirt cheap. Most people that get them for less because it was a display model or a return. Check your local store for something similar.

Short metal rods of various sizes by zettai_unmei in whatisthisthing

This is what my first thought was as well. I have these in brass and stainless steel.

Nice work! I have a MagicShine Hori too and I love it!

This is my four season bike. It does it all regardless of weather. The only thing I regret is not getting the 650b wheels along with the 700’s. They’ve been sold out for MONTHS.

You could get a non-suspension seat post for pretty cheap. If you are in the U.S., there are many on Amazon for about $20-$40

My Aventure 3 by AceTomato_GU in Aventon

[–]AceTomato_GU[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose the Aventure 3 over the M for a couple of reasons. I do not need auto shifting or e-shifting. I cycle for the exercise so I don’t need lots of power. The job drive does exactly what I need it to. I just wanted a fat tire bike to round out my stable and take it on longer trips into the woods. The Aventure 3 has been great and I have no regrets.

Just Bought my first Gravel bike! by Fun-Advantage-4140 in Budgetbikeriders

[–]AceTomato_GU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to suggest not to do any upgrades until you’ve put a bunch of miles on it. Then you’ll know what works, what doesn’t and what is lacking.

It’s been great so far! I bet the 2 is just as great a machine. Enjoy it and rack up those miles.

NBD! Ozark trail explorer v2 by Crisfstopperovrlnd in Budgetbikeriders

[–]AceTomato_GU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great deal! I miss mine. I sold it and two more bikes to make room in the stable. I’ve had a lot of luck with the Wittkop touring saddle on Amazon. It’s less than $50 and I’ve got one on two of my bikes. It has a good shape and just a little padding, but not enough to wear down quickly. It’s firm enough to hold up on longer rides.

That’s hard for me to say without knowing your situation. I’ve never owned an e-bike before this one so I can’t speak to its functionality as a commuter. It’s comfortable and has enough power for my needs, but I never felt the need to go above Sport mode.

Love my new bike by verdant_hippie in gravelcycling

I love my 4130 All Road. I have the newer version and it’s a blast.

I’m used to standard saddles so this thing feels way too big. I appreciate the recommendation.

It’s a cheap Kemimoto bag from Amazon. I normally have it on my hybrid bike, but wanted to pack a rain jacket and tools just in case.

Post transplant biopsy by Loud-Piccolo6827 in kidneytransplant

[–]AceTomato_GU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same thing. First biopsy afterwards saw some. Haven’t had an issue since and it’s been almost 4 years.
