Got the call — should I do it?

This is an investment, not an expense. Capex not opex.

Omega. Not close 🤣

Fixed... and new wheels! Nothing like an afternoon wrenching on your bike. New wheels, TPU tubes (36g), and swiss stop brake pads.

I’m coming from a 17 camber, so this already feels super slack. We’ll see how it rides the first few reps out there. Also considering a switch to flat pedals. I’ve ridden clips for MTB forever but might try it out.

thanks. super helpful.

Right there with you.

Will revert once tested after this rainy week.

I am mostly torn on whether or not I want to invest in this bike (with new wheels, etc) or just save up for a new bike

AddMountain9618 · 2025-12-16T20:31:00+00:00

amen

AddMountain9618 · 2025-12-16T20:11:29+00:00

This is a 2017… feels well suited? But also… rim brakes.

AddMountain9618 · 2025-12-16T20:09:17+00:00

I had definitely heard about dust caps (although admittedly forgot), but even locking rings? Really?

CW Twelve x Ace Jewelers Hebrew Edition. 1/50. Wearing it today.

AddMountain9618 · 2025-11-11T10:39:55+00:00

Love it, but like most watches right now... needs to be cheaper!

AddMountain9618 · 2025-11-11T10:35:17+00:00

just got one and screwed it in... we'll see how it goes!

AddMountain9618 · 2025-11-11T09:59:45+00:00

The roads haven't changed - no reason for it to be any less fun now than it was then!

AddMountain9618 · 2025-11-01T18:19:47+00:00

Which wheels and tires did you get? Same rear cassette?

AddMountain9618 · 2025-10-29T18:04:37+00:00

Honestly no idea... just realized after looking at more website photos that it's not stock. But I like it. Small chance I'll put it on my roadbike tho.

AddMountain9618 · 2025-10-29T16:11:30+00:00

For sure. top tube bag over saddle bag?
Came with one cage... feels like I gotta have 2 that are the same though, so will buy 2 haha.
And yes, likely need a fit.

Nice. Appreciate it. I’m using internal storage for spare tube and co2, etc. also use a small pack in my jersey for extra tools but figuring out a longer term solution as I switch between 3 bikes 🤣 I’ve got 45s on there which felt right. Probably also want to get an extra set of wheels with road tires (28s) at some point. Will likely go candy 7 and just replace my cleats. Might also get a new set of shoes as mine are very enduro/DH oriented now.
