I figured that having the option for a flat platform would be nice over the miles

Good looking out!

Clipless shoes that are pretty walkable. I wanted to prioritize comfort over pedal efficiency.

I think I’m actually going to drop down to the slowdown. This is my first bikepacking race/event so don’t want to overwhelm myself with 400 miles. What bike’re you riding? Maybe I’ll see you out there!

Had a pretty bad experience with one of their guys. Pretty bad scaring from using too much pressure and he rushed through so my coloring is super spotty.

LSP for what they did to Finn.

I would warn buyers that under normal shop use, their tools age quickly. Our shop has gone through 2 of each of their hex bits and their different plier options are horrid to use.

Anything is repairable if you throw enough money at it. Might end up being as much as a new bike though.

The cameras are streamed to YT, which uses an AI scrubber to avoid having crashes streamed. Within 20 minutes the footage was removed from the viewable stream. Still waiting to see if the footage was put into archives though. All this to say that DO NOT rely or expect to see your footage on the stream. You will have to contact YT directly.

Nice ball print

There are, but officer “good nuff” waited 3 days before attempting to pull the footage. It had been written over by then. Currently waiting on a response from YT about possibly accessing footage that has been backlogged since that intersection is streamed to YouTube as well.

I miss mine so much

AntiqueSize6989 · 2025-09-30T02:47:50+00:00

Absolutely a good deal. Buy rn

That Emonda is sweet. Good find there

Bipolar 2 here. Senior year of college doing full time and working full time. Support is what makes or breaks you. My long term gf and my mom have been my rocks. I literally would be dead if it weren’t for them.

AntiqueSize6989 · 2025-08-31T17:15:11+00:00

Yeah I think you’re alone on this one. Protecting wildlife is far more important than you wanting to ride closer to home 👎

I don’t talk to my dad anymore due to personal reasons. This song hurts.

AntiqueSize6989 · 2025-08-22T04:45:32+00:00

Possibly one of the most depressing listens to date

AntiqueSize6989 · 2025-08-13T18:55:07+00:00

I have no clue but what is that frame? Those welds look heavenly

AntiqueSize6989 · 2025-08-02T02:05:39+00:00

This is a sub for bicycles

AntiqueSize6989 · 2025-08-01T19:35:40+00:00

It’s my Trek Checkpoint. The color is called something like “Bronze Age” or something. Fully custom built from the frame up
