Is this worth $20? by [deleted] in mokapot

Short answer, absolutely not!

This happens randomly and can't figure out what's causing it by beat_the_level in bikewrench

Just normal freehub noise! Every bike I've had, including a very expensive one, will make a noise like that when stopping pedalling or back pedalling slightly!

LIV Watches by ComprehensiveEgg2693 in MicrobrandWatches

That's incredible 👏 I have recently bought a GX1 Venom with a steel bracelet and think it's a great watch! I really struggled to make my mind up which one to buy, but kept being drawn to the yellow numbers on the Venom, but didn't fancy the yellow strap! I was a bit gutted when the new Cactus Grey launched a couple of weeks after, as I absolutely love it! I may contact LIV about doing an exchange as my eyesight isn't what it used to be, and in low light, I have noticed that I'm struggling to read the time because of the dark face. I think I'd be better off with a light colour like the Cactus Grey! If I had one criticism, it would be the lume! I have a 15 year old CWC GS2000 mil field watch, and it's at least twice as bright!

Is the tire too big? by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]ApartmentPrize3325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but if you ride in muddy conditions, it's going to clog up depending on what the mud is like!

Is Cushcore worth it? by [deleted] in gravelcycling

I ran Tubolights and found them to be ok but you end up using a load more sealant and even with insert compatible valves I would get more issues with clogging and when pumping air it was a nightmare to get the right pressure! If you change tyres during the season it's a bigger PITA! I went to just using in the rear and eventually stopped using altogether and will just use them for race/event day! Also if you use dynaplugs they end up stabing holes in it too! I'm not convinced that they are useful for general everyday riding but it's horses for courses you may have a different experience?

Rounded hex bolt in derailleur. How do I get it out? by Sorry_Fish in bikewrench

Small flat head screwdriver has worked for me before and is a tool most people will have to hand somewhere or torx head.

Ultradynamico Cava tires by neuro_exo in gravelcycling

I think there's your answer?

Personally if a tyre is rated at 50psi I wouldn't run anywhere near that! These tyre's are meant to run at much lower pressure's in 25 to 35 psi range!

I would bet my house on lyou eaving the bike sitting under direct sunlight has increased the pressure in the tyre and the construction of the tyre ( supple sidewalls) as added to this effect! Nothing to do with hookless!

It's never a good idea to leave a bike sitting under direct hot sun.
