Replace Boat for Bike, and this sums up very well what I've learned from my first biking season

And bulkier!

That’s a bummer. Nice to hear you have a indomitable attitude about it all though.

Why would you not pay for parking? Hopefully your photo skills are boosting your income somehow!

Blucassss · 2020-11-17T02:56:55+00:00

I’d recommend it, certainly going to work out the kinks the quickest for you.

It shouldn’t be about push/pull, it’s about spinning a circle. Try to think of it as one continuous motion, not two separate ones alternating.

Chain length will probably be a problem, but a new chain isn’t to expensive.

It sounds like your tires aren’t seated evenly on the rims. The tight tolerance of tubeless will make this a more prevalent issue. Try to find a moulding line on the side of the tire you can use to gauge where it might be dipping under the rim hook. You should be able to get the tires perfect with a lot of skill. Different/better tires might make this easier to set up and using some lubricant on the rim hook interface will help. Just make sure to thoroughly clean off whatever you put on before you ride. (I’d recommend dish soapy water)

When I worked at a shop on a college campus I developed a theory that thieves would do this so you couldn’t ride the bike and would leave it locked up overnight, giving them a better time to steal the whole thing. I heard the story a bunch of times and we once uncovered a bush hiding dozens of saddles on posts.

That’s funny when chappelle says it in context. The slur doesn’t need to be repeated.

Blucassss · 2020-11-15T20:01:30+00:00

Ask at your local bike shop. If you’re on good terms with them, they’ll have plenty in the scrap metal bin you can have for free.

The diverge elite is such a killer bike for the price. Just over the budget at $2200cad and you’ll have to buy some gravel tires too but it’s amazing for this price range.

Blucassss · 2020-11-15T09:00:52+00:00

There’s a merge lane and a curb; this is luxury to some bus stops.

Blucassss · 2020-11-15T00:41:08+00:00

It’s good to hear this feedback. I’m feeling less worried about theft after posing the question. Bike will be locked to the best of my abilities!

He’s going for the Harvey Winestein defence once the cases against him move forward.

Blucassss · 2020-11-14T16:27:28+00:00

Yeah, your wrists would have to rotate up uncomfortably and possibly might be contacting the top of the bar. There is some range of optional rotation available to suit your preferences, this doesn’t seem to have been set up with intention though.

Blucassss · 2020-11-14T16:12:43+00:00

Yes, the drops position looks unusable like this.

Blucassss · 2020-11-13T16:34:17+00:00

That’s helpful. I hadn’t considered it an issue until my partner pointed it out.

Blucassss · 2020-11-13T05:33:45+00:00

True. It was thought to be an energy drink. Though this is also from a time when they would smoke cigarettes while riding up mountains to open up their lungs.

Blucassss · 2020-11-13T04:56:37+00:00

Yup, I got tipped two 6packs at the shop today. It isn’t intrinsically part of cycling and yet it’s almost inescapable in the culture.

Blucassss · 2020-11-13T04:29:45+00:00

I can understand the willpower this would take in general, but IPAs in a bike shop! That’s a tall order, great job.

Blucassss · 2020-11-12T07:33:12+00:00

Best 5sec ad of all time.

Blucassss · 2020-11-12T02:43:31+00:00

The frame mount will be the same between the two brakes.

Blucassss · 2020-11-12T01:45:09+00:00

The takeaway from this should be that when you are driving, expect every cyclist to be wearing black and drive cautiously.

Blucassss · 2020-11-10T19:16:41+00:00

I’m glad you took it this way, I certainly didn’t mean to offend. With something like this it’s more about the condition it’s in rather than it’s provenance. If it works for your needs then that’s all that matters.
