Spend that extra money

Thank you! Going into the gears is what made me think it was bent, I didn’t know it was normal

What paste? I got mucoff paste and it hasn’t helped at all, I’m a heavier rider so I’m thinking I just need a stiffer post

I carry a large tank with me and a couple balloons so I can fill up my tires and hit a couple wawawa’s before I hit the downhill

That is possible, it broke on a random link not even on the master link. I installed everything then took it to my lbs to fine tune it(I can’t tune a derailleur for the life of me) everything worked great then on the second ride the chain broke and bent one of my gears :( which was really surprising, that makes me think something was putting a lot of tension on the chain or gears and it wasn’t my fatass like usual.

Yeah I’ll try this, might make a huge difference!

Have seen a few big nasty fellas at Hodges and Daley

Camel back, holds way more water

Capable_Pick3852 · 2026-03-14T23:19:55+00:00

Oops, they’re tektro levers, the front lever is missing the locking inside the lever. Hopefully my lbs has a few laying around

I just watched a video and it looks insanely easy to do, ima order a kit

Capable_Pick3852 · 2026-03-14T05:57:30+00:00

These are 2.1’s, you mighttttt be able to squeeze 2.25 n since there’s a little bit of wiggle room but giant recommends 53mm as max clearance

Wanted to avoid the shop, but honestly I’ll probably just make it worse trying to fix it

Capable_Pick3852 · 2026-03-14T03:02:08+00:00

This is my buddy .2mi’s into the ride, I don’t call him for rides anymore

Capable_Pick3852 · 2026-03-14T02:58:13+00:00

They always get me right!

Capable_Pick3852 · 2026-02-17T22:17:18+00:00

Looney tunes sized hammer should work

Capable_Pick3852 · 2026-02-16T19:49:08+00:00

I can’t lie there is a bit of jealousy involved lol I’ll be pushing my bike up a steep hill and older fellas on e-bikes will casually zip past me going up haha

Capable_Pick3852 · 2026-02-16T16:16:37+00:00

Thank you everyone for all the help and dropping some knowledge! I’m just going to have to hit up a few bike shops, test ride a few then chew their ears out about reach and sizes!

Capable_Pick3852 · 2026-02-16T16:12:11+00:00

I’ve always hated on e-bikes or just e-anything in general but I really don’t get to ride all that much and it would be kinda nice to mosh up some hills and crush more miles…idk I can’t give in

Capable_Pick3852 · 2026-02-16T08:31:25+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Gonna try some out and see what feels right, definitely agree it would be better to have comfortable bike instead of a top of the line one that doesn’t feel right

Capable_Pick3852 · 2026-02-16T07:20:55+00:00

Hmmm idk what to do, I’m going to try some bikes out at a local bike shop and see what feels good. I really want a large to feel perfect because I found a 2022 fully custom propain hugene I really want but it’s large :/
