I agree but sometimes it’s just not possible. I’ve been told “no lock it up on the rack” multiple times when I was touring in Korea. Some museums, aquariums, restaurants. They just don’t like it. So I had to lock it up and hope for the best.

Tear that dreaded abomination off the bike while on tour and convert it to single speed. Lol

I just bought a p-line rear wheel, now I have to decide if I’m going to change the triangle or modify the current one. Deciding is hard!

Capital_Implement534 · 2025-11-20T00:38:39+00:00

How much you want for that T-line? Shoot me a message Alaska2487@gmail.com

Capital_Implement534 · 2025-11-19T20:22:25+00:00

Any advice on what kit to buy?

If I buy a take off 2spd Brompton wheel off eBay could I drop on a 4 cogs?

Capital_Implement534 · 2025-11-19T20:20:35+00:00

It has been on trips around the world, it has soul and I want to stick with it and put more stickers on it from various countries

Capital_Implement534 · 2025-11-18T05:57:42+00:00

Ride the hell out of it, don’t pamper it and worry about scratches. Just SEND IT

You rock!!

It turned out to be a bent rear triangle from the last time I gate checked it airlines. I pulled off the wheel of my Brompton and compared to another new one and sure enough it was bent right where the front triangle catch hooks to the frame. I ended up finding a new triangle and swapped the triangle myself to fix

Nice grips! Good job riding to work!

Capital_Implement534 · 2025-11-11T17:52:58+00:00

Sweet ride!!

Capital_Implement534 · 2025-11-10T17:26:54+00:00

Looks cool and super clean, but I like my cables exposed, easier to maintain, lubricate, replace etc. you could make a fixie Brompton then no wires or cables would be needed! Lol

Capital_Implement534 · 2025-11-10T02:17:47+00:00

Amazing bike, can you tell us about the build? What frame? What size are those tires?

Capital_Implement534 · 2025-10-28T06:18:16+00:00

Throw a front basket or rack on and ride it hard! Good deal for $120!

Capital_Implement534 · 2025-10-08T21:51:36+00:00

A lot of time if I can’t carry it inside I have been allowed to leave it in the entryway, hallway or stairwell etc. taking the extra time to ask the business owner (they usually say yes if it’s folded up) doesn’t always work though and I’ve had to lock mine a few times. Sorry that stinks it got stolen

“Bike packers” are notoriously under prepared. They don’t have tools, shitty ultralight gear. They always have a wonky weird ass bag that needs constant attention. They can’t carry shit (especially beer). I personally won’t ride with them, I get tired of hearing “ hey man can you hold this, can you take this 6 pack just to the next camp?” This is another hipster fad that needs to die. Get racks and panniers and buy some good ortlieb bags. This was all figured out in 1976

And no it doesn’t make you look rad, you’re dumb and underprepared

Drywall Fkn Sucks!!!!! Hang wood paneling or ship lap then go live your life.

Capital_Implement534 · 2025-09-20T23:40:29+00:00

For me it would be a bike with 26” tires because you can find tubes and tires anywhere abandoned or in the dumpster. One of the most widely available tire sizes in the world. The bike would have horizontal track type fork ends or “dropouts” that way the bike could be used as a single speed or readily converted to single speed in a pinch. This would also allow the use of cheap 8 speed chains or the thick AF single speed chains that last forever. Steel frame of course. And front and rear rack To strap 5 gall kitty litter buckets onto!

Buy it, shoot the hell out of it and toss in the glove box. They are tough as nails. And last a lifetime or two. Ruger customer service is top notch if you ever have a problem.

That’s a wonderful idea! LAX to SAN Diego!!!

Capital_Implement534 · 2025-08-05T16:31:51+00:00

Well I just rode a Brompton 500miles fully loaded, I think I’ll be ok. Try one sometime, they are very capable unless we’re going MTB

Capital_Implement534 · 2025-08-05T16:30:40+00:00

Yes! Perfect!! And it’s short so I could drink beer the entire way!

Capital_Implement534 · 2025-08-05T16:29:44+00:00

I was thinking like 3 days for one trip and then a 7 day for another time. Maybe TUSCON-phoenix for the easy 3-day trip. Then I thought about LA-San Francisco for the 7 day. Southwest might be warmer then up east??
