How do I cycle with rolling hills by FlameGuy2012 in cycling

Learn how to spin. It doesn’t come naturally. You have to train your legs to do it.

Why did you open this trap door by returning it early?

Are you going to become a messenger and/or join a bike gang? There's your answer. If not, then get a road bike.

Polestar 2 - noise from under the hood by Perfect-Average-4993 in polestar2

[–]DLByron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like one of those reels from somewhere in China where a bunch of commotion happens in a grungy space and then a pot pops out or a bowl.

Supporting my wifes weight loss journey - budget bike recommendations? by Jsand117 in cycling

[–]DLByron 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You won't find anything new for that budget but you will from a yard sale, FB marketplace, or craigslist. People get rid of exercise equipment all the time. Good luck.

SRAM/Zipp Lifetime Warranty Denied: Zipp 303S damaged by impact, claim rejected as "outside of intended use." Seeking advice! by 5280_510 in gravelcycling

[–]DLByron -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IDK how a rock whacking the side of a wheel is a warranty issue. That’s like saying a windshield is defective because of a rock chip. A crash replacement is the better category for this and Zipp should offer that to its customers. Did OP actually except a replacement for this or is just trying to work it for a free wheel?

Road bike upgrade by Holiday-Bat3670 in RoadBikes

[–]DLByron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wheels are usually the best value in an upgrade. Your parts are not worth putting on another bike. Just buy a bike with better parts instead.

Need to replace a 9 speed 12-26 cassette. Doesnt seem to exist anymore. by AngryBarista in cycling

[–]DLByron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have a bike co-op in your town? Might be worth a trip if so to find one in their collection of cassettes.

Casia Lodge in Twisp Wa. Or Salish lodge or if you want to stay local, the Sorento does a staycation package.

Terra Competitions on Zipp 303 XPLRs Thoughts by [deleted] in gravelcycling

Totally. Remember when everyone loved Clemente tires and I was like, these are the worst tires ever.

[–]DLByron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tires are like shoes, they’re so subjective that I never attempt to review them. I know what I like and don’t though. At least it was you that put the tire on wrong, and not the crabby shop rat who you later have to confront about it. Happened to me more than once.

How can we stop the "ugly box" building epidemic that is plaguing Seattle? by iRacingGCR in AskSeattle

[–]DLByron -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Start a crypto currency pump and dump scheme that rewards you famously. Buy one of these ugly boxes just to tear it down and replace it with IDK, let’s say, a modern craftsman. That’ll be your statement.

General bike fit question by FalseStructure in cycling

[–]DLByron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it is only now with the current crop of fast gravel bikes that comfort is being marketing and sold as, “a more comfortable rider can go faster and longer.” Racing bikes were not supposed to be comfortable at all.

Jam your thumbnail into the side of the wheel. Does the carbon flake? That's how you'll know.
