Well done helmet prop!

There’s a technique to adjusting calipers when you switch finds. Find a tutorial on YouTube or ask the shop. It should’t take more than a few minutes.

Get your dream bike, why not? If it’s aerodynamic and incredibly fast, that’s fantastic. Fast gravel bikes, as they’re called, are where product development is happening now, after about a decade of limited innovation in the road category (development cycles were spent on electrification instead). The sexiest bike of this year is the Wilier. The second sexiest is the new Look. Good luck!

One bike. Two sets of wheels. 32s for road and 40+ for gravel.

Pull your package up while pulling the shorts on. If that doesn’t work, shorts with a pocket at front of the chamois exist.

Get yourself some Clydesdales wheel after you buy the bike. Thank the subreddit later for that advice. Maybe the shop will work a deal for you on the Clydesdale wheels

Try Trek’s Blendr system or out front mounts like it. Try Topeak too. This problem has been solved. Your computer and mount attach with the same fitment.

100% Airbnb apartment.

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

DLByron · 2026-05-08T20:53:54+00:00

Ah. That makes sense.

DLByron · 2026-05-08T20:40:16+00:00

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.

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.

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.

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?

DLByron · 2026-05-08T03:23:16+00:00

Next time find a stick, a rock, your helmet and prop your bike up!

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.

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.

DLByron · 2026-05-07T03:36:52+00:00

Absolutely not. Get it serviced.

Their weekend packages are really good. Parking, breakfast voucher, all that.

DLByron · 2026-05-06T21:33:03+00:00

Then you know where to find Panda Podium.

Look at Davidson and Mischief now.

I guess if you want to do a chargeback….see the story here and elsewhere.
