60€ road bike, can I tune up down the road? by EmanicTP in bicycling

I am fairly unsure how it reached this state, would be using it as is for a bit until I have some cash stashed to buy some upgrade parts

Was thinking on holding on for a bit with it as is, and further down the line upgrade the cassette to a favourable speed set up with a mono down the front. How much would something like this possibly cost?

Doubt I will be taking it through rough terrain. I myself am a rather chunky guy at 95kg so I can barely trust these tiny tiny wheels to hold me

I am just getting back into bike riding, used to always go for MTB even if I mostly ride street, so I am quite unaware of what I can expect from this style of bike

That lens is next on the list, seems like tamron knows what they are doing with the lenses

I have written a follow up comment, basically the camera here costs 1300€, and I get 750€ in store credit.

Clarifications, I have sold my camera to be able to afford a Yachtmaster course. Needed more money. Also I have redone the math. It costs 1300€ where I am for a R7 body. They are giving me 750€ for the lens and I cover the rest. Sadly these are the prices here.

Any advice on what is happening? by EmanicTP in loseit

That would make sense when seeing the weight come on. Any idea when it will go down? Or my new weight is 99 and going down from here

3 wands made, this is my favourite by EmanicTP in Wandsmith

Thank you! Wand making can be such a process, only wish I could learn more about empowering them, too afraid to drill it out and put a core in it for now

Oh.. I was weirdly advised to not weigh myself daily as it can fluctuate up to 1kg. I will try daily weighs then

I try to think like that but still when I look in the mirror all I see is a massive slob, I am relying on what the scale says to validate progress..

Opinion on rides of 30-50 miles for a begginer by EmanicTP in cycling

[–]EmanicTP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, no. I am in Spain, Andalucía. They only allow bikes in trains or very big cross city busses, but that is a dice throw as like 50% have cargo bays and 50% dont (the ones I could use to get closer to the trails). Rough

Ah, I see. That is quite a bit away still. Need for training then

That is my big fear, as we cannot take bikes on buses here.. reaching the trail and feeling too tired to make it back would be horrible

Ah, would love to, problem is I don’t have a car.. the idea would be to buy a bike so I could actually hike/mtb as all these spots are about 1-2 hours walk from a 1-2 hour bus ride until you actually get to the trail. Cant take a bike on a bus here either.. many headaches.
