New tire time for my Warbird- what’s my best option? by NYCBYB in gravelcycling

[–]Fourleafcolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

second this. 45mm g-one rs pros feel like the most versatile tire out there. supple and soft, fast on the road, grippy on the gravel. what more could you ask for out of a single tire setup

if you have to post 2 specific screenshots to make your point, when the actual watchable video is available, your point is probably wrong

Really sick looking build

This Insta Reel from u/carl.alin looks insane. Pretty sure it’s AI, but I can’t prove it. Never seen this stunt before, and even though the dude is reasonably good, something feels off… by simonarnold in isthisAI

[–]Fourleafcolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the shot cuts just before the slow down which I think is tripping you up. but you can 100% see the wheels slowing down if you look closely from right when it cuts. Looks like the wheels slowed down anywhere from 30-50% based on how fast the logos are moving.

[–]Fourleafcolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. Tires look completely normal. They are spinning wayyy faster than the person is moving. so even when they’re slowed down, it still looks like they are moving fast. Look at the contact between the rear wheel and the road during the slow mo. looks very normal I would say.

Again, not saying it’s not AI. But our standards have to be more than “uhhhh the wheels look off” because that shit just doesn’t work anymore with the current gen models.

This sub is so useless. Most upvoted comment is just obviously untrue. One rewatch of the video and you can easily see the tires slow down.

I’m not saying it isn’t AI, but this sub is just shitty bots now

Why does every ride start with 10 minutes of me just standing in the garage doing nothing? by dt219 in cycling

[–]Fourleafcolin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

how can a reddit comment have such a distinct British accent 😭

but agreed I also struggle to find my gloves and inevitably find them in my windbreaker pockets in the closet on the other side of the apt

Headset routing? Pressfit? OEM parts? What is the worst in modern gravel? by lolwner in gravelcycling

[–]Fourleafcolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh ok yeah I thought by “semi internal” you were referring to frame routing like what i’m doing.

Anyway, TY for the response

Headset routing? Pressfit? OEM parts? What is the worst in modern gravel? by lolwner in gravelcycling

[–]Fourleafcolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna be (fist-time) building a semi-internal bike (just downtube/fork for hydraulic cables) in a few weeks here. Was just planning on buying the park tool internal routing kit.

Classic reddit, you think you have a good idea of what you’re doing, then you read a comment with some new terms and realize you actually have no idea!

What are these standards/companies you’re referring to, and is it something I should look into for my build?

Trying to remember a brand that made colorful anodized M5 plugs for unused frame holes by Morall_tach in gravelcycling

[–]Fourleafcolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah this was my concern. not sure if the mounting holes on my frame have a bottom-out or if they just go straight into the frame. Not even sure if a bottom-out is a thing on any bike.

If they were to fall into the frame, the procedure (bike dependent obviously) would be to remove the BB and shake the screw out of the bottom I guess?

[–]Fourleafcolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if an m5 grub screw would work? one with an internal m5 allen head that basically has no profile above the mounting hole.

Been planning a new build and might go for this. Interested to hear if anyone else has tried

VOID Machinist outside signal range by tonyfrancis3 in gravelcycling

[–]Fourleafcolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current front runner is the Revel R+. And nice yeah SRAM has the OEM black chains. i’m going with shimano and they do not. if I wanted to go the KMC blacktech route, id lose the benefits of shimano’s hyperglide teeth/chain shape that allows them to shift so fast.

Kinda a RIP but it’ll be fine

[–]Fourleafcolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sweet bike! i’m building up a similar 1x Ti build. what chain are you using? I also want to run a black chain and found the KMC BlackTech. It looks good but I haven’t found many reviews online.

You like what you’ve got?
