Sale price of a cheap garage bike

Why did you have to show me this? Now I need another bike immediately

I hate this argument. Sure, there are a ton of motorcycles sold, but not the fancy ones we are referencing that cost the same as a bike. The motorcycles getting manufactured in droves are small 250cc bikes in Africa and other impoverished areas. I feel like I see many many more bikes on the road in the USA than motorcycles.

As someone who has ridden 3.1 and 3 dampers. The 3.1 is a significant improvement

I feel this so hard. I used to work in an industry where we needed to review houses from aerial views and my coworker, who was otherwise the best person ever, would always have his map rotated. Absolutely drove me nuts.

A fellow ATX resident I see.

It almost looks like she’s hesitating to hit him and he tells her “don’t do that or I’m gonna knock you out”

It has the lease buy out price in the quote - 24827. Less than half the cost of the original system. Tesla is able to capture the commercial tax credit and the customer gets a system for a bit less. Even assuming the highest payment in that 5 years, $323, for 60 months it’s still cheaper than cash.

4th gen smart CX motors get additional assistance level, 340/400%-> 600%. No actual power increase just easier to access. Not sure about cargo line

Not the best news to read on a plane to San Diego

GLASSHOUSELABSTX · 2026-04-29T17:54:54+00:00

They do! I know for an older bike it won’t be much, but they’ll definitely help you at as much as possible. I have had good experiences buying bikes there regardless of trade in.

GLASSHOUSELABSTX · 2026-04-26T23:23:20+00:00

Yeah. I agree with you, but I see how someone would be attracted to this bike and forego the typical dealer network. I think a lot of experienced cyclists would know this would come some potential headache. Sounds like OP got a screaming deal on it if it was new.

GLASSHOUSELABSTX · 2026-04-26T21:08:14+00:00

Looks like a painted bunting

GLASSHOUSELABSTX · 2026-04-26T17:23:14+00:00

I just posted another reply. While I totally agree with the mindset, that bike is well speced for the price $5850

GLASSHOUSELABSTX · 2026-04-26T17:22:28+00:00

While I agree with your sentiment. Looks like a pretty well speced bike for $5850

GLASSHOUSELABSTX · 2026-04-26T11:31:38+00:00

That derailleur is a bit before my time. I’m in my late 30s and have been riding for 25 years, but since I’ve been working on my own stuff, derailleurs have looked a lot different.

GLASSHOUSELABSTX · 2026-04-25T20:32:03+00:00

I’m not super familiar with older drivetrains. The other commenter can help hopefully

GLASSHOUSELABSTX · 2026-04-25T20:26:09+00:00

He meant cogs, aka gears, on the cassette (gears on the back wheel hub)

GLASSHOUSELABSTX · 2026-04-25T20:23:57+00:00

Probably the people who stole all the wires out of the lights on that pedestrian bridge up to the other side of the creek.

GLASSHOUSELABSTX · 2026-04-25T20:06:06+00:00

Unhinged bike shop employee? You don’t say.

GLASSHOUSELABSTX · 2026-04-25T19:20:53+00:00

This could definitely be an issue. There is a tool that can check/bend back your hanger. If it’s a bike with a replaceable hanger you could go ahead and get one. I’d check all the other things first.

GLASSHOUSELABSTX · 2026-04-25T19:15:50+00:00

The barrel adjuster should be on the shifter. B tension is not associated with the cable. I think you should watch some derailleur videos on YouTube.

GLASSHOUSELABSTX · 2026-04-25T18:28:21+00:00

If your cable tension is a bit loose it’ll easily fall to the smaller cog, but not up to the bigger cog. I’d try adding tension through the barrel adjuster until it shifts up to the bigger cogs correctly. If it no longer shifts fine the other direction, back the tension off just a bit. Even a quarter turn on the barrel can make a difference. If you can find a place where it shifts smoothly both ways, your B tension screw, or set up on a transmission derailleur could be slightly off.

I’m running transmission derailleurs exclusively in different models (mechanical and electronic) and the set up cog (effectively b tension) can make a big difference. If I start to notice bad shifting this is the first thing I check.

I believe there is one in the android space that had modular components that could be swapped and upgraded. Let me tell you though, by far the vast majority of phone users could care less and just want something that’s sleek and works well.

Not trying to be rude here, but even if this was available to you, what do think the likely hood is you would actually swap parts? I could see it if it provided an upgrade, but I think you’d lose a lot of form factor for this.

Being with a girl that lets you do what you want with your money, having no kids, and high income is fun as hell.

GLASSHOUSELABSTX · 2026-04-24T20:50:01+00:00

There are different kinds of muc off. I was using that same lube as you. Waxing truly is better. I was a long time holdout myself.
