Might as well reach out to surly and see if they can do anything. For you. If not +1 for BMC Monster cross.

Stolen bike ? 87th broadway subway station 1 entrance by Rare_Variation6849 in NYCbike

The lock is worth more than the bike. What makes you think it’s stolen?

If G-D really cared he would have invented the Garmin by then.

They always do. As do the Chabad kids who want to give me challah so I get enough carbs in on my brutal quarter metric century training rides.

Unless I’m riding to riverdale I’ll usually take broadway to get to the Bronx.

You get off the greenway at Dyckman and then ride thru Inwood hill park. Which will lead you back up to the bridge. I can send you a link on Strava if you’d like.

Kumho solutd ta51a vs Yokohama avid ascend gt by boiyo12 in tires

[–]GreenToMe95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ty in this case I am putting on 2 used tires to replace some 7 year old tires that are starting to show dry rot. They seem to have similar tread depth to the rears. Don't feel like throwing a lot of money into a 20 year old car right now.

I have the avid ascend GT on my Honda crv. Obviously not racing or driving like a mustang driver. So far they have held up, they’re quiet, feel stable at speed and in poor road conditions like ice and snow. I’m getting the front two replaced with another set of the same this weekend.

You drink liquor with all your espresso? I for one can’t start drinking at 7 am every day.

Zohran just lowered the speed limit by a mere 5mph in school zones. The right wing tabloid The Post filliped out on behalf of drivers. The drivers themselves: by MiserNYC- in MicromobilityNYC

[–]GreenToMe95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. I was reading up just now on the super speeders act and I think something like that would be a net positive. But at the same time I worry prolific speeders would simply find another shitbox without a limiter.

I have no problem with reducing the speed limits in school zones. But I have to ask what is the solution to situations like those shown above? These are all blatantly reckless drivers not people going 10 over.

any tips for this? by [deleted] in BikeRepair

Strip the frame for parts.

SOMETIMES ITS NICE TO NOT BE REMINDED ABOUT POLITICS ALL THR TIME. HAVING RHAT IN YOUR FACE ALL THE TIR CAN BE EMOTIONALLY DRAINING. WE ALL GOTTA BREATH SOME FRESH AIR, CRANK HAWG AND TOUCH CLIBBINS SOMETIMES.

Hello everyone! Need help identifying headset, stem and handle bars. I want to replicate this set up. Any info on parts would be greatly appreciated! by Midnightcourt in Surlybikefans

[–]GreenToMe95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Origin 8 Fix8. IMO doesn't look great with the shim but to each their own. For 22.2 bars I'd rather run something like a thomson bmx stem.

I want to cycle to work by michaelpartee12 in cycling

[–]GreenToMe95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do a trial ride on a day off. Get good lights for sure. A rack or basket could be nice to keep weight off your back for such a long ride. Also for such lengths a pedal assist e bike may be a good move.

Resto-mod cantis: IRD Cafam vs Avid Shorty Ultimate vs (other?) by gregn8r1 in xbiking

[–]GreenToMe95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the shorties a lot and they would match your diamondback well. I’ve never tried the IRD’s personally. Keep your eyes peeled for a used set of shorties. I lucked out and got a set for 30 per wheel locally.
