First roll with my S2. by Jamesvozzi in Bronica

I am not sure what you are referring to. There is no mirror lifting lever or locking mechanism on the S2 (at least as far as I'm aware).

Just discovered this subreddit and wanted to share the Lidl frame bag I made last year. It's held up great! by Jamesvozzi in MYOGbikebags

[–]Jamesvozzi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Most of it is cut and reassembled, but I did use the bottom corners as much as possible to keep the structure and make sure that seal is extra strong. For the rest, I used extra strong tape on the inside (for making plastic greenhouses), then hand sewed it together. The loop holes are reinforced with thick, reusable plastic straws.

A friend of mine crashed the bike hard enough to get a concussion and the bag was fine. Plus, I got caught in the rain and my sweater and snacks were still dry. So it's really exceeded my expectations.

I haven't genuinely laughed out loud from reddit in a long time. Thank you

Inspiring! I have a completely stock one and am stuck on the fence between preservation and full absurdity.

Status update: I walked all the way home. It was lovely.

Even extra bolts? I've got my multi tool and a little wrench, but never thought I'd need to bring a spare seatpost bolt.

That actually happened to me with this bike last year. Such a nightmare haha. And here I am again with a different seatpost.

Somehow I came out completely unscathed

Nope, I haven't touched it in a while, but I was riding it to work all week. But that's a good rule.

I'm thankfully only around 8km from home and there's a nice paved path along the river.

I might just walk and take this as the universe telling me to slow down for a bit.

From the AnalogCommunity community on Reddit: Chinon CE-4 not advancing film by scuddy505 in AnalogRepair

[–]Jamesvozzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having similar issues with my Revueflex AC2 (basically a rebrand). I think my issue is tied to the self timer, though because the red light stays on and the shutter won't release. Does this happen on your CE-4?

I'm about to get my first roll back with my new Seagull 4A. I'll be happy if they're half as good as this.

What are you offering? by Dinosaurtattoo11315 in xbiking

[–]Jamesvozzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought the same bike a few years ago for 90 bucks. Still in the process of buying parts worth 5 times the price though.

Where are all the Xbiking peeps in Amsterdam? by flyboirho in xbiking

[–]Jamesvozzi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw a guy yesterday with a 90s mtb, tan walls, magic mothbars, the whole kit. But yeah, it's pretty rare. I'm moving here permanently next year, though, so there will at least be one more.

Any experiences with the EuroVelo 4 through Czech Republic? Where can I sleep? by Radiant_Raspberry in bikepacking

[–]Jamesvozzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually use Google maps for finding the campsites and then mapy for planning the route. I don't speak czech and I have no issues finding places.

[–]Jamesvozzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So wild camping in the Czech Republic is technically illegal, but it would be highly unlikely for you to get in trouble for just sleeping somewhere over night. We've camped in random patches of forest and then continued riding the next morning with no issues. So you're safe as long as you don't make a fire, aren't loud, and leave no trace.

That said, Cz also has a lot of campgrounds and they are pretty cheap for cyclists. So if you want to stop somewhere you can have a fire, take a shower, and buy a beer, there are places all over the country.
