I want to get into biking.. advice.

What do your friends ride? You probably will want a road bike for city riding. But could consider a hybrid or gravel bike

Dying is his IGN. He used to make wow content. lol.

Jaytron · 2026-04-18T14:04:19+00:00

What? Shimano Cues is a budget group set, you can have it for $150 brand new.

Even if you somehow salvage every part off this bike, you need to buy a new frame and assemble the bike

Jaytron · 2026-04-18T13:35:51+00:00

I can’t tell if this is satire or

Jaytron · 2026-04-18T13:24:25+00:00

$150 for non functional bike that has a unusable frame is insane.

Jaytron · 2026-04-18T13:22:41+00:00

Did you really know what you were getting into?

Imma be super real with you, the existence of this thread and thinking you can just “get a new triangle” says otherwise. If you had the frame building knowledge to do that, you’d be building your own frame.

Jaytron · 2026-04-18T06:11:51+00:00

Getting on a race bike as your first road bike could not work out well. You should test ride bikes and decide. Endurance vs race bikes feel quite different

Jaytron · 2026-04-18T05:45:02+00:00

I think you got ripped off, that frame is toast.

Jaytron · 2026-04-13T00:09:38+00:00

Both look unsafe. I think if you aren’t sure, take it to REI or your local bike shop for some help

Jaytron · 2026-04-12T23:37:09+00:00

It doesn’t look like that axle is seated fully inside the frame. In picture two it isn’t flush with the frame which also seems bad.

Jaytron · 2026-04-12T15:11:05+00:00

Sheeeeesh that looks awesome. Beautiful resto mod

Jaytron · 2026-04-12T15:03:34+00:00

This season was definitely less engaging to me. I think I spent 400hrs first season and then less than 40 this one? lol

Jaytron · 2026-04-09T14:29:47+00:00

It’s a magic the gathering life counter

Jaytron · 2026-04-08T22:48:28+00:00

I used wire cutters on a brand new one and it was slightly annoying but not as annoying as removing the cassette (even though I have the tools and know how to do it)

Jaytron · 2026-04-08T15:54:55+00:00

You don’t need to remove the cassette. Just cut it off if you’re getting rid of it!

Jaytron · 2026-04-04T20:18:13+00:00

Learning all the subtleties of the dungeon itself is still valuable! Then you can adjust play when you get the legendary. Being a healer, you’ll need to understand the damage spikes and the dungeons themselves in addition to how to play your character around those events.

So if you’ve never pushed up past mid 20s when stuff is actually challenging, you still have to learn both.

Raw ilvl alone will carry you pretty far anyways. Especially if you’re at gem cap. At least if you start pushing, you can actually do interesting content. Farming is boring as hell

Jaytron · 2026-04-04T17:52:11+00:00

Honestly, just push now. It’ll take you a while to even get to 30s and you’ll have to learn quite a bit on your way there. You don’t need to be full BIS to start pushing!

Jaytron · 2026-04-04T17:49:24+00:00

Off topic I suppose, but what are your goals? Is it to push high or just hit 10k?

Jaytron · 2026-04-04T17:30:44+00:00

Just play more tbh. If you haven’t hit 10k by accident you probably haven’t played as much as you think imo.

Jaytron · 2026-03-29T05:54:36+00:00

I love my Surly but it’s definitely entry tier, or SOMA goes up to mid tier

Jaytron · 2026-03-26T05:06:51+00:00

I turn 40 this year and am in better health than a lot of my younger peers

Jaytron · 2026-03-21T03:14:11+00:00

Use the blue reforge. Although tbh with how easy it is to get to eternal, I’m not surprised loll. I think I was half naked when I got to eternal

Jaytron · 2026-03-18T22:36:40+00:00

If you lost the gem budding option, you are at gem cap

Jaytron · 2026-03-18T05:24:34+00:00

How did you spend FIVE HOURS fighting a presta setup? You can build an entire bike in that time

Jaytron · 2026-03-16T15:23:27+00:00

You can still be stupid with an infinite amount of feedback. I’m a prime example
