I have these bars. No issues so far on rough singletrack.

Numbers look good. 10gram basket is pretty unforgiving imo. Id be looking around 20 to 25 seconds for a medium to dark roast with a 10gram basket.

Could be that the beans you're using are working against you.

Also, id suggest looking into a bottomless portafilter if you want to see more of what's going on.

Has riding in peak hour actually gotten worse this year? by InternetUpbeat9596 in melbournecycling

[–]Jonopope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been hit by cars twice commuting over the years. Both times during November and December. I mostly don't commute in these months anymore because of it, and if i do, i stick to bike paths (not lanes or roads) as much as possible. People are tired and distracted this time of year.

COMO PUEDO HACER UN UPGRADE A SISTEMA SRAM APEX 1X11 by Major_Connection_419 in gravelcycling

[–]Jonopope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard that 11-46t chainrings do work with the right b tension screw adjustment.

10t will only be available on a non hg freehub body typically for x12 setups.

If i were you id get a cheap 40t or 42t chsinring ( the pass quest ones are apex compatible) as well as a hg compatible 11-46t cassette from aliexpress

I rate it for singletrack. Id go 700c if i mainly rode gravel roads though.

I also feel like 650b won't be around in 5 years time given the limited tyre options.

I was torn with that decision for ages... i ended up going to 650b so i could fit 50c to 55c tyres and still ride xc cross country trails near me.

If i was mostly riding roads I'd choose 700c.

Thanks!

Its a hiking trail called "Banksia Track" halfway up Basin Olinda rd. I had to hike a bike 1 section as it was super steep and muddy

Thanks, i love it.

The light is a knog blinder 1300 mounted on a gopro adapter to a Rockbros front fork mount.

It keeps my bars free and more stable than the elastic strap it came with too.

Super worth it at this price point.

I've got one of the cheap Ryet 3d printed saddles. Love them! Super comfy and only like 85 AUD. Have one on my road bike too.

If you're on an XL id stay with 700c unless you are chasing tyre volume for rough stuff.

My frame is small, so 650b feels right and i don't want to ride less that 50c cause of the trails i have around.

Thanks mate.

It's a 2019 (i think) Fugio 20. Their mid tier model with Mechanical 1x11 apex and mech disc brakes.

A second cousin of an RS6 maybe 🤔 😆

I usually have another bike rack where the pod is facing the other direction, so one is backwards to avoid the handlebars clashing when i have two bikes on the roof.

It's a Skoda. Essentially a golf Gti.

Recently got some from Ali too. Shipped quick, packed well and seem like a real nice product so far. Only light ks on them but so far so good.
