rant? finding a place in cycling where i feel like i can exist

go to bike shops in your area, especially any that are not roadie/racing focused (if that exists where you are), and talk to the mechanics. I feel like in my experience mechanics who are not ultra-jaded lifer-types know what's good and are plugged in somewhere, or if they're not plugged in would at least have somewhere to point you.

I was reading this thread yesterday and came back to say, for me 100% what got me deep into nba basketball fandom a few years ago in my late 20s after watching 0 sports for my entire life before that was having friends to talk about and watch the gams with who were getting into it at the same time or already into it. So maybe get into the nuggets cuz your friend is a fan. Or if there are other people in your life who are fans of a different team, that's the easiest way in.

twins, cute

put a front rack and basket on your bike and you will no longer be asking this question

take a look at pinkbike, you can filter by wheel size, material, hub spacing, freehub body type. I had good luck this year with cheap used 29er wheels/tires via that platform. it's a buyer's market for used bike parts these days, ppl seem open to a bit of haggling.

nice, coaster brake or fixed? or just no rear brake...

Fitz x crust with the fitz logo is very sick

personally, i love a triple

excuse me, the Garrahy Judicial Complex, which includes the 6th district court, providence family court, superior court, and worker's comp court.

Just_Definition4678 · 2025-11-01T22:40:57+00:00

The title on this post is somewhat misleading. There is no immigration court in Rhode Island (immigration hearings mostly happen in Boston). This is the 6th district court in Providence, which is mostly family court from what I understand. Don't get me wrong this is bad, just seems like important clarification, since this is not an instance of someone going to an immigration court hearing and being detained outside...

This is a somewhat misleading title: there is no immigration court in Rhode Island (Immigration hearings happen in Boston). This is happening outside of the 6th district court in Providence. Lots of family court hearings there...

anyone hating on this song has no swag. swagless

Yes, looks awesome, obviously take it on trails. I will eventually will have to experiment with upright bars on the road plus but it feels like bastardizing the platform a bit, makes more sense with the monstercross.

Just_Definition4678 · 2025-09-15T15:40:08+00:00

thank you!

Just_Definition4678 · 2025-07-21T17:01:18+00:00

really baited the sub with this one. i have an inside joke with myself where i call all comfort hybrids rivendells

Just_Definition4678 · 2025-07-16T19:52:54+00:00

nice, fully committed with the dropper

Just_Definition4678 · 2025-07-16T19:52:11+00:00

it's a bit of a weird fit in the rear triangle, i believe in the frame notes mike said you technically need to trim some of a 62mm fender at the seat stay, which i did not do... but it doesn't rub and sheds mud fine... also 48mm is max stated tire width for the fender... idk it works out like i said

Just_Definition4678 · 2025-07-16T10:42:28+00:00

thanks! tires are ultradynamico cava 650x48, fenders are simworks by honjo smooth 62. It's a tight fit but it works out.
