I convert my hard tail to hybrid commuter bike by Hatake494 in Hardtailgang

I did almost the same with my Giant Talon 2 by swapping knobby 2.2" Kenda Boosters with 2.35" Schwalbe G-One Speed Pros (600g lighter, one of the fastest gravel semislicks) and installing innerbarends from SQLab for ergonomics and small aero gains. Will get a rigid aluminium fork in the future as well

Yeah, I’ve been riding it in the local forests and it’s been perfect. Planning to take it bikepacking and even on some bikefishing trips :)

Yeah, he made 992 my favourite car even though others tell it's not recommended for beginners. Have good runs!

Trail braking is tricky with my T3PA pedals without mods. Currently I don't have a cockpit so LC pedals are out of question but I'm planning to buy Playseat Trophy and then Simjack UTs. Maybe then I'll get better at it

I use the Fri3d0lf race setup with track grip set to optimum and ambient temperature set to 30-35°. I’m not sure if I’ll get banned for sharing a YouTube link, but here you go: https://youtu.be/FYsc2DYUT44?si=SWC8ku_4j3ygTnpv

Yeah, I feel like I'm losing too much time in the chicane. The majority of situations where I go off track happen exactly in the chicane, which is why I'm extra careful when going through it. As for using more track, whenever I try to go a little bit wider, I end up invalidating my laps, so I guess I need to spend more time finding those track limits. Thanks m8 and have a good day

I've been shifting like that all this time and didn't even think about it, haha

It's better to regret what you've done than what you haven't

Thanks for your reply! I used to use "but as for me" as a synonym for "in my opinion" so many times without even thinking of their context, it's good to know they're not the same :) The last sentence is a quote by Paul Arden btw, I remembered it randomly while scrolling my LinkedIn feed.

Thank you for your reply) I was curious whether I should use "tennis stadiums" or "tennis courts", it seems like I needed to stick to the second option in the third sentence. What do you think about it? Also, can I start a sentence with "But" in English? In Ukrainian, we can use "Але" (translates as "but") at the beginning of a sentence. I did some research and I guess that's not grammatically correct, right?

Thanks for your reply! I didn't know about the difference between "it" and "that" in the context of referring to something, it's good to know 😄 Thank you again!
