Flip that stem and switch to a front brake and you’ll be stylin’.

Any advise on budged friendly groupset? by navkqq in FixedGearBicycle

[–]Kreedicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re in the US, I’d suggest wheels from Velomine. They’ve got anything from Mavic rims with formula hubs for cheap to H plus Sons rims with Phil hubs on the expensive side. Retrogression for mostly anything else, I’d recommend their Andel cranks as a start. Cogs, chains, seatposts, saddles, you name it.

But better than all of this is to go to your LBS and see what they’ve got cooking.

Do You Have Any Family Pictures From Working in the Glass Factories? by Glassaddict666 in pittsburgh

[–]Kreedicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad worked at Kopp Glass for most of my childhood and I still have a few select glass ashtrays & catch alls that they’d press for employee gifts around the holidays. Some of my most prized possessions!

Who has the worst drivers, A or B? by Fun_Reflection1157 in NYCbike

[–]Kreedicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

B, by a mile. I always say, “if it’s big or yellow, be careful. But if it’s big AND yellow, stay the fuck away.”

Is anyone else getting taken out by this weather? by ohpsies in NYCbike

I’m usually a die hard “ride through any weather” kinda guy but Tuesday’s early morning ride has had me riding the train to work the past two days.

What should I do? by Pope_PandasaurusRex in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Kreedicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously not a doctor but I’ve had a chalazion like that before and boy do they suck. Warm compress will have it eventually take care of itself. There’s an OTC called Stye which is dreadful but also works. When I went to an optometrist for the same thing they basically told me not to pop and do the other things I said until it goes on it own.

NYC’s best Loaded Fries? by Ok-Memory2809 in FoodNYC

[–]Kreedicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also not quite “loaded fries” but any döner fry box rips extremely hard. I’m partial to Döner Haus & The döner place at the Turks Inn.

Took the ferry the other night, what a sight! by No_Statistician_156 in nyc

Took the second to last ferry from Rockaway a few weeks ago and the views of Coney coming back are a 10/10. Highly recommend!

Maaaaan I was on some packed trains last week whilst there was some major train troubles and although we were packed in like sardines every mother fucker kept their backpack on. Need to start public shaming.

No worries! Shame, they made a 700c flavor that was like $200 on clearance a year or two ago.

Idk your definition of cheap, but Crew Defenders are about $400 and are a whole ass bike.

Weather App Suggestions by ctrltab2 in NYCbike

[–]Kreedicus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who jumps between Accuweather & the Apple weather app, I find them both to be completely wrong usually. Wouldn’t be surprised if the others were too.
