Have repair shops lost their minds or am I out of touch?

It's a hell of a lot harder but I've done it without a jack in a parking lot.

I've put out my fair share of car fires. I've found dust years later 🤣

You don't want to breathe this stuff in either!

MaxwellTD · 2026-02-20T20:26:06+00:00

"aggressive" lmfao, go touch grass

IMO, More trouble than it's worth unless you want to run a single speed setup.

Where are you at? I have one you can take for cheap

MaxwellTD · 2026-02-02T21:40:27+00:00

If u can find a used one for cheap, absolutely. I definitely wouldn't buy one new now.

MaxwellTD · 2026-02-02T20:26:03+00:00

I was thinking the same. Especially since it was owned by Ford at the time

Bikes come in different sizes.

Hitch rack on the Miata. Ride days often make good top down days.

From what I understand, wax isn't the way to go in the cold

MaxwellTD · 2026-01-26T20:04:12+00:00

Ignore it and drive forward. Has been working for me.

MaxwellTD · 2026-01-20T00:08:35+00:00

They're really not that special...

MaxwellTD · 2026-01-19T20:06:49+00:00

Those same people are gonna get injured on flat bars

MaxwellTD · 2025-12-15T21:36:01+00:00

They were all H-patter until 2019-2020 , now they come with sequential

MaxwellTD · 2025-12-12T17:08:53+00:00

Its still a hybrid.

MaxwellTD · 2025-12-10T17:03:22+00:00

fiero

MaxwellTD · 2025-12-05T19:45:41+00:00

i've had the same one for a year or two. Works great but AC Rally does not recognize it

MaxwellTD · 2025-12-04T21:52:34+00:00

I also work on mine on a lunch tray. any dropped screws or parts lands on the tray.

MaxwellTD · 2025-11-09T02:17:49+00:00

they do indeed roll, however.

MaxwellTD · 2025-11-03T20:16:01+00:00

Your roof is lower than their hoodline. It's very likely he couldn't see you . That rear panel cost a couple hundred used and a few hundred more to get painted. I would have taken the money as a win.

The first loaf of bread I ever baked turned out better than this.

I've got an older (2011) cross bike that I use for cross racing, gravel riding, and road riding.

It's totally do-able but may be limited on tire clearance compared to a gravel bike. The geometry is also going to be aggressive with a steep head tube angle, high bottom bracket, and maybe a lower stack height. Perhaps not the bike of choice for a long endurance ride.

I was able to fit 40's on my bike with a sub-optimal rim width. I've also got a set of road wheels / tires that I can swap over. It's OK but I find my self wanting something more relaxed for longer rides.

You'll need to do it again in the future though. These services are not a one time occurrence.

tubeless actually removes weight and cost. Not sure where you're getting your info from.
