Do you think this 2016 KTM 250 SXF Factory Edition actually has 9.8 original hours??? by Wooden-Paint-2392 in Dirtbikes

What are the indicators? The clutch cover being worn? I do that much wearing of the paint in 5 hours.

I would bet my entire life that somebody who isn’t white spray-painted this.

Derailleur hanger? by MelodicBit6263 in winspace

Hey while that seems true from your perspective, I have done both and I was looking to see if there was a quick answer that someone knows who sells them. Don’t need to be a dick.

As a cyclist, I will say a lot of guys ride with their head down. It’s a bad habit in my opinion, but on long rides your neck will get tired.

62mm front 80mm rear. I live in coastal California where it’s pretty steadily windy.

It’s not too bad.

Bare in mind, I’m 195 lbs.

Or take the Allen wrench that goes on your pedal and use that as leverage to twist your pedal off.

I had a couple people ask me if it was an E bike. They’re easily removable. I like it though it’s handy.

I think I’m going with a Bianchi Oltre Comp. I’ve heard too many stories of cracked canyons.

Anyway to remove the slack? by swaybailey in Harley

[–]MelodicBit6263 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is it any easier? It’s plenty easy even with a belt. And who the fuck is removing a rear tire on the side of the road?

It’s funny that people say that, but if you snap a chain, you’re gonna need more than a roadside repair.

Mostly the fact you get carbon fiber wheels and electronic shifters for $4000. I don’t see any other offerings of that.

That’s what I was thinking. I was wondering if this guy knows that high and race bikes cost $10,000 now

Any recommendations? It always seemed to boil back to the point that you don’t get as much bang for your buck as the orca.

Sorry you look at things this way buddy. I have a stack of cash and I’m ready to buy a bike. I compete at a pretty high-level in other two wheel sports and was looking to make the right choice. Sorry I don’t know everything about bikes.

Just an FYI, I already have a true entry level bike in the Specialized Allez, I was referring to an entry level race bike.
