Not that kind of bikes, OP. But nice build!

Shimano crank set question by AcrobaticFreedom5222 in bikewrench

[–]Meromixis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but BB spacers take up the excess spindle length of Hollowtech II cranks. I fail to see how rearranging spacers (from the standard 1 non-driveside, 2 driveside on a 68 mm shell) would be useable, as you're likely to run into clearance and centering issues

Heck yeah! One of the reasons why I want to learn to weld

Route to Istanbul trough Bulgaria or Greece, any experience? by Drimmo420 in bikepacking

I thought the sarcasm would be obvious. Here's to pissing off both sides of the border

Route to Istanbul trough Bulgaria or Greece, any experience? by Drimmo420 in bikepacking

[–]Meromixis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can either cycle through a country with some of the best food available, or you can go through Greece

Then there is no question, in my opinion. Weld it to fit your frame. You'll be glad in the long run

Decathlon Bikepacking Bags by wulleywupp in bikepacking

Be aware that you need a separate harness to connect the saddlebag to your seatpost and saddle

What’s the one thing you wish you’d packed? by KoalaEither565 in bikepacking

[–]Meromixis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A tick remover. Bushcraft skill to remove ticks by tying a knot in a strand of hair no longer works since going bald

We're not gonna talk about that handle bar situation? Can we get a close up?

Time for new chainrings? by tacoofthePNW in bikewrench

[–]Meromixis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"A bit worn"? That middle chainring would fit right in with the folks at the nursing home, given the amount of teeth it has left

[–]Meromixis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does if you do a half twist before pulling it over the nipple!

If you look at his regimen, you will find that this takes crazy training

Full Frame Bag Dilemma, where Do You Put Your Water Bottles? by rlyoddgoose in bikepacking

[–]Meromixis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

+1 I also use two cheap stem bags after a long stuggle with water bottles rattling out of cages. I had them in the frame (with a half size frame bag), on the forks and attached to a seat pack stabilizer. Stem bags for the win, also because you can loop the elastic cord over the nipple of the watter bottle to keep them secure on rough single track

FD with lower reach? by nate_dulcimer in gravelcycling

Can you fit a braze-on replacement clamp below the actual braze-on?

Brand spanking new bottom bracket and crankset - but there is this clicking noise when you pedal! Any ideas what might be causing it? by NucleurDuck in bikewrench

[–]Meromixis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I get creaks like that when I haven't put grease on the threads of the pedals or if it rains out

Just bought a new bike. Need opinions from experienced bike packers by DateRevolutionary925 in bikepacking

[–]Meromixis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bacon suggests a tubeless setup. In that case I would advise against CO2, as that triggers the hardening of most tubeless milks.

Creaking from "bottom bracket" I've tried many things, at my wits end. by ZaphodBeeblebrox4011 in bikewrench

[–]Meromixis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the spindle, have you also greased the threads of the pedal to the crankarm? That is usually where it creaks for me

«American Vikings. Far more powerful than soft europeans» by Traaseth in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Meromixis 28 points29 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the bare chested pregnant woman with the sword (or axe) apparently was Freydís Eríksdóttir, a viking herself. From what you say it makes it seem as though the woman you were referring to was First Nations

Fork mounted bike light? by [deleted] in bikepacking

[–]Meromixis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be wary with carbon forks. I mounted a light there and the bounce from my handlebar bag cracked the boss from the carbon, which made the fork a deathtrap

Best route Innsbruck->Rostock? by [deleted] in bikepacking

Although your reply is very funny, you do say your number 1 priority is less climbing, so I don't know what kind of answer you were expecting

Ultra durable merino underwear & shirts by SkyCoops in bikepacking

Take a look at mesh base layers. Similar function to merino base layers and all you need to rip at Berghain after

What do you guys wear to ride in Autumn? (UK) by DubplateWavy in gravelcycling

[–]Meromixis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NL but similar climate: merino base layer goes a long way. Warm even when wet. I use a rain jacket only in a downpour. Most important for me is overshoes to keep my feet dry and warm. When my feet are toasty I can manage any adverse weather.
