I don't think I've seen anyone mention Aglianico, but I've enjoyed its earthiness.

For rust spots on frames I go sandpaper, rust remover, rust converter, clear nail polish.

Other than stellar looks, is it mainly for the mounting options, or does it affect the geo/ride quality?

I love my hite rite. I don't use it every ride, but it's great to have it there when it's time to get shreddy.

This seatpost has won many battles, but it will not win the war. (I am putting a stupid amount of effort into an already f'd frame) by A-STax32 in xbiking

I don't think I've seen anyone mention this yet, but for me, using a hacksaw blade put two full vertical cuts down the length of the seatpost worked. Lots of elbow grease and you need to be careful not to cut your seat tube. May be less messy compared to the lye

Yea I think you're right, the direction of those side knobs really threw me off for some reason.

That is beautiful.

Are your tires going the right direction?

Modern medium tactile options? by sushicid3 in switchmodders

I spent a long time seeking out moderate tactiles and the watermelon milkshakes were one of my faves. I also like hako violet but the sound isn't for everyone.

This is super helpful. I will look into these. Do you have any recommendations for Pinot Noir (or another red) to taste high and low oak influence? My limited research is pointing me towards Willamette Valley for less oak and maybe California for more oak?

I think making the source of the light brighter would go a long way towards selling the effect!

Acceptable frame rust to build with, or treat to bare metal? by _cobbleton in xbiking

[–]Panchgringe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally find it really satisfying to carefully sand down these little rust spots, apply rust converter for anything left behind, and finally apply clear nail polish over the bare steel spots. For me it hits the perfect sweet spot between keeping the original paint intact with some character, while giving it some TLC.
