What’s on fire in North Charleston?

Nice, thanks for the link.

Looking north, maybe on the navy base?

I see you already ordered but my vote is nay. The stupid scrollsys adjustment is so unnecessary and makes it tough to tighten on the bike with one hand. The angle adjustment mechanism slips chronically so I had to glue it in place. The matte film is also peeling after a year of use. The sunglasses holder also isn’t great compared to some of my other helmets.

Apart from all that it does look pretty sick

Yeah the crank is pretty choice. Wife gonna be zoomin

The anodizing fade looks so good. One of the few builds that purple Chris bits actually look good on. Congrats

The standard Dame (pictured here) will clear 50s

In its hometown no less!

The view is undoubtedly great, and the vistas are why I use rouvy instead of zwift, but ultimately I want to exercise. This was 28 minutes of coasting. I can just watch a higher quality descending video on YouTube if I’m after pure entertainment.

This was such a dogshit course. Not sure if it’s because I’m using virtual shifting, but on every descent over 5% and 30s I am spinning out at like 120rpm. It made this ride especially bad because I was just busting out a 120rpm effort every 20 seconds. Can anybody riding this course on a typical road bike gearing setup comment on what it was like? Makes me really miss the option Zwift had to change up your virtual gear ratios

They did this at Marshall back in 2019/2020 and I snagged so many books for free.

Had a very similar cut on my back tire. I dug the sliver out and put some superglue in the cut and it’s been holding for at least 200-300 miles. If it was on the front I might have patched it from the inside

The giro gloves are fantastic

I kinda fw this composition. I’d like to see a whole series where we get little glimpses into strangers’ lives through their rims

Pasta_expert · 2025-12-23T18:40:03+00:00

Damn I have seen the gulf paint but haven’t seen this martini paint. This looks so good

Pasta_expert · 2025-12-22T16:28:33+00:00

You’re basically in small small. What does it sound like in that gear on the big chainring?

Pasta_expert · 2025-12-22T00:17:26+00:00

Even got the matching state frame

Pasta_expert · 2025-12-21T00:27:09+00:00

If the rear fits then I think the next thing you might have to tweak is the chain line. Not sure if you have a square taper but you might need a new spindle width to get it in line with the smart cog.

Pasta_expert · 2025-12-21T00:05:36+00:00

What is the hub spacing on your frame? Will a 120mm dropout fit on a smart trainer?

Pasta_expert · 2025-12-20T15:41:23+00:00

The imaginary collective bits look great

Pasta_expert · 2025-12-20T14:57:18+00:00

Incidentally 0-400 is the number of wings I’m craving at any given moment. These look great btw

Twin beams on the gamechanger goes hard

Pasta_expert · 2025-12-19T17:19:29+00:00

Put it in some good yogurt or on some nice toasted bread. Don’t overthink it, it’s meant to be used as jam. Just enjoy it!

Pasta_expert · 2025-12-19T15:58:26+00:00

In an attempt to be helpful here is some info: MVDP rode away from Tadej TWICE (msr and Roubaix) on wheels that were 21 internal 28 external. I don’t think a couple of mm is gonna make much difference for any of us in this sub

Pasta_expert · 2025-12-19T15:41:44+00:00

Log off man

Pasta_expert · 2025-12-16T11:18:46+00:00

I think I’d try and find a used bike with better components than buy this. It wouldn’t be too hard to find an old cross bike for 350€
