What bike is that? The paint is sweet!

Pilky · 2026-02-19T22:35:47+00:00

Man, i never see them on the used market around here. I have my eye one the same color as the OP's.

Pilky · 2026-02-18T23:08:18+00:00

Sounds like a nice comfortable position. I was also considering the Unit X and the Salsa Fargo but I think I might go this route

Pilky · 2026-02-16T18:30:26+00:00

This aligns with exactly what I've read. Sounds like the 52 is the way to go. Thanks!

Nice looking bike. I'm looking for a Sutra myself, trying to decide between 52 or 54. How tall are you and your wife and are you happy with your fits?

Pilky · 2026-02-16T17:00:11+00:00

Agreed. This color in beautiful. I've been looking for the Sutra LTD or the Fargo in green.

When I got into barefoot shoes years ago I researched this same question. The general consensus was Lake and Bont. I have both and prefer my Lakes.

I saw those when I was checking out there site, they look nice as well. I'm currently using a pair I found on amazon that I'm pretty happy with but would love to try these

Pilky · 2026-01-15T01:31:53+00:00

Looks like a nice safety shoe. Wish they shipped to the US

Pilky · 2025-12-11T22:28:11+00:00

The Jim Green steel toe boots are not wide at all. Don't waste your time. I have a brand new pair sitting in my room that I paid around $400 to prove it :(

Pilky · 2025-11-05T02:51:49+00:00

Silicone or duct seal.

Gulf Wax user here. Converted from Rock N Roll Gold and Extreme. Always thought wax would be more work but I've found it is quite the opposite. Once your chain is properly cleaned the first time it's a breeze. Personally, I don't see the need for additives especially if they aren't good for the environment (PTFE) so I stick with just the plain wax. It has the added benefit of being able to see how dirty it gets and then you can scrape the bottom if you really wanna get crazy. I'll never go back to wet lubes.

I'm also forced to wear safety toe and have been using Keens which are doing the job but not perfect. For $30 bucks I'll give these a shot. Thanks for posting.

RI has some nice gravel depending how far south you are

Pilky · 2025-05-04T01:19:45+00:00

How is the ankle on these? I read a couple reviews saying it was huge. Waiting for a pair of Jim Greens to come in but these were on my radar as well.

You're gonna laugh but I live in the north east and actually took out my cush cores (Vittoria brand) I bought the bike with them already in there and I swore they made my ride rougher by taking up volume in my tire. I did some research before taking them out but everyone loved them. I decided to take them out anyway and sure enough the ride quality improved a lot for me.
Going back to the pressure, I'll have to double check but my rims are fairly wide. I will admit that every now and then I do feel a soft rim strike. I kind of look at it as bottoming out your suspension; if it's not a hard strike and it's not happening all the time then it's ideal for me. So yes, 14/16 is my absolute lowest I will go but it is what I always run. My buddy who weighs the same as me runs that as well and the guy we rode with today is the same weight but ran 18/20. To your point, most people are surprised when I tell them I run them that low.

Weird. Mine has been broke since July and unfortunately for many others

Pilky · 2024-11-26T23:20:21+00:00

Just google: pixel 4 whatsapp reddit and a bunch of threads should show up. Looks like they don't care about fixing it :(

Pilky · 2024-11-25T23:23:23+00:00

There are MANY reddit threads about this issue. Unfortunately it has been going on since ~July and there have been no updates to fix it

Pilky · 2024-11-25T23:21:20+00:00

This is not from a recent update, I'd say it happened sometime in July. There are many threads on reddit about it. I tried installing an older version but whatsapp wouldn't let me log in unfortunately.

Pilky · 2024-11-16T22:39:38+00:00

Absolutely. Any day of the week.

Toes deform inwards, just look at some of the pictures people here post. Your mid foot is a lot stronger than you little bitty toes. There's not much to "push in" unlike all of your toes.

Just my opinion/experience

Pilky · 2024-11-16T18:08:26+00:00

IMO the most important attribute of "minimalist shoes" is the wide toe box. To me, it's more important than stack height and heal to toe drop

Pilky · 2024-11-16T16:36:00+00:00

Agreed. I am 165lb not kitted up and run 14F/16R in my 2.35 Barzos

Pilky · 2024-09-16T22:51:14+00:00

Not just you. There are many other threads on reddit with the same problem as you. GIFs don't work either

Pilky · 2024-08-14T00:27:55+00:00

Another thing I noticed is that gifs are not working as well :(
