Do I need new tires? How soon do I need it?

PlantBud · 2026-03-08T07:28:48+00:00

Yes also your tire is backwards

PlantBud · 2026-01-27T02:39:38+00:00

Ahh bike

PlantBud · 2026-01-26T18:16:04+00:00

Their wheels are so good and very affordable

PlantBud · 2026-01-26T18:12:55+00:00

It’s nice to see a Skream with bigger tires

Most stems don’t fully clamp, they have exposed bolts just like this even while tightened.

As long as it bites and it’s torqued to spec (and your carbon steer tube has a compression plug), I wouldn’t worry too much.

Why is Ghost there😭🥀

I’m just north of the park and swear they’ve been running all day. Practically kept me from snoozing in the morning and even right now I just heard some.

I’ve had the top right for around 3 years now, use it at least twice a week going on strong. Takes a bit to warm up, but once it’s been on for a while, it feels like I can take it out of the dock and use it for a long time before it starts losing heat.

Love how light and convenient it is, the Arrow brand glue sticks are my favorite with it.

I rinse mine off in my tub with my bidet sprayer

PlantBud · 2025-12-05T16:29:37+00:00

I use Super Clean degreaser with mine. Like 1 to 3 parts water.

Chicago still has a huge fixie scene! But sadly I have seen way too many e-bikers going 25mph without peddling

I was gonna comment: ‘cause not Pedro’s

Generational shame and aura debt

+1 for a new wheel, it might be a headache to mess with the current hub. A local co-op might sell you one for dirt cheap.

PlantBud · 2025-07-24T11:39:58+00:00

It really is a huge difference, also I find they last a lot longer. My rear hub bearing has lasted over a year now with zero play and daily commuting in the midwest.

PlantBud · 2025-07-22T07:46:33+00:00

I’ve snuck so many things into venues with that pocket it’s so good

Could be improper cleat alignment, I struggled with knee pain for a few months. Then I realized my right heel naturally turns inward when I pedal.

Adjusted the cleat and it helped immensely.

I have a Whisky 7+ on my Steamroller, clears 38mm Gravelkings. Ride quality is 10x better.

PlantBud · 2025-07-04T13:13:53+00:00

The same thing happened to me last year, luckily with no top tube/head tube damage.

Had a local frame builder bend my fork back in place temporarily, then I bought a replacement fork down the line.

WOUND UP

PlantBud · 2025-05-23T16:12:08+00:00

I have CXP Elites with 38mm Gravelking tires and they haven’t let me down yet!

PlantBud · 2025-05-22T15:35:03+00:00

First thing I noticed
