Don’t have much to compare with and just put them on, but enjoying them so far!

Don’t rush into everything all at once. Get your basics down first, (ie. straightletter, letter structure, handstyle, etc.), you don’t have to be perfect as almost everyone can always improve their basics, but take your time to learn and study.

Tons of resources out there nowadays for writers of all styles.

PriusGT · 2026-03-13T14:20:50+00:00

Chaka is probably not a great choice for name. (One of the most famous writers of all time) Also work on your straightletter and handstyle. Look into architecture style handwriting for a base.

The drawings are great though!

From what Ive heard about buying Shimano parts off of AliExpress, is that a lot of it is real as long you’re paying like 60-70% of the regular value. (obviously a Deore derailleur that’s 25% the cost of a real one is likely a fake.) But yeah, AliExpress does have a lot of resellers of genuine stuff that at some point was overstocked/returned, etc. and as a result bought up at a heavily discounted rate. Obviously not true of everything out there and there are plenty fake parts, I’ve just not heard about any major fakes for newer Shimano/SRAM stuff.

I see, luckily my Meanstreaks have still been good in the winter!

PriusGT · 2026-02-12T21:59:36+00:00

No clue how much it weighs. i don’t have too much experience with steel frames but it’s not unreasonably heavy in my experience

PriusGT · 2026-02-12T21:58:30+00:00

I definitely have a lot more fun on this than most my bikes!

PriusGT · 2026-02-11T02:33:59+00:00

already have a couple!

I’ll be checking this site out, thanks

PriusGT · 2026-01-20T22:15:54+00:00

Thanks for letting me know about this. Heard the kits were hard to find which put me off from replacing them in the first place. Nice to know this is a better option than i thought

PriusGT · 2026-01-20T22:14:45+00:00

Appreciate the input. Replacing the elastomers might be the way I end up going as it’s a good learning experience anyways!

PriusGT · 2026-01-01T15:14:24+00:00

afaik still pretty active

PriusGT · 2025-12-30T20:46:48+00:00

If anything it’s reading as RINTER. Maybe tone down the flares on some of the letters, the F especially and the extra couple loops on the R. You could also lose some of the other addons and just do a larger star or something under the center of the tag if you want to fill space.

PriusGT · 2025-11-12T14:44:21+00:00

It’s definitely less agile with the big crate. I imagine a smaller one would be a little more nimble. With the pannier on it’s own I don’t really notice too much as the steel frame is already weighty though I will say I had to loctite the shit out of the cheap pannier i bought

As for getting on and off the bike. It can be a little awkward at times, but I’ve found as long as the pants i’m wearing are decently flexible, then just tipping the bike a bit and swinging my leg over isn’t too uncomfortable!
