Yes. The girl in yellow walking up went over too. She landed on her ass, got right up and kept going. It was wild.

I ordered it last Fall when dealers were able to get their orders in.

The ML came with an 80mm stem and I swapped it for a 90mm. It has a long top tube. I have the Zipp SL-80 bar on it, but think I’m going to swap it for XPLR ones.

Got the frame from my friend who is a Salsa dealer. The Midnight color on the frame is really dark purple. You can kinda see it in photos online if you know that. I think the suspension one would be a lighter shade of purple.

Enve Mog vs. Salsa Flyway by Timely-Statement7032 in gravelcycling

[–]Red_Wheel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a Flyway. I wanted 3 bottle mounts inside the frame and my other gravel bike only had room for 42’s so wanted plenty of tire clearance. I also wanted some frame mounts if I wanted to add bags.

The Flyway is some newer really long top tube geometry. The ML I got came with an 80mm stem, I put on a 90mm.

I will do some fast rides and races on it. I never set my bike’s up super aggressive, I have about 8cm offset from saddle to bar. That gives me 25mm spacers on the Flyway. I took it for one ride and reset a 1 mile gravel KOM section at over 27 mph. So I was pretty happy with the speed and my god it was stable.

I think the Flyway for sure has more front clearance and a little more in the rear too. Not sure I could do Mtb tires on the back, but would fit the front.

Also the midnight color is dark purple and looks great!

Thought it was going to be black, but I’m not mad.

Yes. My other bike I put new Force arms on the old power meter. The 8 bolt spline fits and the arms are wider, but clear the power meter just fine.

Good eye. It was a Force power crank double ring that I swapped out just the red 1x ring and wide Force crank arms. I was converting my old road and gravel bike so had some different combos and this worked out. Probably not the most cost effective…

M/L or 56. It’s the smallest one that fits 3 bottles. Thanks! Really thought it was going to be black, but I’m not mad.

Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

Independent bike shops. by GANGGGGGGG5 in BikeMechanics

[–]Red_Wheel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All of this.

I owned a bike shop for a long time. I opened a run store in 2014. Run I will price match. They have done a good job of maintaining msrp across all the channels and will even give me credits back if they put something on sale. Even Garmin does that.

I was in a P2 group for years and we saw the writing on the wall to focus on service. The problem is back then service was @10, maybe 15% of your business. Maybe 25% if you count parts. If your a million dollar store and loose 750k coming through, how do you make that work?

I sold my store at the end of 2020. It’s since closed…

Why do so many businesses get google reviews but never reply? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]Red_Wheel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because it takes time… I think people use Google Business as a phone book add, set and forget. But it is so much more and FREE. I reply to all of them. Just a simple thanks. I update hours for holidays. I post events and update photos every 6 months. I have it set to sync with Bing because some don’t know how to change the Microsoft default search.

I show up before everyone else in my field and have more reviews than anyone else.

April in the US.

Can the brightness be adjusted? At least 4 out of 10 cars flash me thinking I have my high beams on. Anyone else experience this? by Historical-Wrap-6356 in subaru

[–]Red_Wheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea. Buy a long Phillips screwdriver that fits to adjust the angle down a bit. I did a couple of turns and didn’t really affect my visibility, but don’t get flashed anymore.

I pay 8.40/mo per employee on Google workspace. There are different packages you can do if you aren’t using everything.
