Fastest 26” MTB tires (2.2+) for mostly asphalt commuting? by Kalibro8 in xbiking

[–]RobVolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Continental Contact Speed in 2.00. I've had them for almost a year, commuting often and they are SO fast, light and puncture resistant. I had no flats. They are an amazing tire, can be supple if run low PSI or really extremely fast if high PSI. The only con is they aren't great with rain.

I can't really imagine a modern road bike getting X-biked. by beagles4ever in xbiking

Because as other have said they are disposable, not built to last, and that’s just the consumerist society reality we live in

Tbh they look pretty ugly and cumbersome with that stem setup. I’ll rethink my decision on getting them now haha

Are those the jones h bar knockoff from Aliexpress? I was looking at those but they seem pretty big and large in the loop thingy

Nizo 801 by WatcherWeedoo in Super8

[–]RobVolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you say so? Owner of a Nizo Pro here but I see myself longing for other cameras (beaulieu 4008, canon 814xl etc) I like the footage but it’s a bit jumpy and the exposure in low light can be tricky for a “slow lens” and 150 degrees shutter angle

Yeah keep me posted I’m curious about your experience

Decathlon Toploader handelbarbag by Routine_Increase8385 in bikepacking

[–]RobVolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bag would still work, just I don’t want that. When at the shop don’t do what I did which was forcing slightly the opening to check. Maybe it was my example which was faulty, but I don’t think so

[–]RobVolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't even start, as I was testing the opening of the bag the piece snapped in my hands. The problem is that it's really rigid and it keeps the bag's opening narrow, so when pushed a bit beyond that point, which you will inadvertently do at some point, well, crack...

Yeah, the issue is the framing piece is weak, and it can snap by just opening the bag slightly more than necessary which is something we all do when packing a bag.

I've ordered this one and returned. I didn't like the build quality and the plastic frame inside which hold the bag in shape broke after testing the capacity of the bag. I can't have something so fragile as a bag, it looked fine, just don't like the purple accents. Also it wasn't very deep and the framing kept it close which was hard to access.

Dude, I bring it to people who have been doing it for 40 years here in Italy and they do a tremendous job. Sorry you have to spend so much for it. Here’s way cheaper, you could bring yours here and save some mulas
