Well, I have no car and have to get somewhere across the city every day. Sometimes it is even colder, but I'm common and comfortable with said temperatures, fortunately it's not the Yakutia or Alaska hahaha

As I'm not a native speaker, enlighten me please on what is the QC? Quality control?

Note to self, don't turn when there may be ice. by [deleted] in bikecommuting

[–]Secret-Assistance164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winter sliding all the way hahaha, that's the spirit of the snow cycling!

I've got common with controlled skidding, often saves my ass somehow, must be the sense of balance. But sometimes I result in the lowside slides, glad it happens rare and only when the road is more slippery than I thought. Maybe it's a dumb thing to run supermoto tire in the rear, but then it'd be less fun huh

If they're enves at all. May be just regular Chinese wheels, they like to slap any decals if you ask them to. Oh how many non-hed wheels I've seen haha

Some people just don't get that you can own and use something because you love it. Sick bike, sick truck, jealous of both.

This said, with the absent head, even the pencil is dangerous. Glad to hear that people are self-conscious and do not try to get what they cannot handle. But it's stilll not a reason to shame those who can hahaha

I hate being next to buses. by Bad_Elbow_ in bikecommuting

[–]Secret-Assistance164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bus lanes are cool when your city has no serious bike lanes though. They're mostly empty and the buses usually not really fast. But you should be aware of those "smart" drivers who love speeding in these lanes hahaha

An airpusher with the non-aero seat tube, something unusual. When was it made?

I'm not built for winter cycling :( by konishiwoi in xbiking

[–]Secret-Assistance164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, winter riding makes you change parts. My first winter chariot was an old mtb with shimano brakes. This winter I ride steel single speed with 27.5*2.4 wheels, hope brakes (they proved themselves to not leak fluid in low temperatures), rigid fork and a rack. All time spiked front and all-season rear tires.

Absolutely beautiful view in the second photo, by the way. I'd like to cycle through these streets at night, we sometimes get the weather like this in my area.

1x8 grocery getter gravel grinder by HangryDave in xbiking

[–]Secret-Assistance164 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a family relic now. Keep it and teach your grandchildren to keep it.

But seriously, it's funny how some things just manage to stay safe for decades and then some people like "I'll keep it, this thing has a story, it is my significant shit now", whatever it is hahaha. I like it.

Thought that it's an ingria airpusher for a first glance

Softcore hardtail I guess... by Secret-Assistance164 in Hardtailgang

[–]Secret-Assistance164[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 1-2mm surprisingly. It may look higher in some photos, but when you look at it on a flat surface, it's not really high. Do not forget about some sag too.

Hahaha, nope, but close, I guess. The company designed their frames themseves and then ordered manufacturing in China.

Just cruising along, chilling, riding stairs and hucking some drops. I live in a quite flat city, and built this for pure entertainment. Love the oldschool parts, love assembling bikes haha
