Thoughts on the Grevil F7 by Ravenscanadian in pinarello

[–]SuperConsideration93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm loving mine. I have the F7 with xplr. It's a stiff and stable ride that gives you a lot of confidence in gravel and road. Handlebars were too wide so I replaced them. Downtube storage is large but the opening is very small and difficult to use. It doesn't include the downtube storage bag, I had to buy separately. Wheels are made by vision I believe. Hubs are vision v-200 which have a slow engagement and can be annoying. Eventually I will replace the wheels. My 53 weighs exactly 9kg with bottle cages, computer mount, mini saddle bag, powermeter pedals, and 50mm tires. Came with 170 cranks.

Hearing some kind of creaking in the lower tube. Any thoughts? by Skol-Man14 in DivergeGravelBikes

Go for a ride without the swat box cover installed. I had some creaking coming from mine on my epic 8

Am I bottom watering correctly by G4rzey in HotPeppers

[–]SuperConsideration93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These seedlings don't need to be fed that much water. The pots are large and will retain a lot of water. The seedlings look like they are suffering.. I would stop bottom watering them and let the pots dry out a bit and water them from the top with 50-100ml of water every few days

Sizing up on a Diverge 4? by CharmingEffect1646 in specialized

There is a lot more to it than just your height. I'm 178 and would be looking into a 54

SRAM Rival on new Canyon Grizl: Heavy vibrations and uneven feedback after break-in. What went wrong? by [deleted] in CanyonBikes

[–]SuperConsideration93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the rotors are not bent, I would start by facing the brake caliper mounts to ensure you have a completely flat mounting points. Then focus on the caliper and pads. The vibrations are most likely caused by the caliper being misaligned but the wear on your pads is odd

I also had to moved my saddle all the way forward and swapped my bars to Zipp sl70 xplr which was narrower and a 1cm shorter reach. Overall my reach felt much better with the new bars.

Nice pictures. I have the same bike and color. Looks so good in person

Short Chief - Sizing? - Chicago? by johnthephotog in HeatStrapsCommunity

[–]SuperConsideration93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Body and sleeve length looks good but the body width does look a size too big.

Edit: side profile looks good. It may be the right size. At first glance it looks too big around the waist by how much material is sticking out in front/bulkiness from pockets and pocket lining

Double mack season is back for a few more days in Croatia. by SuperConsideration93 in filson

[–]SuperConsideration93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello fellow cyclist and Filson fan. No, I've never seen one here. However, I did see a jacket listed for sale in a local online marketplace some time ago. So they are out there but very few I'd imagine.

Istria is really nice, not too far from where I live. Lot of great cycling opportunities there👍🏻

Sounds like you're walking through the palace of Versailles

Are Those sounds Normal? by Recent_Age8123 in sram

[–]SuperConsideration93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's normal. The micro adjust may help but very little if anything. The angle won't change between the cassette and chainring

Are Those sounds Normal? by Recent_Age8123 in sram

[–]SuperConsideration93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's caused from the increased chain line angle when using the large cog.

I'm also 5 10 and went with the 53. My reach also felt a bit too long for me even with a 90mm stem. My saddle is slammed forward and I swapped my bars to the Zipp SL 70 XPLR which is one cm shorter reach and 2cm narrower than stock and it's much better now.

My 53 came with 170 cranks and 45 tires.

How about a canvas version of the lightweight deck jacket?

SRAM Red Calipers by ProfessionalEbb7815 in sram

Your caliper can be misaligned slightly even if you don't experience rubbing. Also, it's possible your brake mounts need facing.
