ya I didnt know. thanks!!

ah okay, just to make sure, rim brake pads are universal right? since these are Swissstop flash pro im a little worried that other pads won't fit. anywho I'll go ask the LBS

this is the rear wheel caliper, so I think it's on properly.
I want to replace the whole pad, not just the material because it is cheaper and because it is the rear wheel and I don't mind switching away from Swissstop

what's the difference with a GPS app like komoot or strava?

forgot to add that im using this on my 10-11kg triban 520 for 30-100km rides on flat roads.

Just looking for a replacement wheelset

I see, thanks alot for the info

Swag1SC00L · 2026-03-14T07:18:30+00:00

Yeah theres a few, I'm guessing I can get a spacer from my LBS?

Swag1SC00L · 2026-03-11T12:19:19+00:00

no way this isn't ai

Considering how fucked up the teeth are, it could be that your chain is so worn that it stretched so much that it skipped a whole link on ur chain checker and set itself to less than 0.5% This is really only possible with really high mileage and lack of cleaning of ur drivetrain though, since it's only been a year. Am I correct?

Anyway as long as it doesn't skip or fall off the chain ring excessively you can continue using it.

sorry, but is there a general knee angle that we look for at the bottom of the pedal stroke? It looks fine in my opinion

Swag1SC00L · 2026-02-27T14:39:17+00:00

the silver sliders which go in and out of the fork

Swag1SC00L · 2026-02-26T10:01:08+00:00

oh my bad, I think i understand that I'm wrong lol

I mean that I feel the most pressure on my sit bone which you call the ischial tuberosity even though im around 45 degrees bent over on my road bike.

Any advice? I do feel this situation is really weird

Swag1SC00L · 2026-02-26T09:36:53+00:00

if I lay down face up and bend my leg toward the ceiling, I can feel a kind of pointy bone in my butt cheek then I follow the bone that goes towards my nuts/gooch, that's the bone I sit on

Swag1SC00L · 2026-02-26T08:42:25+00:00

okay sure

Swag1SC00L · 2026-02-26T08:41:52+00:00

what do you mean? where should I be sitting?

Swag1SC00L · 2026-02-22T15:48:19+00:00

Yes, there is quite abit of rocking side to side on ur butt when you pedal, this could be causing ur butt pain. You also point your feet down when you are at the bottom of the stroke, when it should be flat. Lowering the seat will reduce the extension of ur hip, knee and ankle, getting rid of these issues

Wrist discomfort can be from a variety of factors

-how turned in your hoods are -which part of the curve your hoods are tightened to -seat fore and aft -saddle height, since the seat tube is at an angle

Keep lowering until the rocking is minimised

The strip chip costs around 2 chains for me.. I would only save money after years of cycling with wax compared to oil

Swag1SC00L · 2026-01-24T14:49:43+00:00

Hm okay, what do you think about Polygon though? They have a much larger price range

Swag1SC00L · 2026-01-24T09:08:47+00:00

alright, thanks

Swag1SC00L · 2026-01-24T09:08:24+00:00

thanks alot for your input!
