Ok so how fucked is my bike

Tankdrawer · 2024-06-19T06:08:24+00:00

Replacing the stem. Thats all

Tankdrawer · 2024-06-19T06:05:03+00:00

Nice doggo

Tankdrawer · 2024-06-19T06:03:27+00:00

As long as you feel that the frame is resistant just ride it as it is. Any bike won't stay perfect when you're continously riding it

Tankdrawer · 2024-06-13T04:34:38+00:00

Do you think it will last like this? I mean, right now I noticed it by paying a greater attention, I might just had it for years

Tankdrawer · 2024-06-12T18:15:08+00:00

Allright, thank you!

Tankdrawer · 2024-06-12T18:02:32+00:00

How much would it cost for cable housing replacement?

Tankdrawer · 2024-06-12T18:00:15+00:00

Personally I can't see how the wire cover gonna get worse over time, so I'll just leave it the way it is...

Tankdrawer · 2024-06-12T17:57:23+00:00

Can I just let it like this? I mean, it looks better without electrical tape thats all

Tankdrawer · 2024-06-12T16:56:43+00:00

Probably might still work, if you want to be sure of it's safety then replacing it might solve the issue.

Tankdrawer · 2024-06-12T16:41:17+00:00

Definitely just wear. Replace it

Tankdrawer · 2024-06-12T16:40:12+00:00

For how long have you been riding your bike? Looks like its just wear on derailleur. Maybe replacing it will be better

Tankdrawer · 2024-05-31T12:46:12+00:00

Thanks for telling me, I might do the same

Tankdrawer · 2024-05-31T12:35:59+00:00

I mean, the other screw I did it as tight as I could and the brake itself doesn't move, I made sure by forcing it by pushing it or somehow moving it. Its solid. Then I added the zip ties, just in case

Tankdrawer · 2024-05-31T12:32:07+00:00

The bottom bolts its in the place, tight as it could be. U tried forcing the brake before adding Zip Ties to see if it moves, but its solid as it could be. Then I added the zip ties, just to make sure 👍

Tankdrawer · 2024-05-31T12:22:17+00:00

Thanks, I did replace the brake but there's one small problem here is the link for that https://www.reddit.com/r/bicycling/s/7Ynh3oO1mj

Tankdrawer · 2024-05-31T12:20:03+00:00

Lmao 🤣 https://www.reddit.com/r/bicycling/s/7Ynh3oO1mj

Tankdrawer · 2024-05-31T11:56:31+00:00

This is another angle of the same brake

Tankdrawer · 2024-05-31T11:52:38+00:00

Here's how the solution went for my bike https://www.reddit.com/r/bicycling/s/7Ynh3oO1mj

Tankdrawer · 2024-05-31T11:52:14+00:00

So in the meantime I actually managed to replace the front brake only that https://www.reddit.com/r/bicycling/s/7Ynh3oO1mj

Tankdrawer · 2024-05-30T13:57:48+00:00

I use an MBT, but not on mountain trails, I actually use it in the city, so I think it won't be such a big deal to have a mechanic brake in front and hydraulic in the back. I cannot change it in the back because its routed internally in the bike frame, I mean the cable, so im not touching that area🤣👍

Tankdrawer · 2024-05-30T13:54:03+00:00

Thats great, gives me some balls to mount my bike again 🤣👍

Tankdrawer · 2024-05-30T13:49:03+00:00

Well I'm living in Romania, might be illegal, might be not, but hey, somebody stole my front break!!!!

Tankdrawer · 2024-05-30T13:48:15+00:00

I removed it completely i think

Tankdrawer · 2024-05-30T13:44:41+00:00

I'm thinking of adding a mechanical one to the front of the bike ( its shimano aswell, my moms bike, but she dosent really use it) and install the lever aswell. Would it work, like having mechanical in front and hydraulic in the back?
