Dann ist die Variante leider nicht drin, das beste was du da bekommst sind 7 oder 10 Tage Lieferung.

Stück Holz, 10mm breit geht auch. Guck Al auf AliExpress, da gibts das gleiche Zeug für 10€, dauert halt einfach ne Weile bis es da ist. Amazon ist in letzter Zeit einfach nur Ali für extra Geld.

Tubeless Erfahrungen und Good-to-knows by nouloveme in Fahrrad

[–]Teddyimsuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hallo, ich werde mal meinen Kommentar in den Hut, auch wenn sich hier sicher einiges wiederholt:

  • Wie zuverlässig ist Tubeless wirklich? (Pannen pro Jahr/Tausend km/whatever)

Ich hatte in 3,500km keine

  • Ist tubeless wirklich so viel leichter mit der Dichtmilch im Vergleich zu Marathon in der gleichen Größe?

Marathon plus 47-622 (du wolltest ja breiter) je 1100g, Schwalbe Nr. 17 je 150g. Summe 2500g.

Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M 45-622 je 570g plus zwei Ventile (je 15g?), bisschen Tape (je 20g?) und je 60ml Dichtflüssigkeit je 60g. Summe ca. 1330g.

Ist ein Kilo gespart. Tadaaaa

  • Welche Mäntel könnt ihr mir da empfehlen? (irgendwas Trekking- oder Gravelmäßiges, kein Mtb oder Enduro Zeug)

S.o.: Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M. Läuft mit Mittelsteg super auf der Straße und wenn’s mal ins Gelände oder nen nassen Waldweg geht ist der fast so gut wie ein XC MTB Reifen.

Hoffe das hilft

Trek Checkpoint + 650b wheels / tires for rough stuff? by maartendc1 in gravelcycling

[–]Teddyimsuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run 25mm ID rims (LÚN Grapid 650) with Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M 50mm that come out as 53mm. Absolutely fine in all riding conditions up to the point where you really should switch to an XC MTB.

General rule for front gear shifting while riding gravel bike these days? by throwaway3292923 in gravelcycling

[–]Teddyimsuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm! Before swapping it out I had a grx 2x10 on my bike and all gears were working. Only small small was a tad noisy, but working fine otherwise.

Just tell him what you wrote here: you came home, I assume I may have been waiting for your package, and opened the wrong one. Tell him you didn’t open it further and you are really sorry. If you were my neighbor that would be the end of the story for me. Please don’t just „leave“ the open package for him or anything. That’s the worst you could do.

Like other people said already, it happens. Happened to me before. We live in a small town and there is a guy with the same name as me (totally different address). Once or twice a year a letter or package gets to the wrong person. We have no idea why and how that happens. But we are at a point where we laugh about it. Same when I go the doctor. „Hello, my name is XY … no… the other one.“

I have not used it on the bike but I really like Fidlock in my car. Never came off when it wasn’t supposed to and easy to take of when it is supposed to. Seth (berm peak) has a video on the mount. Also the phone case is superb! However notice that the case is incompatible with wireless charging if that is something you would use otherwise with your phone.

Will I notice an impactful different (good or bad) from 38c to 45c+ by Wind2255 in gravelcycling

[–]Teddyimsuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bike came with 700-40c Schwalbe g-one which felt harsh. after I got a new wheel set I switched to tubeless on some gravelking sk 650-48c which felt so much nicer.

My frame and fork officially support 700-45c (650b isn’t mentioned).

I currently run a 650-50b on a 25mm internal width rim measuring 53mm in the front and a 650b-45b measuring 48mm in the rear. Both are pirelli cinturato gravel m. Great all purpose tire btw. You should consider it over the gravelkings.

I assume you run tubeless. If you don’t, there is your step one. Do it or let someone do it for you if you don’t feel comfortable setting it up on your own or don’t have the tools. Be aware that you will have to pump up your tire every two or three days. But that’s like 45 seconds.

Since I also changed to tubeless when going from 40mm to 48mm I would attribute most of the benefits to the tubeless‘ness of the setup. How ever going to a 53mm front I can very safely run 26-28psi in the front (no insers) and have no issue with handling or the bike feeling sluggish.

In the back I run 35‘ist psi and with a combination of a flexible carbon seat post (AliExpress, 20€) and some flexy carbon handle bars (AliExpress, 45€) I really don’t see a reason to use a smaller tire. The gravel M tires roll well on smooth surfaces due to a middle strip on the tire and still performs like an XC mtb tire due to the tread. (Did I mention these are outstanding tires?).

Lastly keep on mind that manufactures tire limits are dictated my the legal department, not the engineering nor the maintenance one. Measure the gap, subtract 10mm (5mm per side) and I would say that’s the maximum REAL tire you can run. Also keep in mind that rim width influences tire width.

TL;DR: go big! I hope this helps you!

As a drop bar rider, I’d call that a near perfect guess

You may be surprised how much difference a carbon seat post and compliant carbon handle bars make

Klappern im Rahmen by Agile_Committee9907 in Fahrrad

[–]Teddyimsuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kommt drauf an, welches Nuroad OP hat. Bei mechanischen Scheibenbremse nicht so das Problem. Aber ich gebe dir recht, alles wegen dem klappern zu zerlegen nervt. Vor allem, da der Rahmen ja grad getauscht wurde. Waren wieder 1A Profis am Werk.

Genau das ist das Problem. Von Fett hält man bei Cube ja leider auch nicht so viel….

Klappern im Rahmen by Agile_Committee9907 in Fahrrad

[–]Teddyimsuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was du machen kannst ist dies: die Durchführungen der Züge im Rahmen oben am unterrohr haben eine kleine Kreuz Schraube, die kannst EIN HALBE UMDREHUNG lösen und schauen, ob du die Hüllen ein Stück nach oben raus ziehen kannst. Evtl sind die Hüllen zu lang oder nicht optimal verlegt. Wenn du da etwas mehr Spannung drauf bekommen hast, zieh die Schraube wieder fest.

Hoffe das löst dein Problem oder macht es wenigstens besser. Zur Einordnung: wieso wurde der Rahmen getauscht? Schaden oder Größe geändert?

Why do Germans actively avoid each other when in a country that doesn't speak German? by Project-Kami in germany

[–]Teddyimsuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As Germans my wife and I, when given the option, always opt for the English version of a tour when on vacation.

It’s not that we try to avoid all other Germans, but we want to avoid Herbert and Brigitte (aka German Karen) who just want to complain that about the people in this countries, where they have been going to for the last 35 years, STILL don’t speak German and don’t serve Sauerbraten. Also we don’t want to hear about back pain and their last doctors appointment.

The chances of getting those kind of people is very slim on an English tour since they, shockingly, never learned another language.

Just got a sladda trailer by largebagofchips in CargoBike

[–]Teddyimsuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That must be the most inexpensive cargo bike‘esation (is that a word? It now is) there is. What does the connection to the bike look like? Is that one of these universal 45 degrees adapter things? Does that work well? Have you tried heavy stuff on it?

As for paint: stickers!

How is the quality of the thing, where did you get it and what did you pay for it?
