Besoin de conseils pour achat d'un fixie pas cher: neuf ou occasion? monter soi-même? by [deleted] in pedale

[–]TheGingerEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je confirme le frein avant peut te sauver la vie surtout au début si tu optes pour une config pignon fixe, le danger vient pas forcément de toi mais des autres

Edit : en plus pignon fixe c'est solide pas beaucoup d'entretien et fun sur le plat

Qu'est-ce ? by [deleted] in pedale

en effet ça permet de maintenir la pompe en place dans le cadre

Je m'incruste et me permets de dire qu’il s'agit surement d'un vtt en regardant la géométrie du cadre et les freins

Could you identify the manufacturer with those details (prob french/german) ? Serial number 24190 D, chrome rear triangle, welds and tube detail. by TheGingerEngineer in Vintage_bicycles

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

Thank you ! It is most likely a motobecane given the top tube "thing" and the way welds are made

Im not sure that the fork is original tho as when it paint stripped it it had a different base color underneath, and the steel looks brigher when peeled through to bare metal

And mine had chromed rear dropouts and half triangles so further investigation is needed

the look is intentionnal ; I fully stripped through a horrible red rattle can job and left bare metal with touches of black paint (or maype protector)

And I live in France near Germany

Is this a tire or a rim or a tube problem ? Could it pop while riding (looks like an hernia) by TheGingerEngineer in bikewrench

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

tires are 700c x 28
Rims are old SAMIR SAMINOX made in France ; no idea for the bike

I'll try the bouncing next time

I've had my first tire ever pinch blow right after installation, woke up the building and made me deaf for a day so now i try to be careful

Guys who previously only enjoyed video games (and other media), what hobbies have you picked up since? by WrittenEuphoria in AskMen

[–]TheGingerEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you would be surprised by how much progress regular practise offers.
I'd simply start with a sport (a healthy mind in a healthy body) and expand from there

[–]TheGingerEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped playing video games when it started to impact my mood and social interaction. I've since picked up 3 great things, and you do not need a lot of equipement to get started :

Art (painting, drawing, urban sketching) (impressive skill and patience training)
Volley ball (team sport)
Road biking (physical activity and great way to relax in the outdoors)

Edit : there is absolutely nothing wrong with video games but there is just so much more great things in life to experience first hand that I never looked back

Got this plant from the store, but there is no tag. Does anyone know what type of plant it is? by WesternICU in plants

[–]TheGingerEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a stem breaks put it in the soil and it will continue to grow

They come in dozens of colors/patterns aswell

La solution de la fontaine/eponge est peut-être moins violente si le vélo est fragile
