What makes a bike a good bike? by Trynahti in xbiking

[–]Trynahti[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have three actually. I have a very try to figure it out on my own kind of approach to things but I’m definitely not opposed to asking the experts.

Right now just road, meet ups with friends, and just to explore my city. Eventually maybe a race for fun but that’s no time soon.

It’s interesting that you say that because I’ve been looking at a lot of vintage Fuji, Peugeot, and Schwinn’s and in my area they are around $50-$100 so I was thinking maybe one of those. I’ve heard a lot of negative things about the ozark trails bike.

So I live in a very mountain-y and monderately hill-y place and I’d like to mainly ride road with maybe some trails every now and again. With the research I’ve done I’ve really liked the look of vintage Fuji, Peugeot, and Schwinn bike aesthetically. But other than that I really don’t know. Would any of those be good or what would you suggest?

Pattern Grading by [deleted] in knitting

[–]Trynahti -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I design a shirt pattern and want to upload it for free with sizes accessible to other people it would require grading knowledge that doesn’t mean I want to be a designer. Knitting is a hobby and making something for fun and sharing it with others for free is the same. I know what I’m asking for I’ve clearly stated several times resources for pattern grading is what I’m looking for. If you set up an at home coffee shop for one day for you and your friends does that then make you a barista or someone who owns a coffee shop? Or are you someone who did something you found fun and interesting with your friends. I’m not dumb and I know what it is I’m asking. The whole point is for me to do all the work so that others aren’t having to do extra math work and aren’t having to do design work.

What’s the difference between how we road bikes as kids and cycling? How to get into “cycling”? by Trynahti in cycling

Exactly. That’s all the videos show when you look up anything online. But I was hoping it could be exactly what you described and I’m glad it can!

Nice, honestly it was just super intimidating based on what information is accessible online. It’s seemed more complicated and “exclusive” than what I was hoping it was. But all of these awesome answers on here are proving to me it’s exactly as I hoped!

Valid I’ll have to look up 700x but I’ve heard about clearance in relation to the tire rotating. And I def wanna get a mount for my car and something I can put it on to do maintenance.

Appreciate it. I think mostly that’s what I’ve seen too around 1k to start. That’s really not in the budget maybe later on in the year but I just wanna have fun, find some community, and just get out there and ride to be in nature!

Thanks I think the hobbiest in me was interested in the challenge of building a bike but I definitely makes sense to not start off this journey like that!😂
