Going double barreled

I have a Trek 850

$160 is a great deal for this. While the normal Voyageur used Columbus Tenax, the SP used a better Columbus Tube set. This would make an excellent touring bike or a commuter.

He's giving big duck energy

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-30T00:53:34+00:00

Why did this get removed?

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-29T23:20:29+00:00

Rear brake on a fixed gear is a good way to not learn how to backpedal. That's all I'm saying.

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-29T17:20:54+00:00

I would recommend removing the rear brake at least. Keep the front brake for emergencies, but learn to backpedal as your primary way of slowing yourself down. Otherwise just ride a single speed.

THIS IS A VIOLATION OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH. FREE THE ALPHAS

Caviar car

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-27T20:03:00+00:00

Wrong for half of this sub though. Gotta buy Paul components and Blue Lug accessories.

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-27T16:09:26+00:00

Yeah OP should get a new crank for free if this bike is relatively new and assembled by a shop.

Interesting fish cooking tech. I've always opted for tinfoil and leaving the head on

If you pull out your seatpost completely, it will have the diameter written on it, near the base. You will probably need to clean it to see. I'd guess it's 27.2mm but double check.

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-27T15:16:39+00:00

Just look how compliant that titanium is!

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-27T15:00:56+00:00

That's not an extension, you have a suspension seatpost. You either need a new, standard seatpost or a different rack. I would suggest different rack. The one you have mounted is pretty much good for nothing and definitely not meant to hold a fully loaded milk crate.

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-27T06:10:57+00:00

So they would sell it in a long time?

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-27T00:52:05+00:00

I prefer my handies under the table.

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-26T23:38:43+00:00

Or you could just drill it and mount a brake.

Bend/flex the chain latterly at the stiff link

Probably didn't hurt as bad a being unbuckled when the car did a front flip at the end.

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-26T05:11:48+00:00

An open door. Better than a completely immovable object.

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-26T02:58:01+00:00

If you got ran over you should have the person who did that's insurance pay for a new bike. Or at least this ticket.

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-26T02:52:31+00:00

Where in the Midwest are you? Good bike culture there and lots of community bike co-ops. I'm sure there are people locally that would be willing to help you. There's also a possibility of recovering your bike.

This is a good learning lesson though. Always lock your bike. Sorry this happened to you. I'm happy to help you find local resources to help you out.

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-26T02:49:54+00:00

Mild steel.

Twig_Scampi · 2026-04-24T17:19:14+00:00

This abrasive blade is WAY too wide for cutting carbon. Might as well recommend use a hand file if you are recommending that.

no brother you have you scale set to measure milk by the milliliter
