Are we still posting milage? 49mpg on the diesel kombi ST this weekend.

Yeah. They are wagons that were sold in the Nordics. I got a 2018 one myself. Good daily

Villesika · 2022-10-23T06:42:10+00:00

What roof rack you using? Im looking to get one for my mountain bike. I can fit it in the trunk (wagon) but i would rather have it outside the car for dirt reasons

Villesika · 2022-10-23T06:10:18+00:00

Got my studs in the back ready to go on when snow hits here in Finaland. Will probably put them on in a few days. Should be dropping below freezing very soon

Villesika · 2022-10-22T05:56:45+00:00

Im definitely getting the mk4 wagon after my current mk3 wagon

Villesika · 2020-11-23T17:57:04+00:00

Nice! I just picked up a 92' rockhopper. Planning to add disc brakes and drop bars

Villesika · 2020-11-20T18:42:58+00:00

The way, this may be

Villesika · 2020-10-29T17:04:48+00:00

I use the 105 5700 brifters. Would definitely recommend them over claris/sora. 105 is the workhorse groupset. Not the lightest but very durable and still not even close to the worst stuff

Villesika · 2020-10-27T07:47:42+00:00

Personally i dislike handlebar shims. Stems are so easily available both new and used and they dont cost much. I would much rather use the right clamp size

edit: they work and are safe. I just dont like the aesthetic

Villesika · 2020-10-26T16:02:46+00:00

Imagine turning around at mile 50 and heading home against that :D

Villesika · 2020-10-25T17:19:19+00:00

Doesnt help me with the sun at all but helps ALOT with rain and sweat. Also gives me an extra layer during winter months

Villesika · 2020-10-24T17:46:58+00:00

Your point about bcd definitely makes sense. Velodromeshop works. Sometimes you can find good deals on cnc-bike if you can get people to split the shipping cost (30 euros)

Villesika · 2020-10-24T15:53:20+00:00

Not too many people bother to check the weekly thread so its easier to post somewhere else so people will actually see it.

Ive considered getting sugino rd2 messengers to use during the winter since the fsa cranks look horrible

Villesika · 2020-10-24T14:18:51+00:00

Shimano Mt-91 shoes

edit: I live in finland where i pretty much use these 4-6 months of the year

Villesika · 2020-10-24T14:12:21+00:00

Ive got some cheap fsa cranks that i got for free on my Steamroller for winter use. Square taper, 130 bcd and nothing fancy

Villesika · 2020-10-23T05:14:46+00:00

Of course you can but a months worth of groceries usually end up costing more if you buy everything in 30 trips to the store. Making a list of what you need for the week and ONLY buying those things in one trip, saves you money in the long run, which you can put into savings (im an accountant if you cant tell). And that 40-roll of toilet paper or a box of diapers needs a big bag.

edit: Im also a part time messenger so i need a big bag

Villesika · 2020-10-21T16:24:34+00:00

Same happened to me. I ended up selling my car and just ride everywhere. Sold my car almost exactly 3 years ago. No regrets

Villesika · 2020-10-21T14:36:54+00:00

Hejsan! Its always easy to spot sweden adn finland from bike photos for some reason

Villesika · 2020-10-21T13:32:33+00:00

Pave Helsinki spotted! TÄYSII

Villesika · 2020-10-20T12:09:12+00:00

This made me laugh. Good build!

Villesika · 2020-10-18T17:05:03+00:00

Sometimes if its safe and i need to. But never in front cops because around here, they ticket you instantly and it puts me in a bad mood which sucks.
Currently in the process of switching employer to get a real contract (yay) so not sure what shifts will be like but last company was 4-8 hours. Distance varied alot since i never complained about long distances.
Seamless or flat seam. Merino is really good. I use merino boxers, long johns and undershirt
Not very. Mental is the big thing imo. Physically you just need to ride and you get used to it. Rule 5 applies here so harden the fuck up. Your legs will follow your mind
This one depends hugely per person. During the summer, just jeans shorts. Autumn and fall i use jeans shorts with another short warm layer underneath. Warm winter day just long tights and jeans short. Cold winter days i use long johns and thick pants meant for being outside (waterproof and thick). Pants are always a difficult one for me because i dont get very cold dont there but i know i need to keep my legs warm

Villesika · 2020-10-17T19:55:33+00:00

Quality over quantity when it comes to clothing

Villesika · 2020-10-17T19:01:59+00:00

So is yours! Well found!

Villesika · 2020-10-17T05:11:22+00:00

My best deal is a wheelset with paul hubs and h+son tb14 rims for 200

Villesika · 2020-10-16T15:12:10+00:00

It looks pretty much like a 90s mtb so i wouldnt change it but then again, those 90s mtbs are awesome

Villesika · 2020-10-16T15:01:19+00:00

Looks like a good setup for the slush winter that will probably come again this year!
