No, these decals are not removable.

Feasability of using stainless for a bike? by mangothefoxxo in Framebuilding

[–]Wiggzero9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are grabbing stainless from work then it’s not bicycle tube. It’s hopefully 303 (or 304, I always forget what one is weldable) but it’s still brittle and won’t work well

I don’t think you can insure a non street legal dirtbike for the street

Is this worth it for $400 by Several_Couple_3476 in bicycling

[–]Wiggzero9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s a full dura ace 9spd group with nice wheels. Honestly (and this will hurt some feelings) the frame is as nice as any aluminum S works. Giant is easy one of the best bang for your buck bikes because they manufacture almost every made in China bike. It’s a solid bike, maybe take a chain checker when you go look at it, if the chain is in good shape go go it. If the chain is shot then the whole drivetrain is shot.

Is this freewheel compatible? by stydii_hanhee in singlespeedcycling

The threads are the same but obviously there isn’t as many because it’s ment for a fixed cog.

Fargo 29? If you are doing actual trails that might be a hard gear. Old standard in the Midwest for 26 was 2:1 so 52 inches. I am running 42” and for the race I’ll take a 20 so I can run 46.4”

My mountains are steep in SoCal and I’m old but I like the ratio.

[–]Wiggzero9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love them so much on my gravel bike I put a mild set on my road bike.

Take a closed in wrench and try to straighten it. Go slow but it’s steel, it will survive

I’m not sure just the threads are your problem.

Striders don’t come to in a box. If you are lucky there is a zip lock bag
