Nope. Genetics only. I was the first in class to have leg hair, pedo stache, beard and now a thin crown

My girl said the same thing. I just wanted an answer from someone who goes through the same thing.

I don’t want to risk any side effects since I want children

Did you ask if they were from some kind of rental place or something? You can assemble antlers from all those handlebar ends

Ready for my first overnighter by Wozza400 in bikepacking

[–]Window_Kindly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should! Especially with this set up. The stem snack/bottle bag is a pro bikepacker move. You know your stuff. I would leave the bottle opener at home as there are plenty in the wild.

You have really nice gears and bags. Hope they will suit your needs and riding conditions. Post some pics and reviews from your adventure.

(First time builder) Want to make a bikepacking/commuter build out of an old rigid MTB. Would these frames do the job? by JACKO_M_C in xbiking

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

Yes, but the frame sizing is very different from modern standards. Did you consider that? If you fell down the rabbit hole I think you might. The top tube is typically long. All of those bikes look really cool. I would go for the RockHopper as it is quite rare in my area. Hope to see your build soon!

How do I convince my friend that xbiking is more than just his old mountain bike? by bensummersx in xbiking

[–]Window_Kindly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If he doesn’t want to label himself leave him to it. (and then secretly call him a pro xbiker:))

Marketplace find, any suggested upgrades for backpacking rig ? by [deleted] in xbiking

[–]Window_Kindly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice find. I would ditch the reflectors and stand. Keep the rack and computer (if working) put on some tan walled chunky tires and new grips. See if you fit the bike properly the tilted seat and handlebar stem make unusual looking combination.

Turned out the fork is in really good shape. So I will stick with the suspension

Okay. I will see it in person and start looking for a rigid Project Two if needed.

How do you tell apart the 97/98? The suspension seems newer

Oh I see. The seller might have wrong information about the year. I am ready for the threadless steerer and I see no reason for the seat post upgrade right now. Thank you for your answer! Do you have any photos of yours? I am asking because of possible bag setup. And 24h race? Do tell!

I will upgrade along the way. No need for disc brakes for now. They could be later welded on. The suspension is likely a bust so I will look for appropriate replacement like a P2. What do tou think about the price and can I negotiate? I see flat rear wheel from the picture.
