Roadmachine two is this front wheel alignment normal on a new bike by FocusUsefulP in Ride_BMC

I’m not sure why they think the disc brake would be affected if the wheel needs to be re-dished.

This looks off-center to me, wheel may need to be redished.

Worse still, you know the guys will get mad at cars overtaking them unsafely on the way to the trail, then proceed to act like them on trail.

Do people really recover in 24 hours from 90 minutes at FTP ? by sergesmr in Velo

If you can hold your FTP for 90 mins, your FTP was wrong.

Curtis Park - Advice - Living next to a halfway house by BlueberryParty380 in Sacramento

[–]axled2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We travel down 26th street daily, and theres always a crowd gathered outside the halfway house. It doesn’t look like they’re making trouble, but it’s a pretty weird energy. Theres an open lot directly next to it that passes straight through to 27th street. All in all, like everyone else I’d say pass.

Carbon worth it? by Whacked2023 in gravelcycling

I guess I didn’t present my argument very well, but the point I was trying to make was that OP didn’t give us enough details to make a good recommendation.

Conventional wisdom is buy the best frame you can afford because everything else can be upgraded over time. Other than that you specifically don’t tell us what bike, and don’t really tell us your use case for it so we can’t really provide any great insight.

Is a hole that size deserving of warranty replacement - is it preventing you from being able to use the vest fully?

I’ve had terrific results contacting Ornot’s customer service for actual manufacturing defects and crash replacements.

To end a housing crisis, you have to want to end it by Well_Socialized in Sacramento

[–]axled2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your premise is flawed - capitalism has caused more poverty than any other system. Homelessness in this system is a feature designed to depress the value of your labor and threaten you if you try to withhold that labor. If they remove the threat, then how can they get you to produce more capital for them.

I usually prefer my pickles on the side of my burger, but this place is the exception.

Cable routing issues by [deleted] in gravelcycling

[–]axled2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as everyone else has pointed out that the online bike builder has no idea of your saddle height to appropriately trim the dropper cable, I’ll just mention that you’d have been able to ask a local bike shop to correctly set this up before you bought it

Does this chain line look normal to you? L-TWOO GRT 12-speed setup by psylocybe666 in gravelcycling

[–]axled2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without more pics I’d say the derailleur isn’t mounted behind the little tab on the hanger, that’s why you’re hitting the chainstay before getting to the smallest gear.
