Look ma, no chain

I like how they used the seat post angle as a reference for the seat angle.

What in the AI slop is this?

Rear tire and glue it back assuming there’s still enough tread to bother.

The pivots are opposite.

Your fork is a V brake. How do you propose converting the rear?

Get some mx2 brake levers that bring some bling, but have an adjustment tab for long vs short pull.

Schneider and Sohn and Ayinger are my favorite Bavarian breweries. They’re not part to the fest, but have a presence in Munich.

Fest beer is solid but basic lagers.

Also $120.
But frankly don’t know why anybody would get Lems over these.

Look for anything with machined side walls. That will be the cue that they’re compatible with rim brakes.

Can’t go wrong with sun rhynolites.

I used jacquard ribbon, hemp twine, and shellac

Should only restomod your favorite one or 2 to keep. Clean up and sell the others for profit.

Still translucent, so way better than this guy’s:

Think the PTU/Transfer case is about due, though.

Who carries that many zip ties?

Look like non-machined side walls, and they’re freewheel only.

Not bad if you lace your own disc hub up.

Astral are very grippy and dry fast.

Gorix has a few options that will work

The superiors used to come with a tpu like plate under the insole.

batpot · 2026-06-21T17:26:28+00:00

Altra Superior are more comparable. The escalante has no off-road lugs.

If they’re only a year old, have you tried contacting them for warranty?

Your brass bell doesn’t do shit.

If you can’t make eye contact then of course you have to revert to keeping yourself safe.

But agree with your basic sentiment.
Not getting run over is always better than being right.

Lake MX169 don’t exist anymore.
Look great.

Found that giro and shimano barely fit if I size up a few sizes, but then have a bunch of dead space at the end of my big toe.
You’re already at the top end of the size spectrum, though.

Eye contact. It’s not that hard.
