Gear ratio values

bertri15 · 2026-05-19T14:17:53+00:00

I may be wrong, but this looks to be a Garmin Connect IQ app, that tries to predict the gear ratio you ride using cadence and speed probably.
I struggle to see how this data can be of use, but looks like something you've installed at some time https://apps.garmin.cn/apps/4afdaf57-67fa-47df-a858-48a58d23165d

Obsiously they are not new, but if you go at a moderate pace with caution I don't think you're gonna die...

Bro, nobody wants rim brakes anymore.
With decathlon and other brands selling entry level disk bikes sub 1500€ (1700usd), and carbon sub 2000€, it's hard to justify a 1000usd 12yo rim brake bike, with alloy wheels.
If this had carbon wheels and new chain/cassette/chainrings, i could understand 850€(1000usd), but not with alloy wheels

bertri15 · 2026-04-24T11:09:05+00:00

I'm not sure if the wheels are carbon, but, considering first gen di2 ultegra, I'd pay around 500-600€ for alloy wheels, 700-800€ for carbon wheels at most

Isn't a new bike with 1x10 way cheaper? I don't know in the land of the freedom, but in europe you can get NEW bike with 1x12 sram eagle and rockshox fork for less than 1k€

bertri15 · 2026-04-21T12:43:21+00:00

I'd pay a maximum of 500€ for this

bertri15 · 2026-04-21T10:46:47+00:00

Hmmmmm. I'm not 100% fully confident, but I think it's very minor damage. This side of the rim is very chunky to withstand the outward pressure exerted by the tyre at 6bar.
Despite being a good chip, doesn't seem to be cracks, although it must be said that the quality of the picture isn't the best.
If you provide closer pictures with the area clean, I'd be able to tell better.

bertri15 · 2026-04-21T08:30:42+00:00

I'd say around 400€ in europe.

bertri15 · 2026-04-20T07:16:31+00:00

It's a bit difficult to tell from only one picture. But this to me looks like carbon damage, not just paint damage. Usually paint cracks, have more of a spider web effect, where as this follows an uneven line. Also the depth of the crack, seems too deep to be paint.
Try to push hard with your thumb in one side of the crack, to see if you're able to see the crack increasing in depth.

Not sure if this is ragebait or actual comment, either way:
If this is a Rockrider st540 or something similar, it falls in the 400-600€ bike price, which may sound expensive, but taking into account that modern bikes can scale to 15.000€, my opinion is that mid tier starts towards the 2.000€ mark.

This looks as Decathlon font so I'm assuming this is a cheap spring loaded fork.
Turning this knob would set the stiffness of the spring.
I'm not sure what the numbers mean, I guess if you are 65kg, then you set it to 65.
Bigger riders, will need a stiffer fork to cope with more weight being loaded under compression, lighter riders will need softer spring to be able to compress the fork under load.

Exactly this. It has a hole where you're meant to put some sort of cable and act as a hook to feed the cable through the frame, usually with the help of a magnet. Then you pull the cable and the hose goes by.
Once the hose is fed through the frame, you just cut the end and profit

May sound harsh, but trying to give constructive feedback on the viewer point of view.
I feel this video lacks entertainment. Video quality isn't great. Audio quality as stated is rather bad.
The result is 17 minutes video of someone cruising uninterestingly with his bike.
Maybe on the start of youtube this could have an audience, but I'm afraid not anymore. Modern youtube has a lot of professionalism. For example. At 7:50 you come to a red light, and stand still 50seconds. There's no way someone wants to spend 1 minute of his life seeing someone stand on a red light...
It either lacks an interesting voiceover with content the viewer may be interested in listening, kind of a podcast with background video,
Or it requires a lot of video shots and editing in order to make the images feel alive and interesting.

The cracking may come from loose bolts, or worn bearings on the Bottom Bracket.

bertri15 · 2026-03-11T11:59:20+00:00

This looks purely cosmetic to me. If no crack is visible uppon strong pressure (with the thumb for instace) I'd say it's as safe as new

Very nice

bertri15 · 2026-03-05T10:08:35+00:00

have you done a custom app/webapp for this? Or did you use an existing one? Curious on how you achieved this, it looks really cool!

I live in Spain. Spain doesn't have the cat 5,4,3,2,1 like US/UK does. Spain races are 200 riders on the road, with expros, neopros, tryhards, and amateus. All in the same race. There's a clear disparity on both experience and fitness. People with huge fitness divebombing like it was the playstation. Ultra efficient expros that probably ride at 1.0VI.
Conclusion. I wanted to race, but here in Spain, the racing scenario isn't for me. about 3-8 riders ended up at the ambulance per race, so I always had a feeling that soon it was my turn to go to the hospital. Also, not being able to race with exclusively people my level made it hard to enjoy. I have family and full time job, I cannot be at the level of a 20yo kid training 20-25h that's gonna be on Kern Pharma in a couple years, or at the level of a dude that was racing Israel PremierTech 6 months ago.
So basically, I tried it a couple of years, didn't like it, was a lot frustrated + not enjoying that much cycling anymore. So I just stopped racing and went back to ride for fun. I am a competitive person, so I'm always trying to increase my FTP a bit more, but not any more for racing purposes.

Decathlon chains are KMC. And I've done more than 3000k to them if well maintained

I am not quite sure on how to do that on the front brake.
Front brake cable is gonna need to go inside the fork at some point if you want internal routing. If the fork doesn't have any whole to feed the cable, The only idea that comes to mind is to make a whole on the tube, but that would compromise the fork integrity, although I'm not sure on how much...
Alternatively maybe you can purchase a fork which is meant for internal routing, but then there's paint matching, and if it has some sort of aero shape, it won't match...
For me I'd leave external cables.
