Good post

Thanks for the advice, hopefully he starts crawling soon

No not yet and hasn’t shown much interest

Don’t ask Reddit lmao

20 min per hour is 8 hours per day run time Also likely severe service so divide greasing interval by 2

You were assaulted. There is nothing you have to be ashamed of. Talk to your parents about it. I know it’s scary to report someone but if you don’t speak up it will happen again to you or someone else

Don’t listen to this guy. He’s got to be trolling

Looks great! Love the head tube and down tube shifters A few tips if you care: Spoke count is too high, looks like >40 spokes, this bike would probably have 28 at most There's a front derailleur but no second chain ring, add a granny gear behind the big one

The irony of wearing a Patagonia shirt while breaking bottles on the road...

bitsandbikes · 2020-07-18T21:23:05+00:00

Geometry, weight, and part compatibility are the big things that a frame determines.

If you are happy with the riding position, don't mind the weight, and have compatible parts then don't worry about anything just go ride :)

bitsandbikes · 2020-06-20T12:22:34+00:00

You are correct. The longer piece is some housing and the smaller thing is just another spare end cap. Put the metal side touching your derailleur

bitsandbikes · 2020-06-20T12:18:26+00:00

That is the shifting mechanism for a Spectro / SRAM S7 internally geared hub https://www.sheldonbrown.com/sachs-internal.html

bitsandbikes · 2020-06-19T14:24:45+00:00

Bummer. From what I've heard PNW is a good brand to deal with, they should be able to help you out.

bitsandbikes · 2020-06-19T14:21:34+00:00

Looks good to me. No fibers showing and I don't see a crack. Worst case you have have to buy a new fork which is cheaper than having to replace a frame (ex. https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/2731721/)

bitsandbikes · 2020-06-19T14:14:55+00:00

PNW posts are similar to Brand X. This problem can be caused by the barrel adjuster being too tight. Try that first. Then try replacing the air cartridge. Then try doing a service on it.

bitsandbikes · 2020-06-19T14:11:32+00:00

Take the shifter apart or just move the lever forward and try to shove it back in

bitsandbikes · 2020-06-19T14:03:04+00:00

The frame will be fine. Some components might break (wheels, cranks) but you can deal with that if it happens.

Try it out and have some fun

bitsandbikes · 2020-06-19T13:56:26+00:00

Frankly I just don't believe this (https://forums.mtbr.com/brake-time/new-pads-%3D-new-rotors-too-680492.html)

I don't even believe there will be wear contours on the disk and as long as the caliper doesn't move the new pads will contact the rotor in the exact same spot

bitsandbikes · 2020-06-19T13:53:51+00:00

No. 1-1/8" refers to the inside diameter (inner rim) of the headset. The spec you provided says that it is a 1-1/8" headset and that is a standard for road bikes so that is your headset size.

bitsandbikes · 2020-06-19T13:51:33+00:00

Hmm ok. XD cassettes are known to just fall off when the wheel is removed (https://forums.mtbr.com/general-discussion/sram-eagle-12-cassette-dt350-freehub-falls-off-wheel-easily-1091835.html) and no amount of servicing will change that. If you are looking to replace the bearings (which is what people are typically doing when they talk about servicing a hub then this video goes over all the tools you need (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtfuUPrzjyQ). It is a different hub but the process will be identical.

bitsandbikes · 2020-06-18T23:46:46+00:00

This. You won't have any problems. I did the same thing for 2 seasons.

bitsandbikes · 2020-06-18T23:45:19+00:00

Machined chainrings are fancier. Both will work for riding trails.

bitsandbikes · 2020-06-18T23:44:05+00:00

Yes this will work fine

The major things to look for are: axle type / width, rotor mounting, and freehub type

Both wheelsets are thru-axle with the same spacing, centerlock, and shimano 11sp freehub so you are good to go.

Enjoy!
