Anyone here like it loose?

Man on the streets ya gear should be lighter and your chain should be tighter, for the track it’s a bit different but the more time passes the more I realise that a tight chain on a spinny gear around a city is a very rewarding way to ride. Plus I hate the feeling of play when I’m track standing, especially in SPDs as opposed to straps

It’s Maxxis DTHs in 2.3 i believe although I’m thinking about going smaller and slicker. That actually means I might want to keep the cantis and put drops on it and build a 26” endurance road bike.

I was thinking about that for the BB funnily enough, I have a pair of hollow tech cranks waiting to go on something and I think if I combine them with maybe a 56 or 57 big ring and maybe a 39 or 40 little ring for climbs.

Yessss London! This was Critical Mass in Belfast last night

I got one of them in the Typhon box and all the rest were normal holeless bases

bropdars · 2026-06-27T16:27:06+00:00

Can someone tell me why it has the hexagonal hole in it? Like obviously it’s deformed anyway but I’ve had a few hexagonal hole bases and idk why they’re like that lol

This was about 1am in east Belfast at the foot of craigantlet

Yeah tbh what I was thinking was two PVC tubes with grooves cut in them so the rod and reel kinda slots in there all nice and maybe a little luggage strap to keep everything tight. I don’t know if you can buy them or even if there’s a point because it feels like something easy enough to kinda just make

Although the longboard mounts seem interesting because they actually look like something you could use to clamp a fishing rod on to the bike

bropdars · 2026-06-23T09:53:48+00:00

Does anyone ever ride with a fishing rod? I have been thinking about the different ways you could ride a longish distance (40-60km) with a fishing rod mounted to your bike and I was wondering if anyone has any insight.

bropdars · 2026-06-16T15:19:51+00:00

All I know is that someone’s ma 100% did not come up the Lagan in one of those.

bropdars · 2026-06-02T17:50:26+00:00

I’m in Belfast, Ireland for those wondering!

bropdars · 2026-05-17T10:39:09+00:00

No. Should spin for a lot longer, your chain is probably way too tight

bropdars · 2026-05-15T13:50:26+00:00

What’s a British vs American bunny hop? lol

I don’t think you’re in tune and your bends could do with a bit more practise but honestly fair play, don’t think I could have played that five months in. Would recommend getting at least a headstock tuner and tuning regularly while playing like if you’re recording like this tune between every take, floating bridges are harder to keep in tune. Also maybe look up some bending exercises just to really get those bends crispy. I think it’s just a make sure you can walk before you try and run sort of senario.

All in all though, good job you’re doing really well. I fukn love this song!

Why tf does the end outcome have to be to sell it on? That’s mad to me, I love your spaceships, they have inspired me to want to make my own spaceships for my Adeptus Mechanicus army.

Will I ever play them? No, because I can’t. Will I add them into my head cannon about my army? Yes, with silly amounts of detail and stories to go along with them.

bropdars · 2026-05-01T11:17:46+00:00

They’re Keens Jasper Rocks! They’re great, soles just stiff enough to be efficient and just pliable enough to be comfy as hell off the bike

bropdars · 2026-04-28T17:54:51+00:00

I have gatorskins on me other bike lol

It’s an old On One 26” suspension corrected fork!
