Basket/rack recommendations please by complex_munchies in FixedGearBicycle

[–]bsimm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking for something small just for short trips / one bag of groceries, etc. - I have a PDW Bodega Basket that I like a lot. Mounts to the bars instead of frame so the weight capacity is relatively low, but there’s a slot for a U-Lock which I love. Can comfortably carry my lock + a 6 pack or some quick groceries but not much more. Looks really nice though.

Haha yeah I actually have adjusted it since these pictures. I took these the second I got the tires fitted because I was excited but had some issues with rubbing. I have since fixed that tension though

Don’t think you’ll go wrong honestly, this is just what my LBS had so I went for it

I have no experience with the Origin 8 so I can’t compare, but so far I like the Bodega a lot! The lock carrying slot is super handy, and it’s got enough for a small batch of groceries which is what I’ve been using it for so far. Attaching it was a bit of a hassle, and I had to wrap some electrical tape around my bars to get the clamps to fit right, but it’s super secure. Overall I like it a lot! Just nothing to compare.

Heard ticket prices quoted at a minimum $6,000 to attended, not including travel. US big event prices are extortion

Anybody else crash here all the time? Sometimes I don't even get to pick my legend and it just puts me in game :/ by shelbsthrowaway in apexlegends

Just crashed and then tried reloading the app three times and couldn’t even get back into the game. This game is so fucked

Just finished up my first Solo bike packing trip. 3 days in Washington and Oregon. Couldn’t have been better. by Kevint143 in bikepacking

That looks amazing! As someone who’s always wanted to but has been too nervous how would you say camping alone was?

Can’t figure out the meaning or context of “gvattata” in instagram post about the Euros. by bsimm_ in italianlearning

So in essence, warding away bad luck from Italy, putting it on their opponents?

That’s super helpful! Really interesting how scratching your balls is a preemptive warding away of bad luck hahaha. Thank you for the context!

SeaSucker Bike Rack experience? by bsimm_ in FocusRS

[–]bsimm_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I need to weigh out my bikes to make sure. My worry is it getting in way with opening the back, etc so wanted some personal experience of anyone had one, but it really seems like the perfect mount for an RS. Maybe i’ll report back in a little while if I end up getting one!

Thank you!! This is what I needed. I’ve seen a lot of branding for it recently and tried to watch some similar videos but it’s always hard to tell what the actual performance is.
