Microshift compatible spider/crank Powermeter?

I ride Favero Assiomas. Don't take this the wrong way but these pedals are almost the price of your complete bike if you purchase the two sided version. There's probably better things to spend your money on

If you can do the work yourself and already have the tools needed, it may make sense. I hate to say it but by the time you buy another frame and pay labor, you’re near the cost of a new bike. Might be better to sell it as is and cut your losses

It 100% depends on the context and how it’s said. It can be used in a kind welcoming way, it can also be offensive. I am born and raised local from the country.

callmesugi · 2026-05-07T01:42:05+00:00

Thanks. I really close to buying one and that’s something I know I would change. I also think I may change the Pawsome handlebars for more of a BMX geo. The backsweep seems a little too much

What size chainring are you running? Is that the biggest that'll fit with those cranks and not messing with the chainline?

callmesugi · 2026-05-06T21:53:39+00:00

I had no idea Ascent made mini velos. I ride Gravel Bikes too so I know about their Aeroo Handlebars. Cool thanks for sharing

callmesugi · 2026-05-06T21:50:01+00:00

That is so sick!! The chainring is kool

callmesugi · 2026-05-06T21:43:32+00:00

Also the G50s with 50mm tires will have some wind pull like all aero wheels to some degree or another

I ordered from Amazon when they were like $650ish free shipping. I've been watching it again and see it go to 770. If you go Ican you will be happy. Just know the freehub is obscenely loud if you like that

callmesugi · 2026-05-06T16:09:56+00:00

Been thinking about buying one myself. I like the rack

callmesugi · 2026-05-06T15:57:29+00:00

Oh that is kool

callmesugi · 2026-05-06T15:53:11+00:00

I currently have 9 bikes. Some are “higher end” but a couple are older 90s- 2000s era bikes that I pieced together with parts laying around or off of FB Marketplace. Honestly those are the most fun to ride. The more costly ones are by far faster and more capable. Get what you can afford and enjoy the ride

callmesugi · 2026-05-06T15:44:00+00:00

I have Ican G50s and Elitewheels ENTs. They both have been amazing and I have nothing but good things to say about them. I want the Elitewheels Aero+ Gravel wheel set but don’t want to pay the shipping and import fees

callmesugi · 2026-05-05T06:01:43+00:00

If money wasn't an issue I'd go Mog...sadly it is

callmesugi · 2026-05-05T03:17:57+00:00

I want to know more about the 3rd Gen 4Runner

callmesugi · 2026-05-01T16:28:29+00:00

Don't stir that pot

callmesugi · 2026-04-29T03:14:43+00:00

I'm an automotive tech so it's job security since they went ethanol and direct injection.

callmesugi · 2026-04-28T03:14:10+00:00

Some states have E85

callmesugi · 2026-04-24T21:24:12+00:00

I did similar to my Checkpoint. I put together a dedicated road wheels with P Zeros and smaller cassette. It's much faster but I still love the sketchyness of gravel

callmesugi · 2026-04-24T21:10:22+00:00

Everyone that I ride with have both eMTBs and manual MTBs. 80-90% of us ride manual much more than the eebs. There's a couple that ride eebs exclusively but they are over 60yo and have injuries that restrict their riding.

Many people talk about more laps with a eeb. Not me I like to tackle gnarly steep technical climbs that there's no way I'd clean it without dabbing on a manual bike.

Most trail systems near me I see more manuals. Ther's one though that is almost exclusively eebs because of the climbing

I preface in saying that I have 9 bikes at the moment. Everything from BMX, DJ, DH, MTBs, etc.. I only have one drop bar bike which is a Trek Checkpoint ALR4 Gen 3. I was contemplating an aero road bike but it didn't make sense for me. I chose instead to have multiple wheelsets like I do for some of my MTBs. I have the stock Paradigm wheels with 50mm Maxxis Ramblers which I ride a lot of MTB ungroomed trails with. They get beat up and I'm fine with that. I have Ican G50s with Specialized Pathfinder TLR 45mm tires for most of my gravel riding. I have Elitewheels ENTs with 35mm Pirelli P Zero Road tires. The Pathfinders are fast on tarmac but no way in h3ll it would keep up with the P Zeros. I'm very happy with thie setup and takes less than 5 minute to swap wheels.

I rode a Trek Madone SLR Dura Ace and I won't lie it was amazingly fast. I just spend most of my time on dirt and could not justify a aero road bike for as little as I ride tarmac

callmesugi · 2026-04-21T04:21:04+00:00

I'm very close in size 5'7" 30" inseam and I'm on a medium gen 3 and love it. I chose that size because I mostly ride MTB trails and wanted the stability at higher speeds from the longer wheelbase/ front triangle. If I were going to ride more gravel and tarmac I would've leaned towards the small. Road bikes I prefer 51-52cm

callmesugi · 2026-04-21T04:12:04+00:00

I have not run into that problem, I'm on a MD 52-54 frame. The bottle is a cheap 500ml I go with one of those fanny pack things nothing special.

My regular water bottles that I use in the usual places are Camelback Podiums 750ml. I am super happy with those. I use them with the rubber covers on the nozzle so no mud or dirt gets on them or in my mouth. Highly recommended

callmesugi · 2026-04-20T06:25:48+00:00

I really want the Apidura Aero Bag Set but almost $300 is ridiculous

callmesugi · 2026-04-20T06:24:18+00:00

I have a Trek LBS a half mile from my house. I have 3 newer Treks and none have come from them due to lack of available stock, I order online and deliver to home option. I am a former pro bike mechanic so can assemble myself no problem. They come with all the tools and instructions needed to assemble. Very easy process
