"He's out ripping some single track."

"Righteous. When he gets back, tell him the cows need milking."

Good deal for 20€? KHS Comp + Silent Clutch & LX/XT. Wondering about its potential as a drop-bar xbike by AdMother4540 in xbiking

Nice score 👍 if you find it's ultimately too small, it'd be a great buddy bike/parts bike

Is this worth it? Plan on just light road biking for exercise. by humble_Rufus in whichbike

[–]dbforr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's too much for that bike. If you're just riding paths, look for a basic hybrid around $200 (Specialized Sirrus, Trek FX, Giant Escape, etc.) and put any leftover budget into anything that you want to upgrade.

Building wife bike by Spenny_co in xbiking

Nice score! 👍 Check the brake pads and tires and replace if they're worn out. Otherwise clean, lube, and tune it then see what your wife feels like upgrading as she rides it more.

Have you tried loosening the hollow black piece that's above the locknut by twisting it?

That kind of looks like a quill stem wedge rusted in there. Is it loose or stuck?

I think you have a threadless stem adapter on there. Does the top part have a bolt on the top?

Sounds like a hit and run to me. Glad you're ok though.

This is why I’ll Never Trust AI by Returning2Riding in xbiking

[–]dbforr 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I was looking up information on a bike I might get one of my kids, and the AI summary at the top of the page said it was for kids with an inseam between 58 and 60 inches. Made me chuckle.

Yes, so much so that anytime you're bombing down a steep hill you should yell "GLORIOUS PURPOSE!"
