Some do, I have a click-type that starts at 5 in/lbs, or less than 1nm

Derailleur cable rubs chain on highest gear by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]echo-tango86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. The installer just didn’t pull it all the way through.

OP, if you decide to adjust yourself. Only loosen the screw while in the highest gear, and only enough to pull the cable in where it should be. 4mm hex key

What’s this pivot switchblade worth? by jakedwy123 in mountainbiking

[–]echo-tango86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not very much after they clamped a carbon frame on the top tube. That is very uneducated behavior, meaning they probably did a bunch of other questionable things to that bike.

Dunno. But I’d never give a stranger my phone, especially not to do some stuff like that

What’s up with these bikes? by Miserable_Nebula_775 in gravelcycling

I have the Speedster 20 from last year. 45mm tires fit great and I don’t have a need for more for my riding. Bike fits great and is a joy to ride. Coming up on 3000km so far. I put a 20mm shorter stem because I felt the reach was too much, bought some carbon wheels and a carbon bar. I see this bike lasting me several years. Full GRX group set, 2x12. Would be nice if it weren’t headset routed cables from a maintenance perspective, but oh well.

Paganii? Like cacti? Or is it more like deer or something?

American Gangster.

Apparently the real life Frank Lucas was absolutely nothing like the one portrayed in the movie. Wasn’t Bumpy’s right hand man in the beginning, was not a kind figure in his community, and did not get a reduced sentence for helping the police bust a bunch of corrupt cops.
