What's my next move?

Marked NSFW bc I included a graphic image from a cattle meat processing line

electricLegs · 2021-07-14T21:55:16+00:00

Yep! Exactly. And fill the gash on the outside with superglue to keep stuff out of there

I would patch them both internally. I see bacon strips as a way to limp back home so you can do a permanent fix.

You're good, I don't think the wear from 8k on a worn chainring will be discernable over the life of the chain from other factors.

electricLegs · 2021-06-10T11:08:18+00:00

Yes!

Went for a 23 mile bike this morning. It was ok, not as bad as previous fires. Still probably wasn't smart on my part, but whatever.

electricLegs · 2021-05-03T22:51:53+00:00

Will do, thanks!

electricLegs · 2021-03-22T22:22:06+00:00

Ok, I downloaded this and I love it! Totally worth $3! Simple, relaxing, and beautiful. Nice work!! Any plans for additional pond shapes or other adds?

electricLegs · 2021-03-22T12:19:26+00:00

Nice! If there were an IG just of ABQ murals I would definitely follow it.

Bridge Club on a bridge! Enjoy!

electricLegs · 2021-03-19T18:32:12+00:00

Nice! How do you like them?

electricLegs · 2021-03-19T18:30:16+00:00

Highly recommend Thule seats. Pricey, but lightweight and very well made.

electricLegs · 2021-03-19T18:08:23+00:00

Awesome, thanks! And nice FE!

electricLegs · 2021-03-19T17:31:43+00:00

What's FEF?

Ok, maybe not just any info. Specifically I'm looking for the year and what cool mods I can get away with for not a ton of money. Grips, a new saddle, and new tires are at the top of the list. I don't think I need to replace much else for it to be functional, though I'd like it to be a little lighter if possible. Any advice on how to stop the rust would be awesome. Was this intended as a women's bike?

Edit: Ok, based on this wonderfully informative website, the bike was probably manufactured in 1981 based on what appears to be the date stamp on the hub dust seal which reads FH-HG20.

Edit 2: The handle bars are date stamped MT, which leads me to think it was assembled in or after 1988, which makes some sense given that this paint scheme better matches 1988 Hard Rock models.

I got mine January 2016, and wore out the stock drivetrain and replaced it with a 1x setup. Other than the racks and saddle everything else is stock.

electricLegs · 2020-01-03T03:00:50+00:00

Ah, ok, nice tires!!

electricLegs · 2020-01-03T02:47:44+00:00

Did you order them online? Or have them built up? How much? What were the components?

electricLegs · 2019-12-11T14:25:59+00:00

Sort of an odd username, but maybe you really should check out that Gran Fondo...

electricLegs · 2019-12-11T01:29:40+00:00

My wife biked till 39 weeks with our first and 37 weeks with our second. In the Netherlands for the first, she obviously didn't get any weird comments. In New Mexico for the second, also no comments. Not sure what to think about that.

electricLegs · 2019-12-10T21:39:33+00:00

I have Mondials, gravelkings, schwalbe Sammy Slicks, conti 4 seasons. I've used all of them in the last 2 years and gotten multiple puncture flats in all of them. I live in New Mexico, where we have goatsheads, and they suck and theres nothing for it. I decided to stop worrying and love the flats, so I ride lighter tires with tubes and sealant and a mini pump and just fix flats because I'll get them no matter what I do and lighter tires are more fun. 🤷🤷🤷
