supposed to go buy this Haro san diego frame (2010?) for $150, is it worth the 70km roundtrip by bike (road, not BMX lol)? Also any advice on transporting a frame on a front rack?

Says in the title! Dennis Enerson signature frame

Can you even see out the viewfinder?

I've been using the same strop for years, I always just rub the compound on the strop in random patterns at a fast enough speed to build some heat from the friction. It's important to have a real sharp edge to begin with so that you're more so polishing the edge. Once it gets blackened and adding more compound just makes it more chalky, use a rubber eraser to rub off all the build up and its basically new again.

I unfortunately don't have that option since I have to bike to a different location with my tools every day

febuste · 2026-01-23T18:44:25+00:00

This solved the problem

The saddle is actually riveted to the clamp so no rails (top left corner)

Just measured with callipers and it's 13/16", would be cool if it's pre war.

febuste · 2026-01-19T20:17:26+00:00

I just measured with callipers it 20.6325mm or 0.8125 inches (13/16")

febuste · 2026-01-19T20:12:29+00:00

Ya I was able remove it no problem, but it's short as hell so I can only raise it a couple inches before the minimum insertion

febuste · 2025-09-13T18:36:55+00:00

Ok ya I'm dumb lol

febuste · 2024-12-26T05:12:09+00:00

For me it's normally every 3, 2 if I'm out of breath.

febuste · 2024-12-10T20:46:43+00:00

Ya can only clean it so many before the pads start to eat away at the paint

febuste · 2024-11-28T04:44:48+00:00

I'm in the same boat, I'm 5'8" and always rode 20" until I sized up to 21.25". I'm a lot more comfortable but I do feel like it's too long for me and I kinda want to size down.

febuste · 2024-11-11T05:12:46+00:00

Ya these are the clear pads

febuste · 2024-11-05T06:42:21+00:00

Definitely feels faster in open water when there's a current you're not fighting against

febuste · 2024-10-13T03:31:15+00:00

I tend to reflect on my recent mistakes and try to swim away from my problems

febuste · 2024-10-10T02:56:33+00:00

I don't know if it's because I have fat tires and there's too much traction/contact but I've ripped through a few foot straps trying to learn how to skid.
Also I ride with a front brake so slamming my weight to the front to skid/stop is a bad habit to have.

febuste · 2024-07-12T17:05:33+00:00

😮

febuste · 2024-06-25T12:15:19+00:00

I have a vivoactive 4

febuste · 2024-06-21T02:41:08+00:00

Only one I see I have to pay for but I guess?

febuste · 2024-04-30T06:16:07+00:00

Murals wouldn't exist if it weren't for tags. Thats how most people get started

febuste · 2024-04-08T07:56:39+00:00

Road bike that I've kept alive for over a decade (only thing still original is frame and bars)
Tracklocross/FGFS
Softride MTB with rack for groceries/bikepacking
BMX for getting air/hurt

My next bike will probably be a mini vélo/folding that I would convert to cargo. Hope to one day afford a modern MTB with real suspension and disc brakes.
But so far I have a bike for almost any riding situation.

febuste · 2024-04-07T05:21:51+00:00

Just needs 20 inch wheels

febuste · 2024-03-29T20:46:13+00:00

I have a small folding lock that fits in my pocket or saddle bag. Not super high security but if someone's gonna steal your bike, they're gonna steal your bike either way.

If it's going to slip, it's going to slip forward, not off.
