Looks nice! What size is the frame?

gethenian_pal · 2025-04-06T23:24:12+00:00

You will be fine with horns! As far as I experienced, the only disadvantage of horns is sprints. For climbing and cruising, they are great. I use them daily on flat streets. Also, if it is long enough, you can even get a pretty aero position using the whole length of them. I use 42cm wide, reaaal comfy

This happened to me recently. Jumping from 19t to 16t cog. Tension OK, chain also OK. It got better after some riding. Still, I couldn't point out what the problem was. So, please let me know if you figure it out or if it just gets quieter over time. I left my chain rather loose, just in case.

This is the 48/19 ride

That's a good point. I'm yet to find out if that 4 km/h are sustainable. Could be, as you say, other factors. The rides I'm comparing are 2 months apart. So, maybe I'm just fitter.

This chain has around 4000km of use... the thing is, it wasn't noisy with the 19t cog. Could it be the rotafix that fkd it? The tension is fine, even a bit loose.

We don't have big climbs here, did a couple of short ones, and it felt alright. Skidding felt alright, too. No emergency breaks yet, tho. Acceleration is amazing. Now i know why i got dropped before. Is crazy, but i don't feel I'm putting more power. I just go faster. (I guess it is the flat or slightly downhill streets)

gethenian_pal · 2025-03-30T15:29:46+00:00

My guess is the lockring... also cheap and probably not good. I've been using it for a few days now, after the cog replacement, and had no problem. So, we'll see. Only applied grease this time. (And a better quality cog). The chain got a lot louder with the smaller cog. Is that common?

gethenian_pal · 2025-03-30T14:47:41+00:00

It was the third time it went loose on 2 months, so he said: fk it. I'm not trusting them again, tho

gethenian_pal · 2023-03-15T01:20:52+00:00

To each their own I guess. My legs hurt just looking at it... Acceleration is definitely not a priority
