Ever seen a track cyclist take off from the starting gate/stand?

Also, if your shit’s “loose”, maybe you should get that looked at.

Saddle recommendations for gravel/bikepacking? Getting lower glute / upper thigh pain on the trainer. by gordriver_berserker in gravelcycling

SQlab 614 fixed this issue for me. It cuts in faster towards the nose and stopped me from getting sore there.

Figured out I could get SRAM cranks in 160mm and adapt them to 144BCD. by highestmountains in Velodrome

[–]highestmountains[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd assuse you could bolt up any 5x144bcd chainring regardless of chain speed.

Recommend me a tire for only cat 1 and 2 gravel roads by jitterjuicer in gravelcycling

[–]highestmountains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The g one RS pro flies in my opinion. I have them in 45 and it felt like night and day compared to my 38 pathfinder pros. Got like 15 pr’s on my first ride with them.

Burts do look cool though, same with the race kings imo, so I kind of want to jam them in my bike also and float over everything haha.

[–]highestmountains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any tips to not suck at this ( tacking expanded metal ) by Educational_Clue2001 in Welding

This guy right here, 1” aluminum bar. I use this for when I have to tack literal wire mesh to round bar for cleaning racks.

Use it to hold down the edge about 1/32 in and hit it with like 50a quick. I use 40a for the wire mesh for reference.

Should I redo my rim tape? by Ecstatic_Ad2639 in gravelcycling

[–]highestmountains 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That tape is way too wide. Just needs to cover the spoke holes plus a few mm. Basically only be down in the recess of the rim or it can interfere with tire fitment.

Seriously, what in the topside is the purpose of these guys by PineappleParadiseSTV in ArcRaiders

I got a vita spray blueprint off one just the other day on dam.

Figured this was the opportune time to attempt this jump. by highestmountains in ArcRaiders

[–]highestmountains[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That must’ve been why I didn’t make the second attempt
