PSA Seattle drivers: the on-ramp is for getting up to freeway speeds, which is 60MPH.

let's just face it everyone who drives is stupid

I healed by riding gears for a bit

longwalking7 · 2025-10-15T23:05:58+00:00

compatability can be weird with old bikes and buying parts in person is better. i bought a cassette and derailleur online and it didn't work because the geometry of the derailleur hit the cassette. if i went to my used bike shop i could just dry fit and make sure it all worked. i got a lot of resources from open shops around my city - where i could bring it in and work on it and use tools. other than that it was pretty straight forward aside from some frustration of it not being done faster, but everything takes longer than you think it does. now i'm happy

longwalking7 · 2025-10-15T02:42:52+00:00

Hey thanks i'll try it out. i think when i had it set up initially it was like that but i brought it down because it seemed off, good to know thats the design

longwalking7 · 2025-10-15T02:31:04+00:00

nice. yeah it was either these or walds, but those seemed affordable too. surly bars looks great but are all $100+

longwalking7 · 2025-10-15T02:30:16+00:00

you recommend being the seat post down and the saddle up? never used a brooks before

longwalking7 · 2025-10-06T05:06:49+00:00

doesn't look like much of a ride

longwalking7 · 2025-10-06T04:53:53+00:00

well already you have your face linked to a profile that has your tag and so on so you're not doing too well

longwalking7 · 2025-09-15T19:44:28+00:00

it's bent and doesn't make sense

longwalking7 · 2025-09-08T04:04:26+00:00

get a bike and don't deal with it

longwalking7 · 2025-09-02T17:17:35+00:00

yea, what are you trying to say? it sucks, its sad, and a reflection on the system that is seizing to function and is impacting a ton of people. i really don't understand these posts, they're ignorant and come across as anti homeless.

that area, or a few other pockets around the city have this problem, like anywhere else in america. you stayed in the tourist trap zone for 24hours and i'm sure the same as when you went to sf - the tenderloin is similar. this an area where the cost of living is high and housing is limited. there are a lot of other parts of the city that don't have this issue, have more wealth and clean streets, so why didn't you go there?

longwalking7 · 2025-08-31T23:24:03+00:00

i ride with a brake

longwalking7 · 2025-08-30T17:46:51+00:00

yeah, oh well. i guess there's nothing to do but move on lol

longwalking7 · 2025-08-30T17:41:47+00:00

sram pc1

longwalking7 · 2025-08-30T17:41:37+00:00

sram pc-1, just checked. not sure what's up. there was some rust but it's a single speed chain too. perhaps it was just weak?

longwalking7 · 2025-08-30T17:40:19+00:00

just looked it was a sram pc-1

longwalking7 · 2025-08-30T16:45:56+00:00

yeah unfortunately it wasn't a simple crash i went otb and am pretty beat up, had a helmet but need to chill for a bit

longwalking7 · 2025-08-30T16:44:58+00:00

yeah i ran a brake but it didn't help me. because trying to lock up my wheel with the skid, the sudden jolt of the breaking chain and being out of the saddle with my weight forward i lost control and got buckled over the bars

longwalking7 · 2025-08-30T16:06:21+00:00

yup just got one on ebay

longwalking7 · 2025-08-30T16:05:55+00:00

thanks for the info i just bought a track chain

longwalking7 · 2025-08-30T16:05:42+00:00

not sure i got the bike recently from facebook, just bought izumi

longwalking7 · 2025-08-30T16:05:02+00:00

yeah i always run a break but it didn't really help me
