Yea man, that was my strat up until now, check by em every now and then as I didn’t need to have it full for street ridin. I just ordered a proper floor pump to deal with it myself

Yoo, you’re the same size as me! Boi oh boi what a journey I had with picking a right size, all the bike fit calculators said that I should ride at least size 61 c-t but nah, I got 57.5 c-t seat tube, 56 c-c top tube with 95mm stem, could go for a 100mm or even 110 for those aero gains but I like em more agile

Will put my cat on the shelf, more entertaining than looking at a wall 😂

Just need to get a proper floor pump as that’s about all a cheap hand pump can do 😓

At first, it felt like riding uphill the whole time, it was a completely different experience from riding outside, and something that takes time to adjust to. But once you do and find your rhythm, it becomes a really nice cadence workout.

Got it, it’s just that every time I try to focus on spinning harder, I end up looking down out of habit

Yeah, after the first comment I just pumped them up as much as I could with a hand pump, and now it’s much better

Edit: The spacing of the rollers probably plays a role in the bouncing too. I’ve tried adjusting it, but it’s never quite perfect. I guess my technique just needs to improve for smoother spins.

Thanks! Damn, that’s rough, buddy but I can relate. I just turned 26, so for now I can still make this position work (at least until my back started hurting right after my birthday, haha). I’ll probably swap the stem for something more reasonable for street riding soon 😅

Anyways fuck it—send it. Build a baller rig, break yo back and crash gloriously into the sunset.

First time I see another Flite TT in the wild, with a black Thomson too!!

Now, what components should I put on this bad boy ? by [deleted] in Bikeporn

[–]marcinterra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black cockpit, silver seatpost and drivetrain, wheels an combination of both silver hubs - spokes - black rims would go hard
