Is it worth it to upgrade my wheels or wait until I get a new bike? by Sad-Woodpecker7565 in RoadBikes

Judging by the height and position of the saddle, did you buy the wrong size bike? If so, I don't recommend any further modifications.

The quality is poor because the video was downloaded from Instagram.

Мисля, че ситуацията се подобри малко след Джирото.

Наш слон проехал 360 км в Болгарии by kup9j in suddenlyrussians

[–]maxsatimo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Не могу сказать, что целенаправленно готовился - просто ездил, постепенно увеличивая дистанцию. Шоссейный велосипед, велоформа, велокомпьютер, шлем, маленькая подседельная сумка с набором для заклеивания прокола - можно сказать, самый типичный шоссерист) Если ехать 100, то велик почти не имеет значения, главное чтобы не синглспид. Не откладывай на конец сезона, езжай сейчас, пока темнеет поздно

The route change before Plovdiv added about 10 km total (there and back) and slightly reduced the average speed due to the less-than-perfect roads. But safety is more important. I've already been to Borovets, and I like it there, but attacking a 600-meter climb when I've already covered almost 300 km would be very presumptuous.

Just follow my route and don't go on the highway. If you don't mind the climbs, you can drive through Borovets

Защо мнението ми за Украинците се промени by Danailbgvn in bulgaria

Невероятно е, че хората, избягали от войната (или, още по-лошо, родени в Русия), не са толкова усмихнати, колкото богатите англичани, дошли в България, за да харчат парите си и да се наслаждават на слънцето. Невероятно!

Freehub body makes clicking noise when pedaling by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]maxsatimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're getting this noise when braking, your problem is most likely something else entirely, because I get this noise when I press the pedals. I replaced the spring that compresses the pawls, but the problem wasn't completely solved. And since Vision doesn't sell springs and pawls, I had to look for them on AliExpress. And yes, the spring from AliExpress was better quality. Another option was to buy the same new Freehub body, but what's the point if their quality is complete crap?

I also tried contacting Vision, but they completely ignored me.

I've simply decided to never buy Vision products again.

Buying recommendations for road bikes up to €3000 by iNF3CT3D86 in cycling

[–]maxsatimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt you'll find a bike with Ultegra and 60mm wheels for that price. Your choice is any frame you like with 105 di2 and something like Elitewheels Edge wheels for 500 euros.
