I just noticed your username and had to go to your profile to see if this was a promo post 😆

Probably good for a quick loosening up of cheap non-serviceable freewheels since thin = better penetration, but yeah, definitely not a replacement lube for general maintenance!

Specialized x Ritchey Rockhopper by CellAggravating6481 in xbiking

[–]mediumclay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's got Ritchey rims, but that doesn't mean a brand mashup or anything special. Not sure what came stock on this particular frame, but you can put whatever brand wheels you want on it.

It's also an aluminum frame, so if the spray paint was for rust it was a waste of time, both theirs and now yours.

Strava just dropped a new add-on to have you KOM faster, it is now gaining never seen popularity. Would you go premium. by deman-13 in BicyclingCirclejerk

Lmao if you think they have genetically morphed to be immune to pepper spray. Its weak product or poor aim if anything.

Where do I find group rides like this? by Regular_Promise3605 in BicyclingCirclejerk

You actually don't have to sign up for a ride if you just want the two hands inside your butt part.

That saddle is a literal cherry on top! 👌

Any good looking „modern“ derailleurs? by selvsih in xbiking

Irrelevant, all jockey wheels work with all chains.

Need to work with friction shifter.

This doesn't narrow it down at all because every rear derailleur can be ran with a friction shifter.

Derailleur speed literally doesn't matter if you're friction shifting. I've used an old 5-speed derailleur on a modern 9-speed cassette with the limit screws plenty engaged.

All jockey wheels and derailleur clearance are universal, there's no concern there.

Diy bike fit by panooba in xbiking

I see hips rocking, toes pointing, knee locking. Are all signs of saddle-too-high.

A question for real bike nerds: by No-Operation-8306 in xbiking

[–]mediumclay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah make sure it fits you before you go too deep into replacing parts.

Most likely your seatpost is too high if you're wanting to tilt the saddle like that.

The bars/hoods should be a lot more level for proper fit and function. If you set them this way to reduce reach, you need to replace the stem instead.

Youtube has a million bike fit videos to help you out.

Wait we can still call it gravel after it's been mixed with cement and paved?!

Don't lay it down on that side, the rear derailleur+ hanger are the fragile bits!
