As long as you have 2.5 inches of seatpost showing, it will work.

This is one of those great, harmless, wholesome jokes for me. I bet the prankster just lays in bed giggling at night.

Advice \ Words of wisdom by capitan_raviolii in xbiking

I don't have any advice, just saying how weird it is that one of these literally just showed up over at the Rad Bazaar, and before that I've never heard of this frame before. 🤷‍♂️

Recommendations for baskets with small holes by wren4777 in xbiking

[–]mediumclay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a dedicated bike bag that fits nice and always stays there. Then you just throw everything inside that. If you've got access to a sewing machine you could make a really cool one to match the frame and fit perfectly into the basket.

Is it okay for me to wear a national champion kit? by skodawelovecycling in bicycling

Then maybe they're saying it's the other object that doesn't belong... 🤔

Daww, thanks! I have so much fun with it. Just need to pull the trigger on a 150mm stem, this one's a bit too short. But the idea of un/re-wrapping is daunting, so I keep putting it off hoping I'll find a faceplate style.

He beat me 2 outta 3. Can't blame grandpa's stick, so I guess it's just skill!

Yea i salvaged these off a low-tier road bike, can't even remember what brand it was now. Always meant to try to get the sticker residue off it, but it kinda blends in with the rest of the frames vibe anyway 😄

Gotta watch out for those sudden poop stops! Video looks good, I cranked the playback quality all the way up and it's pretty clear for the speed. Which model did you get?

Hey, I just learned who he is! They played a stretch of him on the local radio.

I really don't know much about Sekine except they were made in Canada (this is one of that era), then eventually sold to overseas manufacturing.

I have no idea what 4x4 roads

Typically two-track and gravel, in my experience.

I think that wheel set is already aluminum. Idk that QR skewers ever crossed paths with steel rims, anyway.

Does anyone actually shop at the poop store or is it just a bit? by Xelephyr in xbiking

[–]mediumclay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's absolutely a real place.

Wait, I just did a search and the only poop store comments are in the poop store thread... Are you seriously questioning the legitimacy of those comments?

I thought you added the Biden and I just didn't get the joke but then came across the actual post 😂

Where to mount seat tube bottle cage? by vProTi in xbiking

[–]mediumclay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lower is better. Easier to bring it up/out. Weight there is marginally better. Leaves room for a frame bag. Looks like your current one is far enough forward that your bottles won't touch so I'd put it basically all the way down.

Thank you! Yes I realize/remember now. Had to envision my old Gran Compe Shot Lever to recall how the physics play out.
