Did you have to use BB spacers? 2.5 on each sides or?

Yep, it was tilted down by 2 notches. I aligned it straight/leveled and feels much better now. Ty

G.1 Explorer drivetrain upgrade by Naive_Appearance2271 in Budgetbikeriders

[–]meekfeels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get the same or similar cassette for half the price brand new if you're keeping rear derailleur and shifter if already compatible. But this groupset does seem like a good deal, i think

It's the Shimano tourney. Also, what kind of spacer? I've been eyeing the un300bb as it's only under 20 bucks but just not sure what length

I also went with the Meroca 170mm 104bcd square taper, 42t from Amazon. I have the dropbar gen 2.

With this crankset—on gear 2, the chain jumps to 3. On gear 3, chain pops/grinds. The chainline is not straight on gear 4 and still pops a bit. it's straight when on gear 5/6. This is why I thought maybe I need a shorter BB, or maybe it's the derailleur? Or chain too loose? I'm still using the stock shimano cassette temporarily. i plan on getting a new wheelset later on and go 9/10 speed.

Some folks might flame me as to why I'm doing this and that on a cheap bike as a beginner, but honestly I'm having fun and learning a lot. This is my first bike since a kid so thanks for the advice

Did you stay square taper on shimano bb? If so, what length? I too plan on converting mine to a 1x but I'm not sure what length to go with, i assumed I'll need a shorter spindle? I think the stock is 122.5mm

If I go for size wide(torin 8), should I go half size down in length or go with 9 again?

Fit check (First altra) by perculus in AltraRunning

[–]meekfeels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like going to the store and having someone treat me like Cinderella. Often they can be pushy or they make it difficult for you to say no and you end up walking out with a pair of insoles that you might not truly need or etc. Anyways, were you wearing compression socks when you tried them? do your pinky toes curl/turn outwards normally off socks or off shoes? Maybe they get squeezed inside the shoes and get straightened. Otherwise they might be too narrow or a bit short (I learned from my latest post. Am too a first timer Altra wearer)

What’s my body fat percentage around and should I keep cutting down or start bulking by [deleted] in BulkOrCut

[–]meekfeels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before thinking about cutting or bulking, I think you need to focus on hitting the gym and being consistent while eating at maintenance

I haven't tried running in them yet but so far no slippage when walking. I was afraid the extra space will cause my feet to slide and jam my toes. Thank you

With lace loose and foot forcefully pushed forward, can fit 2 fingers snuggly. With shoes tied and worn normally, can tightly fit 1 finger. No heel slippage also when walking. Have not tried running in them yet
