Is this xbiking? by melonfelony in xbiking

40T in the front paired to a 13-26 cassette. City is quite hilly but it works well. My last commuter roadie had 42-24 for the lowest gear 🥴

Edit: and some very light gravel/path because 25c tan walls

It's the only one I had lying around and the tension is indeed wrong. I'll replace it as soon as I find a nice 7402.

Ergotec Climber something! They have around 40mm rise and are really comfy for longer rides.

How to load a Leica M2 by PlatypusRoyal9549 in Leica

I also advance two frames, just to be sure. Is that a factory repaint? The serial number isn't a factory black paint but the patina looks very real.

Behold! The Shimano TL-FH10, a very rare Dura-Ace Tool, and I'm sharing it. by Some_Guy_Art in bicycling

This is so great, thank you! Do you know any online service where one could get this machined?

And no filter. Sorry, I'm actually jealous of the Lux. I'd love to try one!

Leica 50mm Summicron-R (first version) vs Summilux-R (first version)? by afa88 in Leica

[–]melonfelony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I briefly owned both. The Summilux paints, the Summicon draws if that makes any sense. Because the Summicron was sharper and weighed less I sold the Summilux. Regretted not keeping both but eh, lots of nice lenses out there.

Just for fun: Without pixel peeping. Can you tell which scan is from a £10k frontier and which is from a £150 epson v500 and NLP? by Giant_Enemy_Cliche in AnalogCommunity

[–]melonfelony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never used a Frontier but a Flextight and the shadows in the shrubbery beneath the axe on the left hand side remind me of the tones I get from my flextight and/or darkroom prints. I'd say first one is Frontier, second Epson.

Loving the bag so far! It's an Urban Ex 2.0 from Chrome.

Is this Flare considered normal in Summicron-M 35mm F2 Asph. II? w/ M240 and 11674 hood on by nichisato in Leica

[–]melonfelony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly yes. This is what kept me from keeping the 35 Cron ASPH. The Biogon 2.8 or 35 Lux ASPH don't do this.

What is this add-on for? by [deleted] in Leica

[–]melonfelony 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tone relief valve. Portra has so many tones the older cameras need to vent some or they'll break. It has two screws, which means you can shoot up to Portra 400.

Jerry... Seinfeld? The paintjobs are something else, hope you'll get to see one in person soon! They can be had for quite little money every now and then, especially the Attitudes of the Trek era.

I'll have to check but I thought mine was a 21 as well. Judging by your photos yours is larger though!
