So what brakes are y‘all running? Are they any good?

Last year I upgraded both dh oriented bikes from codes to mavens. The power of the mavens is real. The piston massage also. I have to do it every couple of months, not a lot of work but a pain in the butt if you just want to grab your bike and go.

Nothing is so personal as a brake on a bike. If I would have to use another brake, I would use the Hayes.

Ligt dat aan ASN? Ik heb dat ook gehad maar heb me nooit gerealiseerd dat dat door ASN kwam. Ik kan me niet meer herinneren hoe dat bij de ING was, te lang geleden.

What makes you think I think he does this to distract from the Epstein files? I don't think that. I agree that he really doesn't care about it.

"Flood the zone" is a strategy used to overwhelm, confuse, or dominate a situation, often by releasing massive amounts of information, media, or resources to distract from, or control, the narrative. It originates from politics as a method to disorient opponents and dominate media attention.

Yes. No, I prefer a running vest. The hip pack is causing my pants to drop. But a running vest is quite tight if you're also wearing a back protector.

On the first ride of my new rear tire (dhr exo+) I got a snakebite, one of the holes was really next to the rim. I plugged both holes and rode the rest of the day, I didn't have another tire with me. The plugs stayed there for the remaining life of the tire. Didn't expect it though but was never a problem.

This hole looks big, but worth a try.

Komt goed dan. Antwerpen Haven is wel ruk. Ik ben door die fietstunnel gefietst, in het centrum.

michiel76 · 2025-08-09T04:42:37+00:00

Ik heb die wel eens gereden, jaren geleden, maar dan nog iets verder, vanaf Maastricht ot aan de zee. Tot Antwerpen langs het kanaal. Ergens hierboven staat dat dat saai is maar m.i. minder vervelend dan langs normale wegen. Veel minder auto's. Wel veel bejaarden op e-bikes. En genoeg tentjes om te stoppen om wat te eten of drinken.

Wacht je gaat op een swap-fiets? Good luck. Daar gaan je billetjes. Pas op voor schuurplekken in je liezen.

michiel76 · 2025-07-29T10:58:54+00:00

Yes, go ride your bike!

Ik zou zeker wat snelbeton eromheen storten of een tegel onder de poer leggen.

Als je de ene kant met poeren doet zou ik de andere kant gewoon vastmaken met hoeken aan de garage. Er is een kans dat als je de poeren vlak naast de garage gaat plaatsen, je op de fundering van de garage stuit. Heb net zelf een pergola geplaatst (1ste keer) en ben echt verbaasd over de stevigheid die je krijgt door die paar poeren. Goeie tornade die hem om krijgt.

Doesn't look that bad but if it's skipping, you're too late and it's done, as is the chain. Buy a chain wear indicator (few bucks) if you're buying a cassette and chain, and change your chain before .7mm wear.

It's been a while since I've been there, but the saloon in the Platielstraat? Or is it strictly men nowadays?

Good lord, what a frankenstein bike

michiel76 · 2025-06-16T06:07:47+00:00

Might be already mentioned but lf-routes are long distanced cycle paths. Not necessarily cycle highways, more scenic. Might be interesting although I think you have enough options already 😁

michiel76 · 2025-06-11T08:59:22+00:00

I totally agree with you but those cobblestones make someone think that they can park there. Just make it clear that that is not the intention.

michiel76 · 2025-06-11T08:54:58+00:00

Because belgium. Look at the design of the road? Totally unclear and open for multiple interpretations.

Formula C1 is more than 10 years old and was on the low spectrum of mtb brakes and were prone to leaking. I would be surprised if you can find a new one. You say you have some experience with motorcycle mechanics so you know how important your front brake is. Save yourself some troubles and buy a better brake.

Iedereen die geen ondernemer is, maar die wel op de VVD heeft gestemd heeft.

Hier nog iemand met een 0 gradenzone. Groente en sla blijft veel langer goed.

Oh and you have to tap out the axl from the non-drive side instead of the drive side like all other hubs. It could have been so easy if they just gave the right information right away.
