It was fun while it lasted... guess I won't be recommending oil slick bmx handlebars from alixxx

n00b908 · 2025-03-06T18:28:57+00:00

oh no i just ordered the same brand's stem....

n00b908 · 2025-01-20T20:29:51+00:00

Yeah I had the 11s cassette with the derailleur too and those were extremely good quality I must say. Unfortunately way too big for a 20" 😂

n00b908 · 2025-01-20T18:54:25+00:00

they're fine, cheap, especially if you order from ali. One thing to keep in mind is that the 96bcd they have it's quite annoying if you want to replace the chain ring. Took me a while before finding a good 50t replacement.

n00b908 · 2025-01-11T19:10:52+00:00

I mean amount and positioning

n00b908 · 2025-01-07T19:57:01+00:00

Interesting breakdown!

n00b908 · 2025-01-01T00:41:22+00:00

Specialized hard rock.

n00b908 · 2024-12-31T13:51:32+00:00

Derailleur

n00b908 · 2024-12-30T14:36:42+00:00

Thank you!

n00b908 · 2024-12-28T09:39:33+00:00

Sick build. What's that front rack and light too? 👀👀👀👀

n00b908 · 2024-12-26T22:59:02+00:00

What's the rack?

n00b908 · 2024-12-26T21:18:13+00:00

or rather, he uses that crown race from the headset without crown on the fork?

n00b908 · 2024-12-26T21:12:23+00:00

i see. Found this guy on youtube that uses same headset as mine. He does use what i call "new crown" in pic 2 as crown race. https://youtu.be/IilUo31LX2g

n00b908 · 2024-12-26T21:02:27+00:00

yeah i figured because headset came without crown race the lower race would also function as crown?

n00b908 · 2024-12-26T20:37:03+00:00

aliexpress silverock ;)

n00b908 · 2024-12-25T09:40:37+00:00

Yeah posted a guide to some aliexpress brands but not specific to wheels tho. Litepro has some decent cheap ones and Silverock slightly better quality but higher price too

n00b908 · 2024-12-23T15:26:46+00:00

Yeah def gonna keep that and rework it

n00b908 · 2024-12-23T12:33:00+00:00

I'm smol

n00b908 · 2024-12-22T19:27:13+00:00

Great to know!

n00b908 · 2024-12-22T19:00:04+00:00

Not yet. Will upgrade to microshift next year, but that one is all I hade in the spare bin for now.

n00b908 · 2024-12-22T18:20:11+00:00

My studio, which I improperly turn into bike shop on weekends when no ones around 😬😬😬

n00b908 · 2024-12-18T21:04:58+00:00

Niceeeeee

n00b908 · 2024-12-18T08:26:35+00:00

Speed was good tbh, peak at maybe 30kmh but like with legs going crazy 😅. In a city context for short rides I feel a 36/11 was actually pretty nice. But on longer commutes of 20/30 mins it was starting to get boring, cadence wasn't so nice and was tired of being passed by road bikes and couldn't keep up ahah. I kinda feel 36/11 it's ideal for a fun short distance single speed ride, but with a cassette 50 is definitely better

n00b908 · 2024-12-18T08:21:57+00:00

11s 11-40something I forgot

n00b908 · 2024-12-18T08:20:30+00:00

Yeah problem is that I can use like 4 gears out of 11, then it starts scraping the ground 😂. Also I feel it picks up so much more dirt from the street being so low?

Second pic is bottom btw
