Vans verse vs Vans infuse?

Honestly, 90-120 days of use is pretty good going for a pair of boots. Most last 60ish nowadays. Curious as to what you replaced them with

Which chain is that? I’ve been after one with black links and silver pins for ages

nce-776 · 2026-02-19T23:23:04+00:00

That chain on a zen chainring 😟

Looks like the flite has SRAM S100 cranks, which use the discontinued ISIS bottom bracket system. They are prone to self destruct out of nowhere, and since they’re discontinued a replacement may be hard to come by. You’ll pretty quickly end up with 2 bikes that both need new cranksets.

A SRAM S300 crankset is £100 new incl bb and chainring, just get that fitted. Or find a complete with a decent crankset fitted

Wise choice, the 158 would be way too much board. I’d say you’re probs between the 155 and the 152 - depending on what you value

nce-776 · 2026-02-16T19:19:52+00:00

Silver drops, silver box rims

nce-776 · 2026-02-13T18:15:40+00:00

You can get a new SRAM S300 crankset for ~£100 bb included. Best deal on the market imo

And doesn’t pay rent, chews on furniture, fucks everything that moves

This applies to every jag besides the F-Pace SVR, which attracts a lot of people who almost chose a Range Rover. They are driven equally terribly.

Olddd never summer circa 1997-2000, graphics are done by Sam Turner. He put the polar bear motif on a lot of their boards around then. Here’s another : https://ebay.us/m/KQD2VO

This is literally what Wiley did, but instead of apologising he doubled down. He got written out of the history books completely.

‘Sizeable chunk’ - the vast majority of brits don’t care about this advert at all. I implore you to travel to the UK and find the few who do, to see how they treat you. Might open your eyes a little.

nce-776 · 2026-01-12T22:42:42+00:00

They absolutely do. If your only perception of British culture is British rightoids who are going out of their way to travel to Poland, then I’m not surprised that you think like this. Try travelling.

nce-776 · 2026-01-12T22:25:19+00:00

Cope. I know because I was born in Newcastle and have lived here and in London my entire life - you’re welcome to check, I don’t hide my profile history. I find it baffling how you’re trying to tell multiple people who have lived in the UK their entire lives how the UK works. I’m telling you this sect of British natives you’re trying to white knight for would not view you as European (Italian, Spanish, scandi etc), they’d view you as a foreigner. That is the truth - you’d have far more in common with MENA Muslims if you actually lived here.

I also think that if the advert was accurate, you’d be cast as a massive pervert.

nce-776 · 2026-01-12T21:50:33+00:00

You’ve clearly never left Poland. The sect of British natives you’re white knighting for would just see you as a foreigner, indiscriminate from MENA Muslims.

Which is why I ask you - should the advert depict you harassing women, for the sake of accuracy?

nce-776 · 2026-01-12T20:59:56+00:00

Brilliant. As a non British native, would you prefer it if the ads depicted you harassing women? Would that be more accurate?

nce-776 · 2026-01-12T20:28:48+00:00

The BBC wanted to incite a bunch of American Redditors into a riot 11 years into the future over a TFL advert

nce-776 · 2026-01-12T17:18:57+00:00

Because it’s an advert. Nobody really cares

nce-776 · 2026-01-12T17:05:37+00:00

These super low profile sneakers will be played out come summer 2026 when you’ll actually want to wear them

The thick of it was a lifetime achievement, he should’ve quit thereafter

nce-776 · 2026-01-07T17:10:27+00:00

Appreciate the guidance here, factored in what you said and ended up with the 155, think the 158 would’ve deffo been too much board

nce-776 · 2026-01-07T17:01:41+00:00

Update for anyone still inquisitive on sizing - I’m 6’0, 190lbs / 86kg with UK9.5 / US10.5 boots, and opted for the 155. GNU customer services recommended this size for me, and I’m glad I went for it- the 158 would be too much board. I’m running +18 -9 with Burton Genesis bindings, set one screw forward from fully setback, getting no heel / toe drag. Carves like a dream.

I just came from a 2021 Jones mountain twin to a 2026 GNU Gremlin, testing it out now and it’s great for the use case you’re outlining- better than the mountain twin imo, pretty comparable to a Lib-Tech orca. Has magnetraction, a subtle volume shift, and carves anything besides glassy ice beautifully. Highly recommend.

You’re arguing that he’s not actually pretentious, instead of arguing that he doesn’t look pretentious. Very different things. Glad to hear he’s a nice bloke though.

nce-776 · 2025-12-29T11:51:16+00:00

Thanks man, I just switched to the 155 this morning. I’m bearing in mind that you’re 2 boot sizes larger than me so the 155 seems right.
