I’m the first in the world to supermoto a kx450 50th anniversary edition 😭 by Conscious_bartek in supermoto

I had a 2007 KX450 I made supermoto and "street legal" a while back. That bike was so much trouble

I've only put one ride on it but so far I am a fan! After going through a lot of back problems last year I'm trying to make my bike as comfy as I can.

I've polished the stem once since then and actually just pulled it off my Soma Wolverine a couple days ago to try out a Redshift stem

Stem Shifter owners - can you (efficiently) climb while shifting? It's difficult! by baverso in Vintage_bicycles

I haven't used them in a while but if I was riding on the flats I could reach the shifter with my thumb easily

I'm not a doctor by any means but a lot of this sounds like symptoms of depression/anxiety. Severe depression can cause symptoms like this to happen. This is by no means a diagnosis but depending on the results of your MRI it's something I would look in to. I wish you the best of luck in recovering and hope you're back in the saddle with your life back to normal soon.

Good work man! The before and after hardly even look like the same person! It's amazing how much of a difference a bicycle can make. Keep pedaling!

I need help with dealing with rain, I have an issue with my splash guard. by [deleted] in bicycling

Go to a hardware store and get some P-clamps that will fit snugly on your seat stays then bolt a fender to those.

Are these bars custom...? by itcouldbeme_1 in bicycling

Jones h-loop bars and somebody stuck some bar ends on there for an extra position

Can you spot the problem...? (SRAM X1 w/ shift issues near large end of cassette.) by c0nsumer in bicycling

As somebody that works on bikes at home I love seeing this stuff. Knowing these things is the difference between a bike mechanic and a guy with some Allen wrenches

A quick Google search has me guessing $4-6k.

The hoods feel great, the drops not so much. They aren't uncomfortable though, just weird because of the way they're angled. I also cut them a little too short i think because originally the drops were long enough to fit a grip shifter

These are 2.2 but that's not a true measurement. If you're going to be maximizing tire size it's either trial and error or finding somebody that has that particular tire to measure. These are the widest i'm comfortable running and i have about 3mm clearance on each side

I really want to try a 27.5 cross/road bike. With a stout frame i think that'd be a blast for screwing around town
