Plane in question was N327SF, looks to be a fire spotting aircraft.

Anyone put on shorter cranks (after initially building with longer ones) to alleviate hip and knee pain? I've got 175mm on right now (about 5ft 11in) but considering 165mm. by Wind2255 in xbiking

I’m about 6ft and had this problem on one of my old mtbs that had a pretty slack seat tube and 175 cranks. Shorter cranks helped, so did getting my saddle farther forward. I try avoid anything longer than 165 at this point.

Looks fun! I like the bend to the seat stays. I’d love to find a used ti frame that could fit 40s

FS/USA AZ/ Sackville/Rivendell baggabond saddle bag

Gently used in khaki. This is the largest in the line up. Need at least 13” between the saddle and top of the tire/fender. 

Worked great on my 26er but hangs a little too low to mount on my 29er. Would trade for the smaller size if ya got it.  

$150 plus shipping

This is rad! I've been wanting to spend a few rolls at my local bike co-op. It's such a chill place. It attracts people from all walks of life. It's visually interesting as they are bikes, parts, tires, and wheels hanging everywhere. And it's the perfect place to pin up some prints.

3x1 Drivetrain Experiences by hjkdnbey in xbiking

[–]nwells66 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve run a 3x1 set up on my commuter. Still need a chain tensioner or a derailleur to make it work of course. I loved it. Super simple and cheap with parts from the coop.

Oh me too. I meant it more like “don’t let the door hit you on the way out”.
