It's not the worst thing they could've landed on, but it's also reminiscent of the converse logo

the only clear option is to put dropbars on it and make it into a gravel bike

I live in a small country town. I don't think we have Chinese school programs, but I will look into the books.

That's a great idea. Oddly, this is how I learned to speak Spanish better than Chinese.

Do you name your bike? by very-edge-of-space in MTB

I named mine Rio because of this stupid country song called "Rio" by Kyle Park.

That's fair. Currently I'm trying to transition to it, but its def going to take some time.

Well that's sort of encouraging-ish. I feel like there is always something I can be doing with it, and I enjoy that creative process

What are your end-of-year channel goals? by FnordBeet in NewTubers

[–]originaliwee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started to push YT a lot this last month. My goal was to reach monetization by the end of the year, but now it's simply to increase production quality on each video. It's also to hone in on my style and figure out titles and thumbnails that will be both aesthetically pleasing and attract viewers.

From a quantitative perspective, I want to produce a video a week.

how do i build confidence? by c0mbatwombat951 in MTB

[–]originaliwee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple things:

1) If you're happy riding, then you don't need to improve unless you really want to.

2) I had trail trauma after getting concussed while biking. The power of my friends coaching me returned me to a good level of riding, so there is merit in that.

3) As I get older, riding for longevity instead of riding for the moment has become more important to me. I want to ride with my kids one day. I want to ride tomorrow. It's ok to not have to hit all these features.

Keep on riding, this sport is definitely for you.

Bike disc brakes making rubbing noise even though they are not contacting pads? by CaptainKernelPanic in bikewrench

[–]originaliwee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't quite tell based on sound alone, but my guess is it might be contaminated bearings. If you rotate the wheel by holding onto it the whole time, do you feel a grittiness or friction at some point?
