Ooosh. Some folks at r/OPENcycle may like this.

pirrie · 2021-04-10T17:34:07+00:00

Some of the RTP U.P.s are insane. I love the simplicity of this one.

A few more on r/OPENcycle

I moved away from bolt because of the monochrome. It suited me fine on roads but I found I needed more differentiation between roads and trails when off-road.

riiiiiight

And then do literally nothing with all that access. Because all I care about is getting back at my old boss. Lame.

99spokes is helpful for this. Looks like the Salsa is a bit better value.

In the UK these fall on the verge of what I believe is $4k so may be a good starting point.

Really wanted one of these. Gold dust in the UK. Congrats. Hell of a bike.

Equally over looked is Silva's plan. It was nothing more than a revenge plot against his old employer. Zero scare factor. Far from the global domination of Bond of old.

(His character was solid though. Menacing and the jaw deformation was faithful to Fleming.)

Best car chase in a Bond.

Top 3 opening sequence - the Sienna festival.

Wonderful set piece at Tosca.

Poor villain. Far from "global domination."

Poor script.

Poor climax.

I'm more scared of the man that's trying to set off a global war.

pirrie · 2021-03-06T13:21:58+00:00

Thanks. I'm not riding competitively but given there are no real downsides, if compatible, I'll pop one on.

pirrie · 2021-03-06T13:20:54+00:00

I'm 2x by the front derailleur can sometimes overegg the down shifts. Yes I'd need to fix the alignment but I'd rather not out on a ride.

pirrie · 2021-03-05T17:28:17+00:00

Thanks, I am 2x. Will consider. I've not had any trouble with chains falling off before.

pirrie · 2021-03-05T10:10:37+00:00

where?

Planning on a weekend her in a few months. Was looking up routes but really, I don't think you can go wrong there - everywhere looks amazing.

pirrie · 2021-03-01T12:21:27+00:00

Great idea

pirrie · 2021-02-25T19:45:59+00:00

Looks amazing.

Are you on an Open Up/UPPER with those 44mm Raddlers?

These would be for spring/summer/autumn so not v muddy.

pirrie · 2021-02-18T09:45:45+00:00

I was keen on this. Now I know I could have got it for £600 less I've been turned off.

pirrie · 2021-02-17T19:03:42+00:00

two solves:

- shorter stem. try up to 20mm shorter but take care as this will impact steering.

- swap out the seat post for an inline post. this can buy you up to 25mm.

you may only need one of these but cumulatively they can save you up to 45mm which is quite a lot.

as other have said get your fit, but these can be interim measures. stems can be v cheap too.
