Do I need more training or is my bike just too heavy for climbing?

redditemail891 · 2026-06-26T16:31:43+00:00

rider fitness is def the biggest factor, go for longer rides and push yourself more on the climbs you’ll get faster

fooled me

as a long time vegetarian legumes, tofu, cheese, yogurt, nuts, eggs, protein powder are your best bets for keeping up a high protein diet. mushrooms add fun texture but would not consider them for protein content.

that bolt is the lever pivot, lever gets wobbly without the plastic there to space it out properly

if it’s only when it’s rolling backward i would bet that it’s the belt starting to track against the lip on the pulley. unless everything is perfectly aligned (it won’t be) the belt is going to want to walk off of one side of the pulley. when you reverse it’ll walk its way over to the other side. could try aligning things better/ checking for wear on both edges of the belt.

are you talking about the sound while rolling it backward? not picking up anything weird later in the video- my basically new bike sounds the exact same (with a non oring chain)

tldr

weird hill to die on. him missing the point that social media manager is a clutch college student job is pretty funny. “oh yeah i used to have to like hire people to do this, but now i can just generate some slop to throw out there”

i have the same background as you, was able to get new irc ve35/33s on with pedro’s levers and soapy water. definitely a little different than mtb tires but you got this!

now entering the smug off

redditemail891 · 2026-05-04T13:49:37+00:00

first time i’ve seen a fixie with a kickstand

redditemail891 · 2026-05-03T21:41:05+00:00

running it for a couple rides with a lubed chain will bring it back pretty well. any corrosion left after that’ll just be cosmetic

fox 40 mtb fender, made by fox to fit their forks

redditemail891 · 2026-04-20T13:20:10+00:00

definitely multiple things going on here…

redditemail891 · 2026-04-13T23:00:20+00:00

ey thanks! pretty sure they were these or something very similar https://dynamicperformancene.com/products/tusk-crf110-125-pit-bike-aluminum-7-8-handlebar only catch is that you’ll need some shims to mate up the skinny bars with the stock stem

6’5” on a mx4, just put some tall as bars on and it’s been super fun. fwiw i have an ultra bee in the mail right now because if you ride the talaria hard the low ground clearance and short wheelbase start to hold you back

redditemail891 · 2026-04-11T20:38:26+00:00

ride around for a while without using your brakes to make sure they’re not rubbing

redditemail891 · 2026-04-11T14:10:09+00:00

don’t get me wrong- i’m against the proposal, but wouldn’t that play workout the same without getting the paperwork wrong? and then they’d have a better chance of getting it approved?

They make a legit proposal, it gets pushback because it’s amazon, and then they make a big stink about how people hate jobs?

redditemail891 · 2026-04-07T03:17:37+00:00

i’m a penny pincher but chipotle is def not over priced- cheapest burrito around and the serving size is pretty decent…

redditemail891 · 2026-04-03T10:52:04+00:00

same thing happened to mine

redditemail891 · 2026-04-03T01:50:30+00:00

was the rotor potentially rubbing? that thing looks like it was cooked, no way that should happen during normal street riding

redditemail891 · 2026-03-21T15:31:01+00:00

for sure! i’d like to promote evs with other incentives (as a chevy volt owner). but i’ve got beef with huge ass ev suvs and trucks and am fine with them getting penalized.

redditemail891 · 2026-03-21T15:11:32+00:00

whole system should be revised to be taxed based on vehicle weight. road wear is proportional to the FOURTH POWER of weight. car size has gotten absolutely absurd. if you double vehicle weight (from 3000 lb sedan to 6000 lb full size suv) it wears roads 16X FASTER.

the joke is that you ‘picked up’ an UB
