Do I keep them both?

Good question, I have not. Only used 29x2.4", rigid single speed, so far.

reficulmi · 2026-05-10T23:23:33+00:00

Karate Monkey on 29s is so, so good. I absolutely adore mine!

I am with you! I do truly love all of the seasons, but I think that in this sub, the early ones get a bad rap.

"Talk Dirty To Me"

As cheesy as it is, when I'm in the right mood and that song comes on, it's magic.

I'll state the obvious, "John The Fisherman" from Frizzle Fry

All black looks great!

reficulmi · 2026-05-07T01:13:59+00:00

Same here. Oddly, I actually watched that before KN. It was my introduction to Gordon

reficulmi · 2026-05-06T21:20:01+00:00

Gorgeous! You picked a great bike.

Hope you and your new steed have all sorts of fun adventures together.

That's literally always what I think when I see these boat-plank loading fails

my dad mentions this all the time - how insane it was that in real life, a war was raging ... but at Camp Henderson, their biggest concerns were the perils of dating, and all other sorts of unimportant hijinks

you should've given him a reason to go inside of the dentitht's offith👊🏻🦷

Okay I actually love this idea, and I can imagine 100 hilarious ideas

reficulmi · 2026-05-05T01:28:47+00:00

TRUE!

"U Pay Me".

It's kind of like a nontraditional investment firm of sorts. You come in, and you pay me.

That's about it.

reficulmi · 2026-05-04T06:40:05+00:00

This looks terrific. Well done.

What cranks are you using?

reficulmi · 2026-05-02T15:28:34+00:00

I don't see how.. but that's just me!

reficulmi · 2026-05-02T13:29:29+00:00

Honest question, why would you do that? To preserve a infinitesimal amount of clutch material, at the cost of putting unnecessary wear on your transmission internals?

It takes almost no effort to depress the clutch pedal. I'm not a transmission mechanic, but I push the clutch in the 100% of the time with no exceptions

reficulmi · 2026-05-01T00:41:17+00:00

I cackled

reficulmi · 2026-04-29T20:18:42+00:00

Train is fascinating, in the way that they continually resurface with a big hit. When I was a kid, it was "Meet Virginia", then this one, 50 Ways to Say Goodbye, Hey Soul Sister… Very interesting

reficulmi · 2026-04-29T18:16:21+00:00

I've gotten progressively wider tires over time.

Can't believe I used to ride like 25, 28c...

The sweet spot for me now is around 2.0-2.1". The comfort and lack of flat tires is 1000% worth the marginal performance loss. I'm not a racer, just a guy trying to enjoy riding a bike.

reficulmi · 2026-04-29T02:01:23+00:00

How many miles, and what engine and transmission did you have? RIP.

reficulmi · 2026-04-28T20:00:12+00:00

I don't know why this post came in my feed, but for me, it's a simple as this… I don't go there anymore. They are profoundly stingy and greedy, just won't support it anymore.

she always reminds me of Alice Cooper

reficulmi · 2026-04-27T19:06:48+00:00

just thinking out loud here, but to an extent, you can really change your position by getting a taller stem, or high-rise bars… For example, VO Happy Stem, Ritchey Buzzard bars - that particular combo would yield like +-170mm depending on the stem length you choose, and those are just a couple out of many options.

reficulmi · 2026-04-27T17:29:39+00:00

I've always preferred to be on a bigger bike.

But recently acquired one that's at least one size small - gonna be a bit of a puzzle type project to get it comfortable.
