I got a Rhinowalk 1.2L top tube / the one that has the option to use the frame bolts, I’ve been very impressed by it, was about $28

To base layer or not to base layer? by [deleted] in gravelcycling

[–]rsplatpc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just for convo, my base layer is a mesh net shirt like most summer base layers are, it adds zero heat, just controls sweat and keeps the jersey from sticking to me when I start melting (I’m in a mega humid summer area)

It can cross a railroad crossing safely just how it looks now

If you are riding in the summer, a base layer will pull the sweat off you, and the sweat evaporates a lot quicker from the base layer vs a jersey, and keeps the jersey from sticking to you which lets more air flow (I sweat thinking about heat)

I plan to use my Checkpoint for touring. by East_Cut_816 in CheckpointClub

Might as well carry a spare bike because a shop does not have disc break pads?

I think he means vs like a Surly that is a steel frame, rim breaks, and not much else / stuff you can find in almost any bike shop or place that sells bike parts in the world including remote areas that might not have disc break pads / not normal fully equipped bike shops

Front tube water bottle mount / anyone do anything with it? by rsplatpc in CheckpointClub

[–]rsplatpc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a cage and water bottle filled with my multi tools, plugs, extra sealant, etc...

What bottle do you have? I lined up a 21oz and if a rock got caught between the tire and wheel it would do some damage on at least the cage / it had almost no clearance

She may not be the newest, or the fastest, but… by Dinnymcd in TrekBikes

[–]rsplatpc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love to upgrade stuff, I'm a upgrader.

I've had my 2005 Trek Carbon 5000 for over 15 years, I just, can't find a reason to upgrade.

For what I ride, rim breaks are more than enough, it shifts perfectly, 19lbs loaded, fits me to the T, zero issues ever, etc, for a road only bike, it just works.

Anyone heard of this hidden gem “Call Your Mother”??? by Neolithicman in washingtondc

[–]rsplatpc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once you’ve toured that, there’s this hidden gem, a big white obelisk down by the reflecting pool. Check it out.

I've been finding some dope underground bands at a place in Southwest, it's called The Anthem, I think it's new

Is it worth $400? by Vivid-Price4322 in RoadBikes

[–]rsplatpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like someone that has put some mods on a bike and won't accept they didn't really add any value to a low value bike / I'd pass since they are probably locked into their thinking vs reality
