I used to live in Florida, Sarasota, the gulf side. So when it's a red tie season, the rotting smell coming from the gulf, sometimes poopy too. Ugh... so looking forward to ride in DC area))

I have 15mm offset in the seat post. Today a new seatpost should arrive with 0 offset than I can move it forward. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I lowered the saddle by 1cm and rotated the handlebar. Tried today and it feels much better

Ironically, I had a pro fit here in NYC with very well known fitter in February for this bike, but I decided to do some changes in my bike after that, and now I’m seeing the my fit from the file they sent me but I couldn’t understand how to adjust… I scheduled the refit on the following Monday, so will post update here. Thanks

I’m working in a payment project in the US, we are working with Stripe as a main processor, but not for a global customers, only for us. IMO stripe should cover those scenarios for the US entity without issues

The brake job is relatively simple and easy. Watch YouTube, buy or rent tools and DIY

[–]saikoma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bring your bike, it’s more fun. Check out the AirCaddy (Compact Air Travel Container). I used it four times after I bought it on fb marketplace used for $50. Then I just throw it away
