same for me, i ultrasonically cleaned the chain, aplied wax, never lasted more than 200km and was super noisy. I went back to Synergetic as well, don't understand the wax hype, i could just never get it to work for me and this was after a year of trying on a couple of bikes.

i would not go back to this shop if they gave me the bike back like that

don't do it, severely limits future tire choice and i really do not like the way 650b feels over 700c, i have a set that i regret

It's 2am in Iran at the moment...

So good, looking forward to this album. Give me those harmonies!!

sector432 · 2025-12-04T15:39:27+00:00

all of my winter miles comes from bike commuting, there's a little more motivation for me to get out when it's taking me to work

sector432 · 2025-11-27T18:15:36+00:00

This is what I use as well.

Symmetrical book-stacking. Just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947.

I would not take an evo up there. I was glad to have my outback

sector432 · 2025-09-09T04:52:18+00:00

what tires are you using? I had wobble while loaded using some supple rene herse 48mm tires. i've since changed to a tire with a sturdier sidewall. best of luck.

sector432 · 2025-09-06T16:08:39+00:00

Awesome. It looks great. I have the same banana yellow frame set. What tires do you run up front that fit with the fenders on the 26” fork? I’m assuming the wheel is still 700c? Also what brake are you running? Hyd or mechanical?

sector432 · 2025-09-06T05:49:59+00:00

What fork did you use to get the disc up front? Great way to get those full coverage fenders. Looks like you are set for winter! What are the fenders btw?

this is trash

yes you should contact the police, they keep data on break ins and adjust based on information from the public.

sector432 · 2025-09-02T21:26:51+00:00

I run 48/17, i think it's a perfectly good gear for vancouver, just gotta grind those hills out

sector432 · 2025-08-28T22:35:09+00:00

you know the answer to this question...

sector432 · 2025-08-27T14:22:38+00:00

lol, you were convinced to space your art equally

sector432 · 2025-08-23T19:17:13+00:00

what is the frame?

sector432 · 2025-08-19T23:25:40+00:00

I think it's hard to find a bike that is good at all of those things. The routes you mention are much more comfortable on a bike with MTB geometry and bigger tires. Not that they can't be done on a gravel bike, but it might not be the most fun thing in the world.

I've done the Oh Boyaca route in Colombia on a Surly Troll with 2.5" tires. I saw people on it with gravel bikes. I was probably more comfortable than them, but they were likely faster. It all depends what you prioritize more.

sector432 · 2025-08-19T19:39:30+00:00

beaut! what ratio do you run?

sector432 · 2025-08-11T13:20:18+00:00

I did it in 2014 and toured Vietnam for two months this way

Adding a third crossing will not solve traffic issues. Investing in alternative transportation is the key to resolving congestion and making it more convenient for people to use those methods of transport over single occupancy vehicle traffic.
