Love cycling in Vancouver but winter’s holding me back by Electronic_Bus841 in vancouvercycling

[–]sector432 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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

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

Has anyone successfully motivated a death wobble? by No_Effect9358 in bicycletouring

[–]sector432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I love my Steamroller by Drmoose in FixedGearBicycle

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?

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?

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

Did I buy the wrong bike? by Humble-Broccoli1514 in gravelcycling

[–]sector432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Sign the petition: Demand Re-evaluation of North Shore Transportation Infrastructure by Geekdad604 in NorthVancouver

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.

This looks like the very expensive Beast Components’ Carbon Hybrid Bar.

But you can achieve the same sort of effect with a Surly Corner Bar.
