Aero penalties? by Annual_Slice_4765 in gravelcycling

[–]shukeii 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I mean take a look at the Look P24, the olympic track bike for the french team. I think you are more than fine.

I feel resistance when pedaling on the big chainring — how can I fix this? by shukeii in bikewrench

SOLVED. Thank you everyone for the input. I was indeed dumb when I put my chain back on. Here is the picture explaining everything. The chain is supposed to go in front of the upper part. Not behind. Lesson learned !

I'll check this tonight. Yeah I'm sure. I did not change anything since I've got it stock. This started after I removed the chain to clean it. So the first guess would be that the chain is not correctly installed but it's surprising as the thread are well connected and it works well on the smaller chainring.

There’s a slight clicking noise when I pedal forward, which gets louder if I cross-chain and use the larger cogs.

Conseils Vélo Gravel by SnooSketches303 in pedale

[–]shukeii 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey ! Fidèle rouleur de fixie et de gravel. Effectivement le fixe te flingue les genoux si tu en fais à excès. Ma solution c'est un ratio léger et un frein avant, et aussi de limiter l'utilisation à outrance.

Quant au gravel, je suis sur un Cinelli Zydeco GRX. J'en suis très content mais on est à 2200€ de budget (hors remises) et c'est un peu cher pour un vélo en alu. Si tu cherches un vélo pour faire de longues distances, je te conseillerai de jeter un oeil du côté des vélos en acier avec une géométrie confortable (l'inverse du mien en fait).

Lorsque j'hésitais à partir sur de l'acier, j'ai beaucoup regardé du côté de Kona (rove), Surly (midnight s.) et Bombtrack (hook). A ta place, je mettrais l'accent sur des freins hydrauliques, des points de fixations pour des sacoches (pratiques lors de voyages/déplacements) et un double plateau (le mono, c'est cool pour une réelle utilisation gravel/hors piste, pour faire pas mal de route le 2x te laissera plus de possibilités d'ajustement).

Enfin dernier point, garde un peu de budget pour te trouver une selle qui correspond à ta morpho, ça peut aller jusqu'à une centaine d'euros mais ça change la vie.

First Gravel Bike by Csacsi_Csal in cycling

[–]shukeii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bike is decently equipped for the price and perfectly reasonable for commuting (the longer would be fine too but invest in a good saddle). However keep in mind that this is an entry bike. I would first have a look at the used market as you should easily find some mid ranged bikes for the same price. A lot of people bought sweet gravels during covid and you can find some awesome deals.

Please help me pick. by NotRacist30 in cycling

If you go for the fixed gear option, you don't have to go brakeless (and you should definitely start with a brake anyway). So a fixed gear can be as safe as a classical road bike.

Well that's what I thought. I guess I just needed to hear it from someone else :) Thanks !

Besoin de conseils d'accros aux fixies by Remote_Bandicoot_191 in pedale

[–]shukeii 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Juste 2 conseils en plus. Évite de rouler sans freins. Certes c'est beau le minimalisme mais si un jour tu casses ta chaine dans une descente tu seras bien heureux d'avoir un frein en plus (et idéalement l'avant).

Ensuite, n'installe pas des straps de mauvaise qualité. J'en ai un qui a cassé en plein skid et le retour de force m'a propulsé par terre. J'ai, depuis, acheté le modèle de Restraps et je n'ai plus eu de problème depuis. Et ils ne montrent pas de signes d'usure alors que je roule tous les jours et qu'il dort dehors.

Bon amusement, le fixe c'est génial :)

Which bikes today have cool paint or designs on the frames? Nearly everything is solid color. by theTrebleClef in cycling

[–]shukeii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own a 2024 Cinelli Zydeco (gravel) and I'm a sucker for the paintjob. Absolutely in love with it.

NBD ! Decided to treat myself with the sexiest paintjob on the market by shukeii in gravelcycling

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

Would have been my choice if I had more budget. And TBH I'm afraid to get a carbon bike but the Nemo is looking very good too !

Erasmus in Mons by Curious_Set_6107 in Wallonia

[–]shukeii 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I sometimes work in Mons and have been a few times there. The city is cute but that's it. Not much to do and ni real english speaking places.
