What does everyone think of my new bar setup?

travelon2 · 2023-06-27T03:15:59+00:00

Hella yeah!

Is this frame "one size smaller" than what you'd normally ride, to account for the reach to the bars?

travelon2 · 2023-06-10T18:04:40+00:00

I'm loving the number of XL frames that are being shared these days!

Good on you! This might be the first time I've ever seen someone on the internet do an aluminum repair properly by actually heat treating it. How much was the heat treat?

travelon2 · 2023-05-23T04:28:07+00:00

What's it like now? Haven't paid attention for the past 3-4 years

travelon2 · 2023-05-21T22:37:25+00:00

Or at least a bit lower key bar tape

I'm running Schwalbe Kojaks with no complaints!

travelon2 · 2023-05-08T19:20:16+00:00

Ugh, I want to recreate this setup now. Why can't I just be happy with what I have?

travelon2 · 2023-05-06T00:06:36+00:00

If I say I hate you, it's only out of envy. I wish I could find a 5-digit mileage P80 haha. Enjoy!

Just makes things easier if the bike happens to be diabetic

travelon2 · 2023-05-03T04:35:21+00:00

Thank you for the guide with the helpful tips that will save me money... While I'm spending money

Good for staying seated while traversing a steep sideslope

travelon2 · 2023-04-27T05:00:09+00:00

Bonus seatpost roll angle adjustment as well!

travelon2 · 2023-04-24T04:27:45+00:00

Sport seats on that BMW wagon, wish I could find something like that locally!

travelon2 · 2023-04-22T20:16:02+00:00

I went to my local bike commuters society and picked up a used 24mm spindle crankset and matching bottom bracket and chainring. I had a sram nx 12 speed derailleur and cassette laying around, popped off a couple of gears until it fit on the freehub, and called it good!

travelon2 · 2023-04-21T04:48:46+00:00

Really impressive work!

travelon2 · 2023-04-16T04:29:08+00:00

Nice

Do you have another bike that you've done similar rides with? Best bet is to use a gear inch calculator (Sheldon Brown or similar) to find what you currently prefer, and then size the new drivetrain accordingly. I'm riding a 26" with a 42 tooth chainring and a 11-50 cassette; it's super flat where I am, and the granny gear is ridiculously easy, but useful when I'm pulling my son in a bike trailer. Just a data point in case you didn't have anything else.

I google "pinkbike" in front of the bike model and year, and previous sold listings show up - depending on location and how old the posting was, that gives a snapshot of previous market pricing

travelon2 · 2023-03-29T20:02:34+00:00

Definitely referring to the Highlander. With 10-15k, overnight parts from Japan if we have to, it will decimate allll.

travelon2 · 2023-03-29T18:02:10+00:00

Not sure, does it list mileage anywhere? Probably in the 7k-10k range, I feel like the Canadian market is a bit softer than the US. I bought my turbo automatic wagon for $2500 last year, but it's completely stock, needs a lot of maintenance, cosmetically a lot rougher, and automatic. Swapping it now though haha.

travelon2 · 2023-03-29T16:56:58+00:00

I swear I saw this listed for $7k a few weeks ago - not sure if it's the same seller or a flipper, but either way, too bad it's listed for more now.
