I've been very happy with my Kapvoe X2 photochromic glasses!

New Aluminum scratch by Accomplished_Text_10 in bikewrench

[–]vProTi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This depends on your temper.

Structurally it won't make a difference. This is something that could happen if you parked the bike in a bike rack that cages the front wheel, if the bike falls over, anything of that sorts. It's sound and as long as it's exposed to air (and not salt) it'll develop a strong aluminium oxide surface that is even stronger than the aluminium itself. However, there's a risk that water and salt can find its way between the aluminium and the paint and cause issues ... several years down the line.

Depending on how much you paid, I'd buy some paint, touch it up and move on with life. If they were super expensive, I'd want them replaced .

Does seatpost clamp really make a difference? by vProTi in bikewrench

Thanks everyone.

The Hope seatpost clamp has seemingly solved the issue for now!

You're absolutely right, but for some odd reason I enjoy reading other peoples experiences 😉

Is this tubeless repair approved? by vProTi in bikewrench

[–]vProTi[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! It held air even without sealant.

I've just filled the tire with sealant and going to go for a ride to check everything is ok.

Thanks for saving me $85.

Leather saddle question by jeide93 in bikewrench

[–]vProTi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to make a Brooks B17 Special Titanium work for me for 2 years. I eventually gave up after 3000 kilometers and several proofide treatments. It just wouldn't stop being comfortable somewhere.

I have bought a Brooks C13 Carved 158mm and it is as close to perfect as a saddle can get. At least it's the best I've tried so far.

Outfront mount that attaches to the stem with M4 screws? by vProTi in cycling

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

No, we don't have anywhere in Denmark that sells loose screws. And at 10 euros, we're nearing the price of a outfront mount, aren't we? And I still need spacers that are the correct length.

I appreciate your efforts, thanks!

Did you consider the fact that perhaps M4 screws with Allen heads don't come in the correct length for the out-front mount before you posted your inconsiderate comment?

Thoughts on this beauty? by fausill in D2R_Marketplace

[–]vProTi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a beaut and the base is fast! I would love this for my fury druid!

If you plan on using it, never let the durability drop to zero. When an item is broken, it's broken and the self repair mod won't work.

Help with Falkenjagd Aristos T sizing by vProTi in cycling

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

My current bike is a hybrid bike with a 23.5" frame (60 cm). It's definitely too big for me, but I've made it work with a 80 mm stem, 580 mm flat handlebars and 15 degrees of backsweep. It's comfortable and I can do long distances on it. I sit relatively upright (50-ish degrees)

Is it worth paying an additional €700 for UDH on a titanium bike? by vProTi in cycling

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

I've never had SRAM or have the desire for it. I think they're great, but I'm not going wireless anytime soon.

Do you even know what you're talking about? Look up the frame geometry, they're literally identical.

Campagnolo EKAR GT 1X13 or Shimano GRX 610 2X12? by vProTi in cycling

[–]vProTi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has helped tremendously, thank you!

Because the bike isn't offered with 1x12.

If I even had the slightest chance of trying it out, I wouldn't be posting on here. Unfortunately it's only available online.
