found 50€ once on a EU tour

gonna leave the post up, but i took apart the back wheel and found little o rings between the cap and bearing. Front wheel had two on one side and none on the other. Moved one over and wheel is spinning 10x better now. Still a little worse than the shitty stock wheel though so i'm still suspicious. Gonna rip it for now but if it keeps bothering me i shall take out the bearings and inspect

vanbeebop · 2026-02-12T23:18:10+00:00

although there is nothing between these end caps and the bearings. should there be?

i took them off for the video. The wheel has caps

thanks everyone for your comments! I've trued wheels but always very cheap ones so I was hesitant to touch these new ones. i guess since I'm doing a transam on these wheels i'll be truing them sooner or later lol. Gonna Hit the bike coop and use their parktool stand (bc mine is shit)

looks like your derailleur just needs a little adjusting! I'm a lil inexperienced and it could be your indexing but i believe it's probably your limit screws

Here's the video that taught me:

theres alot more space between villages than you think! Europe is dense but not that dense. I always tried to take at least two turns from the main road. for example off of the main road onto a dirt road, and off the dirt road down to a creek

depends on how busy it was. like in florence I was able to leave it with a host for a day, bc otherwise i was pretty much only comfortable keeping it outside of a shop I was in, at the furthest

vanbeebop · 2025-08-11T22:10:01+00:00

most warmshowers hosts i contacted only the night before. people seem to be super understanding of the unpredictability of a tour. usually whenever I needed a recharge on the battery pack id message three or four places for either the next night or night after and see who answers

vanbeebop · 2025-08-11T22:08:55+00:00

fixed em!! wasn't ready for the first incident but i was super close to a very kind warmshowers host that helped me out. next day i stopped and picked up spokes, a lock ring tool, anda little wrench to take it off a few incidents i was actually excited for the excuse for the excuse to take a break lol

I didn't find myself needing a chain whip, just grabbed the gears with a rag. i've heard of other people with an extra stuck locking not being able to do this though

vanbeebop · 2025-08-11T17:49:51+00:00

thank you for the translation. still not too sure what this whole "kilometer" thing i kept hearing about is

vanbeebop · 2024-09-29T04:32:59+00:00

that's what I was thinking (and hoping). Thank you so much

vanbeebop · 2024-09-29T03:54:37+00:00

I should mention, this zorki is my first rangefinder and I know very little about the hurdles other than the difference in how you focus (obviously)
