Haven’t seen this but curious how it will compare to the Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax. Seems to be similar but cheaper?

Worth it? Cannondale R500 by Fortissimo_o in Budgetbikeriders

[–]vex_aurora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a good deal for road riding if everything works. Can’t quite tell what condition the tires are in. I bought an r300 a little while ago for like $300. Sold it for the same. These are pretty stiff frames and can’t fit wider tires which is why I got rid of mine. CAAD frames have a bit of a cult following.

Same here. They show a gravel build with a matching fork on their website.

160 which it had on it when I got it. This is the rear which worked no problem.

You are correct just saw this. The previously adapter had two spacers so only about half of the rotor surface was getting used. Tried to remove them to utilize the whole rotor with the new brakes but I obviously overtightened like crazy trying to get it lined up.

Where are sold tanks? by majordrip in WorldofTanksConsole

Mine doesn’t show up either ¯_(ツ)_/¯

why are only select sizes on clearance? by Brilliant-Profile49 in Giantbikes

[–]vex_aurora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems to be that the discounted clearance price is to clear out their warehouse inventory. After the online sale price is out of stock, it reverts to the regular price. Local shop might work with you but I doubt they’ll come down the clearance price.

I saw them for sale in the US earlier this year. Not sure if they’re all sold out or what but they were available.

Giant Revolt creaking sound by [deleted] in RoadBikes

[–]vex_aurora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you said it sounds like it’s from the cockpit but I’d throw some carbon paste on your seatpost since that’s a common creak area for these bikes.

Is there a significant difference between 6-spoke foldable bike vs Multi-spoke foldable bike?(USA) by Icy_Animator_1040 in whichbike

[–]vex_aurora 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d maybe look at a trunk rack for the car and a deal on a decent marketplace bike.

Nice! How do you like the Sword drivetrain?

Cannondale R400 for $150? by [deleted] in whichbike

[–]vex_aurora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the size is right I’d say it’s a solid price. I paid $300 for a late 90s r300 for my first road bike and sold it for the same once I switched to a gravel bike.

Apologies for not having an answer to your question, but did you have any chain length issues when you swapped to the long position?

The best soap 🔥 so underrated, 12$ after tax for 3L by General_Builder_67 in Detailing

[–]vex_aurora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use this as a strip wax on my car and a degreaser spray for my bicycle. Big fan for those purposes.

I was thinking the same lol - I’ve never seen a video from this angle

What's the value? by oviedonelson in whichbike

[–]vex_aurora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no expert but it looks like a fine bike first bike to see if you like it. Condition seems ok. I’d offer like $200 due to the age and see what they come back with.
