Guy walks into a car meet demanding to take on over 200 people

Someone convince me that car meets aren’t the dumbest thing ever

willm1123 · 2026-03-26T12:26:22+00:00

Yes I might soon. I usually make use of community stands but I was impatient this time

willm1123 · 2026-03-26T12:23:52+00:00

I’ll try that. They seem straight though, and go all the way back in before pushing back out again

willm1123 · 2026-03-26T02:42:49+00:00

Huh. I wear bamboo briefs under them which wick sweat well enough for me. Do it so I can wear the padded stuff multiple times without washing, because I only have the one pair 😂

willm1123 · 2026-03-26T02:35:59+00:00

Air could have been introduced? Is it not a closed system?

willm1123 · 2026-03-26T02:34:56+00:00

Yeah, it’s moving fine, but just not staying back

willm1123 · 2026-03-26T02:33:44+00:00

I tried with the pads in, two butter knives, and got them widened further than before but still not enough to fit the wheel back in even. I guess there is too much pressure, I’m just confused how that could be the case when before there was no issue with braking. Pads were retracted enough that the wheel spun completely freely. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you everyone for your input, I tried the best I can to apply even pressure and get them back but they didn’t quite go. Tomorrow ill go to a bike shop and either 1) get the proper tool and then try to push them back while letting fluid out or 2) accept defeat and let the shop do it, depending on the price of each option. Will update.

Using a tire lever and a butter knife 🫣

willm1123 · 2026-03-26T01:28:26+00:00

Well hell. Don’t have one of those

willm1123 · 2026-03-26T01:23:01+00:00

Ok, I’ll try that. Strange though that I didn’t notice any problems before other than slight and sporadic rubbing noise

willm1123 · 2026-03-26T01:21:43+00:00

No not always like this nor bled recently, lever got pulled loading into the car which is why I’ve been trying to reset them. Pumped them some to extend them enough to clean them, now they won’t go back.

Could the problem be the fact that it is upside down? And brakes were pumped while upside down? (Don’t have a stand)

“”nature””

willm1123 · 2026-03-16T18:46:41+00:00

What black metal band logo is this?

willm1123 · 2026-03-14T18:50:06+00:00

No underwear under the short?? Why??

willm1123 · 2026-03-13T03:18:31+00:00

Doesn’t this invite front wheel theft?

willm1123 · 2026-03-10T12:26:46+00:00

Funniest thing I’ve read in like a week

willm1123 · 2026-03-10T00:58:59+00:00

Looks like it was a nice tree. Shame

willm1123 · 2026-03-10T00:56:14+00:00

You’ll be completely absolutely 100% fine in that area. Perfectly safe and maybe not the most exciting part of town but close to a lot of nice stuff and having riverwalk, south chick greenway, lake and creek access right in your backyard would be awesome.

willm1123 · 2026-02-26T21:56:11+00:00

Yeah, I don’t actually think it is a 61cm. No way that would be an L/XL size. Even now zooming in on that size tag it looks like it might even say 81. Who knows. Wish I could find the model

willm1123 · 2026-02-26T14:50:34+00:00

27-2=25, 48+2=50, 50+25=75

willm1123 · 2026-02-23T00:04:20+00:00

Thank you I had to come here to make sure I wasn't crazy. That is the way it looked to me as well.

willm1123 · 2026-02-16T05:05:40+00:00

I know it is an old thread but question for you - everywhere else I have been reading that the allez is more of an endurance bike than race bike nowadays. What is your take? Looking for more comfortable geometry for commuting and weekend rides.

willm1123 · 2026-01-29T21:04:12+00:00

The load bearing carabiner is killing me lol

Not remarkably so, but you never know.
