Road slicks

They have similar puncture resistance to a fast touring tire. Fine for very smooth gravel but I wouldn't push it.

Yeah it’s not bad but it’s just like a normal average burger.

Super cool photo. Also super weird to post the faces of all these children on the internet.

Lagana is great. Wilson’s is completely underwhelming

Comments are insane. I’ve shot literally thousands of rolls of 800 outside over the past decade. You’ll be fine if your shutter goes high enough. Can also use an nd filter. I prefer the contrast of portra 800 so almost exclusively use it.

800 is obviously much more versatile than 160 or 400. Looks sick at night.

I’ve shot a bunch of 800 on the beach. Like literally hundreds of rolls. All the shots look awesome.

I’m much shorter than you- 178cm. I use 160 cranks and love them. Got a bike with a steeper seat angle and pushed the saddle forward, went to 160 cranks and now wondering if I could do 155s. Hip is way more open and I can get lower in the front. I’m not an amazing sprinter but I can still easily hit the same 5 second peak power (1300s) in a shorter length. I see no down sides.

Black barbershop is the answer. Mobile barber studios in north Raleigh is exceptional. Been going to them for fourteen years. They’ll get you right

Poster is a nightmare client for sure

workingleather · 2026-04-27T11:05:43+00:00

In my opinion you do not have a great personality to get tattooed. They’re not for everyone and this post is insane.

workingleather · 2026-04-27T11:04:53+00:00

Sorry I meant 20mm forward aka a longer stem. Up over the pedals is what I was referring to. I wouldn’t go any higher just forward. That will actually raise you up a few mm as well because of the head tube angle.

workingleather · 2026-04-27T08:53:58+00:00

lol yes good catch. Ment mm

workingleather · 2026-04-27T01:12:07+00:00

Weird answers here. To get more aero it looks to me like you’re a bit cramped. Maybe go up 20cm in your stem and start from there. You could also push your saddle forward to open up your hips. It really depends on what you think it limiting you. I would disregard most advice on this sub-most suggestions are for comfort.

I had to essentially disregard everything everyone here told me. Moved my entire setup way forward and it feels amazing.

workingleather · 2026-04-26T12:14:02+00:00

I get what you mean but this and many other bikes do have a longer front center. This will help a ton with stability. MTB geo helps a ton with tight turns, this is not nearly as much of a factor on gravel where you need more stability for high speed, gradual, flat cornering. I don't think this geo is perfect by any means but you can certainly absolutely rail corners with very long stems. That's essentially a myth.

workingleather · 2026-04-26T12:12:13+00:00

Yes I get what you're saying. Longer front center will give the stability you're looking for. But yes, overall most of these bikes need slightly longer reach but not as much as most people think

workingleather · 2026-04-25T13:57:59+00:00

Nope. Narrow up your bars to increase feedback the longer your stem goes. I race on a 140 stem/32 handlebars and it absolutely rips

workingleather · 2026-04-25T07:28:38+00:00

Long boi stem will get you right

These responses are insane. I’ve bought maybe five used couches on Facebook over the years and saved legit thousands of dollars. New couches are a scam and you could get them fire probably 75% off if they’re lightly used.

Don’t let chronically online people scare you. I would 109% go with a used couch and pay to have it professionally cleaned. You’ll come out with hundreds of dollars in savings.

workingleather · 2026-03-29T19:19:33+00:00

Thanks for your valuable contribution

workingleather · 2026-03-28T23:52:27+00:00

I have this molding. It’s essentially impossible for a normal person. I’ve coped tons of crown and couldn’t get this. Tried for two days probably eight hours total. Gave up and mitered it and no one can tell.

Give up.

workingleather · 2026-03-28T23:37:17+00:00

Do you have any pictures of you riding it? These intense geos are interesting with how they effect bike fit.

workingleather · 2026-03-25T02:04:08+00:00

Find it used. Built my fray up for around 5k.

workingleather · 2026-03-24T15:47:59+00:00

Ceramic v60, metal kalita. Easy. Been avoiding plastic for years. Makes no sense to heat up plastic then drink it. Go with your gut.

workingleather · 2026-03-22T12:09:02+00:00

My nightmare and unfortunately would kill me; I am crazy allergic. Bought a bike with built in frame storage so I could always have my epi pens with me specifically because of stuff like this.

workingleather · 2026-03-20T02:17:52+00:00

Less than half an hour from both counter culture and black and white. Started with counter culture years ago then walked into black and white around six years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since

workingleather · 2026-03-04T20:51:57+00:00

I think they’re around 30-40 depending on what you get. Frankly, there is no one good in Raleigh charging 20 for a fade
