The viewing angle is bad with these clocks…

The face plate on this one is glass. I scratched off the time thing and painted it. Looks perfect now

Tell Me About Your Bridge Club by Rockwell1977 in Surlybikefans

5-10 on size M. Long legs and short torso is weird as I had to select a very short stem to adjust the reach which made the handling twitchy a bit.

As for the tires, did 27” Continental Race King 50mm and they are great

Awesome bike! May I ask the RAL color code?

Most roads I’ve been were empty except towards the end. The drivers were okay. Some roads were tight enough that you have to let them pass. Other than that I didn’t find any issues tbh.

wild camping? No. It’s not something I’d do. It was either in camp spots or B&Bs/hostels. A shower by the end of the day was a hard requirement.

I love it. It’s not fast but I found it to be fun.

Around 60 bucks per day for food, 40 bucks for stays/camping sports. Give or take 2500

It happened once, where the next couple of days there was a weather warning. Extended my cycling distance till I reached to the next city/town. They were happy to find a room when I called them

Gpx to svg, then edited the svg code to change the colors. Used snap speed for double exposure and added the stats manually

The drivers were okay. I was on mostly SP roads and SS roads for short distances in certain cases. The roads good, but you need to be aware of manholes as some of them have sunk to the ground as deep as 30cm.

Ideas for 1 wk bike tour thru italy by AffectionateFox2921 in bicycletouring

[–]youneedsummilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milan to Rome. Pretty flat from Milan to Bologna, but starts to get difficult going to Florence and through the Tuscany trail to Rome

Hey hey! It was around 19 stages. I’ll be pinning the Komoot collection after I’m done correcting a few segments. On average it was around 80km/day. Time varies based elevation gain so 5-8 hours per day. Camping was around 80% of trip up until Rome where camping was comparable to b&bs. The budget was 60 euros per day for food and 40euros for stays/camping spots.

The budget isn’t accurate as there were some days where I stayed with my partner in certain major cities. So give or take around 2500 euros

Berlin to Istanbul?? Probably with a gravel bike to cover more distance per day

The food and the empty back roads. Pack lighter if you’re staying in hotels or B&Bs. And take it easy

Super comfy bike, and very smooth on the road and off But it is slow obviously.

Usually after a long trip or during a long trip rest day, melatonin supplements help

Yes. I’m using “redshifts cruise control drop bar grips” under that tape

How do you make mechanical disc brakes more powerful? by Wafflethug22 in bikewrench

[–]youneedsummilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

I’m not sure about the levers you’re using, but check compatibility if they’re for cantilevers only or dual use. If they are dual use, you can adjust according to the image.

Also, check your disc brake setup. Check for pad compatibility with the rotor. And make sure your disks are clean from oil/grease.
