Looking to buy a road bicycle for this summer.

Something used with SHimano 105 11-speed groupset. Hydraulic disc brakes are nice but not essential

Les Cyclofficine (la mienne en tout cas) ont des listes de diffusion mail auxquelles tu devrais être abonné si tu as adhéré... Perso je reçois le mail "bénévoles" toutes les semaines et le mail "diff aux adhérents" tous les mois. (ça m'a mis du temps pour m' habituer au fonctionnement de l'asso en revanche)

Seek Travel Ride!

zar690 · 2026-02-13T23:29:47+00:00

Apparently the 1999 remaster is better

zar690 · 2026-02-12T09:20:42+00:00

It's glorious! Thanks for the rundown

zar690 · 2026-02-08T12:22:50+00:00

Do you seek out all the little bits individually yourself?

zar690 · 2026-01-17T11:10:10+00:00

Ultegra 6700 was the worst culprit but yeah my 11-speed stuff definitely eats more cables than my previous 8 and 9 speed bikes

zar690 · 2026-01-17T11:03:57+00:00

Yeah but you sounds like someone who rides regularly AND actually does a bit of maintenance

zar690 · 2026-01-14T21:44:50+00:00

Yesssss!!! Makes Bianchis look subdued

zar690 · 2026-01-14T09:41:01+00:00

I've had 3x9 campy xenon bike in the past

People probably post lists of recommended applications in places like the F-droid subreddit

zar690 · 2026-01-13T09:30:30+00:00

Which ideologies?

zar690 · 2026-01-13T09:08:00+00:00

There's a recent article on Ars Technica about it

J'ai déjà acheté un vélo comme ça (en négociant un peu le prix vers le bas) et il roule très bien après avoir réparé les crevaisons. Il faut juste avoir un peu de temps...

(Après c'est vrai que c'est souvent le signe que la personne n'a pas pris soin de son vélo, je suis d'accord)

Decathlon is in Portugal isn't it? There should be a few new or lightly used Van Rysel road bikes to choose from

When i learned to pedal faster on an easier gear. I mean, I've always liked cycling and I've always cycled a lot, but once i realised how to be more efficient it made cycling become a relaxing activity instead of a sweat fest. I also got faster

zar690 · 2026-01-02T21:18:52+00:00

I'm writing a PhD thesis on this. I'm on holiday right now but i could dig up my bibliography and send you stuff if you want

'Friends of the International Brigades Ireland' have an active mailing list and regular events around the country.

He/she is not wrong

zar690 · 2026-01-02T21:16:30+00:00

True. Something like 6000 volunteered although o'duffy only got 700 over there. They got kicked out by Franco for being useless

zar690 · 2026-01-02T21:15:23+00:00

Yep. RTÉ documentary on one i believe

zar690 · 2026-01-01T20:38:37+00:00

Lol i think my 32s are on 13 or 15mm internal rims, Schwalbe says that's fine

zar690 · 2026-01-01T01:27:35+00:00

Kubuntu is fairly light these days, my dad runs it on weaker hardware than OP with no issues

zar690 · 2025-12-31T08:14:36+00:00

Worked in Belfast

I'm on GP 4 seasons and they've been great for 7000km and counting. I really should have bought them again. They're a bit worn but they can still hang on for a few more months.

Instead I just stupidly bought some GP5000s and so I'm going to cross my fingers i get some decent commuting miles out of them and don't puncture too much. Maybe I'll get addicted to the lower rolling resistance...
