The dude knows about Mexico and their Sentras.

There are vans there also. Otherwise yeah I recall it jamming in the back seat

My newer bikes have Praxis carbon cranks. I honestly haven't seen any better bang for the buck for this high quality of crank and bottom bracket. SRAM XO on wife's bike is nice. DUB yo

Not sure...

50% off WTB volt saddles today as they clear out inventory for the redesigned version

They will come up with more stupid shit to get those fringe weirdo buyers to spend $$ for imaginary gains.

35mm has more flex. Get softer grips also

Dtswiss rims are meant to bend and bend back. Been like that for decades now. There is a reason they are the racers favorite

I just realized I'm on year 3 with my Magura brakes and they haven't needed a bleed. Watch something will happen now

Right it's just latex or synthetic latex

Open it up and look. It's a tool free system

Whenever I lube my DT240 hubs I feel like it is louder than I remember. Then I go ride it and I barely hear it.

Sounds like internal freehub issue. One of a couple pieces could be broken but you can't tell until you open it up. It happens

Then the best is probably local to you. Shipping just delays the process.

My guy does work for individual customers, bike shops, and a couple bike brands in town.

No more than a couple day...

Chains got skinnier but they also either got stronger or under less side load due to 1x drivetrains.

Either way haven't broken one in a long long time. I still carry the tool and a quick link...

Don't make that assumption. Specialized used 34.9 forever

Everyone probably has an externally routed dropper gathering dust on their shelf. No need to buy a new one.

You'll need a seatpost spacer for that Specialized proprietary nonsense.

Same experience here. My Sram derailleur likes to randomly come loose and the shifting slowly gets wonky.

You're buying a dream of where you are faster than you would be without spending money.

Not to be rude but ride them both and make your own decision. It's pretty easy to swap out.

My buddy has had 2 aluminum YT builds. Zero issues with the frames. Good as anything made out there. I'm sure a Giant factory or similar is making them and those are bullet proof

It's great stuff. Nice colors and fit. I think they tried making gravel style stuff but stopped quickly

I've got new mountain bike stuff thanks to Flylow. Similar style and local to me.

That neopro stuff looks good but thinner than tissue paper. I know skinny pros like that but I'm fucking jacked like a MMA fighter mixed with John Holmes so not feeling it.

That's what Fred was in until recently. Mine are getting there. It's gross, let's buy some new stuff even if nothing has changed in 20 years it's good to not look like a saggy worn out old timer.

Ok I've got a question. Most of my roadie kits are getting pretty worn out. They get used for commuting all year. Since my days of racing are very much done I don't have access to good clothing...

Propain Tyee just announced on Pinkbike. Seems like a good day to order one.

Nah making a bike geek to compute N+1 is easier than selling Hondas back in the 80s.

Yeah I have the skinny one with the adapter built in is what I have. Definitely not set it and forget it but more adaptable to small cars

I switch my 1up around the cars and trucks. I found that it comes loose on some but not all. I found that it comes down to the hitch not necessarily the rack. Not all hitches have the same shape...

Fuck I can't read well in the morning. You didn't say it was broken you asked if the paint might be hiding something.

How cheap are we talking for that Pepto pink frame?

IMO it takes balls to sell a repaired carbon frame. I'm confident in my work but not that confident.

I've got a XO 11 speed. Now I want to know what the XX shifter looks like inside. SRAM shifters are remarkably simple mechanically

While I agree and my bike has that 11 speed (for life yo!) When I pedal a 12 speed XO Eagle I get envious of how good that shifter feels

I would dispute that the 11 speed shifts nicer than the 9 speed. But I could easily be convinced shift ramp design hasn't improved much. The actual shifters have definitely gotten smoother. I...

Those don't work with Cush Core. It needs a valve on the side.

XTR = Shimano engineered to fall apart quickly and cost most to replace. But it is lighter....

I'd blame in on those janky rims before the tire.

Put 2ozs in there and 1 gram in your lungs and go pedal.

I never get boogers. I change tires out multiple times a year so it doesn't have time to form. I use the 2oz bottle often.

It needs to be on the bike

Yeah you must absolutely clean every element of foreign substances before going wax chain lube. Make sure you have your white gloves on to check

I love when anal retentive folks justify their...

Jeezus if my chain was so gross that I had to run it through multiple solvent tanks I would just throw it away and get a new one.

Haven't had gross chain issues for a decade plus. Wash your bikes...

2.6 isn't plus right? We just got away with the marketing people assigning a name to them. Kept it numeric just like it ought to be. I've got a larger moto tire than standard. Shinko calls it a...

I find the magura shiftmix to be limited in range of adjustment. I struggled to get the shifter in the perfect spot.

Dawn dish soap

Front derailleurs have always been ugly

VTskibum you have the previous generation Traverse SL which are nice wheels. Current gen has J bend spokes, better hubs, and all the spokes are the same size. Rim isn't changed much as it is...

We always seem to think alike. I built my last bike around the Roval Traverse SL Wheelset which is close (better) than this spec. It truly is a fantastic carbon wheelset.

Always have a spare....

Or be willing to pay for one at any moment.

Otherwise it's just a casual hobby.

I'm a fan of the two wheel system. Swapping out doesn't take more than an hour and the tires can last a whole season

Get these tools. I use them multiple times a year as every bike since the 80s uses the standard. Less than $20 on Amazon or buy the nicer Park Tools
...

This guy gets it. Danno needs to spend some big money to keep his Boulder status. Buy a new bike. Saw one at the shop for $12,900 the other day. Not even an ebike
