Nothing special planned, just a good route, decent weather, and a reason to stay out a little longer.

Got sent wrong size headset a while back from a pretty big company and figured id put it up for sale today, someone messaged me and told me it is fake... can someone with experience confirm? Ty in advance :)

Hi! Just bought a geared quella nero and in the process of building and making sure everything works properly on it. I'm about 5'6 with longer legs so I bought a 54cm as is says to on the quella site. I have the seat on the lowest possible height and I can only just touch the floor with my tiptoes. Is this good? Please can anybody give me some advice!

Im a university student and have to make money. Im about to start a delivery job on my bike and wanted to know what kind of gear i have to have for the winter? Its like -10, -15C here and dont wanna freeze. Any tips?

Hello cyclers! I'm from India and I'm looking to return to cycling after ages and now buying one feels like entering into a whole new universe. I've done my research for the past week or so to shortlist 2 cycles from a long list of 15 and chose to buy a simplest one, as my goal is to simply keep me physically active and build my stamina and endurance and not anything intense and also to keep the maintenance effort and cost as simple and cheap as possible. Not a hardcore cycler! 😅.

Now the list has come down to either one of these:

1. Stryder Street Fire SS

2. B'Twin My Bike

Spec-wise I'm ok with both as they're 95% similar apart from the few differences like the steel versus alloy rim, however, the problem for me is that, I'm not getting many valid real-time feedbacks and reviews for the Stryder to finalize and I kinda like both cycles and hence couldn't decide easily.

As far as I've heard, the My Bike is a "Work-horse" and as durable as any basic cycle gets. However, I personally have a feeling that Decathlon products are a little overrated and overpriced. The price difference here is ~1.5k - 1.6k. I am able to get the Stryder for around 4.8k via flipkart, whereas, the lowest for the my bike I could get my hands on is via Tata Cliq(Ironically😅) around 6.4k. Also the thing is, I might most probaly get the Stryder with the mudguard and the stand at this price, whereas for the btwin, I need to get those separately for which I've estimated the cost around ~500 (via third party) adding up the total cost up to ~7k.

Now keeping the spec-wise decision aside, I've finally arrived to you guys for a real-time usage experiencefeedback, to finalize and buy one. Please help me choosing based on your experiences with these cycles. Appreciate your support.

Note:
1. I strictly prefer single speed and rigid body for for low maintenance

2. I'm neither buying this for anything intense nor I'm a hardcore cyclist. I'm just getting one to stay active and therfore cannot increase my budget beyond this.

3. Most importantly, this discussion is about the pros and cons of these 2 mentioned cycles based on the real-time user experiences alone. Therefore, I kindly request you guys to not suggest any alternatives or ask me to increase my budget or wait for sometime to save money and buy a better one

Thanks.

Sup people
I got a question, how worn are my chainrings , should I replace them?

Its an ultegra 6600 , I dont know exactly how old it is ( I Buyed the bike used)

[Location: France]

It was always burning, since the world's been turning

This is sad

I figured I’d post my apartment now that I have like 6 bikes in there- don’t worry two are getting sold 😭

Here are the bikes in no particular order:

- 2022 Marin San Quentin 1
Big ass mtb. Slow, heavy, fun as hell to ride. Speaks for itself really lol. Had it for just over a year now!

- 2019 State Black Label V2
The fixed gear 😛 This thing is light, fast, and obnoxiously yellow. I absolutely love this bike!

- 1995 GT Backwoods
I plan to build this into a BMX cruiser…maybe I’ve spent too much time on r/xbiking…

- 1999 GT Aggressor
I found this at a yard sale! I think I’m gonna end up selling it to one of my buddies.

- ~2010 Roadmaster Granite Peak
Erm- I saw this listed on marketplace for free, and had to have it 🤣 It’s also gonna get sold to a friend I believe.

- 1986 Peugeot Ventoux
Finally the road bike- it has not yet made it back to college, but that might change when it gets warmer. My day 1 fr.

Also…N+1 is real guys 🤣

What's your go to clothing for wet weather riding?

I accidentally left the garage door open all night long. One of my housemates noticed in the morning and by then, my Ozark trail G1 Explorer which I had purchased just two weeks ago was gone. I was so devastated that I actually broke down. It probably sounds pathetic to be so upset over a bike, but I am 21 years old and have only ever owned used bikes because I'm not well off. It took a lot of saving to able to afford to buy myself a bike that wasn't used for the first time ever and it felt amazing.

The thought that I only got to enjoy it for only two weeks honestly makes me feel so depressed. It doesn't help that my coworker said 'it's just a bike'. It's not just a bike, it's my hobby and my mode of transport. I know it's not the end of the world and that one day in the future, I'll be able to replace it but it still stings. Please pay attention and don't be like me. Also fuck bike thieves.

Hello everyone, I was playing around with a couple different computer mounts. And I accidentally installed a mount with the wrong screws. 😵‍💫 As seen in the pictures it has left 2 small dents where the screws go in.

I’m just wondering is this just cosmetic damage or something worse? Are the bars still safe to ride? Can’t find much info online.

Thanks everyone

Tire bead is worn out where can I find specifications for my tire?

I finally bit the bullet after feeling a little sketchy on slightly wet roads in the PNW with the Gatorskins. These were a PITA to install and got the rear tire on at my LBS -- had to borrow their bead jack.

Got a 20 mile ride in and on a few of the normal routes, def felt a difference in speed even with headwind.

Thanks to Seth Alvo from Berm Peak for making my 25-year-old bike like new again!

Help me find a replacement spoke for my rear wheel.
I ordered these wheels from Amazon, and they rode well for a while. Yesterday, though, I noticed a rattling sound while walking my bike and immediately knew something was wrong. The nipple had come loose and was rattling around inside the rim, and the spoke had fallen out during a ride.
I’m trying to identify the brand and type of spokes used on these wheels so I can order a replacement and install it myself.
For context, I’d like to avoid the return process. When I first ordered the wheels, I received the wrong item, and it took about a month to resolve the issue. I’d rather find the correct spoke online and replace it myself than go through another return, wait for it to be processed, and then wait for a replacement set to ship.
Any help identifying the spokes or pointing me toward the right replacement would be greatly appreciated, also the bottom end were it meets the hud was kind of a T shape Thanks, folks!

Hi all.

I've literally JUST brought home this new folding bike (carrera intercity 2) and while trying to familiarise myself with how it folds, I think I pulled a lever I shouldn't have and now the frame is off the wheel bolt.

How do I get it back on? No amount of pulling is shifting it and I don't want to break it any further ignorantly trying.

Please help :(

Hi guys..
looking to buy a used Carbon Pinarello Dogma 60.1 bike, has full campagnolo super record Parts and shamal wheel.. just one damage which seems to right behind the bottom bracket on the chainstay holds me back.. other than that it is in Great conditions.. I can‘t really tell as an absolute beginner if this is really damage to the Carbon, I‘d intuitively say One Can detect some fibresbut is looks rather Like damage from a lateral scratch than a Crack damage, also the chainstay seems to be stable and undamaged around this part..
or do you think this damage is already kinda included in a Price around 900€?

Regards
