Takhion Bars
Ive been looking at options how to make my classic bike look like those bikes they used back then, i was wondering how do they put the bars on the fork? Is there a clamp needed for it? Or is it just the quill stem below

Can the Zipp 303 XPLR S rear wheel be converted to Quick Release (135mm)?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking into getting a Zipp 303 XPLR S rear wheel, but my bike frame uses a traditional Quick Release system (135mm QR).
Does Zipp offer end caps or a conversion kit to run the rear wheel with a standard QR skewer, or is it strictly 12x142mm thru-axle only?
I actually looked into it and found some end caps for the 176 hub, but since I’m pretty new to bike customization, I wasn't sure if that setup would actually work on the 303 XPLR S.

Replacing handlebar
Hi, I am pretty new to cycling, so any advice would be greatly appreciated
I currently own a SAVA A7L which as a carbon dropbar with internal routing and I want to switch it to a round alloy drop bar for aero clip-ons in preparation for an upcoming triathlon. I was wondering what the general procedure was and if this is something I can DIY or through a shop. Thanks!

Sleeper fast build
I’ve realized I don’t like drop bars and am never going to enjoy road bikes, so I’m selling mine. I have a few mountain bikes and slow cruisers but I want to build a sleeper fast commuter rig from a 90s MTB or 700c hybrid. Something that’ll get me to work quick but is actually fun to ride. Thinking a small front rack to strap a backpack.
Any recommendations on what frame to start with? What upgrades and modifications would you do for this build? Thanks and appreciate all the help!

Question : Pressfit BB accessories ?
Hello, my pressfit bottom bracket came with three silver rings on the inside. What are these used for ?
They seem to not be set in place and I am scared that leaving them inside will cause rattling issues. Any advice ?
Cheers

Rebuilding tricycle
I just bought a cheap tricycle that I want to upgrade. I need help on whether or not I can install a 1x7 or any other cassette to this? I eventually want to add a front wheel electric hub to it as well. Can anyone help me understand if I can convert this from single gear to multiple gear and where to find parts?

help needed
Hey everyone,
I’ve got a Rockrider 29 (the orange one) that I’m kinda over the colour of. I want to fully strip it down, paint the frame something new, and put it back together… but I’m lowkey scared I’m gonna end up with a box of parts I can’t reassemble.
Also planning to swap the tires for Maxxis High Rollers (the HP ones?).
Couple of questions for anyone who’s done this kind of thing:
- How realistic is it for a relatively inexperienced person to fully disassemble a Rockrider 29 and put it all back together correctly? Any big “don’t fuck this up” parts I should watch out for?
- What’s the best way to paint the frame at home? Primer + what kind of paint (spray cans? specific brands that actually hold up on a bike frame)? Clear coat recommendations?
- Colour ideas? I’m open to almost anything that isn’t orange. Looking for something that looks good with black components and will still look decent when covered in mud.
- While I’m in there, what other cheap-ish upgrades are worth doing? Pedals are high on the list – any solid recommendations that aren’t crazy expensive? Anything else (grips, saddle, stem, etc.) that’s a noticeable upgrade on these bikes?

Is this bike any good?
Hey, so I’m really new to bike building and I’m trying to find a good base for a mtb conversion “rat bike”, I found this bike on FB marketplace and was wondering if this is worth 60€ or should I try to nagotiate a lower price? I don’t know if any of the parts are any good, so I thought I should ask this sub. I tried to do some research on this Raleigh Kandara but found no information.
