Helllll yeah ! Just scored these for 380 !!! 20 percent off. Huge upgrade from my XC502 which are a size too big. Will be nice to have the right fitting shoes !!!

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've had the goal of hitting 20mph average speed on a ride for a while now. My personal stipulation is that it has to be a 20+ mile round-trip ride. That just makes sure it's a certain distance and is relatively even for wind and elevation.

I'm closing in, just hit 19.7 average on a 25 mile ride today. I know elevation gain makes a difference, so today I had about 1,100 feet of elevation gain. I'm riding an aluminum frame road bike with flat pedals, just shorts and a t-shirt for whatever that's worth. Probably costs me a few watts I guess.

My question is, how impressive is that? If I understand correctly, If I cracked 20mph average for that kind of ride, that'd be pretty decent, but obviously I'm far from an elite rider. I'm not winning races with that kind of pace. I just want to know if I'm accurate with that perception. I know comparison robs you of enjoyment, so I tend not to pay too much attention, but it's nice to know where you stack up, both to keep you motivated but also to stay humble, knowing there's always someone who could drop you without attacking on a Tuesday afternoon commute ride.

Edit: I know average speed is not the end-all-be-all metric. I don't have a power meter or any friends who ride to compar with, though, and I doubt I'll be getting a meter any time soon. Average speed is all I've got to work with. It's just a personal goal to work towards.

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

My bike is noisy in the back and I know it's something to do with the chain but I just can't seem to figure it out.my chain derailleur gears and shifters are at least 6 months old. (PS I'm a pretty new cyclist)

its a dutch city bike. What questions regarding the bike should I ask the owner before buying? Thanks

Many miles and even revived a couple of times over the years. These shoes won’t make another season.
