mAlfunkti0n posted:Was tracking an auction for a NOS Shimano FC-5503 crankset to replace mine. $161 ending bid. No thanks, I’d rather just buy a new group set and update. Sheesh. There's a cult following on those, but $161 is too much even then, unless it's black. Again though, why are you buying a crank? The rings are replaceable and cheap. Like a set of 110/74 chainrings should cost like $50 if you go cheap. nm fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Sep 5, 2020 |

mAlfunkti0n posted:It had been $28 when I was watching up until 30 minutes before it ended. An LBS should be able to get some cheap rings from QBP for not much money. I'm wrong on the size, they're 130/74, not 110. That put my estimate off a bit, but like $70. You can probably find cheaper. I tried to do the outer rings silver as I assume you have a silver crank. https://www.modernbike.com/origin8-130mm-5-bolt-alloy-blade-chainrings-52t-8-9sp-silver https://www.modernbike.com/origin8-130mm-5-bolt-alloy-blade-chainrings-42t-8-9sp-silver https://www.modernbike.com/shimano-sora-3503-30t-74mm-9-speed-chainring-black You can also play with your gearing a lot and do something different.

Leaning towards the Orbea or the new Aeroad if it becomes available by the time I purchase, but we are also furnishing a new house so I need to see where the dust settles on my budget. I told myself I wouldn't buy the new bike until I ride a 100 miler with the old one so that's what I'm waiting on. I've got virtual running events this weekend and next so the riding will pick up again in 2 weeks (probably).

   Second time on the cliples pedals and I feel more confident clipping in and out. Also i think my rear derailleur hanger got hosed on my big crash last week so I need to get a new one.

They've got Velcro adjustment straps and leave them relatively loose, no luck. Clipping out when I can coast helps. I barely managed fifty miles on relatively level ground. I don't know if its something I need to adjust to or they're just poorly fitted. I'll ride on Wednesday with the toe clip pedals I used before but the new shoes, to see if the clipped in / out comfort difference lasts for an appreciable amount of time

The Di2 front derailleur noise is jarring as hell to hear from someone else’s bike. I thought they were having some sort of catastrophic failure that was going to send them flying into me

It's a forum for computer professionals but everyone there hates computers and technology from being burnt out at work so we just talk about warhammer, bikes, cats, and how everyone is named James.

I can't afford a $40k+ Colnago Master Pista Futura 2000 Edition so I painted my own It started life as a Trek Madone that I crashed and cracked the top tube a little bit, so I patched it thinking it would be good enough just to show around once in a while but now it's all I want to ride

I'm looking to get a bike for general fitness and biking to work. I'm looking at the Trek Dual Sport 3. It's in my targeted price range, looks like it does what I want it to do, and their a store nearby that mainly stocks Trek. Do you guys have any other ideas that I should take a look at? I live in California, the bay area.

Just be aware that hybrid/fitness bikes in common sizes are probably not in stock anywhere.

I live in California, the bay area. The suspension fork is kind of superfluous. More weight that it's worth in 95% of on-road conditions. This is slightly cheaper and gonna be lighter: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/hybrid-bikes/fitness-bikes/fx/fx-3-disc/p/28474/ Only downside is that they choose to spec it with 32mm tires, which is skinnier than the FX can handle and not the cushiest. The shop might be able to swap some 35s on there for you.

My bike got stolen  I lost my Kona Sutra because I was an idiot and left it on my car parked overnight in a hotel parking lot in the central valley while on a road trip. Obviously now I need a new bike since that way my daily driver for 3 years - commuter, bar bike and weekend road bike.I also just moved from SF to LA and I think I'm going to give up road biking and just do gravel stuff due to where I live and what's easy to get to, so I need some bike recommendations for a gravel bike. I'm a big dude who's not great at climbing and I really liked having a triple (3x9) to have a granny gear to get me up hills, but it seems that a lot of the gravel bikes now are 1x. I don't remember exactly which cassette and chainrings I had so I can't easily calculate, but it seems that there are 1x12s that have as wide a gear range. So I guess what i'm looking for is recommendations for drop-bar steel gravel bikes with braze-ons in the $2k-3k range, preferably brands that don't sell to law enforcement (so no Kona, Trek et c). Ideas so far have been All-City Nature Cross, Cosmic Stallion or Gorilla Monsoon along with Salsa Journeyman and Vaya. edit: I've always been eyeing the Surly Cross-Check back when I got my first german aluminum cross bike in 2012, and the midnight special is purty too. luminalflux fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Sep 7, 2020 |

My bike shop in Sacramento has a size run of Vaya 105s in purple in stock. Purple. They only really clear 50s though.
