Helmets good, helmet shaming bad. Helmets are too frequently used as a way to push the blame onto the cyclists and frequently the first thing you'll read in any article reporting on an accident involving a bicycle is whether the cyclist was wearing a helmet or not.  https://twitter.com/CathyTuttle/status/1120736768368631809 edit: To hopefully get off the helmet talk that happens too frequently in the bike threads. I just threw my VO rear rack on my old commuter finally to complete the look. What the gently caress is the point of a rear rack this size? Is it even usable beyond bungee cording a outer shell on?

Yeah, my Ortliebs will hook onto it no problem, but my feet will smash into them. I have to pretty much slam them to the rear on my other one with a Tubus Cosmo to get any clearance. The small bags might work out though... CopperHound posted:You are still using those old stock parimoto's? How many did you buy? Are you still using them tubeless? 3 or 4 sets I think, I've got one more pair still. Gave up on the tubeless since they seep so bad. I am going to get some actual tubeless tires after that though if I've still got the bike, so much less to worry about.

iospace posted:Does anyone know of any tubeless, studded tires? Thanks in advance! Apparently Suomi just came out with some tubeless ones, that come in 35, 42, and 50. https://suomityres.fi/en/products/routa-tlr

I would be surprised if there is. It looks like Modern Bike sells a couple of their tires so they might be able to order them. You could try emailing Suomi, they would know for sure if they have any 'authorized' retailers, otherwise I'm sure one of the shops in Finland would be willing to ship to the states if you can make it through their website.

Generally everything will swap over, wheel compatibility is the biggest issue since we now live in the world of qr and multiple thruaxle standards. So if you're keeping the wheels make sure the new frame has the same standard.

I just got some of their Raceblades and they've been good so far. I wanted the speedrocker for the extra coverage but they're a bit big for 25s I think.

bicievino posted:Real fenders I agree with this if your bike has eyelets, much better coverage. The only thing I don't like about my new road bike is no mounting points.

  I do have a electric sprayer to spray my commuter off quickly and do proper cleans when it isn't loving cold outside though.

Definitely get the QL3.1 if you're commuting with it and need to carry it around. I had the Office-Bag for a year or so and was really happy with it. The messenger flip top would be nicer if you're mostly a fair weather rider.

BRouter is good for route planning. It uses OSM data and has a bunch of different routing options for type of riding you are doing. It's not quite as polished if you want it to stick to the popular routes because they don't have the use data that Strava/Garmin have, it'll give you weird turns sometimes. You can load the CyclOSM map in it too from the layers, it's much better at displaying bike infrastructure than base OSM, so you can easily see all the bike lanes, MUPs, etc. on the map. BRouter also has a ton of optional layer toggles to display other OSM data, like water points, toilets, etc if you want to plan any of those on your route.

Rain capes are amazing for rain commuting, but you need a decent front fender, and is they're miserable if it's windy where you are. I've been using a Cleverhood for a few years now.
