You need to clean your chain properly and thoroughly before lubing it. Also what was the last time you pulled off your cassette and cleaned it, and pulled off your crankset and thoroughly cleaned the chainrings (which may require disassembling them from the cranks)? You can't expect a dirty drivetrain to perform properly, and just throwing some lube at it won't do it.

Also I've used the lube in your pic and didn't like it, I prefer pic related instead.

Yes and no. Casual bike thieves will be deterred by a proper lock, but less casual ones will recognise that it's valuable and go at it with powertools.

You need to secure both wheels and the frame if you're going to be more than 10 seconds away from it. Those deep dish wheels are basically a 'I'm expensive' mark.

Yes. If you leave it unattended in public for more than a few seconds, plan to never see it again. Use that bike when you go out to ride and just ride and won't be leaving your bike. Get an old (80s or 90s) steel bike on Craigslist for commuting. >>>/n/bbg can help you pick one out. Road or mountain depending on use (mountain is nice if you'll be only doing short commutes and commuting in snow/ice/etc, road is nice if doing longer commutes and adventure rides)

There's also thieves who'll steal the shifters and brakes, seatpost and pedals too. Possibly the derailleur too.
All you'd need to steal that stuff is a multitool and some cable snippers. And if it's got 'dura ace' or whatever the SRAM and campagnolo high ends are then they sell for hundreds.

It's an overdrive pro 27.5

Just ride and form your own opinion. It'll be months before you notice why it could be a bad bike but until then enjoy the fuck out of it.

>>1090077

Diamondback is an unusual brand.

They make the full range from literal trash all the way up to top-tier full suspension monsters.

>>1090078

The overdrive pro 27.5 is a very, very good bike. The REBA is enough fork for anyone but the most hardcore professionals. You have thru-axles front and rear and a tapered headtube so stiffness will be top-notch. Hydraulic discs, clutched derailleur, etc.

You're set for a good long time.

Oops. I meant for that to go in /bqg/ sry but whatever.

You'll need the tire width too. Inner tubes are sold as something like '700c x 23' where 23 is the tire width.

700c x tire width. Tubes usually have a range of widths, like 700x25-28. Tire width printed on sidewall usually.

From a distance yours look like 25's-

>>1089762
yeah, it looks gay as fuck.

>UCI

Found the problem.

looks like a bike for edgy 12 year olds haha really a GAY bike!

don't, you'll regret it

get last year's model cannondale synapse for a similar price

>>1089545
Lowest I saw a 2016 Cannondale Synapse for was 600 which isn't a similiar price to 400. Am I a retard and looking in the wrong place?

>>1089497
Just download more fork rake faggot!

>>1089497
>wah-wah i cant handle toe overlap
learn2bicycle retard

Whose fucking idea was it, and why did the industry buy it, that the wheels need to be no more than 1 meter apart otherwise the bike is unsteerable?
You can't get a modern bike without toe overlap and your heels rubbing against the chainstays because muh 5mm shorter tail.

Not sure what your budget is but crank brothers makes pretty good flats.

https://www.crankbrothers.com/category/pedals/

Flat ones are at the bottom.

too late, I already got not so chink pedals.
I hope they at least last a little longer.
I am already at my 4th pair in two years.

>>1089433
ikr. the (((chink))) manipulates me into spending large amounts of money on aliexpress

You know how to weld aluminium?

I've got a great place where you can start.

Well, sadly not. But thanks mate!

Enjoy your dead lungs

Rear side

some sort of security system? could be factory but most luckily Aftermarket. I don't know if early Subaru's where easy to steal or just a theft magnet because of how fast / robust they where (or both).

It doesn't have much going on, it looks like some kind of voltage regulator, or power supply.
Best bet is that it was supposed to power something.

Do you west coast faggots have flea markets?

>poor person in Cali

Shocking.

>>1088349
At least I'm in Cali

>>1088348
Yeah but they are just opportunities for the poor people to rip off white hipsters with their old shit

Spend it on my bike

Subway. Driving in traffic is infuriating. Plus I'd stand on the subway cause /fit/

Anytime I see a dingus on a folding bike, March of the Gladiators plays in my mind

>>1086965
Why are those small wheeled bikes so cool?

only old men can achieve such an aura. I think it is a product of being completely done with fashion and married. I have not yet reached bike clothenlightenment though so take my words with a grain of salt.

>>1085629
IMO cleated road shoes are basically required.

>>108563
What do you mean exactly? The shoes in the OP are cleated, with SPD shoes instead of SPD-SL.

Don't bother. There is no real reason to use Road shoes over MTB shoes for a normal person.

Thanks so much for the blog post. Now go kill yourself.

>>1084558
I just yell beep-boop or meep-meep.

Screeching brakes or music played on loudspeaker works too.

I rattle the brake levers when i don't want to be so loud to scare pedestrians.

>>1084558
I just yell "ACHTUNG!" verry loud, the get scared and go out of my way.
