Can I use a long cage rear mech w/ no clutch for a 1x10 conversion? 32, 11-42 I'm going to try it anyway.

Is it still acceptable to use loose ball-bearing on bike pedals?

I will need to replace my pedals soon, but these loose balls are better than a cartdrige ball bearing?

How useful is a bike fitting? I'm buying a new bike and there's a shop offering a fitting included with the price of the bike- is it worth it?

90s Rigid MTB w/ Slicks

Why would you buy a trainer when you don't even have a bike
Might as well get a stationary bike

Hahahah dont get a bike cheaper than your trainer

The trainer in your pic related is the best one though. Pretty quiet

>>1042740
Yeah do this OP. A good stationary bike will be better than a cheap $200 + $500 turbo.

Also, even if some turbo trainers are quiet, don't expect wonders. They're all noisy, and not ideal if you want to watch a movie

Ironically they prove Darwin correct despite that they would probably have disagreed with him in life.

>>1041633
>Implying Mr. Darwin was an atheist.

Can't Sikhs make special helmets that can be worn over a turban?

I used to think they were memes until I rode one. Now I own a Pugsley. You'll want to use a hydration pack instead of bottles, because the bottles freeze. If you start sinking through the snow then lower your tire pressure a little.

Otherwise have fun, it's just a bike.

>specifically groomed for fat biking
aka flat, slow and boring

>>1040547

Thats what I'm skeptical about actually. Supposedly there is about 30mi worth of grommed trail and a good amount of advanced lvl stuff so hopfully its legit

>>1038336
Looks good. what did you make your mudflap out of? I tried making one out of an old tube and it looks like hot garbage.

>>1038339
not him, but it looks like fenders that come with one

>>1038339
>>1038341
thanks, my mudflap is made from a scrap piece of vinyl mat, and it's actually an extension attached to the pathetically undersized rubber flap that came stock on these fenders

Needs more spokes.

Swaggy as in cool or as in stupid and gimmicky?

You didn't fuck up too bad. imho. People will shit on you but they're idiots

The glaring problem is that the handlebar is set up terribly. Come back here and ask before you tape it up

Components on this bike are going to crap out on you sooner than most people here would find acceptable.

But for a trail run on cycling you did okay

Remember that you bike has shitty tires that make it slow and get more flats, and a rough seat. And the wheels wobbling is a quality issue. A good bike won't have these problems. So don't blame cycling

Just ride this into the ground. If you love it, upgrade to something in the $700+ range. You did okay. A $200 used bike might have been a better choice but there's a good chance of getting ripped off if you aren't already knowledgeable

>>1042492
It's allright as long as it works and you don't abuse that bike. The wheels are probably the worst part of that bike, and personally I dislike that bars.

Pacific cycles makes most department store bikes. If you have ever ridden a department store bike you might not have went for one with a carbon fork. Or it could be perfectly fine, i'm rootin' for you OP- dun die.

I got news for you. Ships can go from China to Europe and America for centuries.

- He tells stories in each video instead of just rolling boring footage.

- He has a general "let's try it and see what we can find out" attitude

- Doesn't brag

- His experience doing BMX and riding street as a kid sets him apart.

Not as good as Skills with Phil

I used to live in Miami and I'm sad I never got to meet up and ride with him
