It was your friend's fault for not controlling his crotchspawn

Why are kids always given a free pass?

That little shit owes you a new wheelset, you're a pussy if you don't beat it out of her

can a simple 4chan browsing poorfag not get together with his friends

Have you tried adjusting the tension of the shifter cable?

If not, delete this thread. There us usually a little knob that you spin to adjust it. It's usually near the shifter itself. Turn your bike upside down, adjust, test and repeat.

How did you mantain the chain in the past months/years?

is the bike used?

Because it seems like you got a worn out cassette.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

>>962106
how can you tell that they're 27"? genuinly curious

A decent wheelset is expensive, and youd need to buy some new tools or pay someone to swap everything over.
BB height would go to shit too.
Ifthe bike is too big its because you bought the wrong size, not because of the wheels. I ride 29s with my paltry 5'7"

I bought a Large frame Cannondale Scalpel (OP related)

Perhaps the frame is just too big? Once I get going I crank on it but its a lumbering monster at low speeds

>>964848
I had the same issue, what really fixed it for me was swapping my stem for a shorter one. Went from a 100mm to a 60mm, and it handles better than my old 26" now.

You could have picked up a Canyon Ultimate CF SLX if you weren't such a disgusting ameriblob, but given that your only choices are Trek, Motobecane, and a GMC Denali, I can see why you went with the cage

Not sure buying an import that old is ever a good idea. I've heard plenty of horror stories about people buying used VWs and getting crushed by part cost for even simple repairs.

And why exactly would you "disrespect" them? Are you planning on smoking weed at the same time you ask cops for help?

>>964322
I don't know. They could smell or something, and I think it would just make me feel dishonest.

>>964323
Well, in your first post you said you'd be smoking pot to help with the post-ride aches and to help you sleep, which would mean you'd be smoking at night. Since you'll be talking to cops before this, it shouldn't be a problem.

Though the thread does belong in this board, I think /out/ would know about this more than /n/.

On topic, I once saw a huge canoe that sits 4 abreast. Don't know how the two in the middle paddle.

I have a canoe. So much more agile than a row boat. And much more fun.

Usually take it out by the lake at my cabin during the summer. Occasionally in the sea by my home. Have done a few trips down different rivers with my brother. Plan to do an overnight trip from the cabin back to home this summer. Should be able to do ~175 km in 2 or 3 days down a gently flowing river right?

Can kayaks be in this thread? I've been thinking maybe i should get a kayak to complement the exercise i get from cycling.

Post your local Craigslist

That bike would work but it's kind of a last resort

the question of a good new road bike for the price of less than $250 is a tricky one, because it's not a good bike, and nothing in that range is, so it's hard to say whats better or worse.

like nobody here can really determine what all the shimano shit below claris-tier is worth.. because it's like... what even is that?

>>964862
bro you gotta understand /n/s a slow moving board, you posted about this in /bbg/ and got some answers. go with the dawes, it's got wider tires but is otherwise the same bike.
lurk moar and learn to be patient

I thought squids were the freds of the motorcycle world. Or is it the joeys of the motorcycle world?

I would think it would be those dickheads with "loud pipes"

They are the airsofters of the motorcycle world.

why does cycling have bike weight limits?

just looked up the answer

Depends.
Pump track/flow trail with small hills? You'll be fine.

Chairlift park on a big mountain? Not such a great idea. You'll probably be fine but it won't be much fun and you might boil your brakes.

I don't know anything about Windham. Do they have beginner-appropriate singletrack?

If you're talking about a local dirt jump park you'll be fine. I've gone dirt jumping on pic related so that bike will be good

this is the type of trail ill be doing.

Those two are pretty similar bikes - the main difference is that the Fondo has a slightly longer wheelbase and toptube, meaning the Sportif will have slightly snappier handling, while the Fondo will require slightly less effort of out you to keep it pointed in a straight line (beneficial on a long ride, and when riding at higher speeds).

Frankly I think you'll be fine either way, so go with your gut and get the Fondo.

Sup /n/aggers, yet another bike noob here.

Is this worth 290 freedom dollars?

Worth is not an objective quantifier. It all depends on you own situation; needs, requirements, expectations, finances, future plans, local availability.

If you took it into a bike shop, they'd probably say that they would ride on it but don't be surprised if the sidewall blows.

Move it onto the rear wheel, a rearwheel blow isn't dangerous, a front wheel blow can kill you if you're going fast/downhill.

No, your depth of focus is too shallow

Yeah it's called bikeforums.

isn't this sheldon? i still don't get the circlejerk about him, just because he wrote down numbers he seems to be a god

>>963192
He popularized the idea that you can be a serious cyclist without being a racer

that nigga looks like straight carbon

kindly thank him for taking that trash out to the bin.

I don't know why blacks waste their time and money getting tattos that are barely visble.
