I've seen several bikes sprayed with bedliner, and they all looked horrible, plus the finish was rough enough that it would probably take skin off in the event of a crash. I would not spray a bike with bedliner unless it was a beater bike you were planning to abuse.

>painting your bike because it has a memename
>implying anyone can tell the name from looking at the paint

Faggot!!!!!!!

"4 against 1 and we scurry away, maybe we are faggots?"

Hey, I'm the guy who yelled at you from my buddies car today, you looked like a pretty bad ass mother fucker, I felt pretty safe in the car, after you called me faggot I broke down in tears and my three friends in the car consoled me and assured me that I wasn't a faggot and you just a mean bully.

I hope to never see you riding your bicycle again because it will trigger me and I will break down in tears

Your chain is rusted
Your front tyre needs air
Your saddle is positioned poorly
You've made it a fixed gear
You don't even have taped bars
Your lock can be cut in five seconds

I hate people who listen to music on bikes. No matter what. Speakers: dirtbag tier, just seriously what the fuck. Headphones: shit-for-brains tier, you're always completely unaware of your surroundings and doing something stupid. The cops were right, you should have been tazed for resisting arrest.

inb4 this thread turns into hurr you're unaware if you ride with earbuds vs. hurr you're a coward if you ride without

It really depends on where you are. I live in New Jersey, right next to Philadelphia and when I make my commute into the city, I would never wear headphones. But on the weekends if I make my way out into the pine barrens I'll rarely see a car, so I don't feel unsafe listening to some music.

You need to unscrew the thing at the tip. Just give it a few turns. And make sure your pump is presta-compatible. Some pumps have one side for presta and another for schrader. Others you have to screw off the cap of the pump head and flip around some pieces inside.

>>947741

1st off, do you know for a fact that your floor pump can be used with presta valves?

>>947741
>Am I supposed to unscrew it all the way to the top when pumping it? Just halfway?
If by "all the way" you mean screw it til it comes off, you shouldn't be able to do that. It only screws a few rotations at most then you won't be able to turn it anymore. So just loosen it all the way til you can't turn it any more. Also, after unscrewing it, before putting the pump head on it, it's a good idea to tap the head of the valve stem with your finger. Sometimes it'll be stiff and this can loosen it up.

Staying the fuck out of the saddle for the worst bumps

>sprung brooks
When I say "brooks type" I mean something like pic related, if you're too fat for this, just get a full suspension mountain bike with big ass knobby tires, that's what all the fatties in my area ride.

Also notice the part about "stay out of the saddle", but, again, sprung brooks means you are fat, and if you are fat, go full sus with a suspension seatpost as well, because you are not strong enough to stay out of the saddle.

How amateur is your team? Do they use standardized equipment? How many burritos do you feed them post races?

What is your doping protocol?

What is your name, and what is the name of the team and of all of the riders you are helping?

I like to watch Velodrome racing. Most of the ones I go to I'm racing in though so I don't get too much time to watch..... Last year I got the flu from my coach before my racing started at one race I traveled to race in. So I got to sit in the stands and watch the racing instead of being in it, that was nice. And I'm sure I infected large numbers of fans.

To be treated like a sandwich jockey who doesn't get any tips

>>947121

exactly this>>947122

I worked there for a few months at the beginning of last semester and the employees/managers were total shit, and because the food was so cheap, you hardly get any good tips. The best part was being alone on the bike rides, but damn, is that worth it?

>>947392
>>947122
You get more tips if you aren't sweaty and don't look like a slob. Both are extremely unappetizing.

I've also been thinking about a cargo trike project, as the Bakfiets I made ended up handling like big, slow, ass. Or possibly a long bike.

Also, barring high speed use, ground clearance, etc. Is there an issue with using smaller (say 20" or smaller) wheels instead of 26" for a project?

>>946966
those will be nice to sweep kids off their feet

Bikes have shit resale value. I posted my bike up for sale at 70% and got no replies.

Prime example of why I tell people to never get a new bike when first getting into cycling.
