Riding actual drop bars made me stop caring about monstercross, dirt drops and the whole drop bars with fat tires retardation that seems to be taking off lately.
Drops are good for one thing only, going fast in a straight line, that's it.
You won't go fast on this bike, you won't be comfortable, you won't have good control offroad and your brake and drivetrain components will cost twice as much for no good reason.

>>1081593

Are those 22mm stanchions?
I dunno. Seems like if you need them, the tiny rotors are probably too tiny? Unless that's for better modulation?

Not the tire tread I would generally prefer for cross, either. Looks good for flowing rock but not much else? Definitely bad for mud.

I get nervous doing ordinary stuff on drop bars. I like them for riding on the bike trail and trying to go as fast as I can. I can stay in the drops for long distances but that's not really the point. Riding in traffic and looking behind me is less enjoyable, riding off of stuff, over stuff, etc. doesn't work as well. I highly prefer flat/riser bars for commuting.

It's not galvanic corrosion by definition, even if it is similar. It's also easy to prevent and is not inherent to all carbon fibre parts, unlike using two different metals.

>>1081947
>It's not galvanic corrosion by definition
It is. It is galvanic corrosion, by very definition. Carbon fibres are conductive and galvanic elements. It is commonly accepted that carbons interaction - while not a metal - is to be classed as galvanic corrosion. Your personal autism-speak definitions are irrelevant. Please look at this anodic index and see carbon listed - as per usual:

Yeah, PVD seems like the sort of weirdo who'd be all over Mr. Ultraromance's bars.

I'm also perplexed why PVD keeps riding that bike with 35-45mm gravel grinder tires. He fully admits that his forward geo isnt ideal XC riding, and he built the bike with clearance for a 2.25" in the rear, so why run it with skinny tires? Hardtails really benefit from throwing on the highest volume tire that will fit.

Not exactly.

Merckx-branded frames weren't actually ridden by Eddy, but they are highly regarded top-tier frames that were ridden by pro teams in the late eighties. They're especially desirable today because of their iconic paint schemes, and because they imply that the rider is part of the cognoscenti who takes riding seriously and is aware of the history of cycle racing.

yeah, because they're cheap and easy to find used

>>1083005
Eh, no. We've already have parallel and divergent trends with cyclocross, gravel and monstercross type bikes used for fire roads, flow trails and singletrack. What might change with the ever changing fashion and interest is the market share and mind share balance between the various styles, but we will not see XC bikes going back to 70° HA and 15 cm stems like we once had, because they can't handle the terrain that has become XC riding. The gentler, flowier riding style niche is accounted for already. There's not one big all-ruling trend in the off road world like there was in the 80's and 90's. If you want a twitchy gravel monster with 650b semislicks it's already available.

It's stock. It's a Pace fork, they did that on a couple models. The legs are carbon fibre and the brake post is on a separate aluminium piece, probably bonded in place.

Please say you're fucking with me

>>1083385
I did some googling and all I found were a scattering of posts asking if it was worth the money, and then one thread where the dude gave a pretty intense review, which said it was a good value (which I think is a stretch, and i take his mechanical aptitude with a grain of salt because he uses the phrase "gooseneck"), and that he was pleased with his purchase. Of course, he mentioned that he had to replace the brake pads, adjust most of the bearing surfaces, and fiddle with pretty much every system before the bike was mechanically sound. So if you are a talented mechanic or at least comfy working on bikes, it can be made to work.

As a bike tech, I've worked on multiple GMC Denali bikes and while they aren't exactly as bad as a Huffy Aerowind, I don't consider them to be good bikes. Maybe it is because I only see the bikes after life has chewed them up. They don't get preventative maintenance like good bikes get. They get the ER trauma care treatment.

The last time I had to work on one, the driveside cup on the rear wheel had separated from the hub shell (cheap hubs are usually just a steel cub pressed into a steel shell, prone to breaking free under great load or poor adjustment). The parts are very cheap, and without a ton of time and labor invested into the bike, it won't hold up very well.
If you are looking for a commuter, the money would be better spent on an older mountain bike. If you are looking for a road bike, save your money and get something like a closeout bike from bikeisland. If i had to give it praise, I would say the GMC frame is lightish, I guess?

>wtf why isn't there more golored garbon out there?

I honestly don't know why it's THAT rare, because even thought it's obviously easier for manufacturers to get black one, since they don't make it on their own and it's a standard, you would expect to see it from time to time on some stupidly expensive bikes. It wouldn't even be hard, because it's just an outer layer with a translucent paint slapped on. You could probably do it yourself to any bike, carbon skinning is pretty easy, you would probably gain 100g max on the frame from one layer.

too much HA, anything apart from radical downhills is sluggish with that pronounces forward geometry. also, front wheel washouts can become a problem with that much slack.

Nope

for the time being I have only some platform stuff, I'm thinking about some clipless solution, I feel not so secure on platforms when I'm spinning my crank >90 per minute.

Pic related is recommended?

>>1087067

I have only ever ridden platforms (see>>1085340
), until I switched to clipless mtb recently (see>>1086496
)

There's a big difference - not just in not slipping off the pedals, but mainly in power transfer.

Of course - i did fall over my first time out (classic - pulled over to help out a fellow cyclist who needed a pump, and forgot to unclip).

The pedals you posted look like some hybrid platform/clipless. Looks a bit weird. You might want to try just regular mtb clipless (the reasoning is that mtb shoes are more comfortable to walk in), or regular road pedals.

Obviously, I'm no expert, only did 60km on clipless so far (1 ride), but there's a big difference.

Steel bikes are almost completely absent from UCI track. They're still in use in Keirin because it's heavily regulated with the aim of maintaining an arena to gamble on, rather than seeking out the best athletes. Furthermore, it's wrong to conflate track riding with fashionistas' one-time fascination with the track bike.

>"That was my first full suspension design for Bianchi, the one that Museeuw rode to eventual embarrassment at Paris-Roubaix," said Matt Harvey, product manager for Bianchi USA at the time and now the head of Enduro Bearings. "I eventually did two designs at Bianchi, but this one was probably the best. [It was] a two-inch short travel design that could be used for cross-country MTB and a road bike. It only had two pivots, relying on the seat stays to flex a couple of degrees, making a much stiffer rear end that didn't wag around. This was also the eventual problem, because a cromoly rear end can flex thousands of cycles this small amount whereas the Italian factory, against my pleading, made it out of 6061 [aluminum] without heat treating it."
