The end of your front brake cable looks a little long. I like to cut it shorter, right about where the pad is.

nope, never. had this pair for about a year now (I ride 12 miles 5 times a week at least) and still running strong., no issues whatsoever. switched over from gatorskins and never looked back, would really recommend. these are the marathons which are bulletproof enough, i can't imagine how invincible the marathon plus must be

Is it a trick of the photo or is your rear left brake pad really out of alignment? It looks like it's canted forward/down by like 45°

>>932633
Worth to keep it 100%

>>932689

>It looks like it's canted forward/down by like 45°

That's just the way it looks on the photo. I think it's the little fin thing the Shimano brakes have underneath the brake arms that makes it look that way.

>>932690

The brake levers are actually pretty awesome once you get used to them. I didn't want to use the XT derailer, but it was the only way to get it to clear a 36 tooth rear sprocket (there are a ton of hills where we live)

10 speed indexed dura-ace downtube shifters are the shit though.

Sage posts without bumping, once a thread reaches the bump limit you can post without bumping, thus it is essentially automatically saging.

I bought this bike used but it had a major design flaw. There was extreme brake shudder with the original cantilevers. The fork would oscillate violently.

I read up on the problem, and mini-v's were a solution. So I sprung for some $20 Tektros. They were basically nonfunctional garbage. They required more cable pull than standard levers, even though they were marketed as mini-v's.

Then I met Paul of Paul Components at a bike show, and explained the problem. He verified personally to me that his brakes are designed for standard pull levers. Setting them up was a breeze, and they work like a dream.

Next is wiring up the dynamo and fixing the cable routing job.

>>932703

this looks actually quite like fun.

Most of us are trying hard with our bicycles. You're in a PYBT. Maintenance, repair, training. I am proud to try hard.

As for being insecure, being a name-caller on 4chab might be more associated with that particular trait than owning a nice leather saddle.

>*tips cycling cap*

>>932920
she took it out in the mountains yesterday and did a 1000' descent without any issues, and said it was comfortable, so that's good enough for me.

The bars are nitto north road, flipped upside down. I like it because riding by the levers is nice and upright, but riding in the 'hooks' is somewhat aggressive (not quite like drop bars though)

I'm not sure if your comment was meant as a positive or a negative.

New whip.

>>932693
how do you adjust indexing on a rd with no barrel adjuster and downtube shifters?

>>932987
Not him, but it's possible to do it manually (you just need lots and lots of patience) without any barrel adjusters (and then you have to do it again if the shifting ever comes out of adjustment, lol) .

But I think it's more likely that shifter is just being used in friction mode. Friction shifting with a cassette, chain, and derailer designed for indexing is smoooooooth.

>>932988
thats true in my experience for a 7 or 8 speed drivetrain but 9, 10, 11 the spacing is too close and you don't get that positive engagement 'thunk' when you hit a gear

Does that thing really have trektrektrektrek cranks and RD?
Looks somewhat "odd", but I still like all that white.

>>932993
That saddle looks to be either super comfortable, or a literal pain in the ass.
I'd angle the bars upwards a bit, otherwise, looks good. Put some miles into it and tell us how it rides.

>>932992
>>932988
Soma guy here. I haven't had to cross that bridge yet, but she's got a multitool in her kit. Right now it shifts perfectly. I realize that the cable will stretch, and it will need adjustment.

If you shift into the smallest cog, and then re-set the tension from there, it shifts perfectly.

I would like to add a barrel adjuster in the future. I didn't realize that the XT mech didn't have an adjuster when we bought it.

>>932992
The Dura-Ace 10sp shifters don't have a friction mode like my older 600 DT shifters do. Indexed only. I wish they had a friction mode, so that when it does eventually go out of adjustment (probably far into a long ride) you could just switch to friction. Right now, we're going to just have to deal with manually re-tightening the cable. Not ideal, but not the end of the world (yet)

My Francesco Moser i got for 175 euros last year, about to paint it fresh, change all the wiring, got some sounds coming out from bottom bracket, guess I will fix it while taking the bike apart, biggest problem with the bike is the hub body, it often skips tooth inside the body resulting in a empty spin on the pedals until it catches the teeth again, hope you understand what i'm saying. Is it possible to fix it cheaply or better just order some new shimano 7 speed cassette hub body? Also the rear derraileur is not going to the smallest cog and is bent a bit I think, is there some alternatives on 7 speed rear derraileurs with short cage? Besides those little problems, the ride is very enjoyable.

Your problems could be solved very quickly by a decent bike shop - it sounds like your derailer hanger is bent, and the cheapest solution to your hub problem would be to transplant a freehub body from an old hub (instead of ordering a new part, which would also work).

>>933543
I think pedals would be more important.

>>933829
Before having this fixie i don't think i rode more than 24h on a bike all my life (not counting learning how), so my control is not the best. With those flats i can maneuver much better than with a Bullhorn, my daily route is cramped at some places making them much more helpful.
That said, they are not good for speeding. The frame size doesn't help either.

>>933414
Dat rake. The track stem looks kinda silly. -7 degree stem with a flat bar or lower riser would look way better. Besides that it's a dope bike, would ride.

>>933819
Just looking at that bar makes my wrists hurt. There's no way that bar can be more comfy then a bar with plenty of sweep. What's up with the valve on the front wheel? Also nds fail.

>>933965
>There's no way that bar can be more comfy then a bar with plenty of sweep.
I need to pass through places i wouldn't be able to with the original bar size.
>What's up with the valve on the front wheel?
It's a blue light that goes on with impact. It rained and it's not working anymore, it was really cool.

>>933965
Also what's a nds?

>>933966
>>933968
Nds = non-drive side. Always better to take photos of your bike from the drive side.

You can always use a saw to shorten riser/flat bars to whatever width you feel is necessary for tite gaps. No need if your wrists are okay with that straight bar tho.

>>933964

Adjusting your speed to braking power available isn't exactly rocket science.

I've been riding brakeless for couple of weeks now. Had a front brake on all my earlier fixed gear bikes but since the current fork hasn't been drilled here I am. Having to rely on rear brake only means I have to approach situations at a lower speed to be able to stop if necessary. It's silly, but I guess I could argue that I'm driving more safely. Won't do it tho. Need to drill that fork asap. Riding brakeless is slowing me down. Also makes situations I can't predict way more dangerous.

>>934154
holy fuck that is nice. Take some decent sized pics one day. Also something tells me that post is too short.

>>934471
>didnt understand the comment about risk compensation
Dude, if you need to take the brakes off the bike to force yourself to ride safely, you're completely beyond any hope. Using that bullshit to justify your brakeless idiocity is frankly so retarded that you should be prevented from breeding.

If you'd at least used the 'looks cleaner and I never ride it anyway' excuse you'd have come out of it as just unsufferably pretentious and not pants-on-head retarded.

There's a new shimano 7 speed cassette on it right now, and a new chain that fits it.

Idk what a ramped freewheel is. The rear derailleur is garbage though, it's plastic. I'm just waiting for it to break. I think it's doing a decent job considering it's designed to be used with 5 cogs.

The post you quoted was my first in this thread. I'm not saying it's smart to ride brakeless. I didn't even try to justify it. If I skid underneath a bus while waiting to install that front brake then tough luck. Wouldn't hold my breath tho if I were you. Since I don't ride like an idiot with a deathwish. When I have a proper brake on my bike I will be going faster in certain situations but I still won't be riding like an idiot with a deathwish. But I guess that's too much for you to understand.

>>934646

I love my fixie but keep a front break on, I don't really use it but have it when I need to.

That said, and more importantly-

Legally if you get in an accident and are found to be riding breakless you are considered to be at fault.

imo for that reason alone it's better to have a break regardless of skill.

>>934789
I'm a different guy but I find riding fixed really fun, I went from 21 speed, to single speed then fixed and it feels really natural and I'd compare it to walking or running in the sense that to slow down or speed up your just move your legs slower or faster, no tools required, that's just my experience tho

It's an old '90s mtb. All I did was remove unnecesarry parts and stickers and put a freewheel single speed and slicks. No point in doing a paint job if it costs almost as much as all the parts, eh?

>>934802
The only reason to go SRAM is a weight weenie build with Red, or if you really like DoubleTap. The yaw FD is a pain to setup, and SRAM stuff is a lot less reliable than Shimano/Campy.

Shimano 105 + Campy Shamal wheels would be my recommendation. Getting a great wheelset will provide far more upside than shaving a couple hundred grams on the groupset.

If it were my personal bike I'd go with Campy Chorus, because I like the feel of Campy so much more than anything else, but it's an expensive option, and can be hard to get support for from shops if you don't do most of your own work.

you need to slam that stem btw

>The only reason to go SRAM is a weight weenie build with Red, or if you really like DoubleTap. The yaw FD is a pain to setup, and SRAM stuff is a lot less reliable than Shimano/Campy.
I have SRAM for a weight weenie build and I pretty much hate double tap, especially that thing it does in the biggest cog.

Yaw is by far my favorite feature of the SRAM group. It's not as fickle as the long-arm Shimano FD, which has the multiple pull ratio thing, and does not have slack in the low position so you can't adjust the low and high positions independently, which they did to reduce lever throw. The gap between high and low is pretty much set by cable pull, and lessening the gap is asking for cable rub. It also forces you to use the trim when you downshift, because it downshifts to high-low instead of low-low. I don't care how well it upshifts, that's an annoying feature when downshifting. Yaw, once you get it set no trim no rub.

There's quite a few aluminium bikes already posted (basically anything with non round tubes and welds is almost certainly aluminium) and I think I counted at least 6 carbon frames. The steel frames probably outweigh the aluminium, at least when it comes to road bikes, because they're so cheap and plentiful.

Posting carbon to up the count.

2009 Scott Aspect 40. It's good but I wish it came with disc brakes.

I get the itch to upgrade from time to time but I'm saving for a motorcycle and this thing is still serving me well, I'm learning how to maintain it as I go.

I mainly ride on paved bike trails like a savage because no mountains. If I ever replace it I'm thinking either cyclocross or used 90's mtn bike, I wish I had a rigid. I always keep my front suspension locked. Also a steel tube road bike would be cool, I wish I had an ugly but functional beater for roads.

Yeah they're Conti GP 4 seasons. The only reason I have the drops on there now instead of the pursuit bars is because my gf got me some nice carbon dioxide handlebars for christmas. I'll probably pop those pursuits onto my mini velo the project or something

>>935292
>carbon dioxide

*carbon fiber

>>935292
I love Bullhorns/pursuit but can't stand drops. I don't know why.

I want to like those bikes but the geometry is just too weird.

>>935076
Just for you, here's my CX bike with an alu frame and carpet fiber fork.

>>935101
we need an updated pic

>>935188
Lovely, how wide are those tires and do they live up to the hype?

>>935190
Ugly ass bike, but that's not your fault, whoever designed it (and those horrid decals) is to blame. What's going on with your brakes? I don't see anything to adapt the road levers to V-brakes.

>>935068
What bag is that? Looks like it's a great fit for the pizza rack?
I've got the AWOL Elite, with 105 shifters, because the tiagra shifters failed on me.
Really loving the bike so far.

>>935340
I love them too, the first bike I posted (the black/yellow one) has bullhorns that I've fashioned from a flipped and chopped mtb riser bar and some short bar ends and it's unorthodox but I love it.

I would have kept the pursuit bars on the other one too but the carbon bars are nicer and way more comfortable than I thought they were going to be

>>935342
I'll get an updated pic once I get it finished. I really need to just bite the bullet and buy the groupset asap. Plus I need to figure out finishing touches like what bar tape color to get and whatnot

Why so weird? It comfortable ass fuck, you should really consider liking them, but maybe you should need to ride one first.

>>935347
Thats just my mission workshop rucksack folded in half desu. It's held down with 2 of those heavy duty rubber band things with hooks at the ends, forgot what they are called.

>>935414
Bungee cord?

The tires on the ALAN are 32C, they are OK so far, I cycled only about 60km mostly on pavement and little bit on gravel. They are from Compass Cycles, model Stampede Pass. I already had 32C tires for about 3-4 years, I like the size.

>>935420
Yes that's the word, here they are called octopus, that's the direct translation.

>>935215

I said "drive side," honky

>>935215
nice lugged raleigh, really want one of their new CX/gravel bikes, as they seem to have gone back to what raleigh knows, simple bikes which just work forever.

>>935342
> I don't see anything to adapt the road levers to v brakes

I don't understand

>>935188
Noiceee, is that 1X10 or 1X11, how do you find it for road/cx stuff?

>>935073
woahh, never seen a vintage rigid with a straight blade fork, looks killer

Yeah I know, it's a Schwinn, but it's been good to me.

>>935604

You might enjoy the ride more if you make the seat and bars level with the ground.

Ride it into the ground. If you are loving biking but annoyed by the bike being slow/needing too much maintenance, upgrade

Are you fucking serious?

>>934672
about trek being dangerously close to terminal stage of retardation? yeah, pretty serious.

>>934471
So basically you need to add a physical handicap to yourself so you don't ride like a idiot?

>>935604
Are those trigger shifters?

>>935684
>upgrade
Both my family and my friends ridiculed me over wanting a new bike. I have an old (will post again in the next thread) trekker that I commute on for the most part, but dream about a light bike to go fast.
I have doubts about it myself, though and don't know if I would be at peace with myself after going thru with it against everyone and not making a good use of the new bike.

>>934093
fucking kobenhavnsk fladhed, så man kan kore fixed. Det er nærmest umuligt i Århus med bakkerne, med mindre man ikke har planer om andet end at rulle rundt om brabrand soen. cheers fra det jyske.

>mission workshop rucksack
That's a nice bag. I've sewn a bag myself that fits on the rack, because I couldn't find one.

>>936047
And real good quality too, its easy to stuff with stuff since it's shaped like a bag. It's completely waterproof too.

>>933574
Pls r8 guys, how shitty is it?

>>936072
Besides the bartape everything looks cheap as fuck, but it's looking nice.
I would change the pedals and crank.

>>935152
>>935156
so the top tube must be horizontal then, because it basically keeps that same angle

oh wait, its fucking not, you idiots

>>936112
That's because of the frame, not the stem.

>>936113
the stem still ends up rising though, whatever it says on the box doesn't matter when you put it on the bike and it still sticks up like a hard pecker coming out of the head tube.

>>936112
>>936114
Just because the stem ends up pointing up does not make it a riser stem. By definition a riser stem is one in which the centre of the bar ends up being above the centre of the steerer clamp, and a drop stem is the other way round.

For a stem to be truly level in the horizontal plane it needs to have a drop complementary to the head angle (for example if the head angle was 70 degrees the stem would need to be -20 degrees), but because that angle would vary depending on the frame stems are not defined as rise or drop in this way.

>>935068
where can I buy this exact bike

>>936156
It's a specialized awol. I bought it from Foxcomp in turku.

>>935684
>>935799
Yep those are trigger shifters. I'll make sure to work on the angle of the seat and handlebars. I've read that you're supposed to make an almost complete extension of your leg as you're pedaling. So that's what I was going for. Seat hurts the Gooch. That's why it's tilted a little low

>>936572
>Yep those are trigger shifters.
Pretty sick combo, triggers and drops like that.
How are you downshifting on extended breaking?

The seat shouldn't hurt your cooch, tho, but I might be unable to help you with that, Maybe get a new one in a different shape, with some cut outs or whatever?
Cheers.
