You can replace the rings individually if only one is worn. nm fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Sep 2, 2020 |

kimbo305 posted:Hunh, I didn't know that generation was square taper bottom bracket. I am probably using some wrong terminology. The BB is actually octalink... however! My wife really dislikes her bike (yay bikesdirect order years ago) and she would like to trail ride a bit with me ... so the road bike was put up for sale. Until I realized that hey, those 105 components will fit on my bike no problem. So I've swapped about 80% of what is needed so far, no fitment problems. I will just find a cheapo groupset to put on hers and put it up for sale. This is my first time ever ripping apart a bottom end on a bicycle, so much less mystery now. nm, In regard to your statement all three front chain rings were mangled and the backs were looking toasty too, I really never paid close attention to it (because I was a moron). Since I have the parts from the "donor" bike I am happy .. less money outlay right now.

Anything with a hollowtech II bottom bracket is fine, imo (with the caveat that I haven't ridden the relatively new, extremely cheap, claris-level and below 2-piece cranks). If it makes you feel better you can splurge  and get a dura ace bottom bracket

mAlfunkti0n posted:I am probably using some wrong terminology. The BB is actually octalink... however! If the crank is still ok, it is almost certainly cheaper to buy a new BB and new rings (they're standard 110/74 rings, you can use 9, 10, or 11 speed rings) than a new crank. As for the cassette, you can just stick any 9-speed cassette on there. A slightly fancier one might shift marginally better and be a few grams lighter, but there are no really fancy 9-speed cassettes anymore I think. I'd just buy the tiagra/deore or SRAM equivalent. Remember to put a new chain on.

Good to know, I'll see what BB I can find and compare the pricing of going this route. It's still kinda pricey even at the low end on groupsets for the other bike.

I crashed my dang road bike. I was cranking hard in an ascent and I realized I hadn't shifted onto my small chainring, so I did that  , and the chain dropped, and then I swerved into a concrete drainage ditch curb.Some nice road rash and a few open abrasions. The bike's fine other than two small scrapes on the drive side brake lever. rope kid fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Sep 3, 2020 |

At some point in time I'll find a better and faster bike to brag about here. It will not be anywhere near as good for the price point as the AR 1 has been for me this year.

BraveUlysses posted:still like my jamis renegade, almost had it two years! My dealer does Giant + Jamis and tried to sell me a Renegade vs. my Contend AR I like the Jamis bikes but the fact that they stick aluminum, steel, and fiber frames in the same product name range kinda turned me off as a new buyer. Giant is pretty clear on what they offer, Contend is Aluminum, Defy is all fiber. I appreciate that.

This might be a weird thread to ask in, but it's tangentially cycling related. My Favero pedals arrived today from Italy. I paid in euros and no taxes were collected. The value of the pedals was clear on the packaging but apparently they didn't get caught up at customs. Was I supposed to pay an import duty?

I hammered around Lake Tahoe today and missed the KOM by 4 minutes, hell of a ride though https://strava.app.link/n2eN1a3iw9  Started at sunrise.  Hopefully my last ride messing with clip-ons on a road bike, going to be building up a TT bike v soonish.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:Giant Contend AR 1 I'm +1ing this, I got one. The paint is good, I got the candy red and it looks pretty hot. I would counter it's not especially fast on the scale of road bikes to be honest, but it's very good and will clear a truly fat tire, but maintains road geometry so it's nice and sprightly. I couldn't deal with the gravel bikes I tried. Quite close to an aluminum version (geo-wise) of a TCR with a lot more tire clearance. Front end is a little higher but it is not a Defy, fits nicely in the middle. Tires are kinda poo poo, bartape is pure poo poo, but this is true for 90% of all bikes off the showroom floor and easily and cheaply fixable. Any competitors' bikes will be at least +$500 and have the same tape and tire problem (equivalent Emonda has wire bead tires FFS). P.S. for others reading, "carbon fork" means full carbon, including steerer. Rare at this price point. The seat post is a neat idea too.

Was tracking an auction for a NOS Shimano FC-5503 crankset to replace mine. $161 ending bid. No thanks, I’d rather just buy a new group set and update. Sheesh.
