kimbo305 posted:I'd double check that the creak isn't coming from any of the cable stops near the head tube. Decently easier check to grease those and see if the creak goes away / changes. Yeah this, I had a creak from where a cable entered the frame, I'd always notice it as I was carrying the bike and the handlebars turned fully one way

Isn't that the kind of part an lbs would have a lot of spares knocking around from wheel and hub changes?

spf3million posted:I went on a big ride yesterday, haven't got the motivation for a trip report yet, but today I'm especially sore only in my quads and calfs. Nothing in the glutes, hamstrings or hip flexors. I assume this is because I have terrible pedalling habits. I got into biking using flat pedals and became a masher. Now that I have clipless pedals, I still rarely do any kind of pulling around from 6-12 o'clock unless I'm actively thinking about it. I also assume that if I were to practice enough eventually it would become more natural. Pulling up really isn't much benefit on clipless as you are probably pushing down way more on the opposite side The real benefit is getting over the dead point at 12/6 o'clock. Try concentrating more on pulling your foot back at the base of your stroke, or as I heard someone very elegantly describing it as 'scraping poo poo off your shoe'

Can someone remind me what tape code name I'm searching for that works really well as a tubeless rim tape?

You can use the hoods in an aero or comfortable position though, its not like its just one or the other Either way I really don't ride fast enough to care much, I was just sticking an oar in for the sake of discussion

gohuskies posted:One time I kept pumping it up for awhile just to get through the rest of my ride but otherwise I've put two new tubes in there and it's currently flat waiting for me to put in a third. It's an old rigid MTB with 26x1.95 knobby tires, which don't appear to be sold super often nowadays. I bought it used so I have no idea how old the tires are - it was from a trustworthy used bike shop but I don't know how it got to them and if they did anything to it before I got it besides a round of basic maintenance. Instead of something sharp puncturing the tube there could be a small split in the tire the tube is pushing out of

115km posted for the first day, went up two big hills, just under 1400m of climbing. Was below zero up on top of both of them. Nippy, especially the descents Not riding tomorrow though, plenty of time without xmas day   You'd never have guessed it was late December in Wales from the pictures, glorious day

Easier one today, just enough to keep on track and fitting in the small window I had before Storm Bella rolls in. The Vale of Glamorgan is still pretty flooded, got very wet feets

402 done after today. Front derraileur went ping 16km from home Pissing rain by that point obviously, highest gear being 34x23. So depressingly slow  I'll be able to fix it by tomorrow but at least it happened today and not an hour out the door in the morning

F500 finished off with the usual hill reps a little group of us do on a Thursday night. As no one else was silly enough to be doing it on NYE at -2oC I picked up 4 of the local legends we all trade each week and have a good lead in all of them So a solid result all round

You could swap out the hex bolt for a security one, there's loads of different ones if you google them A torx bolt might even do if that's too much effort though

Nitrousoxide posted:Speaking of clip-on peddles, do those help with endurance when riding? I would imagine they do help because you can apply force with your legs on both the upstroke and downstroke of the peddle, meaning you can either apply about twice as much force over the same duration, or can apply the same force, but split it over two entirely separate muscle groups rather than just the muscles used for the downstroke? As has been mentioned pulling up isnt really a thing, but pulling back at the dead point at the bottom of the stroke definitely is You'd be surprised how much effort you save just by not having to physically keep your feet on the pedals though

Quick everyone, tell them why they are wrong, repeatedly and in a sanctimonious way, it’s been at least 12 hours, don’t let it drop! If you continue posting about stuff you clearly know very little about, don't get offended when people point out you are wrong You've been acting like you're the authority on all forms of biking recently with very little to back it up

Literally Lewis Hamilton posted:I love the Varia radar and can’t imagine riding without it now tbh. Urban environments I’m sure it’s going off constantly but out in the country it’s invaluable. I’d say 75% of the riders I’m with have one at this point. Having never used one or seen one in the wild I'm willing to take your word for it, but at the same time I'm struggling to think of a situation my ears wouldn't work just as well What makes it so useful?

Literally Lewis Hamilton posted:It works way further out than my ears can hear, especially if there’s oncoming traffic causing noise. It shows how many cars are coming up from behind so I can adjust speed if I’m making a turn across traffic. Oh I didn't realise it could pick out individual cars, that's cool

gohuskies posted:What I want from a computer is to load in a route from Strava or Ride With GPS, for it to give me the directions for the route as I ride, and then to track all the data accurately for upload, and that's it. The Wahoo Bolt delivers that. This is me too (original ELEMNT though). I don't know if it's got any better recently but going by experiences from weekly group rides of 10-15 peeps a year back pre covid, everyone wahoo had the advertised route on them without fail, barely anyone on their garmins as it was too much hassle, especially for the older boys and girls

I've never felt like I needed road names when following a route, its not like anything outside of the city even has any which is where I do most of my cycling Even navigating within civilization im not using names for getting around . Just 'turn next left' or whatever
