You’re not wrong.

BMX shoes are not going to be stiff compared to the Five Tens. Bmxers want to feel the pedals under their feet.

I really like the look of the Fox Union shoes, but haven’t been able to try them on so I have no idea how much room is in those shoes. they have a cool looking mid-top model too.

I think it has to do with the padded collar to protect the ankle bones a bit. My ~10 year old pair is still trucking along just fine, though. I’ve got a new pair of RideConcepts whatevers waiting for their turn, still.

Would.

i’m partial to these guys but without trying them on, not willing to throw down the dough.

Those look hot.

Might be time to give Fox a try.

Yeah, those are sick.

I hate the way they look on my feet, but they’re real comfy and grippy, so they’re somewhat forgiven

I picked up some used trp brakes from @runwhatyabrung and had them installed on the ebike a while back.
I bedded them in and they felt fine, but first descent i rode them on last month the front one started feeling shitty. Just really grindy and uneven feel. Doesn’t howl, just sounds like grinding.
It feels fine on a short ride, but comes back on every ride after being ridden a bit.
It feels awful and makes me hate the bike even more.
The rotor looks fine and pads look fine. I believe the pads were new in the front but i didn’t put them on.

How do i fix this?

(Tries to upload a 7s video but it’s saying my 13 mb video is over the 25 mb limit)

Change default settings to 720p or something?

To make the video smaller?

It’s 13 MB and the limit is 25 MB?

Lopl, sorry i totally misread that. But reshooting to make it even smaller might help?

Host it on vimeo. That’s what I’ve done to share vids here.

testfile (20 MB)

the discourse limit was 25mb but the nginx one was 10mb, should be fixed now soz
