TC: I’d love an 11 speed friction twist shifter.
TC: I’ve only ridden one of my four meat bikes since getting my gall bladder removed in January. I’ve succumbed to ebike life.
lmao “meat bike”, i like that far more than “accoustic”
also
my gallbladder-less brother. Going on 8+ years here.
So can you guys tell us how many watts a gallbladder is worth then?
I lost 20 pounds in the 6 weeks I couldn’t eat fat or alcohol while receiving from an infected pancreas and liver before my gall bladder game out. That’s with a few right there
TC: Should have just got a modern wheelset
And derailleur and chainring maybe a shifter
100%
now I’m just in it out of spite
Some of the new stuff is so much better
sometimes it’s the journey and I’m glad we’ve been able to tag along for it
You don’t know until you know. Also, old parts are fun sometimes too. And figuring which old parts are for you and which aren’t is part of the fun.
Now you get to rebuild the wheels with a dynamo front hub and 8-11s hyperglide rear!
Pretty happy I went back to time atacs after riding flat pedals for a minute.
I replaced my mtb 30t chainring with a 28t chainring without consulting tarck and I hate it
How do you even stay up?
spun out “descending” into the navy yard and got passed by a meat powered citi bike
ordering a 30t out of shame and embarrassment
that’s too little
Yikes!
TC: was super tired w/ 10 miles left of 50 riding some double track, picked up a stick, said “i shouldn’t pedal,” pedaled anyway, blew up my RD, chain into spokes, 30 min getting it into a manageable gear, now i’m waiting on a new RD and the weather is as good as it’s been all year. i’m so dumb sometimes
What cassette? I’ve got a 12 spd 10-51 and am happy with the top end, however our capabilities differ drastically.
