No fucking way would I work at or get my bike serviced by that place. ---

just posted to instagram but initially took the photo for tarck. Went to put away a set of pedals and realized I might have a problem. ![](https://i.imgur.com/zx4sE0w.jpg) ---

Would I be correct in assuming that there is not a single thing wrong with any of those? ---

loose springs, blown pins, etc. You can see the pile of parts to the left. The two yellow pedals I took off (top right, mid-bottom left) were okay. I got them at a swap for $5 but one side of the drive side pedal was loose. The other 3 springs were as tight as a brand new set but one loose spring was fucking me up, especially for working all day. I’d rather be consistent and ride slightly loose pedals all around. You can see a couple bodies in there with no springs. I definitely search out donor parts. ---

I solved all my Time ATAC problems by using Shimano SPD. ---

I’ve never, ever accidentally unclipped from shimano SPD pedals riding fixed, but I could be lucky. here’s my bike + empty moving boxes mess i’m currently trying to organize: ![](https://i.imgur.com/qdl4Lbr.jpg) ---

My messbro friend won’t run SPDs on any tarck bike, even though we recently convinced him to get a brake. He even got the bianchi celeste ATACs to match his '92 pista. It’s actually pretty sw8. > [@joy of vaping](#): > > I’ve never, ever accidentally unclipped from shimano SPD pedals riding fixed I absolutely have, and it’s fucking bullshit when it happens. ---

Do most people tighten their SPD float as they wear down their cleats? I can’t ever seem to remember to experiment but lately I’ve been popping out on a pair of well worn Terraduros. Maybe this post will help me remember. The main reason I haven’t messed with it yet is because I have two bikes with SPD pedals and two different SPD shoes at opposite ends of the wear spectrum. ---

I’ve popped out of SPD compatible non-shimano pedals, but the good old M520 has never let me down YMMV (your mileage must vary) ---

Good to see another bike mess ITT. Here’s mine while I figure out how to rid myself of half of my belongings so it’s no longer a mess. ![](https://i.imgur.com/hRbX1bq.jpg) ---

While I’m definitely not happy one of my bikes got stolen I gotta say, it’s really opened up a lot of room in my apartment. ---

I was already thinking of selling some of my bikes. I have 7. This just confirmed it. One of the bikes (the giordana) is already spoken for, just gotta wait for the cash. The wolverine is going. I might keep the gunnar. Honestly at the end of summer I’d like to be down to 3 bikes including the bullitt. ---

Has anybody used anything like this to manage your bike mess? If so, did it work? Bend your wheels? ![](https://i.imgur.com/0Opr99Y.jpg) ---

Yes, didn’t bend the wheels, but sometimes the whole thing would get bumped and it was a mess. [Previous page](https://tarck.cc/t/post-pictures-of-your-bike-mess-not-safe-for-artblur/9442.md?page=29) [Next page](https://tarck.cc/t/post-pictures-of-your-bike-mess-not-safe-for-artblur/9442.md?page=31)
