M99 looks good for both tbf. Has a bright dipped beam for road and full beam for off

"get in the back of the van"

Bit darker than the other suggestions but okay

only removing excess paint should be enough

Presumably this means they have faced it after welding and then painted over it. There is really no excuse for not simply masking the HT and BB faces.

It should really be a step in manufacturing so in theory, shops very rarely have to deal with it

Touché

I would guess no. The space between shoe and foot is too tight, anything with insulation will be pressed flat and not super effective at insulating. And pulling something out of your shoe on the move sounds like a disaster. Toe covers on the outside are your best bet, and they do make a difference.

Obviously, it has zero rake fork blades and the rake comes from the offset fork ends, like BMX forks but yeah, even then it does look like a very low amount. No offset specs on their website and just says made from pipe...

Bankrupt yourself in court speedrun

Opened up like a tin of sardines

Anything but the cane creek. The hoods position is unusably uncomfortable

The true spirit of gravel

Sick that, mate

You've changed man

I don't think it's enough of a jump to make it worthwhile for me. Sure it's a bit smaller and lighter but it's otherwise pretty similar spec except a bit more resolution. There are a couple of A7R IIs on ebay for 550ish*

*those ones are pretty shit condition tbf but 6-700 seems a decent one, idk what to do

The one downside I can think of with it is the on off switch is a button and it doesn't work unless there's power to the light. So it can be switched off and spinning the wheel by hand isn't enough to generate enough power to switch it on so you either think it's broken or you have to ride up the road with the light off for a few seconds.
If you never switch it off, like I mostly don't, it's not a big issue.

Yeah I've got one. Had it for 3 or 4 years now.
I don't have a huge amount to say about it, it's been faultless. Can be mounted top or bottom due to the ring around the body. Light output is pretty bright, in well lit streets you don't see a huge spread of light on the road surface but it is plenty bright enough to see by on dimly lit or completely unlit roads. The beam has a decent spread if slightly narrow with a nice clean cut off horizontally.
Apparently it auto dims in daylight and lights up a little extra be-seen light in the brow of the light and then auto switches to full brightness at night. I've never noticed this happening but that's what it says it does.

OG one or II?

Looking to maybe upgrade my now ancient Canon 6D. Looking for something sub £1k.
I've got a wedding to do and I occasionally shoot some bike racing, otherwise my shooting is a full mix of everything, landscape, portrait, street.
I'm thinking of a Sony A7r II as they're pretty cheap these days. Would it be a good idea? It's better in almost every metric but I've heard they can be slow and I'd also initially like to adapt my canon lenses which may hinder it even more.

I hadn't clicked on the picture so yeah, why not lol. Don't bully me

On a closer inspection, the rockbros bag is a giveaway, it's pretty much entirely AliExpress parts: the cranks, the OSPW, seatpost, stem, bottle cage. I wouldn't be surprised to find out they aren't Enve wheels. Not quite as cool as it first looked

Somebody should think about boycotting Shimano

Sweet. Bars need tilting up though

Fuck, already this has made me want a new bike. Shit damn it

Kinda want to hook them up to a seatpost battery just to use the buttons to change screen on my head unit
