Favorite shoe as of this year with foot retention, Vans Slip Ons, but they fall apart quick. My first pair outlived my second pair (bottoms fell out). I use Cons low tops for lace up stuff. Need to find a brand with a sturdier slip on but the sameish dimensions, feel, not looking for a bulky, or heavily padded, thick sole slip on.

Dang, I use to lurk bikeforums, kissena group on fb, dissensus, djhistory, hollerboard, ilx, etc., before I found this place and way before I knew about reddit. LFGSS is a great outlet. That is all.

51x22 sounds nice. I finally washed my bike properly. Not slamming deep track drops yeah. I’m just commuting lol.

I shouldn’t even be looking at huge rings with all the hills around me. I did do myself a favor and unslammed my stem and level my handlebar.

Front brake would still be nice. The close calls would be far less. Would prefer road levers and front brake. I love GP 5000s so grippy. Would def buy. These were parts bin gifts. Both in good condition when I received them. (I always forget to respond in the reply)

Thank you. I’ve only done as low as 44/17. I just get bored at home. I’m sticking to 48/16 for a while.

Currently. I’m imagining this gear 42t https://www.retro-gression.com/products/alter-mad-max-tracklocross-chainring by https://www.velobike.co.nz/products/11-tooth-sprocket

There’s a lot of cool bike shops an hour away in New York City. I like going to King Kog when I venture out there. Once or twice a year but it’s awesome.

Thanks again! *eBay store link nonexistent, last post from 2023 :(

This place? https://bikepunkshop.com/Home

Wow, looks good with DA. I live in the USA

I suffer from insomnia. I switched to gp5000 x25c squeaky psi. Long day ahead

I want to use this bar, brake levers, tape, plugs, brake calipers, have actual brakes, get a white industries freewheel 22t, do those come in 3/32? Use the big ring. 175mm on a high bb with a freewheel. Add double toe clips and straps to the pedals. Reappropriate the road chain. Or use the small ring depending on the chainline. Smaller freewheel. Figure out the bottom bracket situation. Double Vittoria Randonneur x25c front x28c rear on the Dolan. Use current everything else. *No I don’t. That would be a lot of work. Keep it simple. **I’d have to get the brake bridge drilled.

Yeah! Look forward to seeing it in its future form.

I’ll swap it back eventually. The ideas are endless. Silver ahead stem with silver compact drops? I was staring a 3t sphinx on eBay at like 3 am wondering how it would look on the Dolan. Then I remembered all the reviews and how flexy they are. Silver cockpit, tektro road levers, front brake, black tape, silver setback seatpost, matching tires *would be cool

Thanks. I wish I had more gears to choose from currently. 44/20 to chill on so I don’t mess with the chain length.

Currently. Haven’t ridden since Sunday. *Used rollers. Joints feel good.

Really nice Vigorelli! Looks great with the steel fork. My rear Mavic*/Phil that I don’t use anymore has stripped threading on both sides. The cog was tight enough to ride without foot retention on one side, but I was over foot braking and going through tires quicker than when I skid. Idk what I’m looking for in a future wheelset. The silver Wabi set works fine for now. Ideally, some carbon 50mm/60mm clincher rims laced to high flange hubs hah. I’ve never had carbon wheels and with my track record of going through wheels.. maybe not a good idea.

Thank you. I’ll do my best

I have to be more alert and aware of my surroundings. I turned into a fairly empty street I use almost daily. The driver of the parked car opened her door on the left. I don’t even remember the impact. In all my years I have never been doored. I injured my right knee and shoulder this time. My only functioning bike is my main transportation. I should save for a car but I’ve been saying that on and off since forever. I put that wheel back on because I have to get the mavic checked. The rear was trued a few days ago.

and I got my first door today. Ooof. I feel ok. Update

I just saw this. Knee is still tender. Day 1 of no bike. It’s alright. Thank you

Yeah. Fixed road!

Thanks! I need to get my rear wheel trued and serviced. Kinda wobbly. Hopefully it's not the rim. Missionaries stopped me by surprise by my house after work. I immediately rode up the sidewalk and slammed on my bad knee. Still swollen but I can ride ok.
