I still like rim brakes, but I don't have any major opposition to disc brakes as long as they're using with thru-axles. (I don't like the pads rubbing after hard braking, which is usually caused by the hubs shifting.)

Finally figured out the process for getting my correct saddle position on a bike!

  1. Start with the saddle level, a bit low, and slammed all the way back on the rails.
  2. Raise the saddle in 3-5mm increments until you no longer lift off the saddle or have pain on or around your kneecaps. You may need to move the saddle forward a 3-5mm every now and then so you aren’t completely sitting on its nose.
  3. Once #2 has been taken care of, pedal with the technique of spinning your knees in small, tight, and fast circles. That pedaling technique will cause you to scoot forward to where your saddle should be.
  4. Move the saddle forward in 3-5mm increments until it feels comfortable with that pedaling technique. Be sure to keep the saddle as level as possible while doing this.

Is it reasonable to use an inner tube to smooth out tubeless rim tape in the case of leaks? @cycling @biketooter @mastobikes

(I'll retape it if it doesn't work out.)

So it didn't quite pan out, but it did reveal "install a tube" as a great way to seat the bead of the tire during tubeless setup! @biketooter @cycling @mastobikes

My bike looks rather cluttered. 🫣

How's your setup accessory*-wise? @bikes @mastobikes @fedibikes

On Grey ⚫🚲 I got a bottle holder, a front light with horn, an old cellphone (for music, navigating, recording video as witness), a powerbank to charge the old cellphone. All on the handlebar and stem. 😁 Looks rather cluttered but I feel like I need* them.

I only do city rides, by the way. 🚴‍♀️🌆

Oh, I also got a bag on a rear rack with 🔧 🩹 🧥🧤 ... ... 😄!

What are some good custom frame builders in ? Looking for lugs and minimal aversion to moving parts off an existing bike. @mastobikes @cycling @biketooter

What are some good tubeless 650B tires with small knobs? My bike maxes out at 38mm, by the way. @cycling @mastobikes

Whether or not disc brakes are “better” than rim brakes, disc brakes definitely require less skill to use effectively in more conditions.

Disc brakes will never look this good. :blobfoxowomlem:

The Dark Side of Electronic Shifting

In short: primarily vendor lock-in and the vendors only targeting specific use cases with electronic shifting.

My bike was stolen in front of a supermarket in the city center, in a place with a lot of pedestrian traffic. When I went to report the incident, I was shocked by the superficiality with which the police treated my situation, in the series let it go, "it happens!"

While a friend of mine had his PC, tablet stolen and presented to the police with all the geolocation coordinates of his devices, they almost reported him for stalking.

Mind blowing stuff! 🤬
