Tyre advice (feddit.uk)
submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I have a bike which currently has 26 x 1.95 / 47 - 559 tyres on it

I want to replace it with some of the Fincci puncture resistant, closest i can find is 26 x 1.95 / 50-559

Are these going to fit on the wheels ?

Obviously not this track alone, but I thought this picture was absolutely gorgeous. The rest of the tour was no less beautiful

Picked up a new 2022 Revolt 2 in sapphire after work on Friday. I'm happy as a pig in shit. I tried to justify an Advanced 1, but aluminum for half the price and still upgrading everything was certainly worth it. Still honing the adjustments in, but it got me a nice 10 mile highway and gravel road ride this morning.

Any thoughts on Poseidon? Looking at getting a gravel bike and the price point seems great.

I need help... (lemmy.ml)
submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I've got a 1993 Trek 720 that was great in college for getting me around town. The frame is ok, but big. In 1993 it cost about $350.
I now live in the country with paved state highways and gravel roads every mile. The hybrid 3x7 just isn't doing it. So, my local bike shops have different philosophies. One would like me to alter my set up. Get some drop bars, change my drive train, but use my existing frame. The other would love to sell me a gravel bike for about $1500. I honestly think I'd spend up to $3000 for additional features. Looking specifically at a Giant Revolt 1 or 2. So a $350 investment when I had no means had gotten me through 30 years. Should I feel blessed and feel ok with moving on to a modern frame that I can feel a little more relaxed on, or do I stick with nostalgia and upgrade the components? Is love to hear what you have to offer? BTW, $1500-3000 isn't really the issue, it not great this month, but it's more the attachment.

I use a Himiway Cruiser. I was thinking a 3 in 1 seemed the most practical... however let me know if there is a type thats better. Also I would appreciate knowing what brands to get.

the bike industry is experiencing a supply chain overload. Many companies forecast continued demand where none materialized, and so shops are full of stuff and low on cash. A cursory glance around the market will tell you that a whole lot of stuff is on sale, and this is the WRONG time of year to be discounting new gear.

Participating in my first ever event next week. Not really a race race but I'm still getting all excited for it. Wish me luck.

Bought along with a mixte in the same color as a matching his/hers set for $150. Stripped and rebuilt them with new alloy wheels, dynamo hubs and headlights in the front and 2 speed automatix hubs in the back.

It seems obvious. If i spend 600€ on a new bike and 600€ on a conversion kit, i will get a very high spec e-bike. But i would have to spend double that, about 3000€ to get an okay quality off-the-shelf e-bike.

The off-the-shelf e-bike won't be the exact size/style i like. They are nearly all city-bike style. Not many sizes are available, usually just small, medium, large (whatever that men's).

It will be much heavier.

It will be more difficult to customise, for example with baby seat, lights, horns, mirrors.

It will probably be impossible to de-restrict, to be usable at normal cycling speeds.

Most importantly, it will not use standard parts. For example if the battery or motor dies after a few years, i have to buy a replacement from the same manufacturer, if that is even available. For a converted bike, i can change the components independently and choose any brand for the new parts (i think).

What is the argument for buying an off-the-shelf e-bike? Why would anyone do that?
