>fuck mixing carbon fork with steel frameI meant to say fuck mixing carbon fork with metal frame, it's just as bad when it's a titanium frame
>>2079641autism claims another dead thread
>>2079645autists are superior and you know it
A liveable city zoomers whining about cars thread died for thisAlso I liek tubeless, boa shoes, and some parts of "the industry"When you grow up you'll see why shoelaces are annoying
>>2079663>When you grow up you'll see why shoelaces are annoyingboa and shoe laces are not the only optionsstraps and buckles are reasonable
>>2079665I'm using Boa in winter on my boots and velcro in summer on the sandals. Couldn't be better. Laces like on velosamba suck.
>>2079641fat bikes are gay and unnecessary and the only people who say they "roll faster" read one clickbait article once and do not actually understand physicsotherwise yes, but even disc brakes are very old
>>2079665show me any cycling shoe with buckles sperg
>>2079641sheldon did some of these things, he fore-ran the 650b trenderino and knew wider tires on road bikes was basedThe guy is interesting because he was pretty value-neutral and just liked riding bikes and tinkering, the new shit is not very amenable to tinkering so it makes sense he's more beloved by retro snobs. But he was living a level of frankenbike chad lifestyle most retro snobs would gasp at, I mean the man never owned an actual repair stand, said his rafters worked fineHe showed you can be a strong, legit rider and still fuck around to an insane extent and enjoy it all. His love of the fine road ride did not diminish his love of the humble raleigh 20, the beautiful duality of the virgin cyclist and the chad cruise embodied in one individual. The drunken master showed us the way but we are still afraid to listen

But most of all Fuck e-scooters
>>2079641>fuck mixing carbon fork with steel frameOne thing that really grinds my gears is "custom titanium frames" and it's half carbon tubes.
>>2082566even the most niggerish of e-"""bikers"""(motorcycle with a 2hp motor off a lathe instead of a 120hp gas engine) will agree with this
>>2082566BMW CE 04 is kino
OP is right and NO ONE who reads this post will EVER be a woman
>>2082579Good, because I never want to be a woman anyway.
>>2082573As an ebike nigger I agreeI want to tip over the wobbly e-scooter fucks so bad, I overtake them very close

Sure, but what can you do? The only thing you can probably do is protest on the street, but people will likely think you're crazy. Yeah, you can come up with or suggest an idea, and they'll just not give a damn about you, so yeah, sorry, this comment is really unsystematic, umm, umm, I guess, I don't know, BYEEEE
>>2082632gas AND bomb
>>2079804OP here. Obviously the people that claim fat bikes roll faster are fucking retards. Fat bikes are great for very niche uses: Sandy muddy river bottoms, desert, tundra, beaches, etc. They can be fun to fuck around on in parking lots even. But they should be treated as niche bikes, not general use bikes.>>2079849>650bSheldon is based but I can disagree with him on one thing. And its not even that 650b bikes are terrible, just that the industry is retarded for switching from 26".>wider tires on road bikesI should have been more precise in the OP, I will concede slightly here. 25mm+ on fredsleds is retarded, but wide tires on an old ten speed you use to cruise around the city trails is fine.>the man never owned an actual repair stand, said his rafters worked fineBASED>>2082571Exactly, this triggers me so fucking much. And brands such as Salsa and All City putting carbon forks on every single one of their steel frames is so fucking retarded, I have never owned a Salsa or an All City but I used to love both brands yet now they are doing this retarded faggotry.>>2082579BASED
>>2082874>just that the industry is retarded for switching from 26".honestly i was commuting on a 26 ebike but had to pedal it frequently but found myself ghost pedaling a lot; the upgrade from virtual gearing when i got a 29/700c is very noticeable. 26 is fine for hilly environments but on mostly flat roads your rear gears can only get so small and your front gears only so big. and people have gotten bigger so a 26 bike is honestly a little small for someone who ate their wheaties UNFORTUNATELY every bike company makes it as hard as possible to adjust or replace anything now because that means they cant sell you as much overpriced shit so where "I want a bigger chainring" would have been 15$ and five bolts back then, now you need an entire new frame and thus an entire new bike because Proprietary Fastener Reasons
>>2082876>mostly flat roadshence why road bikes have always been >26"irrelevant to mountain bikes>15$ and 5 boltsstill is if you ride a steel bike from the 1900s
>>2082881>still is if you ride a steel bike from the 1900smost of /n/ would pay a man to bomb you from space for even using rix-bolt disc brakes, let alone anything as SATANIC as a non-integrated bb/chainring/crank combo
>>2082883>let alone anything as SATANIC as a non-integrated bb/chainring/crank comboum what? we like old threaded bbs with square taper spindles
>>2082884>square tapersomewhere a reddit transplant is having an aneurysm
>>2082886good
>>2082566these fucks are incapable of not speedinf and being recklessi dont want technical limitationsthat is just govenmental tyranny against all because of the fewI want speed limits and forved confiscations (and auctioning) of offenders vehiclesThis has proven extremely effective against retards abusing and being reckless with e-scooters in Austria and Switzerland respectively
>>2082884yeah, fuck sram gxp especiallybearings got gritty and craky after under a year when i replaced that expensive piece of shit with an oem partfuck you srami will never buy something from sram again and will have no lack of disdain for shimano eitherthe chinks arent better eother necaise its chinsy shit (even worse than sram/shimano at times, buyer beware)the only thing one can do is simply stubbornly going a few yeats behind amy trends and using old and proven tech
>>2079641>steel poverty bike unc brake take I bet you look that too
>>2079641fuck carbon anything
