Wow, that looks amazing man. Where did you do the respray? Once you do the fork you can nickname the bike the "ship of theseus".

Even though he passed the "truecaller test" it doesnt mean green light at all. In fact, asking for cellphone payment is a MAJOR red flag. Very easy to get a sim card (yes rica is very easy to get past), and put your name on truecaller. However its impossible to get a bank account without having a legit ID book with barcode. Stay very far away from anyone requesting cellphone payments.

No, but that number does confirm the name on truecaller so its not an alias. Why?

Couple of Qs. Could you elaborate on the effect of the patches? Do you just simply not crave smokes anymore? Also where do you get them, how long do they last and how much do they cost?

????????????

How many beers do you usually have for breakfast?

If youre asking about replacing the actual bearings within the bb cups, then no its not really viable. To knock the bearings out of the cups you need a very specific tool, there is no way youll get them out otherwise. Even then, replacement bearings arent that cheap anyway. By far the best option to just replace the whole bb. Theres specific tools to knock out and press in pf bbs out the bike frame too, but theyre not absolutely required - and also the bike shop will do it in a minute. Its not something you need to do regularly anyway. And lastly, no you cant convert that way around.

Hey guys, need a road crank with standard shimano threaded bb. Condition doesnt matter too much as long as its mechanically sound. Obviously willing to pay, just not finding a cheap one on the ads at the moment.

yeah, theres your problem. 51mm difference in top tube, and 20mm in stem. so 31mm longer reach even with the 50 stem. shortest possible stem is 35mm which could be an option, and moving your seat all the way forward. otherwise get the small if you can still swop.

The wheel size is irrelevant, its the different geometry of the 2 frames. Size "medium" can vary quite a bit between manufacturers, and the top tube in this case is probably quite different. What length stem were you running on the old bike and how short of a stem did you try on the new one? Bikes feel different, you might just need to get used to the new one for a bit.

My take on on the whole gopro thing is this: 1. Mine also collects dust most of the year, but that odd time i get to go do somthing cool i like having one. 2. As has been mentioned, cycling videos just look boring as hell unless the scenery is out of this world or you're an actual professional bombing down the red bull rampage course. 3. Because of this, the videos you end up with are kinda useless, theyre not the type youd wanna show people. BUT - I've found that when i do use my gopro i most often use the setting where it takes a picture every 2 seconds. At the end of the session of whatever you were doing you scroll through and if youre lucky you end up with a few great photos. Pausing the video for a screenshot is not even close to the quality of the gopro taking actual photos. Photos are a lot more usable than video. Ive ended up with some great photos doing this.

Ive never understood how cycling on the road is even legal. This video (one of millions) is evidence of why. Not only is it extremely dangerous for the cyclist, but because theyre moving so much slower than traffic everyone has to pass them - so theyre putting motorists lives in danger too. So i can go and cycle right in the middle of the lane at 20kmh cause its legal to do so? I commute with a mountain bike and always stay off the road as much as possible, only rarely am i forced to be on the road for a few meters or so, and then it just feels kinda wrong and that I'm in the way. A lot of cyclists (im not saying all) feel very entitled, and a big group brings out crowd mentality and they feel invincible. (flame suit on????)

I did yes, you must be very smart.

Calm down Shakespeare????

Looool. He corrected someones spelling on the previous page, now hes using big words and gets corrected himself????
