Bike Dewing

I appreciate the time to message.! Honestly at this point im going to attempt to do the 500 but i have no idea what its going to look like.🤦‍♂️🤣 which is also kind of exciting.. enjoy it bud, and ride safe.! 🤘🏻🥳👍🏻

Ive been very active this year.!!😳☠️🤣🤣

Watched and interesting GcN video yesterday about road rage and cyclists.. explained quite nicely the psychology of road rage in general and why its actually such a problem in major cities in the world.. and then why it also gets directed at cyclists.. i liked it because it wasnt just about why motorist hate cyclists, but why motorists are angry at everyone else that gets in the way of you getting to your location in a timely and unobstructed manner. how we assign character flaws to other motorists/cyclists without having any other information about said motorist/cyclist than the specific situation, or the behavior happening directly in front of you.. 😳

Two weeks ago my airpod fell out and i could not find it.. i propped my bike against a tree and i played music in the one i had in and when it started cutting out i knew i had gone to far.. buut why i bring this up, while walking around clearly looking for something some oke rode past and shouted “dude, your bikes over there.!” And that was hysterical.🤣🤣 i eventually found it and i was giggling all the way home..

hey Nick.. they are the Giant SLR 1 Disc wheels and QR hubs that came with that rim from Giant.. to be honest there are two bikes I am looking at now as potential options.. I will probably buy outright and then sell the old steed and put that into a Wheelset.. Order from you.! so ill be in touch to consult on that.. I would much rather support you if I can..

That price tag on the shifter has been there a loooong time🤣🤣

Evening all.. How much of an @$$ ache is it to change these QR hubs to Thru axel on a set of wheels.? is it not worth it.? or not possible at all.? thanks all..

The human spirit can be such an amazing thing.. Well done to you sir..🤘🏻😁👍🏻 this is so great, please keep us updated on your rides.😃🥳

Is it refered to as a Sramano or ShimSram groupset.?🤔

The merida almost had me, you gots to have a dropper post.!! However..! The condition of that groupset is toilet.. chains rusting.. no ways could i buy that in good conscience.. ive riden deore ten speed and its great.. that cosmetic damage on the fork is quite bad but otherwise its a nice looking bike.. but its cosmetic.. some nail varnish and it wont even be noticeable🤣..

The tune your heart sings is the happiest tune.. my bike is better than anyone elses simply because of how it makes me feel when i look at it, ride it, and maintain it.. its an alloy frame, its actually a gravel bike that i ride road on, its a mish mash of components and accessories.. yet, i love every thing about it..

Okay got you.. https://www.cyclelab.com/product/1017670-bike-mtb-ds-alu-scott-spark-970-my23?utm_campaign=21927658697&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=&adgroupid=&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADRhh0U4E2l4b8kDqImJyhUWTzzEI&gclid=CjwKCAiA9bq6BhAKEiwAH6bqoPvP-ImBeyo8_U-RqCyLuyHcji-oGlzJtvA2uCE6sJdz9c-kewVe4BoCStgQAvD_BwE Possibly. The orbea is cool though..

Howzit.. welcome.. i say, if you like Orbea and can afford it, who are we to say otherwise.. it really sounds like you like Orbea, and quite honestly i think they are awesome bikes.. Stick to what makes you happy and youll have plenty amazing miles.👍🏻
