Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

An outer “bash guard” ring pressed up against an inner ring with a spare “rabbit” personal massager holding it in place.

Can't for the life of me figure out what they're talking about here.

A few years ago when I bought a triple chainset to convert to single speed, I removed the large outside ring and then the tiny granny ring. Then I realised that the granny ring weighed almost nothing and that I may as well leave it on as an insurance policy. Heel changes are possible; upshifts need to be done by hand and can cost you a finger. #CSB

At the time i was riding around with hiking boots (Even more functional when not on your bike) Those boots made upshifts more than possible, hooked the chain with the heel extension & presto!

Would definately opt for "2 x Hiking boot" front setup, if preferred.

Hot stuff!

yea das naice

Have been looking for one of those for ages for my girlfriend.
Matching functional dales ultra hipster functional.

Kind of rad, but isn't it about 3 sizes too small? That seatpost would worry me rather...

every time i look at the picture,think the same as you :D
but 350mm seatpost and 1-1.5 cm left to the limit. for sizing I have long legs,so only on 60-61cm road frame seatpost looks okay:D
For city rides this frame is great,only for longer ride it already feels a bit small,but for those rides I have other bikes

Front fender stays are like:

Yeah, an easy arc on both might have been better looking.

Dig it. Love those tyres, but holy salmon do they not last long.

Gloves but no socks?

Yea i could imagine, especially at that weight! Can luckily get em through work, so that helps a bit. Do they puncture and tear easy? It may be smart to bring an extra on a longer trip..

Puncture or tear? No no. They just wear out. I've never had a single puncture in two years running them tubeless.

Having read this I'm considering double NW for my Orlo. Found myself overgeared on off road rides with 42-36 as my lowest gear, but don't want to drop the chainring tooth count as for road rides even 42-11 highest gear isnt that high. Wouldnt change during the ride, just once before if need be depending on what I'll be riding
Ideally I'd have 44t front for road and ~36t for off road

So why not a CX chainset? 46/36

Dont want a fd. I wouldnt want to change during a ride.

The alternative is @Dammit 's method of having two seperate chainrings and changing them over completely, this is just an easier version of that

Fair do's. I use the 110bcd rings from SRAM. 38 off road loaded and 46 for anything on tarmac.

I'm considering double NW for my Orlo.

This is approaching @Amey territory.
