BareNecessities
@Maj
I’ve been having my friction shifters slip between gears over time and knew I’d done something wrong
Today I found out I put the spacer the wrong side and realised I’d been an idiot
Third hand tooled the cable so didn’t even have to replace it
Was about to take it to the bike person Monday, money saved.
Other news I have engineered a trade for a c13 saddle but it will have to wait till I get a seatpost which takes oval rails.
going to get a trendy wide foot cage for it and some more ornaments, trinkets and tat. Triangle reflector? Gino rip off light mount? Reflective leopard stickers?? Frame bag??
We’re hesitant to say keeper round here given my past tendency, but I can’t see anywhere bike wise I’d want to go
Feels like my old caad? But steel? Weird thing to say but I guess I mean “it’s comfortable and sporty feeling”. They’re both cross bikes after all
I think other than aesthetic changes my only hang up is the carbon bars, I just keep feeling like they’ll snap in two. Does one ever get over this fear? Every time I want to hop a speed bump or jump it over a kerb, I see myself being spiked on this mister steerer as they give way beneath me.
Maybe some ergons at some point too
