I've started riding for a lot of short trips (4km max and 10-20 km per day). I can't ride in traffic without racing it, so I'm smashing out mega-watts for short periods between traffic lights.

My HR stays within zone 2, but am I getting the zone 2 benefits? What's the best way to capitalise on these rides.

My valve cap is impossible to put on because the gold thingy is too small. The other tyre has this extended black thing which makes it possible to put on. Does anyone know how to fix this I'm new to bikes.

This is my second ever ride with a road bike. Almost 30km, my watches showed me distance in miles so i wasn't able to calculate distance correctly, but it was quite a nice ride

Sometimes you find the most shocking deals on Craigslist. A fixie with a mishmash of parts on what is presumably a Bianchi frame. Musty and rusty from being left in a shed for over 3 years. Photos and parts below.

​

Not sure what Bianchi (?) frame this is. F4080 is the only ID I can find and it has Campagnolo dropouts.

​

Bianchi stem with Shimano Sora front brakes and Campagnolo Nuovo / Super Record (?) headset.

​

Campagnolo chain ring.

​

Campagnolo Chorus crank.

​

Suzue rear hub with ACS Claws freewheel.

​

Brooks Cambium C17 with Kalloy seatpost.

When adding up the value of each item, we're looking at probably $300 worth of parts. Not bad! But that mysterious frame. I really can't make out what it is. If you have any idea, feel free to post. :)

I’m looking for a part marked on the picture, anyone know how to find it, how it’s called? On Robert Axle site I only find full sets, but I need only this part.

Not hard enough just to climb but had to add gusts from 90-120km/h and -7C in the top. Picture time was very quick to avoid freezing, will definitely come back for a proper pic !

The Daily Cyclist Thread is a place where everyone in the /r/bicycling community can come and ask questions or share anything.

You might have questions that you don't think deserve an entire post. Perhaps you're just seeking the input of some other cyclists. Maybe you want to share a picture of your new bike.

Anyone is free to comment, and (hopefully) get as much input as possible from other cyclists.

Hello everyone! I'm thinking about buying this bike for commuting. Do you think it is worth it? The seller does not negotiate on the price at all lol. Also it was apparently bought on 2022 May.

Saw an ad , for a bundle buy. I Was confused because I know this model runs around 3k.
Do you think it’s stolen ?

Have some parks near the new house we are closing on and we love to have a cruiser to roll around in 😎 would like to stick at 500 and under if possible!

Thanks!

I have a Marin Kentfield with a 17 inch frame and I need to get a bigger frame 19 or 21 inch. Will the parts from the Kentfield fit other frames or am I SOOL?

Got to borrow this bike for the weekend and went on my first ride in over a decade. Only went 10 miles but it was exhausting. Looking forward to getting back into cycling

Only identifying mark says cro mo 4130.

I’m buying continental gp5000 and can’t decide between black or tan / cream sidewall lol. They’re basically same except black tire being about 30g lighter per tire.

Anyone have a favorite?

Tons and tons of them... All with just a few reviews.

For reference I've been running actual Tubolitos for 1000 miles with no issues. Worth the money? No idea, I rarely replaced my butyl tubes, so far they are basically on par. Definitely wouldn't mind spending less.

I see the valve possibly being the difference on cheaper tubes but I'm sure Tubolito has a huge markup anyway, quality differences aside.

So I decided to slam and flip my stem. Couldn't be happier. I can now get lower and I'm still comfortable while doing it! What do you guys think about the aesthetics? Anything else I can do to make it look more aggressive? I know it's an endurance bike, but still

Is this worth?

I was recently given this bike (Cannondale rz one twenty) from my father as an upgrade from my previous bike. It has been ridden quite a lot since around 2010-2013 when it was bought new by him. It was riding great until lately when I ran into the problem of the front suspension completely locking up and not being able to move at all. To this day, it is still jammed and I can't get it to move. I have no idea how this happened as it was being ridden relatively gently. I am seeking advice on what would be the best option to do.

Option 1: Buy new front forks to replace it

Option 2: fix it somehow? might need help on how to do this...

Option 3: Leave it as it is and just ride with it like that

Any help at all would be appreciated. (p.s I don't know if this is the right community to ask this)

Hi Folks,

my Ultegra 2x11 has this noise in 7th/ 8th and 9th gear. All other gears are not affected.

What might be the cause?

Drivetrain is clean, chain has about 1000km. It makes no difference if I use the rear wheel or the Kickr.

Thank you.
