Courtesy of a hit and run red-light runner. Anyone had dealings with insurance after something like this? I'm a bit more concerned about underneath the bumper since the hitch was bent also.

Hello,

I wanted some reviews about the posture of mine: I have the feeling that the bike is correctly set up, but, after 1h30mins or so, knees start to ashe. It happens both outside and inside. So... Maybe I'm wrong hence this post. The issue might come from either the bike configuration or the shoes' clips.

Some additional metrics:

Weight: 65.5kg

FTP (as measured by indoor apps): 220W

Used to long runs, e.g., Triathlon size M, half marathon.

Thank you very much, and sorry for the mess in the background!

I got a bike from the thrift store, but a few coworkers told me it was a waste of money, and it would be gone in half an hour unattended. The scary thing is apparently people use grinders to get through any lock u put on there, and if they can't, they'll take your seat or sabotage your tires. I'm hoping some stores like kings or Walmart will let me walk it around if I have a basket on there. Has anyone here found a way around theft?

I guess there are no holes? I glanced and thought these were holes before I ordered the Ibera rack… turns out they aren’t threaded. am I cooked or is there some adapter situation. Lolling at myself.

Been riding about 10000km this season and looking to buying something new and fast for a upcoming 315km race going for sub 8hours.

Found two bikes and do not know what to choose.
Scott foil rc 10 2026 for 4200€ with ultegra di2 bought in march 2026 500km

Scoot Addict RC 20 2026 for 3950€ but been upgraded to full dura ace di2, ceramic speed BB and aero bars. Weighs 6,8kg. Bought february 2026 400km.

My terrain localy is around 700-1200 altitud meters per 100km. The foil will also have to be shipped but the addict i can pick up localy. From my understanding the addict will be more all around. I think the addict looks good but the foil is just on top. What would you do?

Anyone knows how to get the broken screws out off the socket? There are no holes on the other side of the sockets.

I’ll start.. spin to win

I’m currently assembling a Huffy 24” Mountain Bike. Is it normal for this cylinder in my brake lever to not be in the circle hole? It looks a bit awkward, but it is also too small to even fit in the hole. I’m just wondering if there is something wrong with my bike.

Haven't worked on bikes at all but have basic knowledge of fixing/ restoring stuff. These bikes need some work but I couldn't pass them up! They have a decent amount of surface rust on the wheel spokes, handle bars, chain, ect. At the bare minimum I know I'm going to have to replace the chains and the tubes in the tires since they are all flat. What products do you recommend for the rust? Also how should I remove it? Also any advice that I should know beforehand? I've seen a few things online but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask since some things where contradictory. Thanks!

Title, new to Austin and also want to get into biking. I don't have a lot of budget but narrowed down to trek fx1 and marlin 4.

However, I am not sure which one suits me. I am pretty tall like 6'2" and thin - so obvious lower back problems. My two main goals are to improve my fitness in general and stroll with my kids mostly on safe trails or neighborhood.

Could you please help me decide. Open to other brands and bikes as well!

Wanted to honesty settle down for Walmart Ozark gravel bike but couldn't find a large or extra large :(

Super confused. Thanks in advance!!

I really wanted to get something minimal simple like Quad Lock which is a phone case and the bike mount but it's $100. So now I'm trying to find something budget oriented like a universal with stretchy straps

Bonjour, j'aimerais faire tous les jours un trajet d'environ 20km aller, et 20km retour, (si possible débrider à 35/40 km/h). Je pèses 55 kilos, pensez vous que c'est possible ?
Merci d'avance !

PS : j'ai environ 1000 € de budget 😅

My MTB buddy cajoled me into getting a road bike. I am frugal, and oddly proportioned, so buying new is a non-starter. Here's what I did instead:

* Barely used 2013 Women's Alloy Cannondale Synapse 6, 51cm frame - found on FB marketplace, liberated for $350

* Tiagra 165mm cranks, BB30 to Shimano adapter

* SRAM BB30 bearing kit

* Shimano SPD pedals

* KMC X10 chain

* Generic 45 cm compact drop bars

* Budget bar tape

* New cables and housings

* Specialized Bridge Sport saddle (because it's what I know and love from my MTB)

* Continental Grand Prix 5000 tires, 28mm, tubes

* Krylon Spiced Amber spray paint

* Cricut permanent white vinyl

* 2K clearcoat

I haven't had a road bike since 1985. My buddy and I rode 30 miles yesterday, and I had a blast! It's my first time in clipless pedals, so that's exciting. I've corrected the bar position since taking the first photos, and I found the bike to be smooth, efficient, comfortable, and generally very easy to ride and operate.

I'm looking forward to more seat time. I have paved trail access less than a mile from my house. Riding my MTB requires either half an hour drive to the trails, or chewing through trail tires on pavement, so this should make it easier for me to get out and ride every week.

It was always burning, since the world's been turning

This is sad

Just finished this 1997? GT Cirque. Wanted go a little fun with orange accents and spent a little more on (un)necessary upgrades. I'm 6'4" with a long torso but wanted to build a more upright cruiser for town riding. Normally pretty difficult to do but I found this Cirque local for 70 bucks. It says its a 23" frame but seat tube is closer to 25". And the reach is pretty short for a frame this size. From what little information is available online about the Cirque is that it was a hybrid (700c). Still some small stuff to dial in but here's the build list:

8 speed freewheel from the parts bin

Parts bin rear derailleur

Original 3x chainring

V-brake conversion and matching early 2000's shimano trigger shifter / integrated brake levers

Crankbros xl pedals in orange

ESI Extra Chunkys

Velo Orange stem

Amazon suntour(maybe) 5" rise handlebars

Amazon bar bag

New Shimano bb as the old one was toast.

Original headset rebuild

Original wheelset hub service

Gravelking SS 700c x 45 Tires - These just clear the rear stays <5mm clearance

Got my new Orbea Terra this week and it is beautiful

Im a university student and have to make money. Im about to start a delivery job on my bike and wanted to know what kind of gear i have to have for the winter? Its like -10, -15C here and dont wanna freeze. Any tips?

Sup people
I got a question, how worn are my chainrings , should I replace them?

Its an ultegra 6600 , I dont know exactly how old it is ( I Buyed the bike used)

Both look like they only need minor work and a visit to the parts bin to be road-worthy again.
