Elena Delle Donne Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) weigh in: i am beginning to wonder if my chain is too long? when i went from the 53/39 crankset to the 46/30, i didn't shorten the chain. should i have done this? in that 36 ring the chain is pretty slack in the 13/15 cogs internet wasn't all that helpful; people were saying the rear derailleur would take up the slack Edited June 13, 2021 by Elena Delle Donne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I have no idea tbh my bike mech skills are pretty sub par. Have you posted any pics of the chain slack to r/bikewrench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILZ FILLZ Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Rode my bike today. This morning I started the process of turning my lane-splitting fixed gear into a bar-hopping townie by adding a rear brake. Honestly not that bad… next up is free wheel and swept back bars (maybe some bull moose??) and then either a front or rear basket. Not stoked on running new brake cables, can never get it right. May get that done at LBS. These old knees aint down with skid stops anymore. It hasn’t even been that long; maybe five years. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elena Delle Donne Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) @KILZ FILLZ you probably don't have mounts for standard racks but don't let that kill the fun. this seatpost-mounted rack is very graceful, big fan made by nitto, of course: https://www.instagram.com/p/CMWkYcaD3rF/ Edited June 24, 2021 by Elena Delle Donne cuban linx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elena Delle Donne Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 alternatively you could swap your fork out for another steel fork with mounts, might change the geometry a bit but you're not really racing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elena Delle Donne Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 picked up some used tektro cr720s today, we'll see if they can be muscled onto my ride. much easier to set up than the cantilever brakes that are on it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elena Delle Donne Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) hive mind... what's our favorite bar tape? mtb/fixie flat bar folks with grips can play too, shout em out. i just ordered cinelli cork tape to replace novelty tape from state for the past 5k miles that has fallen apart (it was cheap).
