Any multitool suggestions? I have a topeak that is 15 years old and I broke a tier lever, just wore out from heat eventually I think. Anyway, what is new out there? I don't need a chain tool as I have a separate one just hex bits, torx bit and screwdrivers and tire levers. Just go back to same topeak maybe.

Same Topeak.

I bought a Topeak much like the one I had. The bike shop had some crank brothers, but they all had a chain tool which I already have in a separate tool. Wasn't that important just wondering if anything was really new since I bought the Topeak 15 years ago.

Frame arrived let the DJ build begin!

Almost done, the colors look better than expected.

Any of you ever owned or heard of Tribe for road/city bikes? It's finally time to get rid of my 70s Fuji, mostly cause it's 63cm and gigantic and annoying. Local shop by me has chrome alloy Tribe bikes at around ~450 and they look pretty nice, just never heard of them before.

Staying on trend with bike trends and this winter grabbed a cheap 26" MTB to make a touring bike. Think I'm still under 200 bucks for the build, just need frame bag and drill the fork for bottle mounts. Group of friends went out this weekend for a quick 3dayish trip and had a blast.

Annnnd done.

That's a cool DJ bike but the hubs kill it for me, blue hubs would top it off.

the colour reminds me of fighter jet camouflage.

That's a nice classic GT Triple Triangle bike. Used to have a Tequila Sunrise coloured Karakoram but I gave it away to a coworker's son, in exchange for a weekend with her Alfa roadster.

Yeah the wheelset was cannibalized from a beater, already 850 bucks into this build so they will do for now.

About time for me to replace the wheelset on my Cervelo S2. Came from the LBS with Fulcrum Racing 7s, thinking about making an upgrade. Not sure if I should go with an aero wheelset or just a lighter set. Currently considering Mavic Cosmic Elites, Campagnolo Scirocco C17s or (the darkhorse) Vuelta Corsa SLRs. Never heard of Vuelta but they seem to have good reviews and they are pretty damn cheap considering their weight (and they look slick as hell to boot). Any thoughts or recommendations?

I absolutely love my Roval CLX50's and I fancy myself an all arounder. I spend a lot of time in the mountains here in SoCal, as well as an epic week of riding in Boulder last week. Took about 5 rides to adjust to the difference in braking (rim) from aluminum to carbon, but aside from that, they are incredible and worth what I paid for them.

My crash and then first time down a gravity trail.

Anyone familiar with Priority Continuum Onyx bikes? Looking to get a new bike for mainly bike trails and in town riding.

The shifter looks gnarly, has no gears.

latheboy · Jul 11, 2018

Hatorade, did you put a jersy on after the crash or is that a different run?
Looks like a fun trail, shuttle or peddle back up?

Ummm, it does have gears, it's a internal gear hub in the back wheel.

Are you certain? I was reading a bit about it and I thought I read it was gearless (edit: in the traditional sense at least).

Crash was day 2 out there. It is a full on Gravity park with a 13 minute lift ride up.
