90's Cyclocross Bike restoration into a Gravel Bike
I tried to only use parts from the 1990s and to reuse as many parts as possible. My most complex project to date, it took almost two years until I found all the parts and had everything together. It's a bit too much bling bling but it's a conversation starter no matter where I am.

TOO many stupid and crazy E-Bike riders out there
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.Год назад
Some have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER about riding safely and paying attention to what is going on around them. Please don't get me wrong, E-Bikes are a good way to commute, eco-friendly and silent. But 45km/h (up to 1000W) and CRAZY people are a dangerous mix!

    Schön, dass ich mal jemanden mit der gleichen Meinung finde! Das Problem von diesem ganzen E-Bike Wahnsinn, ist ja die Tatsache, dass die meisten Leute, die sich solch einen Unsinn anschaffen mindestens 15 bis 30 Jahre nicht regelmäßig mehr auf einem Fahrrad gesessen haben und jetzt sitzen die auf Geräten rum, die viel zu schnell für ihre verkümmerten Fähigkeiten sind. Meiner Meinung nach gehört dieser ganze Müll verboten und sollte nur noch gegen Vorlage eines Behindertenausweises verkauft werden dürfen. In spätestens fünf Jahren landet das Zeug sowieso wieder auf der Elektrosondermüll.

    The main problem I've seen within the last few years is the attitude of beginning cyclists getting on E-bikes. Many (not all of course) get an e-bike believing they will be faster than a conventional bicycle. In some cases they are (like hills and wind) but it's the snobbery from ppl who after all these decades just decided that a bicycle (conventional and motorized) is the way to go. "But a conventional bicycle is too slow..I need to be faster than a car!" If this is the attitude one might have, then cycling is not for that person. Most accidents are caused by inexperience and careless riding.

    posting this is illegal in Switzerland ! bye the way the bikes goos to fast couple of times... but he is allowed ...just like not staying fully to the right of the road... and if you drive up a mountain with 5-10 kmh on a 80kmh road is your own risk ! there are rules in my country you are not allowed as the speed is more as 40kmh different and seems as dangerous , you know that law also...but only for the motorway , so keep to the rules and stay of 80kmh roads !! As we do not see you just around a corner in the mountains ... and doing sport on the road ,,, so I can run with friend on the road exercise for the marathon ?? The road is NIT for sport.... or why are there so many rules so auto-sport is not allowed ??

  • @qwertyazerty2137
    @qwertyazerty2137 16 дней назад

    I've had this deda bar tape. It looks nice but it's rubbish. Too thin for graveling/cx and after ~1000 km the fake leather layer starts to flake off and if you want to unwrap it to replace the cable housings, the sticky tape is really strong and tears it off. Ps. Great build, but the frame definitely could use some nice period-correct decals. As for the chain, if you got it from aliexpress, it's probably a counterfeit. I had an x11 from ali and it didn't even last 1000 km in my mtb until it streched beyond 1 mm.
