@Petropoliskhan , Just slow down. Treat it like skiing in poor conditions (ice patches) or something like that. It is easy to get going again. I pull off, let cars pass if I am on the inside of a turn or it is narrow, go very slow in shade, wood surfaces, bridges, or unknown downhills. But...

I considered the Charger 2-3, and went for the Moustache Dimanche 29.5. Cost savings was substantial and weight was also much less. The reason I mention it is Gazelle is the "lower cost" alternative, and the Moustache are in between the two. I got 1500 miles and think I make the right choice.

Also know TPI is relative to what the threads are made of. If it is the same material, the comments from MMC apply. If they are different materials, that could make more of a difference. Often more TPI is also heavier threads so it is actually MORE protection. That being said, heavier thread...

yeah but they missed a couple of trees.

It would attach to a stay in the back and then act as a "cup-pole " holder with the item sticking upward like a safety flag.

Just FYI. On my bike the through axle threads have the same pitch as the RAP solution, but not the same depth. So I am unable to use these axle solutions. Onward to a rack attachment or Seat Post attachments

Of all the things I have bought, this is the one I like best for the $ spent. I like the 0.1 NM degree settings. Bike Torque Wrench Set, 1/4 Inch Drive Torque Wrench 2 to 14 Nm Bicycle Tool Kit for MTB Mountain Road Bikes with Allen Key, Torx Sockets, Extension Bar - - Amazon.com

My wife runs the Moustache Dimanche 29.3 at 41.8 pounds, Shimano GRX400. Adding OEM fenders would add 3-4 pounds. The carbon gravel fork is smooth enough and one could do a suspension stem and/or seat post. Once you add shocks you add 6-8 pounds. We run 50 mm tires and can do 55-58mm with...

Yesterday I went on a new route and slowed down ( to 6-8 mph) on two parts because: 1) A downhill I had not been on before even though there was a uphill in sight. Glad I did. Hit three 2" deep, 6 " wide depressions that span the road. Pavement was intact, so basically invisible. 2) Had not...

I am in the same boat (bike?) with a yumi (long bow). Here is the solution I am looking at. All the other things can work out and I did not want to get a dedicated bike just for gear because it was too much money for this purpose. I have used these on my boat and they are VERY stable and...

The ability to jump to the last read post, per user, per thread.

I like the Kiox because it is small. I only use the cadence/power screen. Otherwise watching the road. Being able to adjust the assist levels would be a key feature, but I make dues with cadence and gears.

Live there. Most people don't last long, 2-3 years. It is too isolated and too inconvenient. Restaurants are LIMITED as is shopping for food and goods. They start out thinking it is OK, but sunset is 4:30 now and continues for about a month. I tell people you could die in fall and no one...

Stayed home with Wife on an isolated island. Really.

I put in some Band-Aids and sterile wipes for scrapes and a pair of latex gloves to handle the chain...

One shop mechanic mentioned that the owner runs Turbo 100% of the time and burns out batteries. Said is was hard on the battery. Just an off the hand comment....

Narrow chains require tighter tolerances. Check your derailleur sprockets. A lot of times there is enough buildup that it starts to stick or cause the derailleur sprockets to not spin freely and the arm tightens then releases (slapping). Slap often happens when the chain does not flow over...

So much better than putting your tongue on a 9V to see if it works.

33mm? Hmm, assuming it is accurate, it might be hard to find... Alternately a high end seat with springs.... B67 Softened (brooksengland.com). Leather works great because it breathes and conforms to your shape and riding style. Only on a leather seat could I ride 150 miles in a day...

To the OP, it is complicated..... ;). But seriously, part depends upon how smooth the road is, tire width, road surface. In general there is an optimum pressure RANGE for each tire. Over all lower pressure, SUPPLE, side walls are showing to be more efficient. I agree with @smorgasbord...
