What makes lower end Shimano hubs so smooth and quiet? Other "pedestrian" hubs are all twice as loud and do a big clank when you catch the engagement point, and expensive shit is all buzzsaws.

>>2067406
I dunno but I agree.
They prob had decades to refine the manufacturing process desu

>>2067406
I wish the expensive shimano hubs were buzzsaws. You can hardly hear them...

>>2067415
just buy a different hub if you want to be an obnoxious piece of shit, anon
there are so many options to be a fucking nuisance, let reasonable people have an option to be considerate

>>2067406
Everything is packed in heavy grease because the loose ball bearings are right next to the pawls and the pawls are large and heavy. Cartridge bearing hubs can be used with light oils which is the chief reason why expensive hubs are so loud. Tear your shimano hub apart, clean the grease off everything, and rebuild it with phil wood tenacious oil and I'll bet it will significantly enlouden it.

>>2067428
Will a buzzsaw stop buzzing if I pack it with grease? I don't want the sound.

>>2067432
Most likely if it's oil now, grease will make it quieter. It can also introduce more drag on the freehub, so watch out for that. You wouldn't want to throw a chain just for a quieter hub, right? Well maybe you would, but most wouldn't.

>>2067037
Whatever you buy, also budget a complete tuneup with servicing the suspension components and replacing pivot bearings (if a full sus). The tuneup should also touch hub/bb/headset bearings. MTB people tend to be super hard on their bikes and don't service them until they physically do not function.

Anyone have experience with toseek carbon handlebars? Specifically ZXB-TWO if that matters.
Couple years ago I got sent these by accident and the seller never asked for that back after shipping the correct ones so I've had them sitting on the shelf since. They seem fine and are pretty stiff but I'm hesitant to actually fit them.

Deep clean of bicycle parts, then oiling, good idea?

>>2067458
Depends on the parts. Cartridge bearings have fragile seals that don't take well to being removed and re-added.

I was considering getting a canyon endurace allroad as my everyday bike + road bike.
Id be biking about 2km each way but I live in a pretty spread out town so it could easily be 5 or 6km on the way home.
Id also like to start road biking / light gravel.
Ive had 2 grizl 6s before but they were stolen when I lived in the city but Ive since moved. I found that I never really used the low gears and never shifted to the smaller front cog.

What do you guys think?

>>2067468
Sounds like a good use case for a fixie or a single speed, I'm usually the last to say don't get a road bike but bro. You never even used the full gear range? Big surprise there with your 6km ride.

If your good bikes keep getting stolen and you're a flatlander who is close enough to just walk, you're a perfect candidate for the shitbikes that /n/ is always pushing on people with more demanding requirements.

>>2067473
Ah my previous commute was 10 each way. I also used previous bikesfor road cycling (usually 30-60km rides) and I never used the lower gears yeah, only really the high gearsc
Also cos Im a flatlander.
I kinda want that bike not only for commutes but for my entry level road ass where Ill go back go my 30-60km rides.
Im deffo considering a fixie but Id like just one bike right now.
This reply became too big - so my question is: is that bike I linked good value for money for a) commuting and b) longer rides once or twice a week?

>>2067473
Also forgot to say - yeah a shitbike can deffo hit both my asks but Id like something new.
Getting stolen isnt that big of a deal, I just insure.

>>2067468
colnago y1rs or bust

>>2067481
eh if Im gonna go higher end theres a pronghorn shop a few minutes away

why is there a sudden obsession with "dutch bikes" and why do westoids refuse to just call them cruisers anymore?

>>2067458
Why are you so poor you don't have 100% sealed parts?

Sealed gearbox.
Belt drive.
Hydraulic brakes.
Tubeless tires.
Dish wheels.
Internal routing.

Zero Maintenance.

>>2067490
because of a YouTube channel called Not Just Bikes, the guy moved to the Netherlands and decided he would start bloging about urbanism.

>>2067491
post bike, asshole .
with timestamp.

If your bike has even a single part exposed you are a poorfag and I revel in your failure. Why are you adjusting anything let alone replacing it? Just get a Dutch bike and everything comes right off the rack hermetically sealed. It just works.

Stop being retarded hicks. Bicycles are not meant to be serviceable.

>>2067458
wtf? bikes are maintenance free thats the whole point

>>2067458
literally just buy a new one

>>2067491
>>2067501
>>2067503
shut up, asshole

>>2067505
Maybe you should try getting a job?

>>2067505
>>2067458
If you are so fucking poor you can't afford a new bike, you have failed in life.

>>2067505
Awww is the little poorfag gonna cry? Is getting a real job making big figgies too hard for you? Enjoy all the black gunk and salt and jeet shit on your hands because you're too retarded to just get a new Trek when your chain goes bad.

>>2067331
>>2067383
you dont have to replace sealant ever. you just damaged your bike permanently and voided the warranty

>>2067465
Those are sealed parts. You're not meant to replace them. Bearings are one-time one-way installs.

Trying to get the pedals off my bike but the posts around which the flat part of the pedal rotates appears to be welded into place. Is that normal? I'd like to remove my chain to clean it by soaking, too, but the derailleurs are both riveted together so I can't get the chain out.

>>2067514
I think you might be actually retarded.

>>2067514
>pedals
It's like a visible, tangible, physical form of poverty you can touch

>>2067514
kys

>>2067514
Pedals aren't a replaceable part.

>>2067520
Then why do aftermarket aluminum pedal replacements exist?

>>2067524
They don't

>>2067476
nta but it looks like a pretty good pick. 1k for that is solid, proper hydros and cues is fine. U can always get a better more racey bike used if a nigga just wants a bike now then thats one of the more sensible ones i have seen people link. Friend got an alu cannondale topstone base model with cable dicks for very close to that this would have been a better choice

>>2067514
do you have pictures? ive never seen a pedal axle welded in place. or are you saying it feels seized when trying to remove it? the left side (non drive side) pedal is generally reverse threaded
