Is it low T from all the gooning?Are men slowly turning into women? Whats the deal?
>>536129851I don't own a bike because I'm not a gay kike.
>>536129851Why do bikes break all the time? They are pieces of shit really. Its always something with those things
>>536129906This is true. Its always broken, i hate bikes but im getting a belly so its time.
>>536129952You put ot away for winter and next time you use it the gears arent shifting right or something its so frustrating
>>536130002Yes! Its all so flimsy, even the (((quality shimano))) breaks down if you look at it the wrong wayI hate bikes so much bros. But they’re really the best for getting and not fat
>>536130079Getting fit*
>>536129851i have a car
>>536129851It doesn't break much
>>536130213And a belly?
>>536130399Nice bike.My chain and sprockets are rusted and doghaired, should i replace or just oil it?
>>536130506Clean up and apply oil
>>536129851We becoming women
>>536129851I own 2 cars and 2 trucks. The only reason I’d want a bike is for high-speed trail riding.
>>536129851The kind of bikes that burgers buy from Walmart are literally unfixable, it's all plastic snap together peices that aren't ment to take apart. They will last maybe a half a summer before something breaks on them and then they will sit in the garage for five years before they are dropped off at a thrift shop, and then the thrift shop has to pay someone to haul them off to the landfill because there is nothing they can do with them.
>>536130506Apply degreaser and use a wire brush to remove the oil. Then when its nice and clean, re oil.
>>536129851only fags ride bikesimagine wiggling your anus while riding your faggy bike Infront of people using the same road, faggot
>>536129851Imagine claiming to be a white nationalist and not being cyclist. Seriously if you are not watching Jonas claim the Maglia rosa today, watch niggerball(basketball)/favelaball(soccer) and/or your cycling ftp is below 2.5 watts/kg, you are not white you are just a faggot.>>536130002What sort of faggot doesn’t ride in winter?
>>536129851last time i had a bike it got stolen they cut the lock
>>536130728your anus is too weak
lmao timmies discussing their training wheels whilst their women are being bred by BIG BHARAT COCK
>>536130651Like wd40? Or breakcleaner?
>>536130412I do push ups and pull ups, among other exercises, and don’t have a belly but rather 22” pythons.
>>536130728>incoherent blathering Poorfag, the post. Why are anti cyclists always poor, blue collar types? I get you were abused as a child and have had a hard life and need to sell your body to get food. But why blame cyclists?
When I was a kid my jeans would always get caught in the chain so id have to keep one pant leg rolled into my socks, sometimes we would run over pop cans and they would get stuck between fork and the tire and make it sound like a dirt bike.
>>536130650Get a dutch brand, they sell gazelle overthere? Those never break, hans still has my opa’s bike in use. >will i ever see it back??
>>536130728 shitholes are generally completely unfit for riding a bike.stay brown and fat.
>>536130975Yes please.Back in the day we would put wasknijpers with parts of sandpaper? Into the spokes for that 2 cilinder sound
>>536130412do you really need to cycle everywhere to be fit? just go for a run and stop eating everything you fat fuck
>>536130002You are supposed to oil the gears.Also, temp varies wildly during winter, so metal parts work and deform slightly.You have to adjust them before going for a ride.It takes 10 minutes every spring and I leave my bike out in the snow because it's an old piece of junk I don't care about.Also, cars would also break if you let them rot in snow 6 months a year.
>>536130943I do those too and also swuatting, but the lower part needs more use. Cycling is truly amazing for that. It sucks, yea, but its based alsoFrom age 12 to 17 me and my friends cycled to school 17km heen and 17km terug. We where all ripped
>>536130213I have two cars and a bike.Cars are for long distance/work. Bike is for fun, mostly with the kids
>>536129851I do. In fact, working on my bikes relax me a lot. I could afford a new bike no problem, yet I preffer to work with what I already have.
>>536129851I just bought an old bicycle and today I'm gonna fix some things because it was unused for years
>>536131112understandable. drivers in my state suck and there’s homeless every where. your bike will get stolen if you leave it outside here
Chain is back on its tracks. Only the front tire wont pump, i think the pump is broken. Another thing that always break, a byciclepump. What fucking crap that shit is
>>536131287Nice bike. Is it a classic? Im not farmiliar with all brands and types.
These things are aids. The rubbers inside selfdestruct after a month
>>536131447I hate them so much too. Trying to pump up my kids’ smaller bikes is so difficult it makes me homicidal. What fucking kike decided they had to change what worked fine for decades?
>>536129851>Why isnt anyone fixing their bikes anymore?People don't know how to repair a tire or oil a chain, just buy a new bike instead
>>536131287Based pollack. Working on your own bike is the whitest thing you could do. My last bike lasted me 20 years (~50k km’s) because I properly maintained it. I have splurged and bought a new bike this year because of a windfall.
>>536130768That's was me. Hahaha assholeYes ... I'm black
>>536130650I just replaced the inner tubes on my ten year old Haro, one had a slow leak so I replaced them both as a precaution. Took me 15 minutes. My other bike is a Kona. All my friends have Treks, GT or Specialized. Walmart bikes are for kids or casual riders. Some of them are pretty decent bikes though. Just not meant for heavy use or performance…
>>536131570So true. Picrel are the old ones, if even oma could use it why change the format. But even these are made in china now, the wood plate made from paper mache. Vroeger was alles beter
>>536130002All the more reason to just walk
>>536129952just put the stroopwafels down dumbass
>>536131447Yes. Marin Nail Trail from around 1995.
>>536129851I usually ride cheap bikes that aren't worth fixing.
>>536132074Inpossible
>>536129851Things are actively getting harder to work on simultaneously. The Jews in charge make machines impossible to work on without expensive specialized single-use tools. And finding parts has become increasingly difficult too. Used to be able to get full parts catalogs with every single part and diagram listed and order the parts individually. Now, you're lucky if you can find diagrams at all, and if you do, the parts are incredibly expensive, only sold as part of a larger assembly, or not sold at all. Those in charge are actively creating a generation of men who can't do anything for themselves, it is by design.
>>536132302All the more reasons to work on older bikes instead of modern bike slop.
>>536129851
>>536132083Wow 1995, you keep it clean dude. I like older shit too. Older is better
I thought I was getting a deal buying a low power (22mph top speed) ebike but I didn't realize EVERY BOLT becomes loose after a few hours of riding using the motor. My handlebars almost flew off coming home. Word to the wise who are considering buying something like that, prepare to become a serial mechanic. maybe it's different if you don't buy chineseum
>>536131447>>536131570They work fine for me. What's wrong with yours?
>>536132618I didn't buy it in 95 tho'. I've built from the scratch.
>>536132663Rubber inside is leaking, so cant get air in tire anymore
>>536132800Even more impressive, you sourced all the different parts?
>>536129851Bicycles are for faggots. So only faggots would fix bikes. But faggots are, well, faggots.
>>536129851It's not cool to gain general skills that people call on you for anymore, you know what's cool? gaming a.k.a slight voluntary frustration that feels good at a certain rate per hour and every other skill acquisition journey has to compete with that. Just repurchase the thing and hope the teenager installing the cables did it right this time.
>>536132859Yes, bought every single part separately. Frame, support etc. Older bikes are easier to assembly, maintain - and it's way cheaper.
>>536132942
>>536132942You know it's possible to own a manly jacked pickup truck and a bike?But of course you wouldn't know about that because you define your sexuality by the type of vehicle you have as a coping mechanism to hide your obvious insecurities.
>>536133303Very cool, you should do another one and sell it for shekels
>>536133385Patel you're wrong and gay for using a bike for your food deliveries. I guess for us it's better your driver's license was revoked after you ran over those people.
>>536132942Why are fatties like this? Bicycles make them SEETHE.
>>536133628As I've stated before, I have two cars and use my bike for leisure.Also, A+ for originality.
>>536129851You what's gayer than not fixing your bike? Fixing your bike and then going on 4chan for a half-assed barely disguised humble bragging attempt.Just try and imagine what you looked like in 3rd person when you snapped the pic and made this thread
>>536131306Go gets some friends loser.
>>536133888>He has friendsFuck off my board normie
>>536133502I highly doubt people would like to buy such bike. There are literally thousands of old bikes available for 100 or less euros. And if somebody really wants retrobike, he probably likes to wrench his bikes himself.And last but not least - if I'd do this for shekels, it probably would stop being fun and relaxing.
>>536133852Whats humble about it?See my nice rusty bike and be jealous
>>536133364>>536133385>>536133658Cope and seethe poor faggotsIf you were faggots with money you'd at least have teslas or some other kind of golf cart.
I assemble bikes at work sometimes, they're pretty simple desu. Brakes are pretty simple even if discs can be an arse to align. Even gears are pretty straightforwards.
>>536130002Just keep it inside when you're not using it. I've had the same bike for almost 10 years now and have barely encountered any issues.
>>536129851my 10yr old bike hasn't broken even after 4 years of usetho the other day I had the tire replaced for lack of time
>>536135566oh aside from the chain jumping off but that can be fixed with just a little persistence
>>536129851I need a big flat bolt thong that goes down into the handle bar into the bike frame or something, I messaged Kink Bikes and they didnt give a fuck at all, customer service sucks and didn't have the part to their own bikes so it sits in the back, broken. Everything is too specialized, tedius and complicated these days.
>>536129851I fix my bike but my bike has a motor on it because I'm an energy conservationist. I conserve my energy.Also because I'm not gay.
>>536129851I can ride my bike with no handle bars
>>536135826Yea its the chinese brands, they have real bad aftermarket options
>>536129851Let the goyimg deal in the real world.
I don't own a bike. If I want to get somewhere on foot, far away without a vehicle, I longboard. I'm 33 and I think I'll be this way for life. It's actually surprisingly easy to slow down on a longboard when you're going fast downhill too, you just footbrake or stand up slide.
>>536138112>he's 33 and uses a long boardIts time to grow up
>>536129851I just go to eriks bike shop, at eriks you can basically get whatever you need and then some. Eriks repairs bikes, tires, chains, gears etc. They even help me put turn signals on my bike (I dont actually use them) which i thought was pretty cool. They even have coffee and water in their lobby. Eriks has a lounge with comfy chairs where you can wait while they change your oil or perform a tune up. Thats why for me its always been eriks. Their staff is so kind and welcoming, with their blue and pink hair and overwhelmingly lesbian staff. Yup, for me its eriks.
>>536129851I’m good at fixing tires, replacing them or even patching them, even good at fixing the gears, one thing I never got good at was brakes. I take it to a bike shop at pay some dude 40-60 bucks to dust my brakes for me on occasion. They get it fucking perfect. I make em either too loose or too tight,
>>536138210I'm just used to it man. why change if you're used to something?Better yet, another question -- why own a bike? I have an electric car so the last time I longboarded because I had to get somewhere was like 3 months ago.
>sealed gearbox>waxed chainThat's all you need. Retards buying exposed gears and leaving their bike in the snow>duhhh why it not workRetarded
>>536131287nice, solid forks enjoyer, mine too has vuelta wheels, I rebuilt it into an fat man bike, had it fro 20 odd years, just built another similar for my daughter, 20 quid for the bike, 60 quid on parts and it's peachy
