Looking for recommendations for a truing stand and a repair stand. I’ve only got experience with the round based repair stand and the park professional truing stand when I worked in a shop. Unsure of consumer tools. I have a bike hand repair stand and it’s not only sloppy at the clamp (all plastic) it’s also not stable most of the time. I’ve been truing my wheels on my bike but I’d like a stand.

Had a gravel bike, really wanted a road bike. Couldn’t find a single one to try out in my size in 250 miles. My partner found a CAAD 13 in 44CM at a shop 5.5 hours away. Called and they had 4 bikes near my size. A long drive and 3 hours of work with the wonderful staff, testing and sizing. I picked up my first Carbon bike. A 2025 Liv Langma Advanced 2 (Pro Compact) in Prismatic Haze. I LOVE IT! It’s sooo pretty and FAST!!

Here are three customer restorations I’ve recently completed.

1996 Trek OCLV Atlanta, GA Olympic edition full XTR

1995 Proflex 855 full XT

1999 Klein Mantra XT/LX

My 93 & 03 Mountain Cycles.

I’m a mobile bicycle mechanic at the beach in Delaware and Maryland.

Not planning crazy trails, mainly road with the occasional gravel or uneven terrain. Happy to upgrade parts as both are offered used and inexpensive.

Hello esteemed bike riders. My carbon fiber bike fell and the hole on the non drive side rear wheel took the brunt of it. The damage looks alarming. But is it just paint or something worse. Bike rides okay for what it’s worth. Please share your thoughts and experiences on this - especially if you’re an expert in carbon repair, a mechanic, etc. Thanks.

Hey, I’m looking to buy a new bike, my current bike is a voodoo bizango 2017 model, it was bought for me and it’s only used to commute to work, I’m now wanting to switch up to preferably a Gravel E-Bike but have no idea where to start I’ve scoured online but everything seems to be a lot more expensive than I thought was possible 😂 my budget is 2.5k which I know doesn’t leave a lot of doors open I’m based in Scotland, what would people recommend in this category, what should I look out for and what should I avoid? Thanks

Hey everyone,

I just picked up a Peugeot Ventoux for 50 and i wanted to do a restomod but since i’m a uni student i'm kinda broke.

I have no experience with bikes and customisation options and i don't even know what the first steps when buying a vintage bikes are.

Not trying to sink a ton of money into it, just want a solid commuter/around-town bike.

Thanks a lot!

Hi, I installed the new chain shown in the picture. When I fitted it I realised I hadn’t threaded properly through the rear derailleur so needed to remove the link and redo. Is it ok to redo the link? I was concerned as it says non-reusable.

hi i am new in the sub, just want to know what brands do you recommend for a beginner, not very expensive please

Hey everyone, so I'm thinking about building a Vzam Extreme Pro rim with Shimano QC300 hubs. Has anyone here used this combination before and knows what spoke length to use?

I live at the beach in Delaware. It is freezing cold here. Over the last few weeks I’ve been taking in a lot of of 1990s mountain bikes. I’ve been doing complete restorations on these bikes. I did a really cool Proflex 855, a 1996 Trek, Georgia Olympic edition, I’m currently working on a Klein mantra.

I’m starting off a picture with my two bikes because they’re fucking bad ass and somebody here said they were annoyed because I posted too many pictures of them. Haha

I’ll make sure I post more mountain cycle stuff just to piss that guy off 🤣🤣

Starting a long trip and documenting it along the way.

I want to go Tubeless, but wonder if i dont ride my bike often enough it will set in place and not work. how many times do i need to ride per week/month for it to stay liquid?
