Riding Is The Answer

chainslap

It doesn’t really matter what the question is, does it? Personally, there’ve been many queries that the bicycle, and the motion of the body it takes to move it, has provided the solution to. What are yours?

To evolve, sometimes you have to devolve. Not to s To evolve, sometimes you have to devolve. Not to say that paulcomponent Klampers aren't a high-end bit of kit, they are just simpler. We love simpler. While looking to Apocalypse-proof the @jaegher_cycles gravel muncher, it was out with electronics and hydraulics and in with the reliability and simplicity of mechanical shifting and braking. Those in the know, know these are the go. Check out our review on site now @ chainslapmag.com link in our bio... #gravelbike #mechanicaldiscbrakes #flatbargravelbike #paulcomponent
I see a few old steel frames on here getting the w I see a few old steel frames on here getting the welded disc tab treatment. But I don't have the time, money, and welding equipment or a friend with those, so I've used this adapter on a couple of bikes now with good results. Just needed a bit of grinding of the outer plate to clear the stays. Quick, cheap and easy for a rat bike conversion! @save.the.rat.bike @26isnotdead @26inchlifestyle @whateverbikes @hoj_lab @steelfriendsratbikes @garys.projects @toastyrides @schoolyardprojects @thatguysbikes @calebsmithphoto #neoretrobike #steelisreal #steelisrealmtb
The basket bike has become basketless, much to the The basket bike has become basketless, much to the chagrin of Mads who has to balance delicately now. It's also about to become a disco bike, thanks to the stripped raw Surly fork, and an adapter for the frame. Mainly becuse I need the rim brake wheels for another project, and I got the Mavic 317s for less than 30 bucks, so why not. The modified rack is from an old Honda postie bike apparently, thanks to my mate who dug it out of a pile of junk. A bargain bin @ritcheylogic Koyote bar completes the new look for this ratty bastard. @save.the.rat.bike #neoretrobike #ratbike #mads @marinbikes @mavic_mtb @surlybikes
One of the 'problems' with HeadShok Cannondales is One of the 'problems' with HeadShok Cannondales is getting a stem to customise the cockpit, ie one that is less than 140mm and a crazy angle. I love the @tinker.juarez old-school look, but not the extreme riding position. It's not 1996 anymore! It was @bikelifesupplyco and @reversecomponents to the rescue with their S-Trail stem. It only comes in 60mm, maybe an 80 would've done the @cannondalemountain F1000 a little better, but this is exponentially better both up and down. Add a @fsa_mtb flat bar from the GCs at @wideopennz and it's XC heaven over here. @26_aint_dead @26isnotdead @26inchlifestyle @hoj_lab @ridecannondale #neoretrobike @cannondalecool @fuckthediscbrakecollective @rimbrakecollective @rimbrakeriders @cannondale_restoration
