Finished my new bike then looked at it because of the shit weather.
Now that it's been out some time what's the general consensus of the half link included?
ratchet to hazard lite, 36h. i should be lacing this 3x is that right? spoke calculators say 184mm spokes for this build but im sure the ones i took out of an identical wheel i dismantled were 186s
also marmy to haz lite, thats a 186 job yes?
Put a Ruben on the front. I forgot how much of an arse 7ka rims were when changing a tyre with decent thickness sidewalls. Bastards are hard work.
I'm on my bike for 4-8 hours a day during the (lower) Midwest winter, so I can probably offer some advice. The hardest things to keep warm are hands, feet, and to some extent face. Core is important but if you have a good jacket or two and maybe some base layers, you should be fine. Legs are whatever.
For hand coverage, I wear light winter gloves or even work gloves for any temp over freezing. For <25-30, I just use these Celtek lobsterclaw snowboard mittens. Anything warmer and my hands start to sweat uncomfortably, the mittens are THAT warm.
For the head, usually just a normal wool cap. I don't usually feel like I need face protection unless it's <25F, in which case a neoprene balaclava is great. If your eyes get really fucked up by the cold, you can get some snowboard googles, too. edit-- I also generally pack some basic shop glasses if it's going to rain or sleet, because squinting through that shit sucks, but I also don't care enough to pay for real ''cycling eyewear.''
For foot coverage, I switch to less ventilated shoes (right now, Chrome Kursk Pros), and neoprene booties over those if it's <25F, or cold and wet.
For the core, any combination of these, depending on temp/conditions:
-Merino wool or synthetic jersey base.
-Pearl Izumi soft shell for most days, hoodie under that if it's <35F.
-Slightly heavier, but still light Marmot shell if it's <25F, hoodie under that if it's even colder.
For legs, usually just merino leggings and regular-ass work shorts or pants over that, depending on the temperature.
tl;dr-- Marmot and Pearl Izumi make good shells and snowboarding gloves work well. Get a balaclava if your face is cold.
Nobody posted in this thread for over a month and what does that have to do with the rest of the thread?
Actually I am waiting for the Galaxy hats to come out. I think I could rock one
Rockin like Dokken
yeah primo make wheelchair tyres as well
Also i would like to add that i thought Primo is pretty big.
I THINK have seen belts for idk what kind of motors, with the Pr1mo logo, super thin 20" racing comets and other racing tires... Seems like they are in a lot more than 'Just' bmx.
