[Satya]

[mlproject]

looks like it supposed to be a compact geo frame? your knuckles must hit the ground when you walk if that's comfortable.

[chris_n]

[tylortakahisa]

Great price on that Aurora, I have the exact same helmet. Its one of the nicest looking helmets next to the Catlike Kompact, imo.

[skeetinmynose]

I like Specialized helmets because they make me feel like I'm in Tron.

Where's that Queen single?

[Brienneoftarth]

maybe this is already in here. But, I'd really appreciate if any one could suggest the best companies for bike lights. the ones you post on your handlebars.

One of, if not the best, but expensive.

bought my first fixie, 2010 fuji track classic. the pedals are horrible and im looking to upgrade.

i dont have much of a budget for those expensive mks models. suggestions?

[Tyro1]

wtf happened to wiggle? I cant get on the site?

[shwanger]

do yall wear helmets?? I've been riding for years without one, but now looking to get one esp hearing recent news of fatal accidents in my area. as of yet, havent found one that looks decent and not too bulky. any recommendations?

[jaac]

Yeh, i don't think they ever really look good, unless your rocking all the cycling clothing to go with them. Anytime i go to ride without one i just think "well i wore it the last 9205810285 times why not wear it now".

[zissou]

Man, I won't ride out of my driveway without one on. All it takes is one bad crash, or one stupid driver. For something a little more incognito, try a skate helmet? Although, they don't breathe much.

[pete mcstunna]

i'm trying to swap out drop bars, and am having trouble removing the brake levers from the original bars. does anybody know of a website with a tutorial or video regarding this adjustment?

[pete mcstunna]

ps i have tried finding such a how-to video. all of the one i've found have featured mountain bike handlebars

[zissou]

If you 'peel' up the rubber brake hoods, you will see a hex bolt at the base of the lever where it clamps onto the bars. Loosen the bolt, and the levers slide right off.

Skate helmets are a really bad idea.

Aesthetically, they're a lot more appeasing than cycling helmets. But there are reasons why there are certain helmets for certain sports/shit.

Cycling helmets are meant to slide, not stick.

So if you go down in a high speed, your head won't just stick to the pavement, resulting in a gnarly neck injury.

Wear a motorcycle helmet!

Best looking helmets I've seen, are either catlike or specialized.

If I ever chose to get a helmet, I'd go with either or. Specialized has a nice looking, semi low profile helmet in flat black.

But alas, "I'm too cool to get a helmet."

I've just hated them :/

For me, helmets are very uncomfortable and would cause me Problems by being too distracted by it, rather than the drivers near.

[jaac]

Black "cycling" helmets don't really look good, i have one and i think it looks like shit unless your dressed in cycling stuff. If your just gonna cruise in normal clothes i would go for a white/cream/opaque kind of one, or a dull silver.

[the Repeater]

Wearing a helmet implies that cycling is inherently very unsafe or dangerous, and I do not think that it is.

For an integrated shift lever, the bolts attach along the side of the lever body to the bar. For a brake lever only, the bolt is hidden by the lever body in the return position. Pull the lever, the bolt is exposed in the body, and you can loosen it enough to remove it.

[skeetinmynose]

I think a helmet is a must, especially for (often reckless) brakeless fixed gear riding. It's important to know how to handle your bike and conduct yourself properly in traffic as well. Accidents happen though, nonetheless

I haven't touched either of my bikes since I sold my LAS :|

[jakie]

specialized tactic, with visor removed is pretty clean and low profile

[seksu!]

met estro is nice, i use it

not too exp, looks okay, vents well for sure

[readytoignite]

helmets again... i suppose it's the same arguments about wearing seatbelts or condoms - you're obviously safer with one (assuming it's properly adjusted) but yeah it can be a pain in the ass and i don't always wear one riding around the city (a helmet that is... i mean on my head... i mean - nevermind)
