  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

    Jump

  • At $1,000 that'd be a hard pass for me even though I love Valve, I could easily build something better for less. I seriously doubt that'll be the price too, it'll probably around $600-800.

  • Hey, those are on my list too!

  • Would you swap a Sunrace freewheel hub with a Shimano cassette hub?

    Jump

  • Compare how the teeth look on yours vs a new one, you can get an actual cassette wear tool but you should be able to see how warn down it is visually.

    Feel free to post pics too for second opinions.

    What do you do to keep your bike safely locked up?

    Jump

  • I bring my bike into my office and keep it folded up under my desk, but when I can't, I use a Skunklock Chemical U-lock and supplement it with an additional lock or two if I have to lock up somewhere sketchy. You can run a lock through your seat and use security bolts, or just take the post out entirely and bring it with you.

    Be sure to lock the rear wheel through the frame especially if you have a hub motor. I also recommend having a tracker or three hidden on your bike, a motion alarm, and if you have a really nice bike, insurance specifically for it is a good idea (personally I just buy entry level but good quality bikes).

    If you're looking for a quality cut resistant u-lock, Litelock X1 and X3 seem to be the best but I like the active defense of the Chemical (nobody has tried their luck yet lol). It's also good to keep self defense options on you in case you encounter a thief in the act (pepper spray is a great option - legal almost everywhere, light, compact, nonlethal, has some range, and will work equally well on aggressive animals).

  • I got suspended for defending myself against getting hit in the head with a chair when I was a kid. School policies are totally fucked. Guess they just wanted me to stand there and sustain massive head trauma? Assholes.

    Jump

  • Damn, I should really go back and play this. Bet it runs great on Steam Deck too!

  • Would you swap a Sunrace freewheel hub with a Shimano cassette hub?

    Jump

  • They are probably compatible according to SunRace's Q&A https://sunrace.com/faq-qna/:

    Yes, our products are compatible with Shimano and / or Sram. Our cassettes will fit onto the HyperGlide fitting (for both Shimano and Sram drive trains) or XD (for Sram drive trains). For derailleurs and shifters the standard is Shimano-compatible, unless it has been stated clearly that the item is Sram-compatible.

    That said, is the cassette still in good shape? Might want to confirm it's still got a good amount of life in it before you go to the trouble of swapping it out.

  • Why go through the trouble to use Arch?

    Jump

  • So you can tell people you use Arch btw

  • Bicycle trailers are underrated. You can never have too many.

  • Not mine, but yeah, I don't see OP pulling this off in a hilly area.

  • Personally, I just opt for tubes + flatout for most of my bikes, and for my fatbike I have that in addition to Tannus Armour (taking the rear hub off is a pain in the ass).

  • Stand over big bumps and drops FYI, even with a suspension because it can still bottom out. Seatpost suspensions are OK for tiny bumps, but you really need to stand and make your legs the suspension for bigger stuff.
