Peachy

But also, the ventilation seemed inadequate

Maybe that was a mistake lol

@Rеnаud I actually tried that one, and decided against it because it was pretty heavy. Something like 600g

I guess they can be made with heavy, scratch resistant glass

I wonder if motorcycle helmets suffer from the same issue?

@Rеnаud that's a shame, I was thinking of getting one to use with my grocery getter bike to make it harder to lose my riding sunglasses lol

Does make any sense?

@Criggie I guess one thing I didn't consider is that because the visor is further away from your eyes than a pair of sunglasses would be, it might be harder to "see through"/mentally filter out scratches

Even if it's not sunny

And to protect from bugs

For me personally, I have to ride with sunglasses all the time because the wind irritates my eyes

Do the visors scratch/haze more than sunglasses?

Omg, I just saw the first rider with their visor down!!!

This is while they're actively riding their bike too

I've been in Paris for a couple days, and I noticed lots of people riding with helmets with integrated wind visors. But everyone has the wind visors turned up! Does anyone know why?

Maybe it's just because I bought bad ones

I've had bad experiences with padded saddle pads, they tend to just, not work lol

@Criggie on my butt

Are there padded bike shorts without padding in the crotch area? I've tried a lot of different bibs, and all of them make my crotch numb

At least for derailleurs

@gschenk imo, q'auto is the only available electronic shifting on the market that would actually be beneficial for many people

@Criggie I'm planning on covering my bike with hex locks. Plus, I saw tons of beaters there with Jones H-bars, so I'm not too worried

I'm thinking something like the Jones H-bar or Velo-Orange crazy bars

I think it might have actually been easier on my fixed gear with pursuit bars than the geared bike with cruiser bars I was riding lol

I want to move to Portland, and when I visited, it had pretty good infrastructure, so I want to have the option to have a super relaxed bike for grocery getting. But the city has lots of hills, and riding up those hills with cruiser bars was really hard

Hey y'all, I was wondering what alternative handlebars you'd recommend for city cruising in a city with lots of step hills

@Criggie What does the funeral for a company look like?

The more a joke has to be explained, the funnier it is

You can tell the joke is funny because my explanation had more than 20 words 🙂

@Willeke The joke was that "too many redirects" is a type of "stack overflow" programming malfunction, and "stack overflow" is also the name of the Stack Exchange programming forum

@Willeke maybe you can get some help on the Stack Overflow site 🤔?

I should probably put some locktite on that lol

Every 6 months, I need to re tighten the steerer tube extender on my mom's bike to 20nm. Even tho I could theoretically do it with the multi-bit, I never do

With the exception of high torque applications

@gschenk it was designed to be kept on the bike for light, on road maintenance. But I use it for all of my maintenance because I don't like fiddling with Allan keys until I get the right size

@Criggie you can stick those super tall panniers on them, AND fit a pizza box on the top of the rock

@Criggie you're right, that is kind of weird lol

Are there mounts on the head tube itself? Or does the basket just clamp around the head tube?

I kind of want to get one for my Trek District 4 Stagger

@Criggie I love head tube mounted baskets!!! They're so much nicer than handlebar baskets

Here's a picture without glaring reflections :)

It's a double ended hex bit, 6mm on one side, 5mm on the other. Except each has a hole for a retracting 4mm and 3mm bit respectively. The spring is inside the whole contraption and allows the 3mm bit to retract and engage the 5mm

I was doing something stupid and accidentally broke my beloved 4 in 1 hex bit, so y'all get to see this (literally) exploded view of how this really handy tool works!

@Criggie alas, the problem I'm having is with the box end, not the open end

Or the average across 6 opposite tooth pairs?

How would you make that measurement on a 12 point box end? Do you just take the largest distance between any two teeth?

*how would one tell
