Cockpit view
Looking for a smaller M6 inside threaded bolt (?) for my Bacchetta Giro Idler because I have an IGH.
You an cut both down to size.
Double check the female piece for thread length
For the male piece put a nut on the threads before you cut. Then file / grind the threads to a soft edge. Lastly unthread the nut. Make sure if spins freely before removing it all the way. If you need to thread it back in and re-file a bit do that before unthreading completely removing.
Maybe consider a trailer. My first cargo solution was an old folding kid trailer. Lasted 1000’s of miles.
They are light, filled up pretty small, quick to attach, can carry loads very well
I have a feeling that you and I would get along over coffee.
Carry on and be safe out there!
Oh. Now I see it. Mobile view is misleading Thanks
Oh I loved these types of rides when I lived in the Netherlands. It was so easy to literally go as the wind blew me.
I would set off full of snacks and a gps waypoint at a train station down wind from Eindhoven.
I would not plan out the ride before hand as there are many good paths. I would instead choose the nicest (tree lined for sunny days … tree lined for rainy days …) way that generally keep me on my heading.
I would discover the most beautiful routes and points of interest along my way.
Eventually I built up a good club of riders who would join for these adventures
Nowadays I live in hilly CA and it’s getting harder to make those types of miles.
Do you have a link? Interested in seeing what the device was
You would t leave your other belongings on the road. Why has leaving you car been normalized!
I’m on a 2013 Vaya. That bike changed my life. Easily over 20k miles and still going.
Happy trails
All the fuss over there really left a bad impression of that site. After many years I’m happy to shift over here
Lemmy is what Reddit was meant to be so many years ago
Sweet beer run bike!
There’s a lot to be said with merging as fast or faster than traffics.
When you can reduce the number of obstacles you have to track it’s easier to start safe
I ride with lots of annoying lights, high vis, distinctive cowboy helmet, take the lane, always my rear view glasses mirror.
I ride aggressive and assertive in traffic/busy towns and chill waaaay back off road and on paths.
Except of course when I don’t….
