I posted this before looking for topics, but it kinda ended up being online support for general bicycle troubles.

Which is a good thing! Ask your questions about bicycles that are currently on your mind and we all try to help.

    or a co-op bin full of nice vintage parts.

    My biggest gripe with xbiking is everyone trashing their nice vintage parts to blow a bunch of money on some crappy plastic advent 1x setup and aliexpress crankset. Wasteful and unnecessary.

      That’s fair. My first build was shimano parts from a parts bin and it worked great. I might push back a bit on the advent. I’ve only heard decent stuff about the advent x set. That said, much rather buy used/parts bin hen new.
