You misspelled 42.

[mirocu]

Dangit!

[Sakiri]

lol.

So how's everyone?

Trying to find a bike under 30k kr with a frame that fits and will carry my weight is proving to be harder than I thought.

[mirocu]

You know, Blocket is a thang

[Sakiri]

I don't want a used pedelec that's likely to need some work.

Edit, besides, anything I find near me on blocket I have to go pick up. Probably nothing near my shiz town too.

We don't even have a bike shop!

Biltema has ebikes? There's probably one not too far from you

[Sakiri]

About an hour i think. The sports store there sells them too. But it's a bit far.

Online ordering is my best bet.

I'm just trying to figure out if I should worry about the weight limit or not.

[mirocu]

One hour isn't much. Plus you get to get a feel for it irl!

[Sakiri]

Biltema doesn't have what I'm looking for though. Their no brand motors scare me.

I want quality parts. And an hour is he'll when I need my in laws to drive me.

Fair enough

[Sakiri]

Well.

I bought one.

[mirocu]

Looks like a good'un

[ghastley]

Just make sure it comes with a woman's saddle. Take care of your Ischial Tuberosities!

Too many bikes have a "unisex" saddle that's uncomfortable equally for men and women.

[mirocu]

Bum needs to be comfy!

[ghastley]

The good thing is that once you have found a comfortable saddle you can put it on any bike. And a good one lasts for ever.

[Sakiri]

Yup. I figure if the saddle sucks I can replace it.

Need to get a helmet, chain/lock and tool kit. Think we got an air pump here somewhere. If not I'll buy one of those, too.

Any suggestions for stuff to stick in a tool kit? Other than a multitool of some sort, Allen keys and other bits and bobs.

I gotta make a list. I'll need chain lube too. SO EXCITED.

[ghastley]

I always carried multi-tool, plus a spare inner tube and means to replace it (tyre levers especially). And a pump that you take off the bike and carry with you. There are some nice compact ones now. You need a larger version at home for more efficient pumping when it's not a "breakdown" situation.

I'll take a look around.

Helmets aren't mandatory if you're over 15 and they look stupid, but id rather not have my brain spilled on the pavement.

I need to hit Intersport for that though because I have no idea what'll fit.

Well, for any of my motorcycles I always had a Philips screwdriver and a few small block keys for very specific purposes. Best advice I think though is to look over your bike to see what you think you might need. Maybe it has more Hex screws than Philips for instance.

You want to keep the list of onboard tools short though, only the bare minimum for emergencies.

SO EXCITED.

[Sakiri]

There's a few Im finding i absolutely must have, like a chain tool for breaking/joining chains when i replace, but i need to make dure i have everything for assembly first! Haha.
