Also, I now know that when the battery is run right down it lets out 6 loud beeps!

It looks like a good helmet, for sure. The visor should be removable and be able to be replaced by a smaller sun shield, like my Bell. It would probably do well, keeping debris and dust out of your eyes, if you are riding on a trail. The lights are cool, but I’m not too sure about the turn signals. I always use proper hand signals, when riding. Either way, I’ve been hit twice, so I’d rather look a bit goofy than be injured or killed on my bike.

True enough! I don't think that would really impact the issue though. The trim clicks are built into shifter and are really there to accommodate chain line differences from low gears to high gears.

Thirty years ago when rims were soft they couldn't usually have even spoke tension all the way around. Once the wheel was straight and round, it was what it was. Modern rims seem very quick and easy to build, but they probably need extra work to even up the spokes. Old, soft rims were out of true with the slightest adjustment.

Also, not all brake discs are compatible with sintered brake pads! 👏 Make sure your discs are compatible before you replace your pads on your bike or else you’ll have a bad time, they will fuck up your discs and you will have little metal shavings all up in your hub and shit. There are three different types of brake pads. Organic (softest), resin and sintered (hardest). Resin pads are perfectly fine for most people and most uses.

I'm so disgusted to learn the hard way, that a flimsy kickstand can lead to a tipped over bike... which can lead to a bent derailleur... which can lead to the derailleur bumping bike spokes... which can lead to broken spokes... which can lead to a messed up wheel needing overhauling... and need for a new derailleur (eventually, after enough years of bending the hangar back, & more & more falls... until you are finally fixing the whole bike)... & concern about the chain being twisted out of shape... , & PRAYING all the way home.... & some serious swipes into the aluminum frame, getting thin spots... I'm Kick stand shopping right now at the SAME time I fix all these other parts... or maybe to mod the one i have with addition of a rubber tip used on crutches. Definitely LOVE kickstands.
