Is this sound normal?
Just got my first race bike. Has onyx hubs and a shimano disc brake.
When pedaling it makes this sound. Any idea if it’s normal? And what is causing it?

When buying a used bike, what tune up/once over do you do before you ride it?
Just got my first race bike and got it used, so before I go on the track I want to make sure it’s good to go
Just getting into the sport and got my first bike used. Didn’t come with a seat/seat post or pedals.
Do pedals and seats matter?
Any good budget ones to recommend?
Can’t add pics but it’s a 22” top tube ssquared frame

I just started racing this year, and have an opportunity to buy a chase frame and a few parts for 150$ from a guy at my local track I race against.
Will need to get the rest of the parts I need but I think this could be a good bike.
What’s your opinion?
Need some help on why approach to take for this patio resurface
Patio is 14x4ft and has a top coat on it that is starting to fail. Owner said it’s been there before they moved in 14 years ago
I’m not sure what product is currently on there. But my plan is to remove all loose material, feather grind the edges smooth for a decent transition, then apply a poly/modified mortar patch then cement top coat the whole porch.
Please advise is this would be a decent approach or if you recognize the material on there that I can try and source

Thank ya

I know it’s not the most practical thing but I want it. Anyone have an idea on the yellow handled tool?
