HAIL eSATA-n posted:This is my go-to bike/hike food https://bikepacking.com/plan/holy-moly-granoly-bars/ Those look bomb. Will have to try. I really enjoy these, especially because I'm lazy: Bobo's Oat Bars. A little pricey, but very tasty and calorie-dense while not being another boring, dry bar.

One Hammer flask should last like 4 hours of high-Z2 riding. For long road races, I usually also fill two bottles with a high carb mix like Skratch Superfuel, SiS Beta Fuel or just going double concentration on SiS Go. Stuff with proteins and amino acids in them? Meh. If I'm riding that far, that long, I'd more than likely stop for real food.

The bison bacon cranberry one is particularly excellent. I swear by Sour Patch Kids when I don't feel like drinking my sugar. Also I'm sure Coxswain (or anybody else who's ridden extensively in Japan) will support my claim that onigiri is basically the perfect bike food, especially with miso or red bean paste as filling.

I've been eating a lot of pb banana clif bars, apple pie and lemon bar lara bars, salted watermelon shot blocks, and haribo lately. Gonna have to do like 10k feet tomorrow to keep pace in this climbing challenge thing. Down to 3rd place now. jamal fucked around with this message at 06:19 on Jul 26, 2020 |

drat quick release skewers. 5 miles into the ride and this creak starts and I could have sworn it was the BB30 bracket finally needing maintenance. Got home and it was the skewers needing greased again. I don’t think I ever greased the skewers on my synapse but I’ve done it three times on the CAAD12. It’s more humid where I moved but I’m not riding in the rain-I can’t think of any other reason why I have to grease them more frequently.

Same problem here but I have a question: what part of the skewers did you grease? I just replaced the BB with a WheelsMFG thread-together and found out it was my skewers the whole time but now it's starting up again when I'm out of the saddle or putting power down when climbing.

I think "check the skewers" is the "have you tried turning it off and on again" of bike repair source: had a noisy drivetrain and took an embarrassing amount of time to check if the rear wheel was fully in the horizontal dropouts

Trying to sell my carbon bike and have some reseller telling me it's worth only $800 with a low offer of 400. It's a 2012 Cannondale Supersix 3 I feel like i'm being gaslit? A LBS told me $1500 and I have someone trying to trade their Specialized Roubaix Comp for it + $150 sweetner. Considering the Roubaix depending on their specs. The Cannondale is slight too big and I have my old Cannondale that needs more work, which I'd rather just offload cheaper and ride. cheese eats mouse fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Jul 26, 2020 |

I took the threads advice and copped a Schwalbe marathon plus for my rear wheel and drat was that thing a bitch to get on. Looks stout as all hell though so hopefully no more flat tires. It rides kinda weird but I'm sure I'll get used to it; after I get out of this urgent care I'm in for ridiculous Achilles' tendon pain gently caress!

It's a 2012 Cannondale Supersix 3 I just sold a 2008 Felt F75, a very similar bike to a 105/Ultegra CAAD, for $800. I probably could have squeezed a few extra bucks out of it by parting out the upgraded Ultegra wheels separately but meh easy sale. Don’t shortchange yourself right now, the market is crazy.

spf3million posted:I really like the Specialized Grail gloves. Padding in the palm instead of the heel/joints so it spreads out the pressure instead of concentrating it where it already is greatest. I had a pair of these. Great design but the glue holding the padding in failed after 6 months of riding. To Specialized's credit, they warranted them. But then, OP said he wants unpadded so that might be ideal...

Anyone using the PD ES600 pedal? There is little information out there but one scathing review saying that the weighting causes it to not rest in the right position for clipping in.

I have an older/cheaper version of that design and yeah, they don't rest right-side up. I use double-sided deore pedals instead

While we’re here, did other brands make one-sided SPD pedals? I had a really light set on my Lemond, and sold them, but now regret it. They were silver and had very little platform around the cleat retention.

One of the biggest benefits to SPDs is the double-sided pedal designs. If you’re going to give that up may as well look into other pedal systems IMO. I have the Deore XT M8020s on my gravel bike and they’ve been rock solid so far.

e.pilot posted:Quoting for 100% suck my dick Look, I'm not here to be a dick for the sake of it but it would be nice if we had something more than a wall of text in nonstop "summer camp activity leader" tone. Would it help if I threw together some expansions with pictures/video? I don't mind doing the work, I just think this is a bit of a missed opportunity for getting people into cycling with the new forum etc. Although now that I think of it, maybe that could be a thread all of its own, sort of a beginners intro to cycling deal? Might head off some of the repeated questions that always crop up.
