My 2 hour bike ride ended up being 2:45 min and I almost bonked so hard in the last 45 minutes and proceeded to absolutely inhale a Michelob Ultra when I got in the door. I hate being that hungry cause my stomach is in knots and I barely want to eat more than a nibble or liquids for like an hour after. Shoulda brought a gel.

i wore a deep v rim down so much that the metal on the edge of the rim ripped itself apart in the middle of the night that being said i went out of my way to get the rim brake version of my cervelo r5 also that being said i wouldn't recommend a rim brake bike to anyone other than pedantic fucks like me, ill keep riding rim as long as its available

Arson Daily posted:The fact that you use kilometers in your post indicates to me that you may live in a place that actually sweeps the roads and doesn't have a populace that trucks around unsecured loads of old building materials and broken glass. Plus the southwest where I live has a plant called a goathead which is part of the caltrop family of invasive plants that leaves these little 3 pronged spikes of hate everywhere in the spring. The fact that I can get through an entire ride on one tire/tube is actually pretty amazing because the roads I ride on are very, very..............very not good. my city is decent for road debris for sure too, but i also ride lots of "road bikes off road" kind of crap all im saying is that ive had a really good run so far with road tubeless with the pirelli cinturato (winter) and the gp5k (all other seasons) not even close to as good run with the schwalbe pro one...

Might be doing some track racing this weekend. Flying 200, kilo, and individual pursuit. I've never raced any of these events, or any event on a velodrome actually! Is 50x15 going to be decent enough gearing or should I find a heavier cog?

bicievino posted:It depends how fast you are! Generally folks who are new to the track are slower because of control issues, but also have slower legspeed, so a bigger gear isn't the worst. That said, the feeling of dying in too big a gear is IMO worse than the feeling of not being able to go faster because you are spun out. Evaluate your goals accordingly.

the Shimano SH-XC5 is a proper shoe that you can hike in or drunkenly walk around a city when someone steals your bike after you locked it up outside a sketchy kareoke bar at 3 am after drinking all day at an alleycat race and it goes on sale a lot, they are more of a cycling shoe than a walking shoe but the tread is good, they are fairly flexy, and laces are nice. otherwise there is the classic https://bike.shimano.com/en-US/information/news/the-legend-reborn--shimano-s-25th-anniversary-spd-sandal.html i mean i think im going to buy a pair of those drat sandals at this point and sometime in the far far future actually do a CX race in them numberoneposter fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Aug 19, 2020 |

went on a group ride on tuesday and had a sensible chuckle at the sound of all the plebs rubbing their disc rotors during the sprint section while me, a sophisticated aficionado of the rim brake experience, could clearly hear the slight creak of my press fit bottom bracket without the shrill scrape of rotors in my ears

tubs mount day 1 my DA C50 tubs have been stretching some veloflex roubaix for 2 years now, i intended to put these on my focus izalco max but i got hit by a car and that bike is now crunched, that suit is going to trial but i digress i took a look at the wheels and they are in good shape (they wernt on the bike when i got smoked) used a wheel stand and a heat gun and a custom made "tub scrapper" to scrape and smooth and remove excess glue from the surface i also managed to get rid of those rattling boogers from the inside of the rear wheel then i added fresh glue to both the rim and the tires and i wait until tomorrow to mount them numberoneposter fucked around with this message at 08:19 on Aug 29, 2020 |

That's an awesome deal and it will fit you, it's even a tad on the large size for your height but it will work. Buy it. There's nothing more than the obvious to look for, it's a deal no matter what. The computer and mount alone retail new close to the whole price of the bike.

Chinatown posted:So I have really gotten the cycling bug this summer. I'm on my GT Karakoram Sport hard tail MTB, bone stock. if you plan to upgrade the first question is what is your budget and the second question is what do you want to use it for. you say 20 miles a day mostly urban with some trails and im thinking all-city and the space horse. https://allcitycycles.com/bikes/space_horse its a "road style" bike but its got big tires and disc brakes and its made of steel and you can't kill the frame even if you try. my brother has one. its the jack of all trades bike and its a great deal. you can definitely take it on gravel trails with no issue.
