Poncture proof is widespread on my shithole country where our main method of transporting goods are trucks. Usually these staples and thick wires come from trucks with bad tires or poorly secured cargo. The tape put in some 50g plus in each tire but are worth the weight mostly

Careful anon

I signed myself to a small audax of 125km that will happen next saturday, the most i ever rode on a single day was 110km in about 4:30 hours on a single speed so i figured now is the time to increase the mileage with the benefit of gears. I'm in doubt about my setup tho, installed two water bottle holders with one 500ml and another 750ml bottle plus a mini pump and went for a short 10km ride to see if everything holds in place and the weight is noticeable. It wasn't really and everything was tight but i'm still not sure about the 1.25 liters of water, can anyone more experienced tell me if that's all really necessary for 125km? That's less than a century, it will be around 20c to 28c on the day of the ride and height gain will be 2500m. No support car or hydration stops.

Really weird how it broke since the wheel was straight as an arrow and it's not like I was putting out massive power through it. Gotta find a shop that can replace the spoke and true that wheel, which is supposedly notoriously hard to true unless the mechanic is familiar with how to do it. And I've got no Campy shops near me. fml.

oooh thats gonna cost you if you go to a shop. I would seriously consider just trying to buy the spoke online and doing it yourself. If the wheel was straight as an arrow it should not be that hard to retension just that one spoke.

It's also got meme nipples that are somehow mounted using a magnet. Luckily it happened over 50 km from home so I can claim it all on my travel insurance, including the taxi ride back home.

I was thinking about selling the wheelset and buying chink carbon one so I don't have to change brake pads and adjust brakes when changing wheelsets. This just reinforces that thought. The wheels itself have been great and haven't had any problems with them for the ~20 000 km I've ridden them but it's just so much hassle to have wheels that require different brake pads and brake widths.

Ironically enough this was my first time riding them after I got new wheels few months earlier.

It's not much but I've been really trying to hit 200w avg for 20mi and I finally fucking did it. Granted it's not accurate but until I get a PM it's good enough for me.

I did have a good bit of hand pain during my ride, nothing unbearable, so I don't know if my saddle tilt is to far forward or my hands aren't using to staying in the same position since I was always shuffling around trying to get comfortable.

I'm fucking stoked though.

That "calculated" power isn't accurate at all. My avg varies 5kmh on the identical route with identical power, just from wind influence.
Just forget that power estimate and get a cadence sensor + a heart rate chest strap. Much more training value in these measures. It's also a lot cheaper than an actual PM.

Hey, I'm looking to buy a new bike, but I'm torn. Im in a small town for the near future, but I don't know where I'll be in two years or how far I'll have to travel.

I used to have an old fashioned cruiser that was steel and a how to ride, I'd ride it 20k to work every day. But modern cruisers are shit quality compared to it.

I have a lot of money, but I'm not making any money right now, I also am away from my tools and I don't have a shed to store the bike in, however I'm in a small town with a very low crime rate.

So to/dr i have two choices either buy a high quality hybrid/touring bike or a cheap cruiser.

The town also has several hills, though I am used to using a single speed in hilly terrain.

No you do not need anything that accurate. After warming up just do a 20 minute all-out effort and subtract 5% from your average heart rate of that 20 minute interval. That is your FTHR. Testing FTHR is easier than FTP, pacing is still important but not quite as important and you will still get usable HR results even if you go out a little too hard and your power starts dropping.

Debating about replacing my Element Bolt with the 830. I can get the bundle 10% off at the local LBS or I can get it online for 20% off but have to wait a few days to get it.

Nothing is wrong with my bolt but quite a few features of the 830 really appeal to me such as the route creation on device, the eating reminders, the heat acclimation and the actual navigation.

nvm bought it anyway. First ride with it will be Saturday. Brought it home with the intention of taking it out straight away but the battery was 6% out of the box.

Initial impressions from updating it is that the screen is nice, the device looks much better on my bike than the element and that's about it.

You can download different apps which is cool, I primarily use RwGPS for my routing and you have to go in a select and download your routes which is nice as opposed to it auto syncing.

Will report more after I ride with it.

Test report of the gray Pug

- Survived a trip to the beach
- Left it outside while I get a coffe and nobody stole it
- Changes the gear when it feels like it
- incomprehensible clicking
- Bent rear axle giving it a "heartbeat"
- It moves when I pedal
- I don't even know or want to know the absolute state of the BB

It's perfect, just what I wanted for short trips to have a coffee with my friends.

Went for a 4 hour meander on the rigid mtb early this morning. Lots of sticky spots under trees from aphid pee. Weather is going to be around 30C all week, so it will be early rides or late rides. Early is better, less traffic and less insects.

I wanted to take a dump before heading out since it had been a few days, but no go. Last few km on the way back I definitely felt the need to go. Since its blueberry season and I ate a 2 lb clamshell of them since Friday my shit was nice and green. I should go buy some more today.

Fuck bros. This has made me realize how much work I still have to do. My rides have just been plodding along at 20mph happy and content. Slowing down when my heart beats a little fast or my legs hurt a bit but no fucking more (maybe). I really need to start pushing myself and quit worrying about "saving energy for my ride and not burning out" when I'm only doing 20-40 fucking miles.

I need to go faster, I need to do better and quit being afraid of pushing through a little bit of fucking pain.

It doesn’t even have to be that complicated. If all you’re doing is 4x8 threshold intervals with 3 minutes rest just set up your lap screen to show power, HR, cadence, and lap time and average power on the laps. Simple dimple. I honestly don’t like the exported workouts from TP when I’m doing intervals outdoors.

And since you seem like you’re just starting out you’ll benefit a lot from longer lower intensity intervals. I am a very big fan of sweet spot but that’s such a narrow power window that I just do those on the trainer in the winter.

Found the problem. Really just a bunch of control freaks. Caffeine isn't even close to the effects of what PEDs feel like. I don't race or get tested for work so I've played with PEDs and caffeine doesn't even come close. I do see the point of banned substances, as in sportsmanship it's the struggle that matters but banning caffeine is a little too far.

I just want to ride man, I'm gonna have to significantly cut my riding due to being out to sea near constantly come September and we got told today there's a good chance we need to be "deployment ready" by Feb as opposed to being ready late 20 early 21 which means we'll be lucky to even get Christmas off much less an entire weekend.

RIP, glad I got out years ago. How do you like to kill time while on duty? My shifts were 48h so that meant a weekend of shoving myself into the lives of junior enlisted and playing fuck fuck games with boots.

Also, rain riding is fun

Since our ship is in the yards I just take my laptop and chill in our space once everyone is gone. it's pretty nice, once we move back aboard though our space we work out of is a class space so no electronics.

Then it's just youtube or training.

Did an early 90 km this morning before it got stupid hot. A cemetery on the other side of the city has a pond and some geese that aren't Canada geese (they had those too).

Cooler tomorrow but a 50 gusting to 70 km/h wind starting at 9 am. So another early ride.

Are some people just not made for fasted cardio ? Every time I do it my performance seems cut in half and I am suffering even 10min into doing it, and I mean actual suffering here that I would usually only have after riding hard for 45-60min or going on longer rides where I push it. I did drink quite a bit of water before starting the ride so dehydration shouldnt be the problem but going for a ride an hour or so after waking up on an empty stomach is fucking torture for me.

just eat a little bit
have like 1 slice of bread and a piece of fruit
you'll feel a lot better

If you do a lot of endurance riding your body will eventually be able to work hard for shorter distances off just glycogen and fat stores, but it's likely not capable of doing that now, so starving yourself will just mean that you don't have any energy to get the exercise in.

just don't come home and hulk smash a giant fucking pizza, despite what your brain is telling you. Eat about 25% of the calories you are going to burn during a ride before the ride.

2 slices of bread no butter and an apple is 295 calories and about 25% of what you will burn in a 90 minute ride.

If my time in the military taught me anything, it's that VA will do anything and everything to avoid paying out whenever they can. Maybe it's because the Marine Corps is broke as fuck compared to the Navy and other branches but don't think it'll be ez pz life insurance payout for your family. They'll probably find out you're putting unnecessary stress on your heart by taking all those supplements after doing a post mortem blood test and then ruling your death as something you caused to yourself and non work related. The government is fucked up and you of all people should know how fucked up it is since you're still in. At least, that's my beef regarding my experience during the days of military cut backs as an Obama era Marine.

I rode 5 km of easements behind houses yesterday as part of a larger ride. They are difficult to spot on satellite imagery due to trees at the back of every lot so I kept missing some while trying to ride everything rideable in the city. The city posted some aerial imagery online taken in the spring before the leaves opened which made it much easier to find the paths.

About 1 more month to go before I reach 100,000 km of logged rides. Coming up on 80,000 km of Strava rides, another year and a half before I have 100,000 km of those. I was thinking how long it would take to get to 1 million km, but I don't think I'm still going to be riding 15k a year when I'm over 100.

I was out for a ride today. When I got to 2 hours in it was time for the snack I brought. But I figured I was heading back home so I didn't bother eating it. I ended up riding for another 2 hours. I wasn't pushing too hard but I definitely felt my legs starting to fade near the end and my HR had shifted up.

I've had flats more than once where I didn't know the cause, that's been fine after I've patched it.

I once had a puncture on the inside circumference of the tube, while the bike was parked. Yes, I did check the rim and rim tape thouroughly, without finding anything.
I patched it and it's been fine ever since.
It was a new tube so I can only assume it was a production fault.

I live in a house in a city far away from NYC. I put my time in there. You either live in a small, cute apartment and spend your spare time in bars and cafes or you live in a large loft and never go out in the street (Splendid Isolation).

Look, I appreciate you trying to shit up the thread, I really do. But this is /n/, not /b/ or /pol/ the most we do is tease Zishan a bit for 'polishing his bike'.

If you put the thumbscrews on /n/'s bikebois you'd find many of us spend 40 bucks a week on shit for our bikes we don't need. I don't drink at bars anymore, 40 bucks a week for my favorite hobby is literally nothing. And like I said, I'm relatively broke.

It's just stupid. For the price of a few ripoff coffees and cabinet food you could buy a sack of rice and some beans and eat like a king for a week. You can take them with you in ziplock bags and eat them in the park if you want a nice place to stop. That doesn't cost anything.

Someone else here. The riding thing and runners high happens to me too. And this week has been especially bad.
A good doctor will try different meds until you click with the one that makes you feel safe/relaxed.
First weeks may be hard, but once you find the correct shit it's great.
As for therapy, depends on the doc again, and I was a total asshole to the doc at first, but then it clicked too and it's more like a coach that asks helps you guide yourself without telling you dumb things like non-professionals do.

I hardly see any sort of Strava achievement anymore unless I'm going down a road I don't normal ride. Any segment I regularly pass, I've run numerous times with 50 km/h tailwinds. The most times I've run a segment is 328.

I created a new segment the other day since I was curious if anyone else had been over an under construction flyover that will be the biggest climb in the city. So far I'm the only one. Wednesday was the first time I was able ride it without interruption. Twice during the winter one of the 3 bridges was tented for concrete work so I had to circumvent the bridge by going down and up and embankment. Then in the spring I took another go at it but one of the bridges was 3 feet higher than the road leading up to it which required stopping to hoist the bike.

Same here, sometimes a group ride will get one when most of the strong guys are riding like they hate their bikes, but that's been happening a lot more frequently in recent years. I think indoor trainers have been helping keep everyone in pretty good shape over the winter after everyone does their holiday break so everyone is just stronger now in general.

Flat tire while I was out today. At home while I was patching that tube I decided to pull the tube from my front tire which had a super slow leak. Would take 2 days to go from 30 to 10 psi so I had been ignoring it. Was a very small hole that I needed to use water in the sink to find.

Yesterday I finally got around to installing the proper width 73mm bottom bracket on the mountain bike. Having a 68 in there didn't cause any problems until I switched cranksets during the winter.

Also discovered why I couldn't shift to my smallest cog. B tension screw needed adjustment to keep derailleur wheel from hitting the 11t on the cassette.

I'm the same way. I love being out on the bike but actually getting out is the hard part. All I think about is how much I don't want to go and I just want it all to be over. Soon as I push off though and start peddling it all melts away.

When I'm at home I just have a constant feeling of despair and don't want to do anything. The thing with cycling has plagued me for years and has caused me many months off the bike. It's the same with all my hobbies, even a video game I enjoy playing I can't be fucked to start it up.

The despair thing is new though, I guess it's the next step in the chain of whatever.

Wrong on so many levels, the cost of living may be higher in some parts but, the salaries compensate (assuming you have a half decent job). Also, anyone with half a brain who makes below $75K lives outside of Manhattan where the cost of living is way cheaper. Just my two cents

steal some salt packets
pulses like lentils or beans
flour

mix oil + oats + sugar and bake on a tray until golden
scrape em up
oat clusters
very calorie dense
there's your snack and breakfast

mix carrots with oil and salt and roast until golden
saute onions and cook with pulses, add tin tomato and garlic/ginger if you're rich
saute fine cabbage with onions
cut wedges of cabbage and roast with oil until nutty and brown
those are your dinners with rice

you can make unleavened flatbreads with just water + flour, look up spring onion pancake technique for how to roll and fold layers into them with brushed oil for something delicious. If it's flatbread, fill them with fine carrots and cabbage and any cooked pulses you have.

add fried eggs on rice into your diet, and you can fry leftover rice with eggs too, if you're rich.

76 miles today. I got a new jersey and new bibs. The jersey is pink. I took an alternate route through a rather rough part of town and cars kept pulling up alongside, stopping for a minute, realizing I'm a dude, and then zooming off, no doubt in a state of homophobic panic.

Spending $150 on bibs was a good decision. This never happened with my grody nashbar stuff where I looked like I was wearing a diaper.

whole milk is the cheapest calorie per $ food item. So you're looking at two gallons of milk if you can find them on sale. Then you just have to ration it out and you're set. I usually fill my water bottles with milk and I'm pretty much Cat 3 tier at this point if I felt like competing

I had a peugeot in a fair bit worse condition than yours that also had a wierd clicking noise, mine changed based on bike speed so probably something with axle or spokes. That was the bike I first completely took apart, BB and bearings and all. It was a lot of fun but the frame was too big for me so I sold it. :'( Still on the lookout for something similar in my size to replace it.

Getting ready for a night ride down the unopened motorway. Understandable they've been booting people off it whenever they see them, since various sub-contractors are out there 7 days a week all day long. Lately there have been a lot of top soil side dump trailers to back fill the shoulders as the project nears completion. But after dark the security people aren't around.

Supposedly some good aurora that I missed last night. So maybe I'll catch some while I'm out.

That's probably because you went through a period of drinking none, and you now get mild IBS when you drink it.

Eat one pro-biotic yogurt each day for a couple of weeks, or mix it in to any dairy you consume.

No northern lights while I was out, but a low setting crescent moon was present. Some heat miraging out on the dark highway made some industrial lights in the distance very bright to the point I thought there were multiple vehicles coming my way.

I noticed on Dinotte's website that they just released a new version of the XML-3 headlight. The one I bought in 2012 was a 1000 lumen, last year I got the 2018 version which jumped to 2100 lumen, and the new one is 2500 lumen. I'm hoping that huge increase in LED efficiency translates into Schmidt releasing a new version of the edelux twice as bright as the current one. The edelux ii is a bit under powered, but when riding beside another person who has one the light is quite good. I suspect what they might do it add a second LED that is aimed higher that can be turned on/off separately. German regulations were modified recently to permit high beams on bicycle lights.

Anyway, the bike is really nice. Desperately needs an upgrade in the brakes department though. Fuck single lever arm mechanical disc brakes

August is a great time to do night rides. Still pretty warm and the sun is setting earlier. Night highway riding can be a bit boring though, long straight with little visual reference. A lot of heat mirage just after dark last night too. In the distance the faint post sun set red sky was reflecting off the road.

He had an OTS with canties, but both literally did not have any pads or cables installed. Neither did either of the derailleurs. Cables: who needs 'em anyways? Now to be fair: this was a cracked-out homeless person we're talking about, but the last I saw of him he was booking it across a downtown avenue in heavy traffic in a somewhat hilly area. Do you think he will die in a c/o/llision, or will he OD first?

Smashed into the curb, went over handlebars and my Oakley Sutros smushed into my face.

So I had a Sutro shaped red mark all across my forehead and cheeks. Had to put on makeup for the last three days to get rid of the giant fucking glasses strawberry.

I am stupid.
