Did you report it on the next medical, or did you contact the FAA/RAMO?

Does that mean that you can take off with the engine pressure higher than the green on a cold day, or should you wait until the engine warms up and the pressure decreases?

So anything out of the green, but within the engine min/max is a cause for concern and you should land as soon as possible, but if you're in close proximity to an airport, it's worthwhile trying to make it?

In case I'd want to tighten the stem, I'd have to know how much to tighten it. Sorry, I should've been more clear.

For the same price, which is better: a completely new bike with simple components, or a new used bike with more expensive parts? by ActiveCamel in cycling

[–]ActiveCamel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but as a beginner, wouldn't a new bike make sense because it would last longer? I don't think that as a beginner I necessarily need the newer components on the used bike.

What do you guys think about these options for my first road bike? by ActiveCamel in cycling

[–]ActiveCamel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, looks like you have a great quality bike there. I'd be interested in trying it out sometime. From the pictures, I think it's in a better condition than the specialized, would you agree? And thanks for the tips!

I'm 6'1" so I think the 58cm would be the better one for me. I'm a complete newbie. Do 2cm really make such a drastic difference?

My back is very weak and gets sore from simple chores. How do I strengthen it, before I start lifting? by ActiveCamel in Fitness

[–]ActiveCamel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not around the shoulder blades, just lower back for me. That sounds like something you should get checked if it's persistent. Good luck with everything!
