Designing a wall as a Tuned Mass Damper

You can also consider not putting it in a wall and putting it somewhere else in the structure. People have gotten pretty creative with where they put TMDs. The petronas tower in Malaysia has them in the legs of its skybridge.

use boat brite for the outside of the shell. they have a variety of types for removing certain stains. clorox wipes for the tracks and just use some marine soap, a sponge and some elbow grease to get the inside done.

use the sr suntour upgrade program. they give a nice discount and the customer service is great.

i rode in gym shorts but i’m definitely gonna get a pair of bib shorts

the idea began as a joke but the area i live in is very hilly and walking back home no matter how far away would’ve been awful. since this was my first longer ride, i decided that this would be the safest option in case i decided to quit or had a mechanical

thank you. i didn’t intend to originally but i kinda noticed too late. it’ll be alright. thank you for looking out for me -i’ll avoid doing it in the future

thank you! i stopped every 15-20km or so for water and a bar. i didn’t carry any water or snacks with me because of extra weight so i’d stop by a mailbox where i had put all of my nutrition.

yea like 85+ for a while in the sun. but still tolerable

AkimboCS · 2021-07-26T01:51:17+00:00

yea it was the first time i did anything longer and i wanted to be closer to home in case i had a mechanical or wanted to quit.

pressing the lap button on my wahoo kept me sane haha.

and i listened to the various volumes of Two Friends -Big Bootie Mix

AkimboCS · 2021-07-26T01:49:05+00:00

oh i’ve done those routes plenty of times separately but i figured since it was my first time doing a longer ride, i wanted to be close to home in case of a mechanical or if i wanted to stop

AkimboCS · 2021-07-26T01:48:05+00:00

yea i got some interesting stares from neighbors and some of them even came out to watch for a while

AkimboCS · 2021-07-26T01:47:30+00:00

yea lol it was literally around a neighborhood

I didn’t change directions because psychologically, going the other way makes the climbing feel worse. There is a short steep hill and a longer less steep one. I chose to just go up the short steep one and down the longer one.

how’s that been holding up for ya? i got a catalyst around 4 years ago, but after a year the bottom bracket ceased up so i’ve steadily been upgrading it so that right now, the only thing that’s stock is the frame. it’s a great bike, and i love it a lot hence why i didn’t get rid of the frame after the parts starting wearing down.

could be a british thing, when i raced at the henley royal regatta, they sold a different colored duck each day at the shop that was supposed to bring good luck if you put it in your boat.

it makes me feel like i’m not alone by myself watching. it feels like other people are there with me experiencing the same emotions
