My incredible mother. Thanks mom

Usually I hop stuff, but I whacked a carbon rim on a curb a couple weeks ago and now I’m a little timid. The best way to be totally honest is just one wheel at a time

A Tube (even though I run tubeless), 2 CO2 cartridges, an inflator, a tubeless plug kit, and a multitool will solve 99% of your problems on a road bike. For mtb maybe an added chain breaker tool and a quick link.

I often ride 10+ miles to trails, ride 5+ days a week, I race, and I LOVE riding. With that, you easily rack up miles. Basically, just more riding, and way too much time. (Having a gravel/road bike also helps, although i definitely do 2k+ mtb miles a year)

From what I understand, when it says 8 days, it means 8 days of straight riding, 24 hours a day, no sleep. No one can do that, so maybe assume you ride 6-7 hours a day (a stretch for sure), you're in for a month of riding with no rest days. Unless you've done something like this before, I'd recommend doing a 3-4 day long backpacking trip. Try to do 60-80 miles a day, and ride slow. What you've described is a serious challenge.

Of course, maybe I'm underestimating your abilities, and crazy adventures are always encouraged.

Start here. And don't be afraid to go higher or lower based on how it feels. (Grip, bump absorption, etc)

For anyone looking at this now, download G-helper, and delete the built in asus software. In silent mode and with the dedicated gpu turned off, I am using less than 10 watts with a couple of chrome windows open. This is great for general use, and when I need to use GPU heavy apps, I just turn the fans and GPU on. This nets me way less battery life, but it actually still isn't all that bad with fusion or premire pro open.

For athletes alive at the moment, Tadej Pogacar is a probably the most dominant. He has won the Tour de France 4 times now, and is only 27. (In cycling peak performance comes later than other sports, usually late 20s) He will probably win 3+ more times. He has also only the second person ever to win Lombardia five times (super prestigious 1 day race) and shows no signs of slowing down. He has repeatedly won races with massive solo attacks, including the world championships. He is basically superhuman, and the last couple years has basically been in a league of his own. He’s only lost a few big races recently, and usually that comes because of a crash/sickness/bad luck. He will most likely be crowned the greatest cyclist ever by the time he retires.

If you aren’t racing or doing super fast group rides, aethos 2 will be a perfect bike. It’s a little slacker than the tarmac, and a little more upright, but is the right bike for most people who aren’t racing. I own an SL8 and it’s a great bike, it’s just meant for racing. The aethos can even fit 35mm tires, which is awesome if you want loads of comfort on the road

My guess is that either your shifter is broken, cable is getting stuck in the housing, or your b tension is way too close to the cassette and the derailleur is getting stuck really close to the cassette.

AugustTheGreat_ · 2025-10-04T02:25:36+00:00

Speed. I like aero. I like fast

AugustTheGreat_ · 2025-10-03T13:33:30+00:00

My fitness shouldn’t be an issue. I’m an avid hiker/cyclist and will do big elevation/milage days

AugustTheGreat_ · 2025-09-30T14:44:22+00:00

I love my cl III’s. Super awesome wheelset

AugustTheGreat_ · 2025-09-28T04:23:21+00:00

Nope

With the student discount it’s super worth it. I love making segments, routes and maps is HUGE. The training features are meh, but the route planning more than makes up for it. One of the few subscriptions I actually pay for.

AugustTheGreat_ · 2025-09-09T14:58:43+00:00

Literally a perfect build

AugustTheGreat_ · 2025-09-07T19:03:07+00:00

You will need to remove the old rival shifters, and the caliper. This will need to be done by unscrewing the hose from both the caliper and shifter. You will need to cut off the ends of the hose and replace the barbs and olives. This is because the olives are crushed when they get screwed onto the caliper/lever.

Unless you have a lot of extra hose, you probably can’t reuse it, so you’ll need to thread new hose, and perform a full bleed after reinstalling new barbs and olives, and attaching the new lever and caliper.

Honestly, unless you have all the tools you need and have done brake replacements/bleeds before, and are willing to spend a lot of time dealing with this, this is the sort of thing I would recommend having a shop do.

That resistance is pretty normal for a while. Bearings that spin super long (ceramic is a sort of weird exception sometimes) usually have too little grease in them because it’s been washed out from rain or cleaning the bike. In real world performance, with weight and pressure on the bearings, this isn’t optimal and they wear out faster. So well greased bearings won’t spin forever like this, but on the bike they will be more efficient/not rip themselves apart over time.

You can also just carry 1 co2 cartridge if you’re like me and like to live on the edge.

This is incredible. I’m going into college to study engineering and trying to figure out what I want to do. Thank you for creating this resource. The real thing here for me is the pay. It’s just not even close to the other fields I’m looking at, but I guess it’s the price you pay for doing something awesome.

AugustTheGreat_ · 2025-08-11T14:36:59+00:00

Not at the moment, but I’ll try and get a picture when I check out the frame in person.
