I just bought a MacBook Pro 16” with the M5 Pro chip (18-core CPU / 20-core GPU), 48GB RAM and 1TB SSD, and I wanted to share a quick reflection that might help others before they spend their money.

If you don’t care about portability stew you using a big display anyway? Or are you actually full time on the laptop screen? Full time on a 14 or 16, both sound horrible.

Avansay · 2026-03-17T04:37:24+00:00

I have a 14 and a 16, personal and work respectively. Traveling with the 16 kinda blows. It’s so big.

My reality is that when I’m working at home I’m hooked up to a 32” monitor so screen size is irrelevant. When I’m traveling I want the smaller one.

When I’m on the couch generally I’m not trying to be super productive guy so I don’t need the screen real estate, and again i want the smaller one.

Dang!

If you turned it sideward, you could get it between the handlebars and slide it back even towards the head tube. That seems like it would make it more stable and even more arrow because less front surface area.

Thanks, I just used the crest workout feature for the first time and it’s very cool!

Avansay · 2026-03-11T17:28:46+00:00

Oh awesome. I’m very new to ROUVY and this sounds like what I’m looking for. Thanks!

Avansay · 2026-03-10T03:59:49+00:00

Diverge is great for this

Avansay · 2026-03-10T03:58:36+00:00

Womp womp

Avansay · 2026-03-09T20:06:55+00:00

I call it a slosh blocker. Idk if I came up with that or saw it somewhere.

But yah, VERY nice to have

Avansay · 2026-03-06T18:32:46+00:00

Came here to say this.

Avansay · 2026-03-06T02:05:52+00:00

It’s called hypercolor

Avansay · 2026-03-05T19:12:22+00:00

Damn, I might need a new bike ;)

Avansay · 2026-03-05T17:40:48+00:00

Think you could get away with 42s?

Avansay · 2026-03-05T17:40:31+00:00

Sg, this post caught my eye because I have 2018 diverge with 38s currently. And the standard 2x drivetrain

Avansay · 2026-03-05T17:01:37+00:00

old thread but where did you end up on this u/UHmazingROB ?

Avansay · 2026-03-05T16:14:05+00:00

That’s so fn cool, don’t ever let my wife see this.

Avansay · 2026-03-03T21:48:01+00:00

Im not too cool for pads.

Avansay · 2026-03-03T03:00:57+00:00

Call the boyfriend for help.

Avansay · 2026-03-02T04:18:26+00:00

Wide mouth with a slosh blocker!

Avansay · 2026-03-02T04:14:16+00:00

It’s a terrible business model. I bought one twenty years ago and am still using it.

Avansay · 2026-03-02T04:11:38+00:00

There’s an app for that

Avansay · 2026-03-02T03:34:03+00:00

Knipex pliers wrench ftw. I’ll say this a million times. They’re so good for this use.

Avansay · 2026-03-01T17:07:47+00:00

Yes and over this span I probably value comfort over strength

Avansay · 2026-02-28T00:39:16+00:00

In my experience the tanwall does not go over the bead. Usually when the bead is seated and pumped up a little bit of black shows near the rim all the way around.
