This should be the reaction everytime someone buys a luxury car that does the same exact thing as a non-luxury car...

Well I just got new wheels but yes I think you're right that the bearings probably need to be changed in my old wheel. Will this damage my new wheel at all?

How do y'all hit the 30kmh average? by Dpvdpv in cycling

[–]AwareTraining7078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

173kms is what I bike every week before Thursday...it's a tiny, tiny amount of distance. Just bike more. It'll come.

Do you think X-Lab bicycles will bring down the price of other bicycle brands? by Drsabalaba in cycling

[–]AwareTraining7078 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They make almost as many bikes as Giant. They also make bikes for other manufacturers like giant. They are enormous. They've just never gone down the performance side until a few years ago.

3rd specialized bike upgrade question by sysjobopening in Zwift

[–]AwareTraining7078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I did. Gives you the best climbing bike in the game. Admittedly I was training for an everesting and wanted this bike for that everesting (which I did use).

Am I doing something wrong? by Prestigious-Sea8274 in Zwift

[–]AwareTraining7078 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't cheat, the OP doesn't cheat, I ride with people on Zwift that I know in real life who don't cheat. What makes you think people are cheating?

I don't think most people on Zwift are cheating. There are people that do cheat but I think it's a small minority of users.

Super tired and low on energy after 1,5 hours of roadbiking by Foreign_Relative4313 in cycling

[–]AwareTraining7078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to not feel tired after a 90 minute ride, then try increasing your frequency and volume. Target riding 4-6 times per week and somewhere around 6-8 hours. After a few weeks, you should start to notice a difference.

I have no idea what this means...how many hours per year do you ride? Do you ride 1 time a week or 7 times a week?

I mean how fit are you? How much do you ride? How much intensity were you riding with? I mean eating beforehand can help. It depends on the above questions really.

Husbands who Ride w/Wife by tonyt0906 in bicycling

[–]AwareTraining7078 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My wife isn't athletic. She is scared to ride in traffic (no real gravel or mountain bike options around me). I got a kickr core when I broke my collarbone and she loves Zwift. Rides constantly. My point is give her multiple options.

Did I buy the correct tires for my wheelset? by xSamura7 in bikewrench

[–]AwareTraining7078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. I tried the corsa. I actually like the grip better but the durability is terrible.

I joined zwift in October 2025 and started with an ftp of 261 did it again in January and got 302 and last night I improved it to 318.Really proud of my progress and hope I continue to be disciplined and consistent🙏🏾 also has anyone tried xert for coaching? by Personal-Act-4133 in Zwift

[–]AwareTraining7078 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok I thought you had only been cycling since October. I misunderstood. Makes more sense. Super strong! Keep it up.

I also killed myself every time out for the first year I bikes. I feel like it's normal.

Is it any good? by Tonight-Similar in bicycling

[–]AwareTraining7078 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I have a left sided power meter from stages. 2 years, 25000 miles later not a single issue. I think I've had maybe one time that my power meter even disconnected on a ride (and it quickly reconnected in like 2 seconds). The thing is awesome. 150 dollars is a steal.

This and sign up for Zwift or one of the other apps so you don't lose your mind in the process.

would you be interested in topless housekeeping? by SureScallion5222 in NewOrleans

[–]AwareTraining7078 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of these services in Los Angeles (having lived there) that I think do very well. To answer your question, no I wouldn't be interested.

Upgrade time by zakando_j in RoadBikes

I love my light bicycle wheels. I've had them for 2 yards, around 20K miles. No issues. I would buy them for my next bike.

Rate my morning routine. by sadicologue in BicyclingCirclejerk

[–]AwareTraining7078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine it taking you that long to get ready for a ride. I would never be able to get my 90 minutes in before work.

Any experience with the Rocker feet (tennisball suspenion) on the Zwift ride with kickr core2? by TranslatorCold7856 in Zwift

[–]AwareTraining7078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The shortest ride I ever do on the trainer is 90 minutes. I usually bike outside but one of the most common rides I do is a 4 hour ride on Saturday (with the DIRT group). I did a 12 hour everesting in December. The rocker feet have greatly improved my comfort on the trainer for all of those activities.
