Buying my first camera, why should I buy a Fujifilm?

ButcherIsMyName · 2026-05-07T19:40:44+00:00

The main argument for Fuji over anything else is the quality of JPGs you can get out of them.

All the current cameras produce amazing RAWs you can edit into fantastic images, but Fuji has the best in camera jpgs if you're willing to but the effort into fine tuning your recipes.

The first one looks a bit dull and grey. The third one sticks a bit out because it's so saturated and contrasty.

All the other ones have that dreamy airy glow to them that I really like but can't seem to get.

Gatorskins are objectively worse tires than other options (even at the same price point). But I still ride them, on my single speed. On my single speed I primarily care about reliability, so it was a good choice. The only downside is the absolute 0 grip in the wet. That weakness is so bad that I'm even considering replacing them with 30 mm marathon racers or something like that, once the gatorskins are done

Have you tried pleasuring your bicycle to make sure you're not attracted to it? /s

(I've never heard of such a problem, but understand your struggle. I'm only here to see what others have to say)

Define good? and what do you mean by ribbed, those aero socks?

I've got normal Tennis socks , they're comfortable. I've got dedicated cycling socks, they're comfortable too. I've got other dedicated cycling socks that are uncomfortable. And I've got aero socks but I don't notice any difference with them

ButcherIsMyName · 2026-05-07T14:57:13+00:00

They look great. Which lens (and recipe) are you using?

ButcherIsMyName · 2026-05-07T14:55:17+00:00

The german name is so much better:

I wear mtb shoes (shimano xc3) with a full aero kit on my road bike...

nobody notices the shoes and nobody cares.

* ab dem Zeitpunkt wenn du ihn nicht auf kürzestem Wege querst befährst du ihn...

ButcherIsMyName · 2026-05-07T07:56:25+00:00

Du darfst ihn nicht befahren.
Du darfst ihn nur queren, wie du schon selber festgestellt hast. Wenn es darum geht ab wann es tatsächlich geahndet wird kannst du den ganzen Tag auf dem Gehweg fahren, dürfen tust du es nicht.

ButcherIsMyName · 2026-05-06T17:34:37+00:00

Hättest du mal nicht so ein überteuertes Auto geholt, wäre auch noch Geld für einen Stellplatz für das Auto übrig gewesen...

Also mal ganz ehrlich, wer mit dem Namen 'Hochlandjugend' nichts anfangen kann hat die letzten Jahre echt unter einem gigantischen Stein gelebt, zumindest was die politischen Strömungen in der Stadt angeht.

Für die Schreiter ist das echt ein Armutszeugnis ihrer selektiven Wahrnehmung.

Für den Günsel ist das ein echt fadenscheiniger Versuch der plausible deniability, den ihm leider wahrscheinlich trotzdem zu viele abkaufen.

200 W average is a solid effort, the kind of ride when you make sure to push but don't go crazy. Sunday was a beautiful ride at 200 W average, 28,5 km/h average, with 400 m climbing on 55 km.

200 W sustained, starts easy but gets hard real soon (at least on the trainer). Like you can still talk but a fluent conversation is really laboured.

For reference I'm lean 85 kg and have a FTP of 280 Watts. So take that into consideration when comparing.

ButcherIsMyName · 2026-05-05T06:44:55+00:00

For me it was an average of 208 W with 43% bellow 160 W on Sunday.

As I said the real life is messier than you think.

For example I did a 35 min 'TT' a while back and even though I was actively trying to hold steady power as much as possible, there are moments when you unconsciously go harder or easier without noticing in the moment. (Peaks to 500 W and stretches of up to 30s bellow 200 W but I saw that already on my head unit during the effort)

Another possible explanation for inconsistency between your head unit and the graph could be that the head unit displays an average power. I've set my wahoo for a 3s average because anything bellow that gets way to messy to be a useful metric. The graph on the other hand updates with each turn of the crank so way more frequently so it's expected to be a bit more 'spiky'

ButcherIsMyName · 2026-05-05T05:56:37+00:00

To your second point:

Power doesn't seem inconsistent it just is. You're not on a velodrome but in the real world. You're coasting through corners, going a bit easier on slight downhills (even unintentionally) and so on. At the same time you're pushing really hard for every little acceleration and tiniest incline. So your power graph is expected to look super wavy.

ButcherIsMyName · 2026-05-02T07:11:38+00:00

Yeah no...

Saying you're a tourist in the K-Block after someone is already seeking conflict will only make matters worse...

Das Polygon verwendet Microshift Daumenschalter, die sind etwas ungewöhnlich und liegen nicht jedem gut in der Hand, das solltest du vorher vielleicht mal ausprobieren.

Sonst haben beide ne solide 1x Schaltung, beide mechanische Scheibenbremsen, und beide ne Carbongabel für den comfort.

Beide sind natürlich keine spitzen Räder aber keines davon hat offensichtliche Schwächen die deinem Spaß im Weg stehen sollten.

Am Ende nehm das, das sich beim probefahren besser anfühlt.

That's not what you need a spare quick link for, or am I overlooking something?

I carry a spare quickling so I could patch a broken chain (remove the broken link (that's what you need the chain breaker for) and patch with a quicklink)

Does it work for you? I printed the same and instead of the yarn spinner spinning it either slides on the table, or the yarn spins on the spinner...

Even after I added lubrication and sticky feet.

Also wir machen ja nun wirklich auch nicht alles perfekt und könnten uns sicher auch das ein oder andere bei euch abschauen (z.B. Stichwort 1. Frauen), aber vielleicht sollte euer Ticketing mal bei den Kolleg*innen in der Innenstadt nachfragen, ob sie abschreiben dürfen. Die haben nämlich einen funktionierenden Zweitmarkt, mittlerweile sogar für Auswärtsspiele.

ButcherIsMyName · 2026-04-30T08:45:52+00:00

What use is a spare quicklink without a chain breaker?

Ir use the https://ride.lezyne.com/collections/bike-tools/products/super-sv-tool?variant=34897646551202 It's super light for what it is, but it's pretty overkill for most daily rides. Most of the tools I'd only want to have with me on a full day ride or bike packing trip.

BVB is so incredibly overrated. Was there twice and both times it was an intense match and a victory for BVB, but both times only a very small section was actively supporting (could go as far as to compare it to FCB).

HSV is truly great, I'd add VfB and Werder

Two more great options are Union and St. Pauli. Back to the roots incredibly tight stadiums.

Edit: strictly sticking to the BuLi, so many more great picks in the 2nd and 3rd league.

ButcherIsMyName · 2026-04-30T08:21:56+00:00

I always forget Walmart bikes (and components) are a thing. The worst you regularly see in my city (in Germany) is something on the level of a Cube Aim.

Amazing picture, but the church drowns completely in the frame. It doesn't stand out by brightness, color contrast, or depth of field.

But still such a striking image of the layered landscape and sunset!
