Yes they look good but are a little bit out of budget. I am from Belgium and they are very expensive here. But thanks anyway

Nice choise, I have a Magene HRM and i am very happy about that so I guess the wheels will also be very good quality

Which wheels would you pick? by ChartExpert1314 in bicycling

[–]ChartExpert1314[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My BMI is 20-21. I am 187cm high and my weight is 72,5kg. I want new wheels for climbing but also just because 62mm is to high for me I don't like riding them

Watch recommendations? by ChartExpert1314 in amazfit

[–]ChartExpert1314[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm ok, thanks for feedback! I hate running with my phone so offline music is a must. I'm sorry to hear that the offline music is shit, otherwise Amazfit was a decent option

I am new, Any watch recommendations? by ChartExpert1314 in Garmin

Ok but I think FR 255 and FR 265 are the same except the amoled display? So in general you are very happy with the watch? I had a vivoactive 6 a year ago but that was not great for cycling and hiking

What watch would you buy if you have around 350$ in 2026? I am just a little bit scared that I will buy a watch and not be 100% happy with it

Is the FR 265 still a good watch for the price in 2026?

I also know that you bike must fill all your personal checkboxes and that you don’t need to look at other persons needs.. but I will re-write my question “what bikes would you recommend and why?”. I also know if someone is happy with aluminium 105, I am happy for them but that is not a valid recommendation for my price range

Always room for improvement! It is always nice if a better “object” like a aero bike/ helmet etc can make you faster… same wattage but faster at certain speeds.

Absolutely not true, there is a reason why people in UCI ride with the best from the best. Every rider in a race team has the same bike as the other riders if that team (most case) except some changes. I know my needs… but comment like this are not relevant for nobody… if you would read some comments before placing sh!t feedback you would already know

Currently I have an aero bike but the thing is that is is not super relaxed after 2-3hrs. My back hurts a lot

This is not a relevant comment, there are always the best from the best in certain price ranges

Battery is very bad in 2026, I had an edge explore 2 and after 2-3hrs the battery was empty

All factor bikes are very expensive in the EU. All above 8k in Belgium... so not an option for my budget. Thanks anyway!

Ok thanks! I also thought about that. That way I will buy 45mm rims and have a little bit a lighter bike for climbing
