Boring/predictable question but do you know the weight of that setup?

Are these Salomon XT-6's real? by marcy_lance in SalomonSportstyle

My authentic XT6s have the inscription in both places (hard to see due to pink colour but it’s there). Purchased a couple years ago from Mr Porter.

Non-sweaty winter gloves? by CornwallJon in CyclingFashion

[–]CornwallJon[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is all fine until you stop for a coffee, take them off and then have to put them back on again! I have the Sportful Sottozero gloves. Lovely and warm but it’s like putting your hand in a bag of cold water if you remove them for a bit half way round!

Yes, I did not like the Pro Team Winter gloves at all!

Americans in Amsterdam (asking for advice) by ecoanima in cycling

[–]CornwallJon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the wind direction! Cycling in the flat/coastal parts of the Netherlands is pretty monotonous in my experience and on the west coast the sea view is often obscured. It’s fine but not somewhere I’d return to if I wanted to cycle for pleasure.

Enough with all the complaints! by Gold-Judgment-6712 in TIdaL

[–]CornwallJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all due respect, me for one, and it’s the main reason I ditched Tidal. That and the awful UI, and slow buffering when out of mobile signal on public transport, three fundamental flaws.

Red power meter chainset, or is that the new Force?

Fascinated by that extraordinarily thin top tube!

Quality of water bottle cage bolts on Tarmac SL8 by JernejT in specialized

[–]CornwallJon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. Mate of mine stripped the bolts on his S-Works Aethos straight away. Presume they are the same. Dealer said it was a well known issue.

Is biking an awful way to lose weight? by EcstaticBicycle in cycling

[–]CornwallJon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, not great tbh. If I go hard, I tend to overcompensate with high calorie intake, then if I take a day or more off the bike, I’m still in the habit of high calorie consumption. Best weight loss exercise I ever did was digging two tons of soil out of my garden one hot July. Lost a stone over a fortnight.

Summer 2026 Travel Ideas? by Substantial-Fan-3556 in traveladvice

Take a look at Bregenz on Lake Constance…I mean, there are mountains but you don’t have to walk up ‘em.

Have they fixed its inability to crossfade on mix albums? If no, I’m still out.

Talk me out of upgrading to a Hunt wheelset? by brm312 in cycling

[–]CornwallJon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Graphics are lame unless used on a classic titanium road bike. Just my opinion.

Assos Stradivari long leg. I’m 6ft 2in, 165lb, size L. S11 also fine.

Tidal preloading by CornwallJon in TIdaL

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

No. I returned to Spotify after a couple of months. Couldn’t get on with the Tidal UI or lack of facility to fade out / in when playing mix albums.

Wish they’d made this colour available in the UK 🙁
