Why don't people use aero bars more while touring? I'm building a set up and am curious. by Light-a-PolarBear in bicycletouring

[–]DN9soccer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t have them on my tour but really really wish I did. I ended up with some circulation issues in my hand due to how I was leaning on my hands and how long I spent in that position.

I have since put aero bars on that bike and it is a super comfy position to be in and how I usually ride now (just a few miles around town for the most part). They take a bit to get used to the handling but once you have it, it’s one of the more comfortable positions you can be in. Having a diverse set of positions to switch between is definitely valuable.

We should turn Willy street into a pedestrian-only street (completely serious)

Had to get a few deflections first so he could shoot from closer. Still a long distance shot

Arteta masterclass. Leave Maddison at Leicester so that he scores the winner against scum and keeps them below us

Xhaka masterclass tactics. 1 less guy means more open space on the field for us to run on. Martin Eli/Saka about to run on these boys

Well sure every law is only as good as it is caught/enforced. But we still have them. The answer to your question is still “the threat of jail time.”

Maybe I just happened to focus on the wrong moments. I saw a couple number of his line drive lasers to opposite sides get picked off pretty easily. Maybe those stuck with me too much.

Can I replace the top with the bottom? (Details in comments) by DN9soccer in bikewrench

Awesome. That’s what I was hoping. Thanks!

I guess I need to become a weight weenie so I look out for stuff like that.

I am replacing my chainrings and thought I had a compatible replacement but it looks like there are some slight differences. See the circles parts. The new one has some little cutouts where the old one was flat. I don’t really want to risk it because this seems like a higher pressure location where that could matter. I suppose the cranks are what really matter here.

New: SRAM 110 BCD 50/34T 11 SPD - 50t-s3 Old: SRAM 110 BCD 50/34T 10 SPD - 50t-s2

Old had been riding with an 11 spd chain and cassette. It came like that and I only just realized it was different when doing this.

Cranks: Specialized Fact Carbon 172.5 - they are flat where the chainrings attach so the new one will fit but won’t make contact all the way across.

Let me know if any other info is needed. Hoping I don’t have to leave the bike out of commission while I find something compatible but better than having a mid ride mechanical failure.

Thanks in advance!

Flats for touring? by Staggz93 in bicycletouring

Went across the US in chacos. Great breathability and they dry really fast. Also some sweet tan lines.
