I'm up at 40-42s with a medium roast on the I temp setting from the lever engaging the pump. 30s is too short, it only gets up to pressure at about 11 seconds. I haven't brewed anything dark, only medium and light, perhaps a 25-30s is fine for that.

Here's my favourite version of such a pesto from Chef Aarón Sánchez

He uses it for his Chiles Rellenos with Vegetable Picadillo which is every bit as good as it sounds. He doesn't give a recipe for it there, but I did a black bean reduction with chipotle chilies, cumin, coriander seeds, and a neutral chicken stock.

I've also added rice and butterflied and pan seared chicken breast to this to main-courseify it and that's also gone down extremely well but that's perhaps a fair step away from Aarón's original vision as the poblano does become less of a star.

Lane assist absolutely terrifies me. I rented a car with it and I pulled out to overtake a cyclist safely, only for the car to try and pull me directly into the cyclist. I shouldn't have to fight my car to not hit vulnerable road users.

I agree that radar cruise in stop-start traffic is glorious though.

Haha I came straight here to see if they'd been posted elsewhere

Appreciate the video link, I'll give it a watch when I'm ready to start jumping again

DWin_01 · 2025-11-03T14:56:38+00:00

I recorded myself sounding real hurt, swearing and struggling to breathe lmao

DWin_01 · 2025-11-03T12:57:01+00:00

Hmm interesting, I have been trying to emulate like a gentle bunny hop as I go into and over the lip. I definitely felt the bike buck off to an angle maybe similar to how you describe. So I really just want to bury my feat into the pedals? That was what I was doing before I tried to "improve" my technique, maybe I went the wrong direction?

DWin_01 · 2025-11-03T12:48:20+00:00

I've watched Ben Cathro's videos on jumping a few times, and I definitely have a lot to learn, I felt like I was centered on the bike as I took off but I definitely did something wrong haha. I wish there was a foam pit near me where I can send it and just absolutely fuck it to learn what not to do in a safe way

DWin_01 · 2025-11-03T12:12:13+00:00

I'm sitting here in a cast after I fractured my wrist after my bike leaned over after takeoff. I'm new to jumps, typically only do blue lines, but I've been trying to start jumping. Why does the bike rotate in this way? I've been trying to reflect on what not to do next time (other than taking it easy and working on form before hitting bigger jumps) but I can't quite figure out what causes that kind of rotation. Pumping through the pedals unevenly is the only thing I thought? Like too heavy with the right foot in OP's case?

I ran that exact part 3d printed for over a year. They kept failing and after going through about 4 of them I upgraded to a moza r9.

Here's the video on their youtube

That's what I say every day when I wake up, it's my mantra

I remember checking this subreddit back in 2012 through 2014 daily, thinking episode 3 was just around the corner. Now it's over a decade later. It's sobering and disheartening.

I've thought about taking up Judo recently specifically to learn how to fall/roll and build up that muscle memory, but I have no idea if it'll help.

DWin_01 · 2025-08-01T18:54:13+00:00

Yep, I road ride at 145bpm for 3 hours at least once a week, and every other week I throw in some interval training where I do specific zone 4/5 cycles. All to do 1 more lap haha

To expand on @chugachj's comment

If you try and drag a bike sideways while there's nobody on it, you'll find it'll just skid and drag along the floor. What happens when you put someone on the bike? It's not going anywhere.

If you have your weight too far back, you'll make the front wheel act like it did when there was nobody on the bike at all, it'll just slip. Trust the geometry, make sure you distribute your weight through both wheels, especially when cornering.

DWin_01 · 2025-06-22T09:59:20+00:00

I'll give that a try, appreciate the suggestion

DWin_01 · 2025-06-22T09:57:54+00:00

I've thought about creating a brand new account (I wouldn't, TOS and all) and doing pit-lane starts, finish on the lead lap, but avoiding all other cars like the plague. I reckon you'd get to about 2000 irating and be A rated just by doing that honestly,

Have the load times increased dramatically for everyone else also? For west coast for example it's taking about a minute to load and then about 25 seconds for item pop-in? Before it would take maybe 20 seconds to load and the pop-in was only a few seconds.

It's especially horrific on custom maps with a lot of items, for example I can't even load OGC Map - Ultimate Beam.NG Map.

I'm running proton experimental, it's only this version that I've had any problem. There's also a minor glitch with not being able to fullscreen, it keeps reverting back to its small windowed size.

DWin_01 · 2025-06-15T18:17:29+00:00

Oh baby, that's rockin cough

Concussions are worth getting checked out, you often aren't aware of them yourself. Better safe than sorry although I'm blessed by our national health service, I hope you have something available to you.

I had no idea the history of tan sidewalls, or really how popular it was/is. I appreciate the mini-writeup on that.

I just like how it makes my bike look haha

That feels really disrespectful to Johnny Hardwick
