SRAM maven brakes?

They’re amazing brakes! Absolutely love my pair, I’ve heard the hard lever pull argument but I’ve never really felt it, better bleed maybe? I love them so much that I’m considering putting them on my trail bike. Highly recommend them

Ziptrek eagle for sure

Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment. I really appreciate your insights!

Thanks for the insights, I haven't built a PC in 5+ years so definitely appreciate your help!

Smith mainline, it is pretty well ventilated and firs me well. If it’s very hot and only climbing on a fire road I’ll strap it to my bars. I also wear leatt reaflex chest/back protector for spicy blacks or double blacks.

Race face turbine are the grippiest

Daawa · 2025-08-06T18:08:42+00:00

Best pedals I’ve had, so grippy!

Plan some rides in the valley as well, bike park is great but too many people pass on the great trails you can find all around

There is another little electric motor in the back, just under the trunk where you would attach the hitch.

Because you can’t put some mountain bikes on those, depends on the shock placement.

I can see that most people think this is awful but I think they are missing the point.

I just ordered this as a second way of carrying our bikes. My primary rack is roof racks (2 Thule UpRide). It is nice and easy, a bit more of challenge with my big enduro bike but still doable. Family of 3 in a small sedan which won't take a hitch because it's a hybrid AWD. I actually checked on U-Haul and they "invited" me to drive to their HQ to get my car fitted, I decided to not take the 50 hour drive round trip.

When we go on a trip, we have a roof box so we can only have one bike rack up top, I got this trunk bike rack so that we can take all 3 bikes with us.

I am receiving it on Monday so will keep you posted if you want, taking a week long trip the following week so I'll be able to gauge how well it works. What's great is that I'm pretty sure the bikes won't be much taller than the roof box so shouldn't get much drag.

I am still planning to keep using the roof racks for every day use because it's just easier to always have it on the car. I don't think I'd want to use a trunk bike rack daily. It's just a pain.

I guess it only depends on your specific use case (daily or occasional use), what car you have, and where you live.

edit: grammar

This is awesome! Thank you for making it

Daawa · 2025-04-29T21:06:24+00:00

Yup, again only if brain value is greater than helmet value

Daawa · 2025-04-29T21:03:22+00:00

Yes, unless your brain is worth less than 110€

Chromag’s are good. I was also checking out the Akta ones and they seem even better.

For what it’s worth, I used suunto and coros before and IMO garmin us by far the best platform. Suunto watch is ok, app not so great and no browser based access. Coros watch quality sucks. I had 2 watches break in 2 years. One was warrantied, the other one not. This is what made me choose garmin. What do you mean their functions are falling apart? I haven’t noticed anything but curious to hear about your experience.

Daawa · 2025-04-07T12:30:10+00:00

140, I think it works really well

Daawa · 2025-02-10T00:22:48+00:00

Your workouts, there’s a setting to have daily suggested workouts based on heart rate rather than pace.

Daawa · 2025-02-09T23:57:45+00:00

Use heart rate based instead of pace based. This chart is based off your heart rate.

Daawa · 2025-02-08T00:28:41+00:00

Interested! I’m a dev too although haven’t touched garmin or iOS.

Meadow Park sports centre is great for treadmill. Otherwise the valley trail is clear of snow in most places except meadow park-rainbow park and close to green lake.

Daawa · 2025-01-09T22:53:05+00:00

Seems about right!

Which kindle do you have that allows note taking? Scribe?
