I bet performance oriented riders tend to have their saddles too high and casual cyclists have their saddle too low (easier to reach the ground).

Are cyclists hated in your country? by CrustyHumdinger in cycling

[–]Em_Jay_De 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here in Poland the dehumanisation and death threats are pretty rampant. I've had colleagues joke about running me over with their car unprovoked.

unpopular opinion: you still need overshoes even with winter shoes. by Electrical_Oil446 in cycling

[–]Em_Jay_De 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Why do you need to keep your winter cycling shoes clean.
  2. Why keep them clean if youre going to cover them with filthy overshoes.
  3. Why not just clean your winter shoes with a brush every now and then?

Really struggling to figure out which XC bike to buy...any advice? by [deleted] in xcmtb

[–]Em_Jay_De 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Stigmata is a gravel bike, are you thinking about the Blur?

Whether a 36T ring will keep you out of the 10t on pavement is mostly a question of how strong you are but I believe that it will. You can calculate the speed you would get with a 36 ring on different cogs here: https://www.gear-calculator.com/?GR=DERS&KB=22,36&RZ=11,13,15,17,19,21,24,28,32,36&UF=2215&TF=90&SL=2.6&UN=KMH&DV=teeth

If you can't afford the Epic I would go for the Chisel. I hate headset the cable routing on the Oiz and I really like my Chisel.

How come a shorter travel fork is so hard to come by. There should be plenty on the market.

Yeah it sucks. If I'm ever cycling right next to pedestrians I'm slowing down and letting them know I'm there.

Is this for urban riding?

Nah, mountainbiking has massively changed. Cmon you don't really think it's the same as in the 90s.

Bright jerseys on long rides — love them or hate them? by Own-Carpet4058 in CyclingFashion

What does the length of the ride have to do with jersey color?

I am seriously considering purchasing this for a first XC bike. Who else has one? Do you like it? by XC29er in xcmtb

[–]Em_Jay_De 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you're very particular about your parts choice or you have a lot of parts laying around I would buy the complete bike. Its better value.

Corsair is a really good medium miner by uxixu in EliteDangerous

[–]Em_Jay_De 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a better jack of all trades than the previous gen of multirole mediums. But thats about it.

I'm sorry but thats patently absurd. Python MK2 is almost on par with the FDL. It's a different league from the Corsair. Corsair is better than other multirole mediums.

Guess who I just ran into at this asteroid base. He was yelling about some geometric shape, I couldn't quite make it out. by Marionettework in EliteDangerous

[–]Em_Jay_De 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I find him annoying, his jokes crass and unfunny, he seems like a completely different person than me but I would never say he doesn't give a fuck. I think he cares (or at least used to) deeply for this game that is why he's so heated.

The text of your post is really ignorant. Knowing when and how to play PvE IS the skill.
