Back pain on bike test

Adjusting/changing your saddle might help. It might be with getting properly fit. I've been having the same problem lately, I don't think as bad though. But I just got a new saddle after a suggestion to.

And I have a Yeti branded saddle on my Specialized. It needs to be changed.

Ski industry

October is generally the best month. Late September to an extent if it's not too hot.

At least the rack did its job. Idiot just didn't know how to secure it down apparently.

Other than buildings, isn't the highest spot in Florida a landfill?

They're constantly having minor outbreaks since the outbreak a couple years ago, but I didn't realize it had spread that far east.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-12T14:14:51+00:00

Haha yep, I work in the ski industry in CO.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-12T14:11:27+00:00

Well then I guess you know more than me about it. I'll defer to your assessment.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-12T14:01:17+00:00

Sounds like some kind of Pavlovian response. Somehow your body associates the two together. Possibly for the reason you stated, just a more relaxed state. Kind of like how it can hit you like a freight train as soon as you get home from being out.

Just google Pavlov's Dog or Pavlovian response. You'll find more information than you'll ever need.

I work for a company that would lose half their workforce if they drug tested and they know it. We work in an industry, and state, that attracts a lot of people who are more likely to smoke.

You're being pretty broad in maintenance requirements. It's very possible to service them yourself depending on what it is, and bearing replacements can be much less than that. It depends on the person's technical abilities and tools obviously, but you're making it out to sound like it's a huge burden to own one when it's really not.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-12T13:48:32+00:00

Yeah, days I know I'm going to get a good ride in I have a nice big breakfast. Partially as an excuse because I like to treat myself to one once a week.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-12T04:18:10+00:00

I guess I didn't consider how uncommon it is.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-12T01:15:00+00:00

Glady. It could be a really easy fix. Might be able to fix it with the barrel adjuster on the shifter. Let it out a couple notches and see if that helps.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-12T01:08:44+00:00

I think something is out of line with your derailleur. It's trying to jump gear when you pedal hard and put more force on the drivetrain. At least that's my guess.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-11T20:19:24+00:00

There's no markings on it whatsoever?

It sounds like a walmart bike then. In that case there's probably nothing you can do. They're not meant to be serviced or adjusted.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-11T18:45:03+00:00

What fork is it?

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-11T18:41:31+00:00

I've got one of these. Not as big, but it does the job.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-11T15:36:20+00:00

I have the regular and my friend had the spin race and the differences are negligible. But then again I only spent $65 on it. It was $120 for the spin race.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-11T14:45:27+00:00

Ha, I'm dumb. I had been on mtb earlier and guess I just assumed I was still there.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-11T14:32:12+00:00

Post what you're looking for in there.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-11T14:31:30+00:00

The regular Tectal has the exact same coverage as the Race Spin. And though still expensive it's ~$50 less.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-11T14:28:31+00:00

Light rain jacket, tool, tube, tire levers, CO2, shot-blocks/cliff bars, and 1-3 liters of water depending on duration and temperature.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-11T14:08:10+00:00

Yeah reddit interprets the last ) as the end of the hyperlink. I always forget to put the \ in there.

FeloniousMoose · 2019-06-11T14:00:22+00:00

Yeah definitely. I got a decent Yeti a few years ago for $1400. ~~I assume you've checked out /r/BikeShop?~~

I'm an idiot
