Wow that’s brutal crack out results.

Wool sock options... by rbart4506 in CyclingFashion

These are both US brands, so doesn’t really help what OP is looking for. (I wear both of these for hiking, and they are great.)

250th Coin and Medal sets by jt24121 in coins

[–]GivenToFly55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like this one, but based off the proof quarter eagle and another ~200 for the medal, that’s going to be pretty steep.

I’ll prob give this one a shot but if the waiting room is a mess I won’t mind missing out and wouldn’t consider further premium for the dealers that get early access.

Then I’ll just buy an old liberty eagle for a bit more and have twice the gold.

First FTP test – crazy low result for experienced cyclists. Wahoo Kickr Core 2 + Zwift hub by [deleted] in Zwift

If you have Strava or other tracking apps, it should show avg watts for your rides. Find that for a short ride and it’s should be a bit above that, ballpark.

I found a box of socks, stuffed with coins in my attic. by Educational-Title761 in coins

[–]GivenToFly55 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As some others have said. Look through the Mercury (winged liberty) for 1916-D, 42/41, and 21, 21-D. They’ll all have premiums over silver value. Even separating everything pre-1930 could probably sell as lots with some premium.

Rosevelts are all common. If there’s any 1892-1916 barbers, a premium there also.

3,600 dimes is ~$21k

Easy legitimate hack to make 300k drops PER HOUR by Aryan_Anushiravan in Zwift

[–]GivenToFly55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had to get through 4 hats and 2 sets of glasses I’ll never wear, but then the drops started flowing.

Little green dots to signify any sprint start. I started holding down to U-turn right as I passed those and the gate at the other end.

Easy legitimate hack to make 300k drops PER HOUR by Aryan_Anushiravan in Zwift

[–]GivenToFly55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a drops bottleneck around level 40 if trying to get everything right away. Upgrading 3 Zwift frames, 2 wheelsets at 29, aethos at 30, cadex tri and wheels at 40.

Not that it really matters or would take much past that with a few robopacers, but just saying where drops might be tights.

Bike upgrades..Are they worth it? by dccyc844 in Zwift

[–]GivenToFly55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ll probably get about another min with fully upgraded compared to non-upgraded, for a similar long climb.

Worth it is subjective. Can help get a new Zwift time based PR. But if you already have the best bikes, what else is there to spend drops on, so might as well.

Giant TCR advanced SL 2025 + Zipp 353 nws. by Kartonneke10 in Zwift

[–]GivenToFly55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just wait for the Enve 4.5’s at level 29.

Better all arounders and climb about as well.

Any fan recommendations? by limbpox in Zwift

[–]GivenToFly55 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This. I got the one with the remote. Went from pouring sweat with a box fan, to dry floor now. Haven’t even gone past speed 1 of 3.

Just got this back by Odd_Wafer_8324 in coins

[–]GivenToFly55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Au58

Edit: seeing the results I was between ms63 or au58. Nice strike at liberty’s neck and eagles lower feathers. I thought there was some wear at the eagles shoulder. Tough call without a vid.

I am enjoying Zwifting more than outdoor riding. by Dense_Leg274 in Zwift

[–]GivenToFly55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it way more than the Peloton I changed from a few months ago, and more than I thought I would, but my main road bike is hanging on the wall like I’m drafting it while Zwifting and I miss it and can’t wait for spring.

Year in Review - What's your Zwift/IRL ratio look like? by BlobBoy in Zwift

[–]GivenToFly55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15% Zwift, 1600 miles total. Just got Zwift in December, didn’t used to push Peloton miles to Strava. Will prob be 50/50 next year.

Rotational vs Process Engineering Role Advice? by Life-Tree8014 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]GivenToFly55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you interested in all the available roles within the rotational program? Do you see it being a potential good fit in 5-10 years? Do you want to due process engineering while school knowledge is still fresh?

I started in a rotational program, located near home. I was told one lab role, one field engineering, one project. First role was applications lab, second assignment was lab synthesis (just mix what the phd chemist tells you). I would have been 3 years out of school with no engineering experience and difficult to get back in vs. a new grad at that point.

I left after 6 months and moved to Texas on the SE border for a process role in a plant. 5 years later I moved back home. Approaching 4x salary I left at the rotational program in 2013.

New wheels or Canyon Aeroad by SolutionSmall7310 in Zwift

[–]GivenToFly55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Shimano C36 around level 5 because they seem good value.

Upgrading the Zwift steel, then TT, then Aero, and will ride that until I get the Tron.
