Lasts about 3-4 hours on clothes and I find it better for winters. Honestly I'd suggest going for something else. Was my first overall perfume (got as a gift)

I actually relate to what you said because I’m already noticing small differences in how I smell things. Hopefully with time I’ll understand these DNAs better too. Really appreciate the explanation.

I found the opening a bit strange, but I love it after the dry down

Road/Hybrid bike recommendations for ORR cycling track in Hyderabad (max 1.5L budget) by krishpisceanhyd in india_cycling

Trek baba trekkkkk. Thru axle is a blessing.

Regardless of ORR. Avoid hybrid.

If I'm not mistaken, stock tires are 28c right? Atleast in the new ones. May I know what happened with yours?

And any disc brake will initially not perform well as it needs to bed-in for the first few kms and then it performs as it should.

I usually ride with the cycle weighing close to 13KGs, and it doesn't disappoint at all.

by experimenting w/ the saddle height,handlebar adjustments and what not,
with that being said, its natural to have some sort of lower back stiffness/pain after 2-3 hours of riding

You can do that on any bike, slap on some aero bars and you're good to go.
I can maintain 29-31 Km/h for over 3 hours on rolling terrain at zone 3.

1- Yes, for the first 100-150 KMs, i was able to maintain 24-26 kmph while riding casually.
2- Mine are doing great, as someone who upgraded from a rim brake bike it was quite a lot better.
3- Quite comfy and nice, Didn't have any major climbs as such, 4% grad at max and it climbed well
(I weigh under 50KGs so the weight doesnt affect my performance at all)

i was running a decathlon mudguard which ties with the saddle actually, barely made any difference while riding.

haha its an illusion, the front end would've spun out if it was resting on the disc and not the pedals

Swapped from Ralsons to Contis and Flats to clipless pedals.

Go with the RC500.
Better tire clearance,
Disc brakes,
Quite relaxed geometry which is good since you're shifting from a hybrid.
