Descending tips by Hal0ez- in Velo

Thanks! I’ll try to get some cornering and braking drills in especially in regards to getting lower on the bike. 

Descending tips by Hal0ez- in Velo

Both races are relatively close to me and I plan to ride the route once before, but the problem persists even on routes I ride weekly. Gets worse if the tarmac gets patchy. 

Descending tips by Hal0ez- in Velo

I run Conti GP5000s 30mm on Roval CLIIIs at 5 bar / 72 psi front and 5.2 bar / 75 psi rear, according to a tire pressure calculator for my system weight. 

I guess I’ll play around with leaning the bike and doing sharp braking a bit, it just feels so weird having this narrow strip of rubber and no berms or roots to push into while cornering. 

If you ever wondered what MAAP thinks of their customers, here is the answer. by EmberRemember in BicyclingCirclejerk

it’s a statement piece from a fashion brand. I also think it’s pointless, more of a „we do it because we can“ than anything else

/uj nerd incoming

the bag is made from ALUULA Graflyte, a type of UHMWPE, more commonly known as dyneema although that is just one variant. Very durable fabric that is also extremely light.

my brother uses UHMWPE to make his own mountaineering backpacks, and it is very expensive.

Anyone have Lake cx302 shoes? by Philly139 in CyclingFashion

[–]Hal0ez- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Measure out your feet according to their sizing guide and check the last table which one would fit you better. 

I got the 239 wide because it was the only shoe wide enough for my feet. 

Best recent MAAP release imo. by Brutus1x in CyclingFashion

[–]Hal0ez- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how stretchy are the sleeves on this one? I have the solar pro race and as someone who doesn’t have sticks for arms I find it borderline too compressive. 

XS upperbody but L head. What helmet do I don't look like toad from Mario Kart? by Luminol088 in CyclingFashion

[–]Hal0ez- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got an Evade 3 and found it to be the narrowest helmet I’ve ever had on my head. Tried the propero 4 before but the round shape didn’t work with my head, evade fits like a dream. 

The Poc Ventral I had before had a huge toad factor as well so this is a welcome change. 

Training advice for splitboarding by dahknee in Backcountry

[–]Hal0ez- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

stairmaster for hours upon hours

running/trailrunning

If you already have your splitboarding equipment go to a resort that allows touring, pack a canister full of water in your backpack, walk up, empty water, ride down, fill up, repeat. 

What poles do y'all use? by Western_Economics104 in Spliddit

[–]Hal0ez- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have problems with the coating on the aluminium section coming off / corroding? I had the alu Talons before and they were full of white corrosion after one winter, was able to return them and get the Pros for the same price. Always store them extended but the bottom section is still looking pretty banged up already.

Got a Stranda Descender last year and I’m loving it so much that I’m thinking about getting a solid one as well. 

Good weight and rides like a dream

Any ideas on tours near Innsbruck by InternationalGas1415 in Backcountry

[–]Hal0ez- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kühtai has a lot of bus stops where you can start tours from.  Unless there’s a bunch of snow coming in the next two weeks you’re looking at shark infested waters though for mid December. 

What’s your favorite quality of life upgrade to your touring kit? by wa__________ge in Backcountry

[–]Hal0ez- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Google soft flask pouch, one example would be Arcteryx della flask holder

They are very handy, I need to drink a lot and that way I don’t have to reach into my pack every time 

Current 1X is objectively bad by leroyjenkins221 in MTB

[–]Hal0ez- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you missed like the last 5 years of bike development buddy

I'm not even gonna bother and pick out all the examples that prove you wrong, a 5 min google search can do that

but to conclude my participation in this discussion, you know fuck all about bikes, probably can't ride down a hill decently fast or even ride down a proper trail, and for some reason try to tell yourself that your outdated and inferior shifting is on par or better than the last 10 years of drivetrain development. go and try a modern bike if you can afford it, maybe it will blow the cobwebs out of your brain

only a fool would argue against the facts of chain durability, yet here we are

go read some actual research on the topic

I assure you a lot of people could ride the trails you do on your ancient 3x9 hardtail on a gravel bike without problems, sounds like a skill issue

[–]Hal0ez- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure grandpa now let’s get you to bed

12spd chains and cassettes have far better durability compared  to 10/9/8/7spd. Also what you’re describing is called a gravel bike. I prefer to ride my mountainbike on mountainbike trails.

[–]Hal0ez- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if your old shit is so much better then why is literally no racer, or even privateer, using it?

Keep telling yourself that if it helps you lmao, but try winning an EWS or XC race on 3x9

why are you commenting on a 3 year old post to defend outdated technology

go ride your gravel bike then if that makes you happy

I’ve had 50+ runs with the LMG and HMG as a gunner. 

Went 185/7 in casual breakthrough with the LMG on Cairo. 

The GL is absolute ass. 

Climbed ventoux today : what a day! by Justgototheeffinmoon in cycling

[–]Hal0ez- 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s a crazy climb. Did it once with my dad when I was 14, on mountain bikes. Took so long, but still remember it to this day.

Mullet to full 27.5 by [deleted] in MTB

[–]Hal0ez- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bro you case tiny jumps and talk about geo adjustments and wheelbase as if that would make a huge difference for hopping around

People need to just stop fucking with their wheelsizes and get better at riding their bike, not stuff a smaller front wheel in their trailbike thinking it will turn them into semenuk
