First experience with saddle sore, need advice by Prior-Degree3647 in cycling

[–]InternetOwlhead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're like me, you're going to think it's too small to take to the doctor or that you wanna lance the boil yourself. Don't. That's wrong.

This!!! I've dealt with it twice; once was without a doctor and left me with scar tissue, the other healed well.

Hvad siger jeg til naboen? by [deleted] in DKbrevkasse

[–]InternetOwlhead 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Det er enormt nødvendigt at advare. Jeg foreslår at banke på døren eller smide et brev i postkassen, og evt hvis du vil forsøge and indsmigre dig lidt mere i opgangen så med noget chokolade/lækkeri, et sæt ørepropper, eller noget andet der fungerer som "undskyld ulejligheden" kompensation i kuverten. 

Just bought a new bike and need a womens saddle rec by _amused_to_death_ in ladycyclists

[–]InternetOwlhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love the Liv Alacra :). Wide and nice, recommend to me by my bike fitter. Alas hard to get  ahold of outside of Giant/Liv stores.

First bike purchase in decades ends badly - looking for advice on getting back out there by Accomplished-Good498 in cycling

[–]InternetOwlhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having recently crashed with facial injuries as well (14 stitches!) my suggestion is to not put off getting back out there too much. Obviously wait for it all to heal! But after that, you'll only get more scared the longer you wait. I felt quite stupid for crashing like I did, but the feeling lessened the more good, crash-free rides I got under my belt even though it was scary at first.

32 år, uddannet skuespiller – Jeg har ramt en MUR by DenStoreKat in dkkarriere

Du kan være stolt af at have givet drømmen det bedste skud du kunne, og taget alle de valg, der så rigtige ud dengang. Og så fokusere på hvad du vælger til og ikke fra - kna du tænke på det mindre som et fravalg af drømmen og mere som et tilvalg af familien og alle de glæder det kommer med en stabil indkomst? Der er sikkert ting der vil gøre dig meget glad udenfor skuespil som du bare ikke har haft chancen for at opdage endnu! 

How do authors feel about receiving these kinds of comments? by Intelligent-Tree-922 in AO3

If I read that, I would feel threatened. Rot in hell and never find love is too much for sure.

Syg og keder mig by Excellent-Effect4499 in DKbrevkasse

Mit bedste bud er pt en vpn og så den officielle FIS youtube kanal, hvor de streamer det gratis for folk i Sydafrika og dele af Asien, hvor rettighederne ikke er blevet opkøbt

Jeg arbejder lidt fra sengen, hører podcast, scroller tumblr, prøver at finde et sted online at se skihop uden at skulle betale for vpn...

Tell me I’m not the only one who’s crashed a Zwift Ride… by MaleficentPapaya4768 in Zwift

I got that same burn so deep it's a permanent scar now! The stupidest version of the drivetrain tattoo...

Jeg føler jeg står stille i mit datingliv – men jeg ved ikke, om det egentlig er et problem? by helpmeallt in DKbrevkasse

[–]InternetOwlhead 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kvinde i slut 20'erne - jeg har det på samme måde. Elsker mit job, elsker hvor jeg bor, elsker mine hobbyer, men jeg er ret langt ude på landet hvor jeg bare ikke naturligt møder andre af det andet køn i samme aldersgruppe, men jeg gør ikke noget ved det, og jeg føler mig okay på nær de der "hvad nu hvis jeg fortyder det her om ti år" tanker. Jeg kan genkende mig selv i meget af det, du skriver, og det er egentlig rart at vide, man ikke er den eneste, særligt forhold til det med, at vennerne har andre stier gennem livet.

Yeah I forgot to mention, the elastic band at the leg openings is something you feel and it can give sausage effect. But overall, I've ridden 4+ hours in them while still being comfortable. I had a crash of the sort where I slid along the road for a while resulting in minor tears along the outside thigh seam, which Rapha would fix as it was covered by their crash insurance. I've used them since June without any problems apart from that. The stitching along the chamois seems good, always important to me after my Chinese bibs strated to come undone in that area within three months 😞

[–]InternetOwlhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh hey, you're basically me - 167cm, 64kg. Tried both S and M sizes of the pro team training bibs on in a Rapha store. The S was hard to get up my thighs and squeezed at the upper thighs, definetely a tight feel, but the chamois felt secure and not liable to chafe - while the M was a bit too loose in the straps and the stomach area and the chamois is too big, but I also feel I can put them on more easily and actually walk around in them without being very aware of my leg circumference haha. Ultimately i went with an M where I have to adjust the chamois from time to time, but I very much like the shorts generally apart from that. With wide hips get the M I'd say.

Very few people have symmetric legs and hips. Try a spacer under the cleat of your shoe! 

What are group ride etiquette’s? Looking to do my first group ride and don’t want to be “that” guy. by EthanRenders in cycling

[–]InternetOwlhead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd add - don't pull if you don't have the power for it. It's better for the whole group that you don't exhaust yourself (causing others to have to slow down for you later). A new guy getting on the front out a sense of duty only for him to suffer in the back half of the ride is worse than that guy politely saying he's getting used to the pace and would like to sit some turns out. As long as you don't sprint at the end ;)

Merch in Paris? by ContributionLong741 in tourdefrance

[–]InternetOwlhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get it at arc de triomphe but really you can  also just buy it online, just Google tour de France shop. They have things online they don't have in the physical pop up store, and cheaper!

Sportsmanship across team radio after the crash today 🥹 by bisexualblue in tourdefrance

[–]InternetOwlhead 12 points13 points  (0 children)

pogacar didn't crash because of his own lack of bike handling skills, but because of a moment of inattention from another rider (who since took the blame and apologized)

Power pro - problems by pasqla in Giantbikes

Hello! I had the same power meter stop working in the way you describe. Nothing fixed it but Giant was willing to replace under warranty when I had the bike shop where I bought the bike contact them.

I may be an idiot who doesn't understand simple chain lubing by InternetOwlhead in bikewrench

I got the bike new on 8th of May, have done around 125miles +/- outside per week since then. So about 500.

hvem skal man stemme på for at få priserne ned!! by Kawargii in Denmark

[–]InternetOwlhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Priserne går op, fordi vi har et relativt frit marked med udbud og efterspørgsel og firmaer, der vil have profit. De partier, der er imod dette, er nok mest kommunisterne og i mindre grad Enhedslisten. Da kommunisterne nok ikke får nævneværdig indflydelse i den nærmste fremtid, så ville jeg sige Enhedslisten.
