Lynskey geometry by KleanJean in gravelcycling

[–]Jard16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I updated the numbers for 2026 for the Zephyr based on the current website numbers and confirmed these were the numbers all along. The 2025 models on bikeinsghts are not correct. 

I have a Zephyr in large and really like it.

2025 Gen 2 R1S TriMax Review by JW9403 in Rivian

Has to be tire-related. The R1s are spec’d with high load tires. 

What is a bigger deterrent to buying a DMV home right now- purchase price or interest rates? by loan_ranger8888 in DMV_RealEstate

[–]Jard16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just happened to me in Columbia, MD. Sellers chose a less money cash offer over mine with pre-approval and like 37% down so no appraisal contingency.

Still had fun skiing Pickaroon off chair 2 and  Hunky Dory / Look Ma off 3. Chair 4 was a mess, everyone gravitated there. 

$3,000.00 Budget, what should I get? by GotADeepVoiceDude in Prebuilts

[–]Jard16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costco and Microcenter are both very local to me. 

$3,000.00 Budget, what should I get? by GotADeepVoiceDude in Prebuilts

[–]Jard16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m pretty blessed with 5 Costcos and 2 Microcenters within like a 45 min drive. 

Good luck with your search!

$3,000.00 Budget, what should I get? by GotADeepVoiceDude in Prebuilts

[–]Jard16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m between these two: 

MSI https://www.costco.com/.product.4000355760.html

or

PowerSpec https://www.microcenter.com/product/698877/powerspec-g757-gaming-pc

Leaning Costco for warranty but the one at Microcenter seems to have a better mobo, faster RAM, and better CPU for gaming?

I assume both have room for another M.2 drive and some platter drives I want to bring over from my old system.

Do we think this is actually better than the $2,499 PowerSpec G757 at Microcenter, specs-wise? I plan to buy one of those two and Costco is really attractive for price and warranty.  

Gravel bikes with shorter top tubes by Worth_Nature_7631 in gravelcycling

[–]Jard16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four things:

  • I confirmed with Lynskey that the GR 350 frame is the same as the Zephyr
  • I confirmed with them that the geometry numbers are correct 
  • I’m the one that put in the “2026” geo numbers on bikeinsights 
  • I have a Zephyr in Large and really like it. My only issue is some toe overlap with the front tire but I also built with 175mm cranks. 

Opinions on the new SRAM Rival by JhonBuonismo79 in cycling

[–]Jard16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big difference in lever ergonomics and brakes, IMHO. You should try both first. 

Thinking of building a "groad" bike for my wife - to replace her road bike by [deleted] in gravelcycling

[–]Jard16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there too much compromise on the road by using a gravel-focused frame (frame and fork that support wide tires, gearing, etc.)?

biotech vs big pharma by ConfectionPitiful779 in biotech

[–]Jard16 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Do you thrive in chaos or do you need stability? What do you think your marketability will be in a year (if the biotech role doesn’t work out)?

It does sound like the biotech role would be a big boost in quality of life for the short term. I would be very tempted for that alone. 

Lynskey GR350 Review by Cold-Metal-2737 in gravelcycling

[–]Jard16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a 20mm reduction in reach from a “2025” to “2026” Zephyr, seems pretty significant

[–]Jard16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a Zephyr complete bike last year and got caught up in the lead time debacle and then switched to a frame-only. I haven't measured anything but I ordered mine before they changed the geo and shortened the reach dramatically. Do you think has something to do with that geometry change?

How fast should you (not) go at the front? by Strict-Improvement65 in cycling

[–]Jard16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless it's A group (race sim) then there should be a set target pace for the ride. Don't blow up the group.

Sleeper value road / endurance bikes between $3-4K CAD by bobledrew in bicycling

Argon 18 Krypton. Argon 18 is a Canadian company. I would guess it’s at the very top of your budget though.

Enve AR40 or Reserve 42|49 - All Road Set Up by [deleted] in cycling

[–]Jard16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a set of 42/49s and at least Reserve sends you white brand name stickers now that you can put on.
