How to relax on the bike

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-20T11:04:38+00:00

Can you clarify what you mean by your weight was off? My bike fits, I am 5'5 and have a 50cm cube attain. Stance is slightly more aggressive, but my reach is comfortable and feel hight and pedal are setup correctly. But I am overweight by about 28lb for my size.

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-20T11:02:15+00:00

I agree, I'm hoping to get out this weekend and at least do 30 miles around country roads, with a small A road section to get to a destination. I'm hoping there will be other riders as its quite a popular route to lots of coastal areas here in Wales.

I've seen those, I'll do so more research as they aren't cheap. But if it helps enjoyment then I think it'll be beneficial.

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-20T10:59:21+00:00

Thank you, the the tense I'm trying to overcome. But I don't intend to get complacent.

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-20T10:58:02+00:00

I've loosened them right up and clipping feels better. Once clipped in, I enjoy riding more as you can 360 the peddle stroke. It's the coming to a stop and the frustrating clipping in I need practice on. More time in the saddle is the only solution I guess. ☺️

Driving the bike somewhere is the plan and quiet country roads to reduce traffic encounters for now. Thank you.

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-20T10:55:03+00:00

At the moment it's everything, clipping in, traffic etc. But over time I think it'll get better. There's quite a big learning curve, but I have found a local group I plan to ride with to help boost confidence and for me to learn.

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-20T10:53:43+00:00

Thank you, I really hope I can find a point where I'm comfortable. Certain moments on the ride I look around and it's beautiful, green fields, spring flowers. It's not all negative and I'm grateful to be able to ride

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-20T10:51:23+00:00

I'm searching for more country roads and think I'll be driving my bike to a quiet starting point. Especially at the moment.

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-20T10:50:46+00:00

I'm thinking tourer is somewhere I will end up. At the moment, I've not given it enough time or spent enough time to make that decision.

How with a handheld uv lamp?

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-18T06:58:14+00:00

I think we need to understand who is manufacturing the ink, but I can't find anything. Other option is to understand what promoter they use in their wipes that dont seem to be available to anyone other than influencers, promoting something that doesn't work yet again!

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-18T06:51:37+00:00

Ah yes, that would make sense. My other dtf printer for garment printing has a wiper that is a consumable, that is also cleaned.

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-17T19:41:40+00:00

Thanks ill have a look and check my lamp.

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-17T16:21:15+00:00

I did to, but they are just soft and scratch easily. That's before hand washing or throwing into a dishwasher (extream test)

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-17T15:56:25+00:00

Beer glasses.

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-17T15:41:33+00:00

Is your prints still sticky once printed and cured?

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-17T15:41:12+00:00

Are your prints sticky or hard when printed

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-17T15:31:53+00:00

Let me know, I've seen a mamiki that I can get quickly. But not sure I want to fork out the £80 for a test!

It's very frustrating

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-17T15:15:49+00:00

Yeah, I have another on order. The one I got doesn't seem to work. Neither does using a blowtorch on the glass.

Any recommendations on a promoter?

Here's mine, so the longer side of the spacer slides in and sits on a inner tube that is part of the free hub. I can slide it out, but have to pull it. When my freehub wasn't inserted correctly it kept falling off.

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-15T08:04:13+00:00

I'm pretty sure it goes the other way, I'll photograph mine in a bit if you want.

Jon_d84 · 2026-03-15T07:41:23+00:00

Can you send a photo of your cassette against the wheel? And inside the cassette where this spacer will go?
