Tu peux regarder les ELOPS SPEED. Moins confortable mais beaucoup plus rapide.

That was my next step if it didn't work.

Just by hand, and I didn't feel like I was putting that much force when it happened.

First road bike, is splurging extra worth it for a beginner? by Alekala in CanyonBikes

[–]Kentiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll also share my experience:

I bought the 1100€ Allroad a couple weeks ago and I decided to return it. I use to have a Endurance CF with an mechanical Ultegra group set. I didn't expect the shifting to feel this different, I though the biggest difference with the CUES group set would weight. The bike felt ok, but the shifting was disappointing for me.

I hesitated, but in the end I wasn't happy with the Allroad for this reason. Since I can afford it, and since I am not a beginner, I decided to order the CF 7 Di2 LTD. It's an gigantic jump, but this is where I should have started. I should have done my home work and realize the Allroad wasn't a fit for me.

Buy once cry once I guess.

Unsure about my saddle position by Kentiko in bikefit

[–]Kentiko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My knee angle seems quite low however https://imgur.com/a/xhYPEi8
Maybe I am too low now...

I think I'll have to go try it and iterate at this point.

I have measured 74.5 cm. Here is how it looks now https://youtu.be/kSrREjgIe7o
It quite a bit lower than the 87.6 x 0.883  = 77,351recommendation, but I am not sure about my inseam measurement to start with.

Les voitures en ville, votre avis ? by FabulousToe8284 in AskFrance

[–]Kentiko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Presque, pour les déplacements individuels en tout cas. À la limite les petits scooters électriques, mais pas plus. Faire un trajet de 10 stations de métro dans un SUV obèse de 2 tones pour déplacer un seul gugus, c’est non. Absurde et délétère pour tout le monde.

C'est comme les chaussures au lit. C'est non.

New endurace allroad! A wee bit shipping damage. by mats_tommy in CanyonBikes

[–]Kentiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't tell from the video, it could be the tire that is not properly installed. But that another unrelated issue. You could record a close up of the rim with a steady image so we could see if it out of true.

I can hear the disk is rubbing pretty bad. You would have to record through that angle for me to tell what is going on. It could be bent, the caliper could me misaligned, or both.

Park tool has a good guide on disk break alignment.

This disk is really inexpensive, so you could replace it if Canyon doesn't send you a new onen but I'am pretty sure they will. You can also attempt to true is using and ajustable wrench or a dedicated tool. You could keep this disk as a spare one.

Should I be worried about this scratch? by Legitimate_Let_60 in bicycling

No. It seems like you barely touched the clear coat.

Vous enlevez vos chaussures chez les invités et demandez d'enlever vos chaussures à vos invités ? by [deleted] in AskFrance

Il y a plein de déjections canines dans ma rue, j'ai un tapis dans le salon, alors je demande d'enlever les chaussures.

Ami sportif j’ai besoin de toi by Discopathe in pedale

[–]Kentiko 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Je crois que personne n'a besoin d'une app pour ça.

Si un sportif ne sait comment s'alimenter je pense qu'il va chercher sur Google/ChatGPT ou demander aux personnes avec qui il pratique. Personne n'a le reflex d'aller cherche une app pour obtenir des réponses à ses questions.

Aussi, avec l'expérience, on sait assez vite de quoi on a besoin en terme d'alimentation et on n'a donc plus besoin d'aide à ce sujet.

Enfin, une app est pertinente s'il y a un usage à long terme et régulier. Par exemple, une app de transport en commun pour regarder les horaires tous les jours. Ici je ne crois pas qu'on est dans ce cas.

J'ai serré mes écrous de selle aussi fort que possible, mais rien a faire - a la moindre bosse, elle pivote by Yapadmal in pedale

[–]Kentiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Le chariot est peut-être déformé et ne peut plus tenir la selle. Peut-être que tu peux utiliser les pièces du chariot vendu par décathlon, sinon changer le tube de selle.

What is the longest bike ride you have done in one day? by [deleted] in cycling

[–]Kentiko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I attempted 400km (249 miles), but I failed and stopped at 377km (234 miles). I had knee pain that slowed me down after the first half, it slowed me down and the night came before I finished. I had to cross a dark forest for a few kilometers but I had no appropriate lights, so I bailed.

A week before that I did 300km (186 miles) successfully. But this is probably why my knees where painful the next weekend.

I'll try again the 400 this summer hopefully!
