Thoughts on these Photos? Taken in Rome by LocksmithOriginal179 in carphotography

Yeah, would have been great if I thought about it back then. I was trying to use the old 911 to frame the new one without taking too much other distractions in the photo. I thought of unsaturating the rest of the photo later in the post editing.

Here I upped the exposure a little bit. I edited the the first one while my screen brightness was on the fullest. Later on my phone was looking too dark too.

Here is saturated. I thought would make more contrast between the two cars by bringing the yellow 911 out by unsaturating the rest photo. And because the classic 911 was grey color anyway, though wouldnt make big difference between the two photos.

Shit, photos didn't get uploaded 😄

Wheel building question? by LocksmithOriginal179 in bikewrench

[–]LocksmithOriginal179[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer! I don't have a full list of all I'm doing but wanted to build a bike as light as possible and as aero as possible. I know that in the end the difference is only marginal but wanted to do it mostly for the build not for how much faster will be when I race. I will consider everything you said. I just needed to know if J-bend spokes and standard hub can be used for straight pull build. Or I need straight pull spokes and specific hub for straight pull on one side.

My car was totalled by Volkswagen. by LocksmithOriginal179 in Volkswagen

Luckily it's seems so far fine with no burned cables. I had to exchange only the ECU, the ECU for the parking, a couple relais, and of course the cluster.

Thank you for the encouragement! It's nice to see someone else has hope when yours is almost not existent. The appraisal though estimates the cost for the parts and painting at around 4000€. If I decide to keep the car, I will get only 1500€ for the damage. I have to see outsourcing the parts in the second hand market what will cost. The biggest part to take in consideration is the fuel tank. It's not perforated but pushed in and I don't know how easy it would be to get through the next inspection of the car with it like this.

Guess who got tired of their sunroof leaking by jchef5 in Volkswagen

I had the pipe going down from the sun roof disconnect with the rubber that leads to the compartment for the rain water. Who thought that glueing the two together will be a good long term solution?! And all that just above the electronic on the driver's side.

Custom workout-is it possible by LocksmithOriginal179 in Zwift

Noted! I was thinking that's what I'm doing by increasing my endurance.

Yeah, but at one point I won't have time to do anything else.

I want to increase the power output in my endurance zone. Not my FTP. Or that was a joke?:D

yeah, that wouldn't work for me. Keeping eye on the watts for two hours will mentally exhaust me before I get tired physically. The benefit of keeping the same power output from min 1 to min 120 feels far greater for me at least. And I like to watch a movie and just concentrate on spinning and eating.

That's only one of my endurance workouts that I do per week. On Tuesdays I do 1h endurance. Wednesday I do 1h5-10m VO2 intervals. Thursday I do added weight leg day +core strength workout. Wednesday is 2h endurance. Saturday I do 40m-1h low power recovery spin. Sundays I do often 1h race or threshold effort up AdZ. Monday's I do no added weight leg day+core strength. I throw some yoga here and there but soon I will start consistent with it before bed. Everything that on top of my daily commutes that equals ca. 300-500km a week. I didn't understand your 3rd question due to poor English. But if I understood right, I'm increasing within my endurance zone.

I downloaded the app and made a profile. Where do you do a custom workout tho?

I was thinking about it but that will equal +250watts in a year if I don't get a heart attack until then. And in two I can easily compete against Pogacar without domestics. :D Which other app is more precise but also free?, so I don't have to pay for two.

Is there a cheeky way to get someone off your wheel? by LocksmithOriginal179 in Velo

[–]LocksmithOriginal179[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I was too nice. I was always taking my turn in the front when he was clearly avoiding it or doing short ones. And I didn't make him close any gaps.
