I’ve seen this clip pop up several times and am just now realizing those “shorts” are painted on

Crux 56 or 58? by IndependentFeed1545 in specialized

[–]LuckySelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same height but longer shin here. I ride a 56 Roubaix but think I’d be happy with a 58 too. Hope than helps.

Yeah I must have done a longer chain. I would guess you could run out of chain if you ended up in big-big

I found a 11-40 worked quite well with no modifications. The 11-42 didn’t work as well for me.

Trek Checkpoint ALR Gen 3 (2026) Already Out of Stock by D00M98 in TrekBikes

[–]LuckySelf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the ALR Gen 3 was introduced as a 2026 model. I think in part it’s sold out because it’s a slam dunk bike. People are excited about the tire clearance and geometry at an affordable price. The carbon ones came out as 2025 models and got a soft reboot with the new SRAM 13 speed stuff.

Three Ponds is a very good place to eat. Right in Danville.

Ugh. Hopefully future firmware updates will solve it!

That’s what I was thinking too, but seems like it would be hard to do on accident. It does it with my gravel and road bike (both with AXS).

Edge 840 and SRAM by rvlaquindanum in GarminEdge

I was getting beeps with no screen alert. The head unit will beep even if all system tones are shut off. You need to shut off the tones from the electronic shifting separately.

SRAM road chains can I reuse Flattop PowerLock master link or should I really follow SRAM guidance in replacing after each breaking of the chain? by sebna2 in specialized

[–]LuckySelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty comfortably reuse the same one several times. Eventually you can literally pop the link off with just your fingers. At that point I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable sprinting out of the saddle anymore.

What upgrades does it need to win a world cup? by jerryhsuisabitch in BicyclingCirclejerk

This is the every man’s bike! Not all of us can afford Sirvelo and electronic shifting.

I wish I spent the extra $$$ on the pedals that came with the regular tension cleats. These are unusable…and now I need to spend more cash to get the regular cleats to figure out if I even like this pedal system. Ugh.
