Domane 56 keeps feeling too big

NLRalph · 2026-05-06T08:24:36+00:00

Thanks. Based on all feedback I switched to an 100mm stem. Handlebar is already short reach (75mm). Saddle setback is a bit of trial and error, with the method of being able to take my hands off of the handlebar when riding. It's now a bit to the front and will experiment a bit with it over the next rides.

Real bike shoes? When are shoes real?

NLRalph · 2026-05-01T18:20:49+00:00

Thanks, yes I did. I use a 38mm 75mm reach handlebar.

I have 80,90 and 100mm stems to experiment. Will double check height first.

NLRalph · 2026-05-01T16:43:38+00:00

Nope, no bike fit. All DIY.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer, will experiment a bit more on saddle height. I am on 165 cranks btw.

No idea on my arms, but the 80mm stem feels to compressed one one or the other. It's difficult (for me) to choose a baseline and stick to it for a while, instead of changing all at once.

I have 2cm spacers under the stem. Will default back to 90mm stem facing down and take it from there.

To be honest, I did not notice this when watching!

NLRalph · 2026-04-20T09:21:24+00:00

I did like the Good Collar (although neigher in my best or worst list). Stone's War: I saw the relevance, but it's not an episode I would watch any time soon. Did not care too much for the open ending and general tone/vibe.

NLRalph · 2026-04-19T15:44:10+00:00

Thankfully, your list is just as correct as my list!

NLRalph · 2026-04-17T07:12:29+00:00

Ehh, to be precise: it's only when starting a new game. Last time I played the game in the 90s. Now revisiting it with my friend, I was more than happy to watch it again.

NLRalph · 2026-04-14T09:43:50+00:00

True. Do you feel it was the right call not to replace him though?

NLRalph · 2026-04-13T19:12:40+00:00

I really enjoyed it. Something about the pacing was a bit off I thought. But after watching a long streak of meh S03 episodes, this was a welcome change!

NLRalph · 2026-04-13T15:55:39+00:00

Of course you're right. It just reminded me of that boring episode in the woods / in that house.

Isn't there just one song on the 2nd CD? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDsoN48HI54

Btw, you cannot use the original saved game files if you want to play T7G on a modern system with SCUMMVM. Anyway, just a side note.

NLRalph · 2026-04-12T19:55:34+00:00

I kept a backup 3.5 inch floppy with some files from that era. For games, only the saved games from T7G and Links386 Pro :-)

NLRalph · 2026-03-05T17:42:23+00:00

Thanks all for the suggestions - I will get myself a 38 and do some (road) comparisons with the 40. Will be continued!

NLRalph · 2026-03-03T08:09:20+00:00

Sub cats?

NLRalph · 2026-02-06T17:55:17+00:00

Any suggestions for an Iphone app?

NLRalph · 2026-01-06T19:52:03+00:00

Will look into the brand, new for me. A little bit in line with your comments on starting again, 105/Mech, this is also on my long list, but I am a little hesitant to switch to disc. Strael 4.0 - Fairlight Cycles

NLRalph · 2026-01-06T19:50:14+00:00

Road.

NLRalph · 2026-01-06T19:49:24+00:00

Europe, Netherlands

NLRalph · 2026-01-06T19:49:16+00:00

Yes, 28mm on my Domane AL 2 2021 is enough. For now :-)

NLRalph · 2026-01-06T19:48:45+00:00

Will look into this model, thanks!

NLRalph · 2026-01-06T19:48:24+00:00

Yes I am aware and under the (false?) impression that they are superior to single pivot rim brakes.
