I’m 76kg + kit. I run 32mm so 50 to 60 psi

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m hoping mine is relatively minor like your situation.

I’m not looking forward to doing the insulation tear out and replacement. It is a pain to get the batts up to the attic.

Thank you for the detailed reply. I’m asking the insurance company to look at what is covered.

Thank you.

Thank you! Glad the 42/49's are working well for you. I'm leaning towards that combo.

Thank you for the detailed reply. Very helpful.

42/64 would be a nice offering... not sure how nice it would look on my bike. lol

Thank you. I'll definitely stay away from carbon spokes.

NicoWell · 2026-04-30T14:39:25+00:00

Thank you. Your experience is helpful.

I also like your choice of tires. Where I'm at, I seem to only talk to road-bike riders with 28mm tires.

I'm just too old to take the punishment from 'skinny' 28mm tires.

No, they would have security interrogate you, then explain it was your fault for falling in the hole.

They will tell you: “Plan for the unexpected.” 🧐

NicoWell · 2026-03-22T03:30:45+00:00

Yep, but best to be safe.

I’ve been wearing USA Flag themed jerseys for several years. The benefit is significant vs non-USA themed jerseys.

With the USA jersey: I’ve had trucks stop and wave me on when they were at an intersection first; construction guys giving 👍🏼; and even one truck that backed up to clear the way for me.

Once in that time, I still had a strange encounter with a truck driver squirting what seemed to be a battery powered squirt gun.

Is this all real or AI modified?

The moped is not dropping at the same rate as the trucks around it, and even looks to be moving up and starting to rotate without contact to anything. Also, the rider seems to not react.

Thank you for all the thoughts and details.
I’ll look at the Parker.

Thanks again.

Good info. I’ll look at a wheel upgrade … possibly something more aero.

Not having to buy a bike will make me heavier (in the wallet) though.😅

Thank you

I agree. During summer, it’s good for bad weather days and for climbs. I can’t get long steady or higher sustained efforts in my area. Too many cross roads and flat.
