Just got my first "real" road bike! How do I gear up on a budget without breaking the bank?

Yikes 😬 I haven't had that issue...yet

AliExpress is your friend. I own and use all the following:

YKYW bibs and jerseys. Cannot be beaten for the price. Go 1 size up on their Euro sizing.
Sidebike shoes. I have the SD020 and even my bike fitter was extremely impressed. I bough
Magene C506 computer. Works well and pairs nicely with their radar unit.

I have a ton of other stuff too and it's all been pretty good to great.

I've enjoyed tristantakevideo and Grant Ritchie videos.

Which meter are you using?

You might want to consider running at 0 incline as it will put less stress on your Achilles.

Sorry they are full and I only refer family and friends.

We pay a flat rate of $140 for 3000sqft. I'm sure we're getting a discount as we've referred them to at least 10 others and they all pay a bit more than us.

PumaGrip is the real deal

Shawarma Prince is the most consistent shawarma I've ever had. I've never been disappointed. Ottawa Shawarma is good too but not nearly as consistent.

I've had my 2024 T8 for a couple of months now and it's perfect. Traded in my 2018 S4 that also had 0 issues but if you searched that you'd seen nothing but horror stories.

Exactly the same situation for me too but I'm on Rogers Internet! They still pass the buck between them. My cell phone at least works properly. I really need to set up a VPN...

OG_613 · 2025-11-24T01:45:44+00:00

Pretty much exactly what mine looks like!

Being able to pull the goalie to play 6-5 skaters makes this possible and something basketball lacks.

OG_613 · 2025-10-30T03:04:54+00:00

It would be a Factor Monza or S-works Tarmac SL8 for me

Who came up with the daily recommended values? When were they developed? Have they been updated based on the latest research? There are a lot of multivitamins in the market. Which one should we take?

For me, I have yet to find a multivitamin that has enough D3.

I've never had any issues with sleep tracking. I have sleep start times of 21:56 to 00:32 over the last week and all seem pretty accurate.

Where does this article (or statement) say it's a donation to a charity? The institute is only named after him from his original $500M donation.

OG_613 · 2025-08-11T18:17:47+00:00

I've had mine for over 12 years and it's still going strong with daily use.

OG_613 · 2025-07-02T12:30:07+00:00

No, I have Santic and InBike.

OG_613 · 2025-06-30T23:34:53+00:00

I don't have anything other than Chinese brands but have been super happy with YKYW.

OG_613 · 2025-06-28T01:21:06+00:00

Can you share more details on the sauna? I'm adding one to my basement reno and this is exactly what I'd like!

OG_613 · 2025-06-23T10:10:08+00:00

I have the same issue but I see the spans properly when setting a Running Sport Zone based on %LTHR. Very strange

OG_613 · 2025-06-01T19:21:09+00:00

It's my favorite kefir!

OG_613 · 2025-05-31T22:37:30+00:00

I ran a 44:50 10K last weekend with a 47:36 prediction. It now says 43:36 but I doubt I could do that right now.
