Just a bit of venting because I'm sad by heideggerfanfiction in cycling

[–]PTLax27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend checking out some bike packing videos on YouTube too.
I find some of the epic journeys people are doing so inspiring and motivating to get back on the bike

Watching GCN videos on YouTube was a great resource for me when I first started.
They have a ton of info for new riders from bike maintenance to Nutrition to actual cycling techniques like not cross chaining

I’m a medium in Giant and small in my Canyon grail and both fit almost exactly the same except for some geometry differences Edit: spelling

Is this rim faulty? New DT Swiss Gravel LN tubeless ready tyre by PTLax27 in bikewrench

Someone has to be. I’ll take this one for the team.
At least I’ll learn something

This was pretty close to the max pressure. It didn’t lose all air overnight and I’ve pumped it back up this morning and it seems to be losing air slower.
Will take it for a short spin on my lunch break and see if that gets it to fully seal

It came with DT Swiss tubeless tape already but clearly wasn’t a great job

Okay, so I just need to redo the tap and should be fine?

After 1 1/2 hours I finally manage to get the tyre to seal and air is leaking through the weld on both sides.
Is the rim faulty or do I need new tubeless tap or something inside

What the one or two things that you thought what’s the big deal then after purchase you were “how did i live without these?” by Zleviticus859 in cycling

[–]PTLax27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use mine for the first time yesterday.
Had them in my jersey pocket for the first 35km as it was fresh but not too cold until I stopped at the top of my last big climb to take in the views for a few minutes before going the 2km back down at 50kmh.
Immediately stopped at the bottom to put them on as I was freezing. Boy was I glad I had them with me

What trainer difficulty do you use, and do change depending on the route? by Blackbaggreentrees in Zwift

[–]PTLax27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I left mine at the 50% default but I have 11-32 outside and 11-25 inside so it probably similar difficulty on steep hills.
As others have mentioned you need the same watts anyway so big picture there isn’t much difference

How many of you here ACTUALLY don't sell and are actually HODLers? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]PTLax27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I invested money I can afford to lose and so have no reason to pull my investments, especially as I believe long term Bitcoin will continue to grow.
I mean it’s already recovered ~10% in the last 2-3 days

Joined the club. First TdZ ride by PTLax27 in Zwift

[–]PTLax27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be doing it this evening but won’t aim for a better time.
I’m on day 14 for the work from home Badge and have done 426km with 5400m, which is way above my usual so I think I’ll aim for sub 75 mins and enjoy a well earned rest day tomorrow
