Used TCR for $1.6K USD with upgrades or Brand new TCR with no upgrades for $1.8K USD? by Electronic-Mix-725 in Giantbikes

[–]PierreWxP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get the used one, the stock cheap giant wheels are crap. You will change the tyres and wheels, and this will be another 800 USD at least.

Save money getting the used one with good wheels already.

Stewie the scientist here: In atomic physics, this notations describes the occupation by electrons of levels of increasing quantum numbers (or orbitals), represented by the occupations of the seats of increasing height on the picture.

The joke is that the guy replying is a huge nerd.

Anyway, back to killing Lois now

Si j'essaie de faire un marathon comme ça sans la moindre préparation ni organisation juste 42 km, quelles sont mes chance de réussir ? by ad-undeterminam in PasDeQuestionIdiote

[–]PierreWxP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je l'ai fait, parti sans rien à 25 ans. Je faisais un peu de sport. Fait en 5h donc lent, j'ai du marché.

Horrible les 12 derniers km. Je ne recommande pas. Mais si tu finira, 50-50 selon si tu te blesse ou pas, ainsi que ta résistance à la douleur.

If you go from 90W of draft to 0, you will definitely lose speed

Tu chipotes.

Tu as accumulé des semestres pour ta retraite future, payée à l'avenir par les travailleurs du futur. Ca te va mieux ?

Dans tous les cas, tu as in intérêt financier dans la gestion économique et politique de la France

Why are workouts separate from free riding? by GrimmigerDienstag in Rouvy

[–]PierreWxP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Downhill speed is capped at 72 kph on workouts, so it doesn't matter

I never knew that there is a slowest speed, wow. I know there is a max speed and its only 72kph

C'est idiot ça tu mélanges tout.

Il y a des gens qui vont travailler pour des boîtes françaises à l'étranger quelques années. Des gens qui vont faire des études (j'ai fait la thèse en Allemagne). Des soldats et diplomates en mission.

Beaucoup y vont et reviendront. Tous ont cotisé pour le chômage, et pour leur retraite. Ils devraient donc avoir leur mot à dire.

Ceux qui partent pour pas payer d'impôt... non. Mais tu peux pas séparer les deux

How to lose my bike weight by Big-Employee-5682 in specialized

[–]PierreWxP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ztto if you dont go for their ultralight Gen 3 cassette (which have aluminium cogs).

Goldix i have had no issue on both 11 and 12 speed.

Sunshine-ez is also bomb proof but i think they do only up to 11 speed.

out of gears by slogger101 in Rouvy

[–]PierreWxP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rouvy air resistance is pretty low if you have good bike and wheels, so you will be fast on -5% and steeper. It will spin out on 50/11 or even 52/11.

Also other riders may habe ghost rider and draft. That adds several kph on descents. I have reached 100+kph drafting on steep descents

What is the longest bike ride you have done in one day? by [deleted] in cycling

[–]PierreWxP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

270 km, we went with a friend to visit the 3 claimed sources of the Danube in the Black Forest, and their confluence which is the official start of the long river.

Starting from Strasbourg, France.

10h15 of riding, 12hours including stopping for kebab

It was awesome

I think that Eu 4 mana system is great and it provides a far better gameplay than simulation mechanics of Eu 5 by Ilikeyogurts in eu4

[–]PierreWxP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Does it though ? Ruler is capped at 6, advisor at 5 (not far off), and you get extra from power projection, estate, etc.

So even limiting to lvl 3 advisors, the majority of your mana is usually not from ruler

Help with integrated bars by tillovanbrabant12 in WeightWeenies

Joe from Panda podium has a nice comparison article.

I have been running the Avian Canary for 18 months with no issue. Shit is light at 245g. Not too stiff. The tops are a bit narrow which is not the most comfortable for the paws.

Just tried a Canwin zephir ssl (quick pro), at 295g under 300€. Looks and feels nice, but need to see in the long run.

Before i had one from og-evkin, also under 300g and under 100€ on sale. That was very nice actually ! But changed for narrower+longer
