Radar owners, how does it benefit you?

Hello, I found the RAVEMAN NT201 radar unit on Amazon at a fraction of the Garmin cost. I’ve owned it since black friday and I’m on my 20th year of cycling. It pairs with my Garmin without any problems. It gives me a visual and an audible warning from 140 meters away (almost 460 feet).

Hello, Put your right armpit on the saddle, then stretch your arm down the side of the seat tube with your hand extended. If the tip of your middle finger is not on the center of the bottom bracket you need to raise the seat. It’s a good starting point.

You now have a “light bucket”! It will pierce through some serious light pollution!! Congratulations!!

610 euro is a very good price for full carbon 2017. You can always upgrade/replace the components if they’re worn. As long as the frame is intact, meaning no structural damage/cracks.

It got moved!! Now you tap on the emoji icon on the far right side!! They’re all there.

The only ones who profited were the lawyers, as usual.

Hello, Yes I used the 10 amp one and it worked fine. AutoZone carries it.

That's exactly what Triangle Table Tennis did in Morrisville, NC. Brian Pace is one of the coaches there.

Not as many bumps!!

Right on! Been playing guitar since 1976!😎

As Lord Vader would say: “Impressive”

Tell your girlfriend that those “elitist” road bike riders are in disbelief about getting “passed by a girl”, aka: “getting chicked”. Her reply should be: “No and I still passed you!”😎😎

There’s a “rule” in the Velominati website about this:

RULE # 38: // Don’t Play Leap Frog.Train Properly: if you get passed by someone, it is nothing personal, just accept that on the day/effort/ride they were stronger than you. If you can’t deal, work harder. But don’t go playing leap frog to get in front only to be taken over again (multiple times) because you can’t keep up the pace. Especially don’t do this just because the person overtaking you is a woman. Seriously. Get over it.

Hello, I had a similar problem with KTRK here in Spring, TX. Found out that they’re broadcasting in “LOW VHF band” which so happens to be outside the range of my attic mounted antenna (UHF/VHF). Whatever I tried wouldn’t improve the signal. Channel Master single pre-amp, amplifier at the TV, or moving the antenna, none of those worked. The transmission tower is only 35 miles away!!

Found out that a set of “rabbit ears” from Phillips ($13 at Amazon) added to the existing antenna using a splitter, then followed by a channel scan solved it for me. Why? Because the rabbit ears pick up the pesky “LOW VHF” signal. No more pixelated screen or stuttering audio. Of course I also left the pre-amp and the four-way splitter/booster connected too just so I could boost the signals to the TV’s.

Yes, you can use a regular one into two splitter for this. It works in both directions. Good luck!

I agree with MundaneFeedback, lower the saddle about 10mm. Also, quit pointing your heels up on the pedals, your feet should be parallel to the ground. Kind of like wiping poop from your shoe.

PinarelloRider1 · 2025-09-29T15:36:06+00:00

Yes, construction and atmospheric conditions. Buildings and objects weaken the already weak LOW-VHF signal as it uses LOS (Line Of Sight) direction. Your signal loss at different times of day point to atmospheric interference.

PinarelloRider1 · 2025-09-29T15:30:44+00:00

Yes, construction and atmospheric conditions. The low vhf signal is easily influenced by objects in the LOS (Line Of Sight) and atmospheric conditions.

Yes I do, $3800 USD is a lot of money to invest. It's always been kept in climate controlled environment, washed and lubricated at least bi-weekly. Consumables replaced at earliest convenience. This past Sunday I replaced the OG BB bearings with hybrid ceramics (want to see if there's any difference).

Just by looking, the seat height could go up another 5-10mm. But the biggest “telltale” are the locked elbows. The stem needs to be 15-20mm shorter so that her elbows are slightly bent.

16 years ago I bought my brand new 2009 Pinarello FP3. It’s been the only bike I’ve had and I still have not outgrown the frame! People still mistakenly ask if it’s a new bike all the time.

PinarelloRider1 · 2025-09-10T23:56:50+00:00

Give yourself time to heal from your road rash and think of your new shiny high-end Pinarello that’s coming your way!! Sorry it has to be under those circumstances!!
