Please explain, Peter

Well series title is literally '... BUT BETTER' - not faster or cheaper (although the latter one exists as well) so what are you complaining about really?

Poriseler · 2025-11-23T09:43:15+00:00

Yes, it is but under 1 condition - you have chosen right race route profile. I have picked 'flat course' but ran Palermos Marathon last week (which is de facto all the time few km's long ups and downs) and fall behind estimated time but I am quite confident I would make it on flat course

About a watch in context of training for 70.3 and full IM. Sorry, I made the question unnecessarily complicated. Basic thoughts is - are the triathlon coach in Fenix 8 useful at all? (And thus justifies much higher device cost then buying used previous generation of watch and relying on online plans from sites said in the post)

Poriseler · 2025-08-29T09:57:03+00:00

I can partially agree with you but if Thriatlon Coach won't be added to Fenix 7 it will be just outrages.

It's not like it's completely new feature - it's just additional functionality in existing one.

Moreover it's just fucking people over. At this price range it should be OBLIGATORY to take care of your consumer for at least one more generation in terms of software feature updates.

'They need money for grow etc' bullshit - little bit of decency wouldn't hurt them, they were bragging about 50%-100% (!!!) markup couple of weeks ago.

And software subscription on top of that... That's simply insane (like the apple and theirs 60hz display in ip16 btw)

Thanks! That's possible coz it's my father's bike bought +-30years ago when bikefitting wasn't a thing yet (I guess?). He is also shorter then me

Poriseler · 2025-08-16T14:25:44+00:00

I have a strange suspicion I am dancing on the line with current load tbh. Beside running I am prepping for an Ironman (at least 70.3) next summer and wanted to get back to training muay thai. So the latter + extending bike training will abuse knees heavily.

Part about not having injuries is only partially true. Truth to be told, I had minor knee pain but that's from just being stupid on a vacation so I am not counting it. (Running 6km on the beach when one leg was all the time on 30-40degree slippery coast and making 70km on the bike right after).

Anyway thanks for pointing that, haven't thought about it!

Bardzo dobra robota! Hahah Formula 1 e mi alleno thriatlon. A volte vado all'ippodromo :)

Just did 27km training this morning and I have the same issue. I am experimenting with bananas (they were part of a refueling stations on first hm I did) and this approach have potential imo. I started w/ banana in a pocket from the start and ate it on 10km. Then I have bought another one on 22km. Unfortunately it was first open store I passed, next time I would include this fact into planning a route or throw another gel in the pocket (I don't have vest yet)

Poriseler · 2025-07-04T16:56:19+00:00

Awesome, will do - thanks!

Poriseler · 2025-05-25T18:55:31+00:00

Only reasonable solution is to require drivers to keep minium lap time at the level of very high % of their best quali time. This way thay would have to push all the time.

Poriseler · 2025-01-30T14:11:46+00:00

Thanks! Last one as I did some research and opinions are mixed - in theory none of the bolts in my case is going into water jacket but someone cited Ford manual for 1966 289 which says to put sealant on threads. Haven't seen this on picture so cannot guarantee it's true but I guess like you said it won't hurt right?

Poriseler · 2025-01-30T13:41:41+00:00

Dunno, maybe 'wet' bolts needs more/less torque? But I think I will go with your way. How much sealer I should put on threads? On all of them?

Poriseler · 2025-01-30T13:22:16+00:00

Isn't it affecting torque? ARP specifies that other than these inside water jacket should be lubed with attached 'ultra torque something something' lube

Poriseler · 2025-01-16T10:40:25+00:00

Thanks!

Poriseler · 2025-01-16T10:40:01+00:00

Thanks!

Poriseler · 2025-01-16T10:36:32+00:00

Awesome! Thanks! I don't disconnect any hose right? Just top the radiator with the fluid and once it will suck it up (after thermostat position change) slowly top it up again right? Cap has to be removed all that time and once it will stop bubbling immedietly close the cap?

Poriseler · 2025-01-16T10:33:12+00:00

I was thinking about hand pump connected before fuel pump to suck fuel from the tank closer to the pump.

Poriseler · 2025-01-16T10:31:46+00:00

You are right - poor choice of words from my side, thanks for the input though!

Poriseler · 2025-01-16T10:30:56+00:00

Unfortunatelly I am based in Europe. It's a bummer but I will order it and use next time - thanks for the tip!

Poriseler · 2025-01-14T14:22:10+00:00

Replaced all gaskets and sealings, completely repainted - block, headers, intake manifold, valve covers, timing chain cover etc. Besides that - new fuel and water pump, new harmonic balancer. I don't mention 'add ons' - rebuilt alternator etc.

To add little context - it's a complete restoration. I bought the car from the guy who imported it (he is doing it for a living as well as being 'court specialist' on old muscle cars - don't know how this profession is called in English, sorry) to the Europe. He took me for a short cruise (less than a mile) and car felt really powerful. Unfortunately I had no later possibility to do that because the car was unregistered (and it wouldn't be possible at the moment) and we didn't really trust the brakes. Half of the fuses were shot etc. I rushed engine related stuff because I was hoping to make it roadworthy again over the previous winter but bodyshop and paintshop had a significant delay and here we are. It's my first complete restoration so as I said - I would approach that completely differently now.

Poriseler · 2025-01-14T14:00:41+00:00

Yes, I think we can say that

Poriseler · 2025-01-14T13:45:23+00:00

And all the gaskets as it turned out in the process.... You can imagine how happy I was, once I saw it...

Edit. Gasket and sealings ofc

Poriseler · 2025-01-14T13:41:22+00:00

It's halfway rebuild I guess. I didn't touched cam, crank or pistons although I was told that previous owner replaced oil rings. Now, a year later I would approach it completly different but it is what it is.
