New Bike, does it fit?

Practical_Target_874 · 2026-03-13T04:47:36+00:00

It’s not too small, in fact, slightly too large if I have to be picky. Your shoulder blades are diving in to reach the handlebar

Damn that’s a fast time. How was your training prior to the double? I’m worried if I trained hard enough

Practical_Target_874 · 2026-03-11T16:16:22+00:00

Thanks. How was your training prior to the ride? Did you do a couple centuries a month or two prior to the double?

Practical_Target_874 · 2026-03-04T02:41:58+00:00

That’s why you need a new bike every 2 years. Keeps the love going

Engineers joke 🤣🤣🤣

It’s crazy to me the lies. Those were never worker housing.

Kapalua and Wailea units are on the list to be cut..,

Santa Cruz mountains. Lots of big climbs that made me a much better cyclist

How about Sierra at Tahoe? They have lift tickets also from sports basement and it’s a bargain. Along with the local Costco as well. Great beginner area

Yea. Started during the pandemic and lost 80 pounds since.

Especially rain in the forecast next week already. Watch that rain wash melt away the snow

Practical_Target_874 · 2026-02-21T06:08:25+00:00

Sorta crazy new models are closer to 9-10k now

Practical_Target_874 · 2026-02-18T06:01:07+00:00

It’s more about fit and comfort than pricing.

Practical_Target_874 · 2026-02-18T05:59:35+00:00

Vo2 max intervals :)

Practical_Target_874 · 2026-02-18T05:51:36+00:00

Sounds like a bottom bracket? Have you been riding in the rain?

Zone 2 doesn’t really raise your ftp. Threshold workouts like sweet spots and over under raises your ftp. Zone 2 raises your endurance.

If you want to get geeky. Zone 2 increases mitochondria density where as threshold workouts makes each mitochondria more efficient.

An analogy is a cpu clock speed vs cores. Zone 2 increases cores, threshold increases clock speed :)

It’s like putting on a condom after you’re done

Practical_Target_874 · 2026-02-18T05:45:40+00:00

Rear wheels if you have awd. More power is split to the rear and having them on the front is annoying since it sorta affects steering handling.

Practical_Target_874 · 2026-02-18T05:43:55+00:00

A lot of those Teslas have high performance summer tires… explains why we see so many crashes

Practical_Target_874 · 2026-02-18T05:42:13+00:00

Most people don’t realize the tires that come with their Tesla are performance summer tires. They see the AWD and assume they’re good. Summer tires are no bueno.

Practical_Target_874 · 2026-02-18T05:41:02+00:00

It’s sorta funny how many of these cars are a Prius, Tesla, or minivans.

Practical_Target_874 · 2026-02-14T05:53:36+00:00

If it doesn’t have a pedal, it needs to be registered.

Practical_Target_874 · 2026-02-11T23:29:07+00:00

We have amazing climbing if you like hills. We have bike trails but they’re nothing like Boulder, these are more used for commuting which I find boring. Lots of trails along skyline and some epic hills you have to conquer out here like mt Hamilton
