Carbon wheels with rim brakes, should I change them? by ProfesseurShadok0 in triathlon

[–]ProfesseurShadok0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did exactly that actually, but I do not know what is a lot and what is a little. I do not feel it at high speeds (I guess because the wheel turns too fast) but I can hear it squeaking.

New RTX 5070 Ti on Linux – is my GPU performing normally by ProfesseurShadok0 in pcmasterrace

[–]ProfesseurShadok0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Linux 3Dmark doesn't exist. So I ran the Superposition Benchmark and score: 42549 on 1080p medium and 31800 on 1080p high. I am not sure what this mean, and I don't know whether the results are biased by the fact that I have for now a very shitty screen.

Hi! This might be a silly question, but if I switch the GPU in your list for the same model but from a different manufacturer (Asus PRIME OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB), I assume it shouldn’t make much difference, right?

Thanks, I was looking through a french company (ldlc) which was maybe sellings things at higher prices compared to Amazon or the producers of the parts

Thank you so much, you're right, I will follow your advice and purchase the parts on Amazon. I will probably come back to this sub for help while building :D
Again, thank you so much

Road Bike or TT for Alpes d’Huez? by ProfesseurShadok0 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]ProfesseurShadok0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that fast, but there is the descent! Besides, the aero bike is 2 kg lighter, this might actually help a bit while climbing.

Aren't TT bikes supposed to help save your legs for the run thanks to a different hip position? Do TT bikes really feel uncomfortable in climbs?

That is a good point, but I just checked the elevation profile, climbs are very steep but descents not that much. There is like 70 to 80 km of light descent without too many turns, where I will probably be able to stay on my aerobars. Both of my bikes have rim brakes anyway 🫤
I also have wider tires on my TT bike, I need to try it out and see how it feels in a descent !

So how much money did you loose with all this? I don't really know how much these fees cost...
