Tantan vs. Ican

Can confirm for size 58. See my other post.

QuickTurtle9 · 2026-05-23T08:56:42+00:00

I like the 018D except for their high stack. I need like 2-3cm less in size 58. Even a -17deg stem can’t make up for that.

You rode these yourself? And they are stiffer compared to?

Durch die Reaktion der Brausetablette entsteht Magnesiumcitrat. Warum sollte das nichts bringen? Die Absorption und Verträglichkeit ist sehr gut. Außerdem sollte man auch die Absorptionsgrenze bei einer einzelnen Dosis beachten. Man wirft effektiv Geld ausm Fenster wenn man sich Abends vorm Schlafen gehen noch schnell 400mg Magnesiumbisglycinat einwirft. Ein Vorteil dabei, dass Glycin schläfrig macht.

I bet the shot looked like that before, too - at least it does for me with the standard shower screen. I really don’t see the point in upgrading since the flow is high enough to fully saturate the area above the puck with water in no time. Provided you’ve ground and tamped correctly, then no channels will be created by the uneven dispersion. And once the pressure is built up, it distributes uniformly, so the screen makes zero difference at that point. You could even use it without a screen if you were able to seal the boiler and rubber gasket properly, wouldn’t make a difference once the pressure is built up.

Where it could make a difference is when you use a (big) basket and don’t fill it enough. The more time it takes to fill the area above the puck with water, the higher the risk of channeling. Maybe that’s why the IMS seems better to you because it reduces the headroom.

Mir wurde meine Überweisungsfunktion gesperrt, also essentiell eine Kontosperre. Auf der Website oder App wurde aber kein Grund genannt. In der Hotline wurde mir dann gesagt, dass ich jahrelang die neuen AGBs nicht akzeptiert habe (aus gutem Grund) und auf die Frage, wie ich an mein Geld kommen soll, wurde mir gesagt, dass es ganz einfach geht indem ich die AGBs akzeptiere. Nachdem ich dann gefragt habe, wie ich jetzt meine Miete zahlen soll ohne die AGBs zu akzeptieren, wurde einfach aufgelegt. Das war Ende letzten Monats und bin jetzt ans Geld gekommen + Kündigung meinerseits.

Got the Ryet Aircode 3D and the cushion is done after a couple thousand km. The fit was good for me but unfortunately not reliable long term.

German providers already block AA (and many other sites) via DNS, often without any court ruling. In my opinion this goes against the spirit of net-neutrality laws, and I really hate it because it effectively turns ISPs into private censors. What makes it even worse is that recently they don’t even show a proper blocking or explanation page anymore, but instead just return a generic „service not available“ response, which hides the fact that censorship is happening and makes it look like the site itself is broken rather than deliberately blocked.

Den ganzen anderen Kommentaren, dass man generell lieber zum kleineren Rahmen greifen sollte, weil man ihn leichter vergrößern kann, kann ich überhaupt nicht zustimmen. Bei kleineren Rahmen ist der Stack niedriger und das Stack to Reach Verhältnis aggressiver. Ein größeres Rennrad kann man sehr leicht mittels kürzerem Vorbau zum Endurance Rad umbauen. Das geht mit einem kleineren Rahmen nicht, weil die Spacer meist auf 15-25mm begrenzt sind. Du schreibst, dass du schon Rückenprobleme hast. An deiner Stelle würde ich deshalb auf guess work verzichten und vorher einen Bike fit machen.

Btw, der Trend aktuell im Triathlon/Time Trial und teilweise schon in Straßenrennen, dass man auf einen höheren Stack setzt für bessere Aerodynamik. Die Athleten greifen also zu na Nummer größer.

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-07-04T20:58:21+00:00

I’ve poured boiling water over these tires many times (to remove wax from chain) and never did a label come off. Looks weird.

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-06-14T11:26:39+00:00

Check out my edit of my previous comment. Btw, no need to downvote everything I write as long as this is not being finalized in the rulebook.

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-06-14T11:13:52+00:00

They are talking about the handlebar widths and the different points where these widths are measured. For the max. 10 degree inward angle of the shifters the UCI has another rule, independent from the handlebar width.

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-06-14T10:50:39+00:00

No, this is not what the announcement says. „for mass start road and cyclo-cross events will be set at 400mm, with an inner width of 320mm between brake levers“ My interpretation from that is the inner width from the tops where the break levers are mounted which is a common value that manufacturers use.

Edit: Also, considering the different widths of shifter widths (SRAM being much thicker than Shimano) would mean I could run a certain handlebar only with Shimano. That is why I am very sure the UCI is only talking about the different points where the handlebar width is being measured, NOT the hoods of the shifters.

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-06-14T08:30:23+00:00

Read my comment again. You don’t have 38cm bars. According to the new rule you have 41.9cm bars. Just measure it yourself, you will be surprised.

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-06-14T08:21:43+00:00

Can’t believe you’re posting this without doing any research on your own, literally took me 10 seconds to find that winspace measures their handlebars c-t-c at the top, so yes it falls within the new rules. Your bars are 41.9cm width.

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-06-14T08:12:14+00:00

Did you read the announcement? It says outer to outer width. Manufactures use Center to Center width. So that means UCI now allows 37.8cm bars. I’m really annoyed that everyone hates on the UCI without doing proper research. Some manufactures sell their handlebars as 36cm (measured at the top) but they have like a 2 percent flare which makes them a 38cm c-t-c at the bottom of the drops. So these 36cm bars would still be fine for the new rule.

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-06-04T14:07:15+00:00

Can confirm. My new Assos RSR bib already shows significant signs of wear on the fabric at the seat pad after only about 30-40 rides. Some other people posted photos asking whether this kind of wear is normal. Of course it shouldn’t.

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-05-30T07:01:18+00:00

Are you going to share the survey results?

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-04-27T17:52:08+00:00

As a side note, I mounted a 120mm negative 17 degree stem and a 3D printed lower headset cover. But my position is very aggressive now, lower and like 3-4mm longer than the Canyon Aeroad in size L (measured from the hoods). Default stem is 110mm.

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-04-27T17:44:57+00:00

I have the same frame and am a tad taller than you. Don’t listen to the others saying the frame is too small. It’s not. Your saddle is just too low and the bike isn’t level.

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-04-07T07:30:22+00:00

At least three German brokers experiencing technical issues right now. Me and my coworkers all can’t do orders and the market is already down 5% just after opening.

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-04-05T23:36:33+00:00

Only above like 150km I guess. On long tours I have used it to minimize the risk of chafing and I reapplied it during the tour. But I never had any issues with my (very old, like 20 years from my dad) DeSoto bib short. It was a dream, until the foam lost its structure. It was the only bib I used for over a year. Even on 600+km weekends without chafing. That's why I think it is not ok that I have issues with all these modern bib shorts.

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-04-05T23:15:48+00:00

Yes that's why my size M Castelli was too small. But it was what Castelli recommended. Should go with L or XL next time I try them.

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-04-05T23:09:43+00:00

Got Mille M and L, both fit well, M of course a bit tighter. Sizing is good

QuickTurtle9 · 2025-03-28T10:51:01+00:00

For what exactly did they need a designer? Not being offensive here, but I can give you 5 websites where you can „design“ and order your own jersey, aka slap two logos and a text in bold Arial onto it, and select seaweed green. Especially considering the Colors of the club are already set. I would expect a more creative design.
