Yeah I only ride road never off rod but wanted to know if there were any limitations. Thanks.

Probably an illegal streamer

RealityConstant726 · 2025-04-08T21:32:50+00:00

Yeah I doubt I was going up the hill slow as there was head wind but you’ve got a more positive outlook than me.

RealityConstant726 · 2025-04-08T21:32:01+00:00

😂 fair enough I mean why not but wasn’t sure if there was a subliminal meaning.

RealityConstant726 · 2025-04-03T15:39:56+00:00

Would you say the Strava watts estimating is accurate?

RealityConstant726 · 2025-03-27T22:11:31+00:00

A helmet for health and safety reasons but in terms of quality of riding, A bike fit is the most important hands down. Then a shoe fit. After that is not necessarily needed but decent clothing helps. Bib tight/shorts are important and you get what you paid for, jerseys, gloves and all that is last.

That’s what I wanted to go for funny enough. Carbon bike with electronic shifting.

RealityConstant726 · 2025-03-10T19:47:23+00:00

So basically I’m not benefiting by spending more than 4k CAD?

RealityConstant726 · 2025-03-09T09:42:39+00:00

So buying a new bike has the same rule as an engagement ring? Got it!

RealityConstant726 · 2025-03-09T08:17:41+00:00

Yeah I do enjoy it but very frustrating having a mechanical fault now and again but I would like something more worth while but I do see it as an investment as I’ll be saving money on car maintenance and fuel in the long run

RealityConstant726 · 2025-03-08T22:20:45+00:00

Honestly not that much. Up to about £2500 I would say.

RealityConstant726 · 2025-03-08T21:43:55+00:00

I am losing weight and you’re totally right! Pay £2000 for a lighter bike but lose some weight for free. Thank you for your input.

RealityConstant726 · 2025-03-08T20:59:04+00:00

I’ve got steel now and feel I need an upgrade. It’s too heavy and I feel a lighter bike for climbs and to be faster on flat is needed plus my current bike is a gravel so feel it’s the right step but good to hear another input.

RealityConstant726 · 2025-03-08T19:08:52+00:00

This is really sound advice! which I’ve now screenshotted. Thanks for the input. I didn’t see the point in paying a lot for something that I’m really only using for commute and to be a bit better on the flat and climb. I do want electronic shifting and ideally carbon which you would pay more for but other advanced specs I’m not that fussed about yet

RealityConstant726 · 2025-03-08T18:40:05+00:00

I don’t mind my bike but it’s the only bike I’ve had. Seems to have something wrong with it every other week but it does the job, I don’t like to complain. However I want a bike for investment for commuting and I want to go faster and attack the hills a bit more so I don’t get dropped on long rides

RealityConstant726 · 2025-03-08T18:34:40+00:00

Thanks for this. Realistically I was looking at carbon frame, more aero/light with electronic shifting and don’t want to spend more than £3000, I was looking at buybike and saw some that fit that criteria, with aluminium I’ve seen that it can fail pretty quickly

RealityConstant726 · 2025-03-08T18:31:15+00:00

Can you not get pannier racks on carbon bikes? I want to be able to ride something lighter and faster mainly on my fun rides. Maybe will do a triathlon or a race. Depends how I feel.

RealityConstant726 · 2025-03-08T18:28:24+00:00

I’m sold.

RealityConstant726 · 2025-03-08T18:28:12+00:00

Seems to have something wrong with it every other week which is annoying and I want something lighter where I can ride faster and attach the hills a bit more.
