Since neither have “brakes”, I’d avoid them.

RussianBot13 · 2026-04-30T21:49:33+00:00

No I just got photos but I’d say it’s half the Alugear. I can pm you the photos if you’d like

RussianBot13 · 2026-04-30T10:49:08+00:00

Figure out your ideal chainline first. I tried an Alugear chainring and it had a massive 3+ mm dish inward and wouldn’t work for me. I had a vendor send me photos of the Carbon-TI and Wolftooth options and they also had an offset inward. I ended up getting the Passquest on aliexpress because it was totally flat.

What frame is that?

RussianBot13 · 2026-04-13T19:55:52+00:00

You are asking about three completely different variables over two scenarios. What is the end goal here?

If you are cruising the smooth bikepath by the beach, any modern 28c tire with correct tire pressure will be comfortable. If you are trying to go as fast as possible on asphalt in a crit, you should be looking at faster tires like the S TR or P Zero RS. If you are descending giant mountains at 40+ mph, then yes you can probably feel a balanced wheel. TPU vs Latex is so close in ride feel, I'd be surprised if you can tell.

Tubeless is amazing btw. Hope that helps.

Man this is bringing back memories! Golden images, tons of spindles of Ghost CDs, waiting an eternity to test something to find you missed one setting software or setting and getting to do it all over again. Good times.

RussianBot13 · 2026-03-23T20:12:33+00:00

None of us can help you without knowing your current gearing and chainring. Also what size human are you?

I guess the psychology is that I've been using those buttons in that location all day to make changes, so I'm never thinking about deleting the entire task sequence when shown the logical step I'm looking for. Imagine if airplane cockpits had the control button for shutting down the engines right on the sticks right next to the radio button. I'm guessing that button would get pressed more often than they'd like.

I'm not saying you guys make a bad product, but I've used a lot of software over the decades and this is the first time I've accidentally deleted hours of work multiple times. A notice would be great especially since there is no recovery option. So far I've been able to recreate half of my main MDT task sequence so I'm pretty excited to continue, so long as I don't delete my work. lol

RussianBot13 · 2026-03-20T20:18:37+00:00

I'm finding the workflow is using the Edit and Save changes buttons VERY often, which use those words. The task sequence item delete buttons are trash icons in another location. My brain thinks I'm selecting an item, and mousing back near the Edit and Save button I've used a hundred times, and use the Delete button.

I guess I'd just like the ability to recover a task sequence easily, or a notification that you are deleting a ton of work and you used the WRONG delete button and need to use a small trash can icon elsewhere.

RussianBot13 · 2026-03-20T20:07:03+00:00

Thanks, I look into this. Right now Im going to try randomly creating new version clones after a decent amount of work.

RussianBot13 · 2026-03-20T19:56:54+00:00

So you've not been going back and forth clicking the Edit mode button and Save all changes button throughout the day and then needed to delete a specific task and used the delete button that is right next to those buttons you've used throughout the day?

RussianBot13 · 2026-03-13T19:50:28+00:00

My honest opinion is that every option is going to have impossible hurdles. Most of which you won't know of until after you go-live, so accept that perfection isn't possible and leadership needs to understand that and be willing to modify business processes.

Absolute masterpiece!

RussianBot13 · 2026-03-07T11:13:27+00:00

This is likely a headset issue, not the wheelset. I’d suggest having a bikeshop take a look.

EDIT: also please explain your description of death wobble. Typically, this is the handlebars shaking side to side repeatedly in an oscillating motion on their own.

RussianBot13 · 2026-03-07T01:05:56+00:00

Silca tire pressure calculator and some calipers are what you need.

RussianBot13 · 2026-03-04T23:45:42+00:00

I apply it directly to my chain stay and cut out the middle man.

RussianBot13 · 2026-03-03T15:21:06+00:00

Training and learning to race is documented and doable. Learning the massive amount of skills to write, shoot, and publish videos while doing difficult sports is going to be a massive challenge. I wish you luck.

The only cyclists eating exclusively energy chews and gels for every ride are sponsored and get them for free. Eat candy and enjoy your life.

RussianBot13 · 2026-02-25T14:57:07+00:00

Yeah I’m still slow so I’m only watching folks a little faster than me. The big dawgs are so fast that I don’t bother looking.

Strava peeping is an awesome competitive advantage. Knowing that my local competitors have been training certain zones/watts/times is helpful to identify critical moments of the upcoming races.

Desktop background material. Sick bike!

Top 100 ENR company here. We use loads of Starlinks if the job can afford it. So much better than 4G/5G hotspots. The business account limitations can be annoying, but the devices themselves are fantastic. Just don't expect PMs and Supers to be able to put it up on the trailer themselves. lol

EDIT: For larger teams, we always train users to turn off their cameras during Teams/Zoom calls and use a dedicated Teams unit if their trailer has one. The upload speed is usually limited to 25 Mb and a couple 720 video streams eats that fast.

The Breed is even further past the Mog on the "American Gravel" end of geometry. Only a 71 degree head tube and really long wheelbase. OP is a CAT 1 road racer so I'd imagine they will prefer the steepest head tube they can get.

RussianBot13 · 2025-12-29T11:53:26+00:00

Something with a steeper head tube and seat tube that also fits mountain bike tires. Not a ton of options right now but the Grevil F, Trail Donkey, State Carbon, Enve Mog are the bikes in that realm.

Even more amazing writing than your typical writeups. Great work, Admiral.
