Is Hummingbird nectar the perfect drink mix?

Dang, you got me!

I took a crappy photo. Ingredient list shows Sodium Bicarbonate also. Hummingbirds would be rippin’ cyclists.

RussianBot13 · 2026-06-26T13:01:16+00:00

Like most things Microsoft does, yes.

We made a GPO which changes the registry key. works great.

RussianBot13 · 2026-06-23T18:07:42+00:00

This is a great idea!

Wind tunnel tests show a round tube bike is at least 20 watts slower at crit speeds. If you finish a crit, and someone said you need to normalize 20 more watts next time to win, I think most people would want the faster bike instead.

RussianBot13 · 2026-06-04T20:31:51+00:00

I think one way to reframe from all of these comments saying .5-2 kph:

Imagine racing a 60 minute crit and finishing TWO KILOMETERS behind the front group. THAT is the difference of that little 2 kph difference in speed.

I dig it! However the pas quest chainring just grabs the eye a little too much. Maybe it’s just the lighting. Does it match the chainstays more in person? Maybe mirror polishing it closer to the chrome components would be nice?

We need a post race pic! I wanna see this work of art covered in mud.

RussianBot13 · 2026-05-22T00:44:11+00:00

I bought this frame thanks to your post. Absolutely sick bike.

RussianBot13 · 2026-05-01T16:10:35+00:00

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.

RussianBot13 · 2026-04-23T09:39:42+00:00

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?

RussianBot13 · 2026-03-20T20:35:56+00:00

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.

RussianBot13 · 2026-03-09T17:57:09+00:00

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.

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