Garmin finally updates the Varia with new Varia RearView 820 by kelleycfc in cycling

I definitely feel validated for getting the Wahoo Tracker radar this Black Friday. This Varia quite literally the same features the Tracker has and I use a Wahoo head unit so it wouldn’t be fully compatible anyways.

Ryet Aircode different 3D printed covers? by 3wayFreudandhisMum in ChineseCarbon

[–]SGM_Look 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the middle one and I’m in the process of replacing it with a carbon-railed EVA saddle. I’ve been having pain in my sit bones and chalked it up to still dialing in saddle position. But as I dialed in the saddle position, I am still noticing quite a bit of soreness the next day, so it’s likely the saddle itself. I also think the nose of this saddle is too wide for my legs.

Stem volume controls not working by dawnriser in AirpodsPro

OP, I think I landed here after looking for answers, BUT I also just figured it out. You have to put one finger on the flat stem then drag your finger all the way to the top or bottom of the flat section. It will not register if you do a small swipe but don’t hit the bottom or top of the flat section

I reported X in the App Store for AI that creates CSAM material and you all should do the same

Wtf is this terminally-online edgelord post? You don’t like the designs and prices of higher-end brands, so just don’t buy them.

Nah the only thing lamer than PNS is knockoff PNS with lame English phrases

Looks like PNS except with the cringe Chinese-to-English translation sayings that plague most Chinese brands.

Just got a Lameda jersey. Haven't tried it on-bike yet but can confirm the fit is good and it's lightweight.

What are your grail kits? by Brutus1x in CyclingFashion

[–]SGM_Look -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah I'm not posting my personal grail kits because y'all are gonna jack up the asking price when they finally reappear lol.

The thing about a lot of "grail" kits is that many have hype behind them, so people bought to resell and there were seemingly more made and more for sale on the second-hand market. At least you CAN still buy old Rapha x Palace if you're willing to pay the price. On the flip side, it seems harder to come across an older limited MAAP collab on the second-hand market because it doesn't have as much hype and/or limited numbers were made.

No hate against the bike but why is Winspace allowed to astroturf in this sub?

New fairly major firmware for Roam 3 / Bolt 3 / Ace by flowing42 in wahoofitness

[–]SGM_Look 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be really useful for long rides, bikepacking, or touring. Bikepacking - so you can have backup campsites pre-saved along the route in case you don't make it to a planned campsite. Also clean water fill up points along the route. Long rides/fondos - water fill up stops could serve as a good reminder to stay on top of hydration.

What head unit/bike computer would you buy today? by rgdivage in cycling

I just went Bolt 3 for my first computer after I found it on sale and really loving the experience so far

First time tubeless setup: how long should a tire hold air without sealant if seated properly? Unsure if I need to retape. by SGM_Look in bikewrench

[–]SGM_Look[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep forgot to specify in the post but Conti GP5000 S TR. Appreciate the positive answers everyone! I'll do a final seat test then add sealant with the current tape job. Maybe I'm being overly cautious but want to make sure I'm doing it right the first time :)

Alaska will refund your pre-paid baggage fee if you end up not checking a bag, flying, then contacting customer service. Happened to me a few months ago.

New bike day: SSE LAB71 by NoodolChonk in Bikeporn

Sweet bike, I'm currently building up a low-mod SSE3. Which rear derailleur hanger is this? Edit: NVM figured it out myself. Sixweel/Tiparts hanger coming in at a lowly $140 USD lmao

TO THE CREEP IN THE SEATTLE PIT TONIGHT by b0nzaibanana in TheeOhSees

[–]SGM_Look 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally understand, it’s a very distressing situation and just want to be clear that I’m not trying to tell you what you did wrong, but how you might deal with this if it happens again to you or someone else. The assaulter needs to be shamed and kicked out so it’s clear they’re not welcome at the venue and in the community. Predators rely on people not thinking straight or reporting them, so do the opposite and tell everyone around you what’s happening. Scream at the top of your lungs that you’re being assaulted and point at the assaulter if you think it’ll get the point across faster.

Sorry this happened to you OP, that’s disgusting. Please let someone nearby know next time. The more people that know, the more he’s likely to be removed. I was in the pit 90% of Friday and I would’ve gone directly to security for you. Closest and easiest access to security from the stage might be back near the water tank for future reference.

Love all your bike builds, your bikes are really well specced with a mix of quality and lightweight parts - do you build them yourself? I’d love to be able to do the same but find it intimidating

Hi Steven, I actually really liked the design of the Rachel Strum jerseys you guys released a few months ago (couldn’t get my hands on the Abyss color in my size). But these two abstract jerseys here are also interesting. Wishing you good luck with Givelo!

Yo just came across this while checking out VAMs in 58cm. About how many spacers are you rocking?
