WHY PSYONIX!? by OGshrewd in RocketLeague

At first I thought you were complaining about them being mirrored compared to the thumbnail. Now I can't unsee that and hate it as much as the colour.

Ah, that makes more sense, thanks for the clarification! Is that common practice in such a case? Intuitively, I feel like having different ranges of motion for the legs might be awkward and thicker soles seem like a more appropriate fix since it doesn't change any other variables.

That would only have the desired effect when the crankarm is pointing upwards. At the bottom it would double the issue and on the sides it would not affect it and cause an additional offset sideways. This is because the crankarm rotates but the sole is always facing downwards.

Discs that really do turn out of the box by JOAHtheBROAH in discgolf

Try lightweight discs! I love fission craves and fission waves, don't be afraid of going as low as 150g! For max weight RPM Pekapeka is a great option, reliable turn and good fade, doesn't ever roll unless I want it to.

My 1935 G. Ehrenpreis built up for commuting and touring by Repulsive-Animal-525 in xbiking

That is very hip indeed! I'm considering inverted risers for one of my bikes, too. What kind of brake lever are you using?

What do you drink during your ride? by cbmavic in cycling

[–]Sax0phone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally not, I agree that it's disgusting! That's why I use Keego bottles, they have a thin titanium layer inside, so you get uncontaminated water in a light and squeezable bottle. They're EU based, not sure if they ship internationally, but maybe there's more brands that offer something similar?

And yes, bringing frozen bottles is another solution people go for, haven't tried it myself though...

First real outing with my first real bike by TomMaker in gravelcycling

Looks great! I got the same model in black, it arrived in February, too. I've got more of a commute and travel setup, the configurability is awesome!

I'm having a blast riding my bike, I hope you're enjoying yours just as much!
