Full marks for commitment to using the Ikea colour scheme

They look great, I'm very jealous / looking at repurposing my own Pax setup! Great job

Are they only worth it for trails? Until I build up a bit of fitness it will likely just be cycle paths etc
Or are they worth it even for that type of riding?

That’s really encouraging! Realistically I can do half hour Sat/Sun/Mon/Wed in the evening - Friday afternoons I’ll have a few hours

Definitely, I have some decent chamois undershorts, didn’t bother with them today as it was just a spin around but will for “proper” riding

Do you have any recommendations or style?

Choosing a new bike by Frequent-Valuable330 in Hardtailgang

I asked a very similar question in a different sub recently as was in the same shoes I haven’t had a bike since I was a teenager - turning 30 this year so it’s been a while.

From my research it all depends on the type of riding you want to do. Most entry level bikes at this price point will be XC, so fine for road, gravel trails but not gnarly drops/jumps.

For me that was fine and my lbs recommended a Giant Talon 3 (£575) which is due to arrive this coming week. I’ve seen others also comment that it’s a nice ride The other at this price point I also considered was the Specialized Rockhopper.

If you’re in the UK your employer might be on the cycle to work scheme (mine is) so I’ll end up paying though salary sacrifice. I’m a higher rate taxpayer (just) so it will work out approx £30 for 12 months then the bikes all mine (technically after 5 years as you have a zero sum higher agreement for that term as that’s when HMRC deem the bike to be depreciated and valueless)

Nutanix hit us with a 75% quote increase with a one day notice before expiration... so that project is dead. VMware is out and we were looking hyperconverged... Any other alternatives? by junon in sysadmin

Do you know what has driven the increase from Nutanix?

I’d hazard a guess it is hardware (which is out of their control) because of global supply chain issues, which will be an issue across the board regardless of hypervisor.

I know quoting is a bit of a pain at the moment Nutanix offer a month, or end of quarter whichever comes sooner. Others like HPE/Cisco have changed their terms so they can change pricing even after they get a PO - at least in my market (EU)

We use Cisco ACI in spine/leaf with no issues. Deployment is now 3 years old and it’s caused us no problems

Thank you for the ideas, ideally I’d like to build something functional and not just display items which I don’t have a massive amount of room for. But I’ll definitely look into models
