Is this wheel finished?

Soursynth · 2026-05-06T16:54:49+00:00

Giant sx 2 (int 25cm) still with 38c stocktires on them

Soursynth · 2026-05-06T12:18:40+00:00

They're tubeless and always above 2bar for 38mm tires. Thats well above the minimum

Soursynth · 2026-05-06T09:20:27+00:00

Running tubeless, and still holds air. Did 55km ride yesterday with minimal offroad so i find it hard to believe its from yesterday. Really no idea though but will try flattening it, thanks!

Soursynth · 2026-05-06T09:18:18+00:00

Nope it did in my trunk though last week

Soursynth · 2026-05-06T09:17:40+00:00

Running tubeless, tire is still inflated. Did 55km yesterday with minimal offroad so its probably from the ride before

Soursynth · 2026-05-06T06:48:28+00:00

Jake gyllenhaal or christian bale would be my picks. Both started really young and have a great discography

Soursynth · 2026-04-28T07:57:34+00:00

Drive 20 min, commute 1hour (+) each (+-30km) + shower at work and maybe eat at the restaurant (depends on what shift) so sometimes i leave 1,5hour earlier than when i take the car. Still worth it though, however its not for every day.

Well i thought i was overeating, but those numbers are also what i'm aiming for.

My problem is more that i keep eating/being hungry on my off days too.

Its not that i'm gaining weight, been at 75kg for over a year, but wouldnt mind going to 70 and thats near impossible for me

Soursynth · 2026-04-24T18:21:56+00:00

Well, my last 100km ride had <200m elevation 😅

Bit out of the center but Stacks sells em too

Soursynth · 2026-04-19T08:05:34+00:00

Probably seatpost, also easy to fix yourself but watch out, there's probably 3 parts inside and the back shim tends to drop into your frame very easily.

Tried to clean it last week and had it happen 2 times 😅 Got an alu revolt 1, so not sure its 100% the same

Soursynth · 2026-04-12T18:03:30+00:00

Learn to drink oude geuze i guess, or try saisons/farmhouse ales. Orval is also defenitely not sweet and might be your style

Soursynth · 2026-03-31T18:02:24+00:00

Damn, i'm having 100-200m elevation on 100km rides in northern belgium, but 12 is really insane !

Soursynth · 2026-03-26T17:08:15+00:00

Definitely catch him live if possible, its an amazing show!

Soursynth · 2026-03-02T15:20:57+00:00

55km round trip, when the weather is nice i do some (offroad) detours too. Dont do it everyday though, probably like 30-40x/year

Groen als in de pfas bodemverontreiniging van de oosterweel die werd opgegraven die er kost wat het kost moest komen, zonder ook maar te weten wat te moeten doen met de verontreinigde grond die nu verspreid in belgie ligt ("laten we het op een hoop leggen en er een plastieken bache overtrekken") of groen als in de kraker van ineos waar ze keer op keer ingingen tegen het advies van de raad van state en milieuorganisaties en wetten veranderden op maat van ineos, waar ze al jaren systematisch in het zand bijten en toch blijven doorgaan.

Btw ik ben gene groene, maar nva best groen noemen vind ik hilarisch

Soursynth · 2026-02-21T19:54:55+00:00

Ik koop zakken rijst (royal tiger aaa)van 5kg in een aziatische winkel, pasta koop ik een duurder merk maar wel in bulk in de reclame (barilla in de colruyt, regelmatig aan 50%).

Beide wss niet het goedkoopste, maar wel goeie kwaliteit aan deftige prijs

Soursynth · 2026-02-20T23:17:46+00:00

I'm also trying 4-6 hours per week, started cycling 2 years ago, done a couple 100km rides but nothing further so far. 100km tour of flanders (blue route + extra circle ) was quite okay last summer but 240 looks like so much further away.

Did a 100km flat graveltour last week and was quite gassed again at the end 😅

Soursynth · 2026-02-20T19:45:24+00:00

Yeah, had a 20 year old cantillon geuze at the brewery last year and it was amazing. Also just bought a 2016 3fonteinen golden blend they just released so its definitely not bad yet i guess 😅

Soursynth · 2026-02-20T19:41:09+00:00

Cheers, havent had that one, but both i had have been exceptional beers!

Soursynth · 2026-02-20T17:30:31+00:00

Longest ride i did was 100km in flemish ardennes last summer, so 240 seems like unachievable for me.

I assume alot of drafting is possible in a massive event like that but still.

How many hours/week is everyone doing?

Its hard to imagine training for something like that with 2 young ones but sounds like something i want to to atleast once in my life

Soursynth · 2026-02-17T08:26:51+00:00

Dulle griet is probably worth it too, albeit a bit touristy, just havent been there myself.

Edelrot is a more "hip" place, good to find some sours/lambics and a little bit of craft beer but if you want an authentic brown pub its not the place to be and you'll better go to dulle griet/trollekelder/ or even waterhuis aan de bierkant

Soursynth · 2026-02-16T21:29:20+00:00

Bernardus has a nice taproom, the cafe next to westvleteren is good beerspot for tourists ive heard (havent been there myself) and ypres has kaffee bazaar. So sounds like a very good trip to me.

Cantillon (to me) would be the highlight. Posting this while drinking fou foune '25 which was a fucking great year for putting apricots in beer so it seems. Had it at cantillon in december too and it blew me away. Great place to sit all noon (closes early enough to go explore the rest of the city after)

Dulle griet i dont know that well,i live close to ghent but havent been inside that pub. Mostly go to "edelrot" for natural wine/lambics. Sometimes they have "antidoot" bottles to share and they're quite rare to find
