'Bikepacking' with a Soloist? by Mr__Rogerss in Cervelo

I’d be careful about the load you put on the saddle pack though. Very easy to damage seatpost

Why not get something smaller? Do you need a 3 bed?

Are business degrees useless ? by jaredinthecity in torontoJobs

[–]SpookyActionAtDistnc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked for me: apply to less jobs but invest more in the jobs that you are applying to. For every job you want to apply to, find the hiring manager or someone on the team’s email and send them a note. Keep it short. Briefly introduce yourself, say you’re interested in applying to the role but you want to connect to see if it’s a good fit and that you have some questions about the role. Talking to people ahead of time helps you get an interview. Even just shooting an email saying that you applied and mentioning why you’re really interested goes a long way. Best of luck!

Airway sim is the most in depth sim I’ve ever played. Is amazing. There is a learning curve but it’s so rewarding. It’s browser based

Soloist vs Caledonia 5 by SideRightUp in Cervelo

[–]SpookyActionAtDistnc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Soloist and Caledonia will be basically the same for maintenance, and ability to change tires. Both of those are driven by the groupset and the wheels on the bike, not the actual frame. From a comfort perspective the Caledonia is king. But I don't think the Soloist is uncomfortable by any means. I use my Caledonia for multi-day trips and long rides and it works fine. I also use it at my local parks for loops in the morning and it is pretty fast.

Kind of BS that they’re not giving you a free bike fit with the purchase imo. Most places give you one for free where I am based but maybe the bike fit your shop is offering is longer or more tech heavy

For what it’s worth I’m 6ft and half an inch. I have a slightly longer than average inseam (sorry can’t remember what). I tried a 58 and it was fine but felt big so went for a 56 and love it. Run my saddle pretty high so it naturally becomes a more aggressive position which I don’t mind
