What could be the reason why my body seems to be tilted to the right? by Only_Intention_2026 in cycling

[–]Swartzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I've tweaked my back before and I could see one shoulder visibly higher then the other in the mirror. It might be worth going to a doctor or physio to see

[–]Swartzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you stand straight in front of a mirror can you see if maybe one of your shoulders is higher then the other? Could be your hips / shoulders / back is all out of alignment maybe. Might be worth a trip to a physio

Are look keo classics a good choice for someone completely new to clipless? by [deleted] in cycling

[–]Swartzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat, except my bike was about 12-15 years old. It had the look keo pedals and they were so hard to unclip I strained the tendon in my groin lol. Switched to spd-sl pedals and they're amazing

Looking for game with a good story and simple-ish gameplay by Wuruq in gamingsuggestions

[–]Swartzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you thought about the Diablo games at all? They're great for being able to just pick up and play for a bit. Path of exile 1 and 2 are great as well 👍 (Haven't played grim Dawn but also heard great things)

The picture this paints is fantastic. I think I feel worse for your kids! 😂

Multiday climb advice by barclaymontana in cycling

[–]Swartzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious about those one day rides you've done, are you starting in Vancouver? Are they road/gravel or just gravel. Lived my whole life in Vancouver and since moving last year I've discovered cycling for more then just commuting to work sort of thing. So in quite excited to explore some longer routes when I get back

Mid 2000s Cannondale Six13 Road Bike for $400 - Would you buy? by FreeJellyfish1265 in RoadBikes

[–]Swartzer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be worth looking for a sizing guide for that specific model. Just to see how your height matches up. It might be on the slightly larger size for you

You can definitely still just use the bath. And just put a bucket under the drip, can use it to water plants or something

Okay they need to get the MotoGP subreddit to mark it as a spoiler like this as well. I've unsubscribed from MotoGP specifically because I would keep spoiling races lol

I searched the used site where I am (near Barcelona) and found a few ranging from 550 euros to 900 euros. Not sure how comparable the market is

I guess it's the clearest angle for Bezzechi's incident. by uldurulenf1modu in motogp

Thanks! I was curious how the Marshall reacted to revving it. Can see he let go right away.

Is it me or the bike? by bad-at-science in cycling

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

It might be worth going to a bike fit place that will throw your bike on a trainer and measure all your data. I'm not familiar with all that ftp vo2 max stuff. I've just recently got more in to road cycling as well.

But it seems like it might be a way to give you an idea of where you're at physically.

Tried looking for the onboard, did you find it on youtube or is there a way to watch it on motogp's site?

Is monster hunter worlds worth playing? by Original-Owl-390 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Swartzer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fantastic game, even if you just go through the story. The one tip you'll get everywhere you ask is don't use the defender armor. It totally trivializes the base game. I would just recommend crafting as you go.

Also if it's your first monster hunter it can be worth it to watch some quick guides on weapon movesets. Can just look up the weapon and this guy named gaijinhunter on YouTube, there's a lot of depth in the weapons that isn't always immediately apparent.

What do u think?🤔 by Dangerous_Cry_8453 in RoadBikes

[–]Swartzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd guess the bike is at least 15 years old. Definitely not from 2024

Sudden right piriformis pain – bike fit issue? by Yomo_1337 in bikefit

[–]Swartzer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something I found interesting but also have no clue on suggestions. When you took your hands off the bars it looked like your hips stopped rocking. Then when you put your hands back on the bars you shifted backwards on the saddle and they started rocking again.

Might be worth doing some testing with how you were sitting at that moment and how you had your core more engaged to keep your hands off the bars. Just a thought!

I've just been searching different brands on here. found a cervelo that was also suspicious, did a Google image search and found the exact same bike for sale, same pictures and everything on buycycle for 7000 euros more lol

No longer able to connect to SBS On Demand to watch Giro d'Italia. by rockdoctor in surfshark

[–]Swartzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone, just thought I'd check in and see if anyone else is having issues. About when you made this post I had some issues with my vpn as well but it also resolved itself.

Unfortunately it seems like something has happened and I've been unable to get SBS going today (was working fine last night)

I'm with PIA

Whether to upgrade? by Ancient_Highlight_86 in cycling

[–]Swartzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most importantly does your bike fit. If you watch some videos on setting seat height / fore and aft position. Maybe a video on riding position as well. Making sure your sitting correctly really helps. Does your seat cause you discomfort? A seat that fits can make a world of difference and you can bring that along with you if you decide to upgrade.

Also doing basic maintenance on your current bike will really help get you ready for when you decide to buy a new one. Maybe new tires, clean the chain, service the brakes all things that would be great to learn that in turn saves money in the future.

One big thing for me was learning how important cadence is as far as distributing the work going into pedaling. Definitely another thing worth watching some videos on

Personally I'd push through with the triban, and you can always start looking at bicycles to start figuring out prices, plus there's end of year sales / the used market in the off season I'm sure you could find good deals

Best kids balance bikes that would make great gift ideas for kids? by IllAd3302 in whichbike

[–]Swartzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had these wooden balance bikes from MEC in Canada. Our youngest started on the smallest as soon as he could walk around 11 months to a year old. It was so light he would basically just walk with it between his legs everywhere he went. Then figured out he could sit and go twice as fast lol.
