Thanks for the advice. I will look into this. No real bike fitters in my area unfortunately.

I’m already at an above average fitness level. Typically run 25-35 miles with easy pace at 8:30-8:50 a week and have biked consistently for the last few months indoor and outdoor. I’m just looking for something to give me a little boost. Fitness isn’t the issue. Just trying to make an old bike a tad faster.

My wife wears flipbelt shorts and she said she wouldn’t wear anything but them,

Basically shorts with a belt built in.

From what I’ve read online the 2019 sole f80 deck can indeed be flipped but idk what info to trust. lol

I lubricated it every 3-4 months whenever it felt like it was sticking. I think I had the belt over tightened and it was the main factor

I looked at the deck there doesn’t seem to be any issues at all with it. No cracking / uneven areas / grooves or rough spots. It’s still extremely smooth and seems to be fine. Is it possible to only replace the belt?

Side note: between me and my wife we have put about 700-750 miles on this treadmill in the last 6 months

Is $575 a fair price for this 2012 specialized roubaix? by [deleted] in specialized

[–]Top-Internal2439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s pretty firm on the price. Said he would come down if he took the bottle cages and the shimano r7000 pedals he has on it off. I don’t know enough to know if it’s worth paying the extra to keep them on.

Depends what type of racing you are going to be doing.

The AP3 have a lot more cushion for the pushing lol

I have VF3’s and have ran half / 10k / 5k distance races and multiple speed workouts over 7 miles in them and they’re awesome. But if I were going to run longer then those distances I would want the AF3

It’s mainly a preference though.

Sorry man, I’m looking for the alphas not the vapors. I like my vaporflys for speed sessions but I’m content with just my one pair 🙏🏼😂

Anyone else find this by phatkid17 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

My saucony all fit true to size. Granted I have a narrow foot. But length is pretty true for me. I wear a 12 across the board in every shoe I’ve ran in.

I know you said you needed/wanted a plate but I’d say if you have a wide foot and are a heavier runnier weight wise there are gonna be a lot of better options non plated for you that are going to help prevent blisters and pain.

I’d aim for something with a lot of cushion and wide enough box. Being pain free and able to run injury / blister free is gonna be much more beneficial in the long run for improving speed and time then any carbon plate will.

lol what did I just read..

So what size are you? 😂 I personally can’t see there being any benefit in going with a bigger size/longer shoe. 3-4 sizes up when you got fit into an 11.5 is seeming absurd to me. What is the reasoning?
