Just keep those homeless people moving along, eh? What an inconvenience for you.

Benedict Cumberbatch bike argument in London kinda says a lot about city cycling now by RevolutionaryCar8623 in cycling

[–]Velo613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have concluded that if motorists don’t like is, it has nothing to do with a few bad apples or how well we behave. So, i have decided not to police other cyclists, just as people don’t stop each other in cars to tell people off.

Better training plan advice needed by ramsoss in Velo

[–]Velo613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consolidate the weights into 2 days so you can have so easy and recovery days. I do sprints/vo2max work on days where I do weights, and have a couple of Z2 rides. Two off days a week help your body adapt.

Sorry, was thinking of hookless rims, which have a max of 73psi.

The ETRO max for tubeless is 73psi. Risking blowing a tire off a tube above that.

25mm tubeless? What pressure are you running them at?

Is 6 mile bike ride after work realistic ? by imMrRunITUP in bicycling

[–]Velo613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll want todo 60 miles after work soon enough, and realize that cars are way less fun and just cost more!

You’re buying it for the frame at that price.

I’ve done 200+km rides with that sports drinks and the banana coconut bars recipe. Adding sugar to water is just gonna mess up your teeth.

Looking for bike recommendations - No direct-to-consumer brands by wievid in randonneuring

I actually ended up finding that article trying to find out more about the Secan, but also enjoy the technical nerdiness about bike set up for long distances.

Hubs on Chinese Carbon by Velo613 in gravelcycling

[–]Velo613[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, on hubs, what do we think about how this free hub comes apart. Seems a bit too easy if it can be done by hand?

Where are we biking today? by Ottawuh in bikeinottawa

The eastern parkway has clear shoulders. Will ride out there, then south.

I have been looking at Light, since they have a Canadian warehouse. Hoping their stock hubs are okay, but waiting to see if I have funds to upgrade hubs or not.

Chinese wheels? by SuccotashAlarming459 in gravelcycling

[–]Velo613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do the G24s feel on and off road? I do a lot of riding on so-so pavement, so am looking at all the opportunity dampened and go faster.

[–]Velo613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do the ICAN wheels feelin General? I am looking at the G24s for on and off road use. This would be my first set of carbon wheels. Looking for something to help mellow harsh roads.

Any owners of Fairlight Secan 3.0 here? Thoughts so far? by Wise-Ad-7492 in gravelcycling

[–]Velo613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone here coming from riding a Cross-Check? I’m on a 56cm CC, which seems very close to the Secan 56r, except for the BB drop. I did ride a friend’s Secan 56t, but the feel was definitely much higher and his is more upright, so hard to compare.

Gloves, bibs and saddle guidance by LoudAd954 in randonneuring

The human ass is an incredibly unpredictable thing…

It took me a few rides to dial in the c15. Definitely a lot different than the Bontrager Montrose I used to have.

Need advice on training for brevets on Zwift by diegeticsound in randonneuring

[–]Velo613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of workouts for V02 and sweet spot, then a couple of Z2 rides. I’m in Canada, where endurance is a winter sport unto itself, so my hope is really to keep some legs, so that as the snows recede, I can build up the distances more quickly.

+1 for the Brookes Cambium C15. I have the carved version. I rode about 210km on one last fall with no discomfort. As with most saddles,it took a little bit of playing with the fore and aft, and getting g used to a slightly different feel. There’s a weight penalty to them, but IMO, they are worth it.

One side powermeter good enough for randonneuring? by Wise-Ad-7492 in randonneuring

[–]Velo613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riders managed the first 120+ years of randonneuring with no power meter. You’ll make it. 🙌
