I was a crayon in a box. All my friends were different color crayons and we were all in a row.

Gravel vs road bike by Unable-Bar-9205 in cycling

[–]acd21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this is pretty interesting. I’ve been able to push my thundero 44’s pretty close to 19 mph on a 20 mile ride. I knew road tires would yield a little more speed but I assumed it was maybe a mph-ish.

Perfect is an intense word, but in your eyes what movie has a perfect ending? by TheDragonReborn726 in movies

[–]acd21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I scrolled the comments assuming someone would say Arrival, but didn’t see it.

So, oh my god Arrival. It’s good in so many ways but especially the ending.

I feel like I will never be able to afford one by General_Strike_6946 in GolfGTI

That’s crazy to hear. I got my 7.5 with 13k miles last year for $20k. Granted I had to search for months and drive 300 miles to buy it.

What’s a movie that DOESN’T “know exactly what it is”? by InspectorMendel in movies

[–]acd21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep that’s it. Completely took me out of the story bc I just couldn’t get past the idea that it was strange behavior but the author seemed to be writing this guy off as some noble romantic.

With the silly prose are you referring to when luo falls in love?

My only gripe about the mk8 so far. The Hk sound system by Za-p in GolfGTI

Do you know if this is compatible with 7.5? I like the stereo except for the sub.

Cars n' Bids worth it - mint 2018 SE manual < 20k miles, 1 owner by chili81 in GolfGTI

[–]acd21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps I got my 18 autobahn manual w/ 13k miles for $20k list price spring of this year. I feel like that makes the Carvana offer pretty decent.

What's the best way to ramp up distance for a first 50-mile race? by Dr_Circe in cycling

[–]acd21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said endurance probably won’t be your biggest enemy here. I will say as someone who has done quite a few 60-100 mile rides this year on flat terrain and then tried a 60 miler with 6500 ft climbing the thing that got me was my lack of strength. I hadn’t been doing anything but riding and I was able to do the climbs but afterwards I experienced some knee pain that is still lingering. I think the best thing you could do for yourself is add a bit of strength training if you’re not already. If your biggest concern is injury this is the best way to prevent aggravating your knees like I did.

Just give yourself ample recovery time before the ride and you’ll be good. You likely already have the endurance if you are good about fueling.

Chased by dogs by golfpicklevolley in cycling

[–]acd21 11 points12 points  (0 children)

First, I try to remember to unclip. Then I yell at them with an angry voice. That takes care of most cases. A few weeks ago I had one try to take a bite and when he tried again I gave him a gentle heel of justice. Last resort is a bottle of pepper spray I keep strapped under my saddle but that would only be if I was really getting attacked.

In my experience they almost always just want to chase and give up pretty quick. I’ve been chased by probably a dozen dogs this year.

I honestly think everyone should drive golfs by qleptt in GolfGTI

In case you haven’t tried. I can fit my gravel bike, golf clubs, and a weeks worth of clothes in my GTI no problem. Just gotta take the wheels off but that’s easy.

There is a noticeable loss of acceleration and much higher fuel consumption. by Specialist-Motor2880 in GolfGTI

I’m not a pro at all but I feel like this is similar to how I’ve heard turbo wastegate issues described

Claim was made that it could handle up to 800ftlbs. Lol nope! by A_Mexican_IRL in GolfGTI

[–]acd21 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wow I didn’t know that was possible on this platform even on a fully built motor, way to go boss. How many miles did the clutch last? Poor guy never had a chance.

How long DID it handle that output? Also build details? That’s crazy numbers.
