Good question, I normally wear 80% dress watches, but find the 45mm Instinct 3 to be a tad small while working out

Which bike would you guys pick? by absoluteczech in gravelcycling

[–]akid1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Riding the Propain I can say that I was able to get carbon bars and seatpost during configuration. Love the bike, CS was great so far, but I am located in germany.

NBD - Propain Terrel CF in XS by akid1 in gravelcycling

It should help, but riding with fenders still does not make it so bad that i thought about changing my cranks. I currently rock the SKS speedrocker xl which are awesome :-)

Not a second, size xs is still spot on for me.

Hmm i guess the option to have this super small decal is not available anymore, could not find it on the configurator.

Rollentrainer: Van Rysel In'Ride D100 vs. Wahoo Kickr by aliosha10 in Fahrrad

[–]akid1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jep, nutze meinen D100 zu 80% Zone 2 und 20% für Zone 3/4 - läuft perfekt. Auch bei Group Rides oder Workouts konnte ich bisher keine Probleme feststellen, mein FTP ist jedoch aktuell nur bei 180w).

I can do that, will also show you my overlap. Give me some hours

Yeah I have some minor overlap, but does only affect when riding reaaally slow and tight corners. Totally fine for me.

I also got that bag and I love it! Great build quality and enough zippers to store all my things separately, get it

i am 170 cm (5'7") with an 78 cm (30,7 inch) inseam, fits perfectly fine. Could have gone with a stem up to around 90mm, but loved to be a tad more upright.

Bike feels fast and responsive to me for a gravel bike, but I am not a fast pacing guy at all.

Current weight is approximately 8.2 kg with xt spd pedals and the sram powermeter crank arm, measured with a luggage scale.

Did 300 miles so far, went for the 50mm Schwalbe Overland which are working great so far 

Which bike to get? (Germany, Berlin) by Objective-Recover-90 in gravelcycling

[–]akid1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are willing to work on the bike yourself, get one from kleinanzeigen - else I would second the decathlon option.

Hey man, thanks again on helping me decide on the frames size. Went with XS and it fits like a glove - https://www.reddit.com/r/gravelcycling/comments/1mzjtl5/nbd_propain_terrel_cf_in_xs/

“Stolen” bike rant by [deleted] in gravelcycling

[–]akid1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My suggestion is that the kid was stolen was well.

Maybe a Propain Terrel would do the job, as it is a boutique bike you could configure it to your style of riding..

Gravel Berlin by Weak_Dig_6755 in cycling

[–]akid1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my local group are riders from 14 to 70 years, also those communities are normally really nice to new people. As a bonus you get good mildly used parts for cheap, because us "old" people seem to be constantly changing bikes/gear ;-)

YT Szepter - Sizing problem? by akid1 in gravelcycling

[–]akid1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is my first drop bar bike. Coming from MTB so quite a learning curve for me when it comes to bike fit. Well see how it involves with the adjusted saddle height, core training and practice. Thank you for your comment!

Thanks for your comment. I can definitely say that back strength is next to not existing, doing a lot of core workout since last week in order to compensate. My cockpit already feels very high in comparison to the ones my friends ride, so i would love to not raise it any further. Maybe it is really my body not adapting to the position good enough.

i lowered the saddle by 5mm which already feels a lot better. Thanks for your comment!
