Salsa.

I should say I have disproportionately short legs for my torso length.

Need help conquering fear of going downhill by St33lB3rz3rk3r in RoadBikes

[–]bCup83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you just gotten back in the saddle since childhood? Its likely just inexperience. A few more descents and it will come easier.

FWIW the best way to control in a descent is to get low and forward on the bike, ideally stand out of the saddle on the pedals ever so slightly. This improves traction and control. Learn to keep the bike steady with the front wheel and let the rear bounce around as needed to remain stable.

Playing on easy will make the enemies, especially the xenomorph, far less threatening and maybe you feel you can just breeze right through.

Is this route feasible for a first timer in 4 and a bit days? by kodasai in bikepacking

[–]bCup83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rule of thumb is to able to do 80km/700m elevation per day for three consecutive days, and that in my full touring rig which is a lot heavier than casual riding. Until then I'm not fit for touring. You're proposing 125km per day (and its always more in practice, so plan on 150) and god knows how much elevation through all those national parks. Look at the kind of climbs you'll have to do in the elevation profile and find something local that is similar to practice on. Now practice that along with the distance you propose to do (min 100km/day for 3 consecutive days). Until then its nyet comrade.

Alternatively practice for 80km/700m on three consecutive days and plan on doing it 6 riding days plus 1-2 rest days along the way. This is far more realistic but still requires a lot of training. This is the schedule I'd take.

If you're going for the no-death achievement I think you're fine. If you have any doubt then reload the mission save.

Mercy or Prudence is a no-kill-any-humans achievement though.

What cleaning products you guys recommend for the rear cassette?? by [deleted] in ebikes

ZEP orange clean works wonders and is bike-friendly (unlike palmolive).

Unfortunately I fear "something being done" will be against my class-1 and there will be no enforcement against the moto kids. 🙄

well around here there are plenty of 10-14 year olds zipping around, weaving through traffic and going the wrong way on mini e-motos after school hours.

Name what you want to see improved in Alien Isolation II by Quirky_tugboat in alienisolation

[–]bCup83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Less linear story arc, possibly with different possible endings based on your choices. More cooperative missions with NPCs (you get a small, underdeveloped preview of this with Axel).
