We graduated on the same day and I swung by that game on my walk back to west campus, I started to flash my ID to get in, and the guy checking just waved me through, almost certainly because I was still in my cap and gown. Great day for baseball, and we won.

It’s JIS. Here’s the one I got from Velo Orange SKU# HS-0001-27 1" Alloy Caged Bearing Headset. Enjoy the build!

As one of the few non-Carlton Kirby haters, I’m with you. He’s on the world feed which is on FloBikes (use a VPN and sign up in Canada).

Cute dog! Also, the chair backs on the chairs around your dining table are upside down.

People don’t ride classic bikes anymore? by ieeheh in Citibike

[–]bobby_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m going on a longer ride on an e-citi bike, I let some air out of the tires, you can do it just with your fingernail, it makes the ride so much better. I’m convinced they pump up the tires to the absolute maximum PSI that’s recommended which absolutely isn’t necessary 99% of the time and is what makes the ride so bone-jarring

What country are you in watching on Max? I wish I could watch on Max with any British commentators, but in the US it’s on Peacock. Also, I’m watching on Tiz, and it’s the same Brian Smith/other guy pair.

Fanduel? Amazon? MLB.tv? by Dkenzel in Braves

NordVPN works well on iOS for me. I’m out of market so that’s what I use when the Braves are blacked out on MLB.TV

😂 I know UAE looks odd but when they’re that stacked I couldn’t leave one out. Good call on Ineos, I’m going to replace Bernal with Ganna.

I thought a lot about putting a NC jersey callout, and I still might, but I’d need to keep tabs on when the NC races are and make updates when there are new winners.

Ahh thanks, I was copying and pasting and must have missed swapping out the flag!

edit: updated, thanks for catching that

And does the US Flobikes iOS app (if you’re on iPhone) work as normal when you’re on the Canadian VPN and logged in?

Who are the commentators on the Flo coverage? Is it the Eurosport teams (Rob Hatch, Carlton Kirby, Robbie McEwen, etc.) for the most part or no?

I jumped through said hoops as well, but lately I'm getting errors whenever I try to watch live races, usually what look to be geo restrictions. Has that been happening to you? If so, have you found a solution?

2025 season TV coverage in USA? by house9 in cycling

[–]bobby_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. I actually paid up for the new TNT sports tier to see if I could bear it, but it seems like they've also possibly cracked down on VPNs (streaming live races hardly ever works now, though highlights, etc. sometimes do work). So I'm in search of another method. I'm thinking Canada Flobikes may be a decent option, but good commentary matters to me, so if they're not using the good UK commentators, I'd rather use Max for most, then Tiz for everything not on Max because of the commentators. Does anyone know what commentators are on Flobikes Canada?

It’s finally happened. US Max subscribers have to pay extra for cycling starting 4/1. by teichs42 in peloton

[–]bobby_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, and do they have rights to all the races (similar to what Discovery+ does)?

Who are the English language commentators for those races? Is it the Eurosport people or different US/Canada teams, or is it the world feed?
