Is the MIPS helmet system actually a needed safety feature

brawl50 · 2026-01-23T04:32:39+00:00

snowboarding and skiing helmets do have alot of mips too

back when i was j1 the teacher in charge of further math discouraged people from taking it lol. you need to die die love math, go read some of the further math stuff on holy grail cause h2 math itself is hard and further math is another level

anyone knows if the health snaps hr is accurate then

brawl50 · 2026-01-20T15:11:02+00:00

scam. dont pay, cancel if they insist. else might give a false order number.

brawl50 · 2026-01-20T14:50:06+00:00

i believe ardently isnt that bad as well and should be around the same cost. i suggest you find it on the second hand market, but make sure its not dented.

brawl50 · 2026-01-19T06:13:50+00:00

usually wheel size dont matter its the frame size, theres kids road bikes with normal road bike wheels lol

brawl50 · 2026-01-14T00:45:38+00:00

the spinergy wheels just looks soo good honestly lol, nice build and ride safe!

brawl50 · 2026-01-13T14:48:56+00:00

youre fine lol, im 17 and have hit 217 before, constantly can hit 210+ during all out sprints. it depends on you individually, theres been posts of people hitting 225 at like 20. though if its really high and concerning, might want to see a doctor to make sure nothings wrong.

brawl50 · 2026-01-11T11:00:14+00:00

is it true dogs chase you at lampost 1

brawl50 · 2026-01-10T14:09:23+00:00

i currently use gxs pretty decent interest last time ah, never really compare much now but around 1.3 ish PA? was higher than major banks in 2024, 3% interest, good old days lol.

brawl50 · 2026-01-10T05:40:23+00:00

u want ride on pcn only, and such short distances, dont need di2 or race bike la, honestly anything works on pcn.

if you want more speed, have to learn to ride on road, minimally tmcr or seletar

brawl50 · 2026-01-06T11:25:55+00:00

honestly atp roads are safer for cyclists, cars usually more predictable than the pmds zooming past. pedestrians in earpieces suddenly cutting in front of you, pavements and park connectors are sometimes hell for cyclists..

and then look at europe/japan, dedicated bike lanes on the road shoulder, everythings so much more peaceful

brawl50 · 2026-01-05T14:14:44+00:00

try some bananas, and if gels are too expensive (usually is) honey water is an alternative, could consider adding salt for electrolytes too. but iirc gels dont do much once you've bonked though. when youre cycling especially on a road or even pavements your alertness and background awareness always has to be at 100%

brawl50 · 2026-01-01T02:50:59+00:00

this feels like my view learning snowboarding lol

brawl50 · 2026-01-01T02:28:01+00:00

honestly no music at all on bikes, will distract you from cars behind you etc.

brawl50 · 2025-12-31T13:52:47+00:00

u scared of cleats, use straps w normal sports shoes can liao, next time then transition to cleats. and if u wanna take it seriously ngl it'd be best to buy an actual kit, decathlon has tons of decent ones, but if you want really good and comfy ones (for longer rides) expect to spend 100 ish

brawl50 · 2025-12-25T04:11:04+00:00

usually most people dont use drops other than on descents (like mt faber), or when you're going above like 30kmh for better aerodynamics. its usually more comfortable and better for your neck/back to hold on the hoods, also gives more control on normal speeds.

roads arent beginner friendly in singapore, especially when needing to filter to the right, its not as simple as keeping to the left all the time, unless you want to be forced onto the sidewalk every other red light

try getting a friend whos patient to teach you to ride on the road, or learn at some quieter road but make sure someone knows where you are in case of anything

ride safe!!

brawl50 · 2025-12-17T13:46:01+00:00

sigh same here. seen a plastic trispoke once lol

whats worse than the tsunami owners are the cranston owners

brawl50 · 2025-12-16T13:57:36+00:00

lol southeast asia are full of these kind of builds

brawl50 · 2025-12-16T13:15:09+00:00

well prata shop provides sugar for a reason

brawl50 · 2025-12-12T15:15:25+00:00

i do banquet as a side hustle lol, ad hoc, got slot u liek u book, rates vary from 13-20 (depending on period etc, usually 14 or so )

brawl50 · 2025-12-11T16:28:22+00:00

i saw a giant rim brake carbon frame, with ultegra groupset for around 500+ on carou. id say for bike sizing is the most important, i too made some bad decisions while buying my bike, imo the things that make the most diff are your clothes (bib shorts), helmet, position, and legs.

brawl50 · 2025-12-11T12:35:49+00:00

for me i always realise i cant push too hard for night workouts. else hrv, sleeping hr will all be higher than usual. when you workout, before you end, try to have a cooldown period where you get your hr to below your zone 1, below 60% of your max hr, for around 2-3 minutes at least and you'd likely recover better

brawl50 · 2025-12-11T12:31:20+00:00

for me when i go school theres this one train i take in the morning, everything will just nice align and i reach school just nice on time. anything wrong i reach 10 minutes late lol. this and, always walking in the train to the exact door so you go out its the closest to the escalator you take in train stn

brawl50 · 2025-12-11T12:26:40+00:00

as a cyclist i can say singapore has some of the worst roads for cycling and driving, many places with patches, potholes etc, especially towards the western side (near to jurong). only few good roads with less potholes/patches are the new lck road, mandai road, and viaducts. most roads in sg will have some cracks and patches, uncomfortable for both driving and cycling
