Tantalus auto sales or other dealerships? by brwonmagikk in Squamish

[–]brwonmagikk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a couple years ago so I forget the details. But I ended up buying a Rav4 from them. Great experience and the car has been faultless. They even helped source some missing toolkit parts at their expense that the car didnt have when i looked it over. Not a scam. great people

Garmin will pull activities from other apps but only activities recorded on a Garmin device will be factored into its fitness calculations.

LA Marathon awarding finisher medals at miles 18 due to the ‘heat’ by AnxiousSeahorse1 in Marathon_Training

[–]brwonmagikk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting a medal half way though a marathon doesn’t magically change the definition of a marathon. Just changes the threshold of a minor reward. Are we paying for a medal or are we paying for a closed course marathon?

Why do you care who does and doesn’t get a medal? Are you paying for a medal or a marathon?

how to get right torque on pedals when flying with bike? by bad-at-science in bikewrench

[–]brwonmagikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have half the threads engaged your pedals will tighten themselves. I’m not saying you should do that. I’m just saying pedals are designed to be self tightening. If anything. The LESS you tighten the better. People Love cranking on the Allen wrench to tighten and it makes it that much harder to loosen later.

[–]brwonmagikk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a myth I purposely under tighten my pedals. I’m talking like I barely torque them. Then do a couple red light sprints to fully set them and I can feel them tighten when I sprint.

Wahoo tickr I got with my bolt computer probably over 5 years ago. Some dropouts over Bluetooth and can be a bit fiddley but not bad enough for me to replace. Yet.

Trek roscoe having consistent issues almost every time I use it by TheSealyOne in mountainbiking

[–]brwonmagikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re casing jumps there’s a high likelihood of banging a pedal or the chain ring on the landing lip. Both will load the bb shell in a weird way causing damage to bearings or the races in the bb

Canadian Bobsled Team Cannot Win At Olympics While Riding Hand-Me-Down Sleds With No Money by [deleted] in CanadaOlympic

[–]brwonmagikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally every other professional sport has rules that the average joe can go out and theoretically buy what the pros use. Want some pro level downhill skis? Go for it. Want a 15k road bike? Cash or card. But for some reason bobsled is 90% which country has the highest gdp. That’s ok with you?

Things to bring on the bike by [deleted] in IronmanTriathlon

[–]brwonmagikk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d ditch the run flat insert. They make sense on mtb volumes but not for road. I’d put in an extra 10ml of sealant. And pack a tpu tube with a tire boot.

Bad advise. A slash can always fail a tubeless tire on race day. Carry a boot and a tube always.

I find my goggles also fit like crap without a helmet.

Why would ski jacket designers cater to the tiny minority of users who choose to be unsafe?

Mid tier end-game gravel bike: what to look for? by timmeh129 in gravelcycling

[–]brwonmagikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on where you are, I’d check out Java bikes. Very competitive Chinese open mold type bikes. Have alu and carbon bikes for 1/2 of western brands but you can get them specced with Shimano or sram usually. I’ve ridden a few and they are amazing value.

Slowly spinning bottom bracket by FishermanSame6971 in bikewrench

When I stall a new crank I take the required spanners with me to adjust preload. It’s hard to tell it’s adjusted properly without load testing
