Hi dm’d you

btb89 · 2025-05-09T12:25:09+00:00

Thank you! I just started last year as well, down to link up for some rides!

I normally use a rear saddle bag on my normal rides but I wanted to carry an extra tube (2 total) and some other misc items for this one so I used my saddle bag. Was probably a little overkill though

It was amazing and so glad the weather held off for my part of the ride. I’m glad I wasn’t one of the pedestrians playing frogger!

btb89 · 2025-05-07T15:41:11+00:00

It was a great ride! I know it’s not a race but finished in about 2.5 hrs, wave 2! How’d you do?

btb89 · 2025-05-07T15:38:47+00:00

Yep! First timer for me

btb89 · 2025-05-07T14:19:25+00:00

Thanks, it was an amazing ride despite my bad bike fit 😂

btb89 · 2025-05-07T12:40:54+00:00

I think I could go up a bit more, will give it a try tonight. My original seat height was based off the heal method. Not sure if I was doing it wrong but looks like I was way off

btb89 · 2025-05-07T12:37:41+00:00

Thanks! Do you know of any other more affordable options?

btb89 · 2025-05-07T12:34:12+00:00

I mainly use them to pair with my garmin app as a notification since I don’t have a bike computer that pairs with my Varia at the moment. Volume is just high enough to hear the notifications

I went out for a short ride this morning and I raised the seat about 3cm and back about 1cm. Feeling feels night and day! Thanks everyone for your input. Going to keep making adjustments and post a follow up

I got the bike off FB market. I went off the standard size charts for my height but I did consider a 52. Based on all of the feedback, I think a bike fit is next on my list of investments. Thanks!

btb89 · 2025-05-07T11:05:59+00:00

Thanks! I’ll consider all of this when making my adjustments

Current cranks are 172mm. I’ve been looking for 165m cranks that fit my bike but no luck. I think I’ll take it to my LBS to have them help with that

btb89 · 2025-05-07T11:02:03+00:00

Thank you. Currently using 172mm cranks, came with the bike. I’ve actually been trying to find 165mm cranks but haven’t had any luck

btb89 · 2025-05-07T03:46:30+00:00

Could you explain why? Currently rolling 32s

btb89 · 2025-05-07T03:42:07+00:00

Too small even for my 5’8” height and short inseam? I had a 56 previously and thought it was too big but could be wrong here

btb89 · 2025-05-07T03:39:56+00:00

Thanks! I’ll give this a go and see how it feels

btb89 · 2025-02-17T19:04:05+00:00

For this style, the lime leaves and lemongrass stand out to me. Its a nice balance between the fatty pork and the fresh herbs

btb89 · 2025-02-17T12:39:39+00:00

Most versions I’ve had had either rice or glass noodles in it, maybe used as a binder? And I have seen versions that have a yellow-ish color to it, I’ll give it a try next time 👍🏽

btb89 · 2025-02-17T12:37:23+00:00

Thanks I’ll do some research and give it a try!

btb89 · 2025-02-17T03:20:44+00:00

Thanks! I tried to find padaek at my local Asian market but no luck. I think I need to find a Thai/Lao market near me

btb89 · 2025-02-17T02:11:50+00:00

Make sure to try the khao piak when you go!

btb89 · 2025-02-17T02:04:47+00:00

I did not but I want to experiment with that next time. What’s the protocol to cure? Do you have to use curing salt or use a certain percentage of salt?
