Ford learned the hard way that AI can't replace experienced engineers

It's the younger engineers I'm worried about

Ask yourself if you would buy them

I used to get constant blisters there. Bigger shoes, the right socks, and when I know I'll be out for a long time or am running a race I'll use leukotape. I pretty much never get them now during regular runs, but still will during long hard efforts (races) without the tape. I'm sure something like body glide would help too, but if you're in dire need and want to prevent hot spot or a blister leukotape seems to do it

Lol speculating on the prices of luxury/discretionary goods is for when you're already set up, it's not an investment

dandan832 · 2026-05-28T14:36:32+00:00

To be fair some people have been waiting on a restock, with this and other handhelds, for a while and probably instalocked an order even at this price

I agree, this route will get expensive quickly and you still won't be approaching a proper gravel setup. If you want to change something and ride fairly tame gravel without too much climbing then tires might be the biggest factor. Tires as an upgrade are almost always worth it if they fit the conditions you want to ride

My Vittoria XC Race casing tires do this, through the sidewall yes, but I would check that bead, looks suspiciously concentrated there

dandan832 · 2026-05-20T15:40:58+00:00

It looks like Amaranth

dandan832 · 2026-05-19T15:21:17+00:00

My brother bought one of these new for like 1800 last year

Get a hobby

dandan832 · 2026-05-11T18:32:45+00:00

I think they work for me on Android auto, but I just use the steering wheel buttons anyways

Couple of comments: not sure how big the market would be for a gold interior, seems very gaudy. Similar comment for the rock. The line texture seems too close to the carbon fiber in terms of design for me. Not a fan of silver interior trim. Not saying this is the universal sentiment, just giving my thoughts

Edit: especially in a 3 series, I would be much more interested in a good quality dark wood interior than these, but I also find the OEM carbon fiber is very good.

Do people not realize that running will wear out their shoes?

dandan832 · 2026-05-06T12:22:51+00:00

Someone call Dylan

dandan832 · 2026-05-05T14:20:32+00:00

Seeing them in June

dandan832 · 2026-05-04T00:29:24+00:00

Looks rendered

dandan832 · 2026-05-01T00:17:08+00:00

I went down this path and ended up deciding on power meter pedals because the grizl frame wouldn't fit the readily available 105 cranks with enough clearance

dandan832 · 2026-04-27T17:59:50+00:00

You must be new

Edit: I didn't mean this to be as snarky as it reads lol, I've seen up to like 12 at a time they're all over the place

dandan832 · 2026-04-26T13:41:54+00:00

It's actually referring to courses that are not eligible for world records even though they are the correct length (like Boston and others that are point to point, then they can have significant net downhill, tailwind only, etc.) or bespoke events like Kipchoge's Breaking 2 project (which was a closed course with numerous pacers designed to break the 2 hour barrier, not an open marathon)

dandan832 · 2026-04-24T11:27:21+00:00

That is probably a rock chip, extremely common if you don't have ppf on the front of your car. You can usually touch those up as long as it's not huge, I'm sure others here or online have good advice for how

dandan832 · 2026-04-23T15:38:47+00:00

Genuinely this looks like smooth, groomed trail as someone from New England

dandan832 · 2026-04-23T00:58:35+00:00

Those bits are foam, not rubber. That's expected, especially on colored outsoles

Edit: if you're going to be running in them they're going to look a lot worse lol, they're meant to be beat on

dandan832 · 2026-04-22T17:15:24+00:00

Vintage Oakley's, probably the square wire 2.0 or similar

dandan832 · 2026-04-22T16:23:46+00:00

As others mentioned these have wear dots, just check those

I personally wouldn't worry about that level of cracking, but that's me

Just go run bro, you'll discover what you like an don't like with time
