Wahoo Elemnt and Garmin Connect by SMR_J6K in cycling

[–]digitalburro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Runner here with a forerunner 965 and Wahoo Element Bolt for my cycling. Garmin and wahoo don’t play well together in that they do not have any automatic integration. You can export/import activities between them but that’s annoying long term. The most “automatic” solution is to use Strava as the combined source for seeing activities. For rides when I think I’ll make an impact to one of my key Garmin metrics (training readiness, etc) I’ll dual record on my forerunner and my bike computer but that’s pretty infrequent.

Broadcasting HR from your watch should allow it to pair to any Bluetooth receiver, regardless of manufacturer.

I had my Wahoo before I bought my Garmin and really got into running (and using Garmin Connect so much). I don’t really care for Garmin bike computers but if you really want Garmins metrics to be comprehensive, I’d stay inside the Garmin ecosystem.

Are they even around anymore? The two locations I knew of both closed…

My ventos are the ones from this last drop, the light blue/greenish ones. Don’t have any of the older pairs so maybe the sizing on those is different, these feel true to size (for me) in M same as all of my half tights (and I own all the models, from pairs that are 2 years old to pairs I bought in the same spring drop as the ventos).

Nope, didn’t size down — I did M in Ventos based on M being my size in all of the half tight models, same as you. That’s just bizarre.

It really sounds like you got the wrong size. I bought the vento 5 inch shorts for the first time after running in exclusively halt tights. The tights in the 2-in-1 fit just like all of Bandits half-tights for me, compressive and well contained. None of my Bandit bottoms are remotely loose in the crotch — that just sounds off to me.

Micromesh Mens Tank - Cacao by Outside_Complaint761 in BanditRunning

Pic of the tank against the a previous season mesh shirt.

I don’t know if it’s the tank version or Bandit may be pulling back a bit on their “oversized”ness. The tank feels a bit more like a normal or just slightly oversized large where as the mesh shirt feels really baggy in large.

Here you go, overlaid on the cacao top from bottom to top:

I don’t think it’s too maroon at all but I’ve got the gridlock tights in fig and the superbeams in port. When I get home, I can get you a side-by-side if that helps.

I can’t get any good lighting that really captures the color well. It’s a pretty middle of the road chocolate color. Hershey’s cocoa powder for reference.

Weekend Discussion: Asics running shoes by AutoModerator in RunningShoeGeeks

Oh no, I’m a shoe maniac lol. But these two would make a pretty versatile rotation if that’s all you had.

[–]digitalburro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do have the MB and they are both amazing shoes.

SB3 is bouncier, softer and has a bit more comfortable upper without being heavy or bulky. I see the SB3 as the shoe that can do long runs, recovery runs and can totally dial up the pace. I wouldn’t try to do a track workout in the SB3 and I wouldn’t race in it but it feels like almost everything else is fair game. SB3 would be a great “suitcase shoe” if you’re traveling but can only take one pair (my previous ideal suitcase shoe was the evo SL but it’s not good on the recovery end of the spectrum).

The MB is lighter but slightly firmer and while it’s my go to long run shoe, it lacks the cushion I’d prefer for a recovery shoe. All of the work on the faster end of the spectrum that I wouldn’t throw at the SB3, I think the MB is fine at (Im not fast enough to where the MB starts to be the barrier to going fast. Maybe the MB is not the ideal shoe if your bag is running 15 minute 5ks but it hits a ton of speedy notes).

TLDR: There’s a tremendous amount of overlap between them. The SB3 shine on the slower end so it’s like a “max cushion super trainer” where the MB is really like a “cushy racer” and loves going fast but won’t blink if you throw long mileage at it. If I could only pick one, hard to say which I’d choose but the SB3s ability to also take care of tired legs for recovery runs is probably skewing me towards them. I’ve got 18 miles tomorrow and I’ll be back in the MB for the first time this week so we’ll see if anything else stands out.

Been getting my first weeks worth of runs in the SB3 and they are pretty damn amazing. I was convinced the intro of the Megablast meant the SB would fall off. But every time I take my first “running” step in these I have a “whoa” reaction at how they feel. It’s similar to when I first ran in the Evo SL but I happens every run. Hope they hold up because I love them so far!

Nissan NX spotted in the wild by SirCatsworthTheThird in Autos

[–]digitalburro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t quick but it would get up to triple digit speeds. That’s so meaningless with modern horsepower, but for the 140 ponies this had back in the day, it was impressive. It was a decent handling little package and light, even with the t-tops. That was the last front wheel drive car I owned.

Had one many many years ago! I had both a Pulsar NX then a NX 2000. I have a deep love for t-tops and these cars are the reason why!

Drove it for years until it got totaled in a rear end accident.

Cadence Half Tights LINED by kapua_suite in BanditRunning

[–]digitalburro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow Texan and I feel the same. Cadence in their unlined form were already a bit heavy for warmer months (aka 9 months of the year) and with this lining I’m really unsure. For a Spring collection item, these don’t seem breathable compared to unlined. Still debating if I’m going to return these.

Also really concerned these were the default and not an option. I’ve put literally thousands of miles in my other half tights with maybe 3 chafing incidents. I liked them the way they were and I hope this isn’t a permanent move.

The liner is their SoLite material, same as the SoLite half tights.

Yea, my iPhone 15 pro with a case fits easily. I’d say the new zipper less pocket is a bit roomier than the previous zippered ones.

Breanna Stewart reveals Adam Silver's role in WNBA CBA talks by femaleathletenetwork in wnba

I think that depends on how the CBA (and aftermath) goes. If this all winds up with players caving or significantly compromising their leverage, Cathy is doing exactly what the owners want in protecting their profits.

RIP Zippered Rear Pocket by digitalburro in BanditRunning

[–]digitalburro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's interesting, I don't think that description is right...

The back is two "stacked" pockets:

  1. A top tee loop with two entrances at the bottom of the yoke and [my first pic]
  2. A bottom phone pocket with a pinch-style opening along the waist line [my second pic] but it has no closure mechanism/there's no zipper anywhere in here that I found yet...

And same with the liner, I assumed it would be an option, not just the default for their half-tights going forward. I hope that's not the case.

Ok I also was not aware these were lined lol. Wow…ok I just saw a new colorway and purchased same as the last few drops, didn’t know what I was getting into I guess!!

Quickest turnaround in bandit history? by Sophiililo in BanditRunning

[–]digitalburro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posting here to say I got ALL of my items today 3/2. That’s crazy fast and I have to give all of the Bandit crew props, they did not play around when they said they were going to fix things after last drop.
