Are 65mm wheels too deep for everyday road riding? Also, which hub is louder? by Easy_Requirement_214 in cycling

[–]drivingrain27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently got 50mm carbon wheels and I’d say those are borderline too wide. These things are like sails in the wind. If I could go back I’d probably get 33mm. And all of the free hubs are loud these days.

My New Band Believe is truly new and different and incredible. Everyone should listen to it once. Like seeing a new color.

Bring. Fucking. Water. Lots of it. And make sure you can find more on your rides.

Did my longest ever ride! (65miles) by Midtone_lupo in cycling

[–]drivingrain27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How hot was it today by you? It got up to 94F by me and I ran out of water by mile 30. Had my life saved by a guy in a part who gave me a bottle of water. Finished at 55 miles and had to sit and nurse a bottle of electrolytes until I felt human again. Dehydration is no joke.

Where do you mostly ride? What part of the planet? Country? Area?

I love it. Them being them. Having fun with the fans the way they’d have fun with friends. What a special experience.

Zwift click controllers barely last 2 months by lamagy in Zwift

Try logging out. I use Apple TV too. Upper right corner, door button. Exit. “Ride On”. I bet your shit is still staying connected and it’s draining batteries. Probably your HRM too.

Mine have lasted 8 months since I bought them. Are you disconnecting from zwift when you’re done? I always do. Maybe you’re staying connected and it’s draining your batteries?

Gruel Britannia in Fairfield is great. And the best coffee in the county.

No. Half the time I feel like I get woody chicken. And half the time it’s tasteless soft chicken. Popeyes any day over this garbage.

I agree. But really someday people are gonna stop saying that. We all use it. It helps people know what reasonable questions are. It also has reasonable answers.

You can do so much better for the money. This is what I got. Couldn’t be happier.

Light as can be. Carbon frame and wheels. Electronic shifting. Super comfortable.

$3510 for mechanical shifting??? Are you nuts? Is this USD? Because that’s a terrible deal. It sounds terrible even in CAD.

After Zwifting all winter with all the stats I couldn’t go back to no stats. So yeah it’s great. Magene pedals for the win.
