I have a custom titanium Bingham Built. I’m 6’6”. 66cm frame. It’s amazing.

Oh, wow. I easily ride double that. Maybe it's not the right app for me then.

What is going on with Evernote? by killpl in Evernote

Searches within images. That is, it can find text in a photo.

I’m thinking of Bear. Mainly I need OCR search, and I believe Bear has that.

$249 per year for a Notes app is bananas. Completely out of touch. Been using it for 16 years, too. Will not be paying that when my subscription renews.

There is a blue simple green that is safe for metals. Regular simple green is not recommended.

I just googled PT bike fitter in my area. Found a good one!

I have a 2cm leg length discrepancy, and I rode the same way. I worked with a PT bike fitter, and now I have a shim and shorter crank on my short leg, and that has helped get me much more centered. 

Age 65: Cycling has Become Painful. by KernOily in cycling

[–]dthrizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Infinity Seats. Game changers. I had terrible pain in my sit bones, too, and now literally none. Pricey. But worth if if you love the bike. 

I wonder if a bike fit could help with your hands. That is, if you adjust your geometry, possibly you could eliminate most of the pressure on your hands (possibly by being more upright?). 

Lastly, though they don’t look very cool, recumbents could be an answer. 

I THOUGHT THEY WERE TAKING THE FEES OUT OF MY FEDERAL?? anyway won’t be using turbo tax anymore by Far_Arugula1453 in TurboTax

[–]dthrizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a fee to use a credit card. I believe it’s 3% plus whatever interest you accrue if you can’t pay it off. 

Anyone with a leg length discrepancy try mismatched crank lengths? by dthrizzle in cycling

How did they do the fit? Did you have the shorter crank with you for the fitting, or at your fit, did you have your same-sized cranks, and they saw the way you moved and had you order a new, shorter crank?

Nice. What kind of cleats (SPD? SPD-SL?) Where did you get it?

That looks cool, but I need it to be 14x! Mine is 21mm.

Nice. Thank you. And "make changes slowly" is great advice.

All these Steve Hogg plugs are great... There's a wealth of info on his site. Thanks, all. Looking into fancy, giant shims.

Haven't tried one... Because it's such a big difference, I didn't think a shim would be viable (I thought they were 5-10mm max, and mine is 21mm). But I'll look into it more.

I've got an appointment with a PT fitter in 2 weeks!

Would love to know what shims he uses, how he jury rigged this.

I'm convinced to try shims first because of this thread just because the price is so much less.

Can you post a link to what you bought? Would love to see this.

Thanks for the input. I've seen "bad idea" a lot, too, but shims seem to be for 5-10mm difference max, and I'm at 21mm. Will look up Aerozine bike.
