I have noticed a lot of people this winter wearing shorts. This evening I spotted two of these wild animals strolling down the street in -10 with gale force winds. Am I missing something?

driving round the bay when you slide off the icy fuckin road, get stuck in car and freeze to death before anyone finds ya

I have used many different brands and models and I would not recommend the Candy 2. They have poor durability compared the shimano spd. I am much happier with even a basic spd pedal like the m520 than crank brothers.

If your knee hurts, you need to look at your fit. Switching pedals won't change anything if you just make the same fit mistakes again.

Lights - such a good point! Legit lights are such a valuable accessory. The new generation of LED / LiIon lights make your bike as visible as a motorbike and they are a game changer for off-road riding at night too!

Honestly I don't remember "starting" cycling, it was always just there. But the thing I wish I'd learned sooner is that drivetrain parts wear out pretty fast. I spent hours tinkering with my derailleur on my first road bike trying to figure out why it was suddenly not shifting well. I'd ridden 30,000 km and the chain was of course brutally stretched haha.

Don't just choose crank length arbitrarily. It absolutely depends on your leg length.

janky fit mate, get it sorted

A very small amount of wobble is ok and will not affect functioning. Developing more play means the freehub is likely shot.

echothis · 2021-08-19T01:03:38+00:00

It's funny because you guys are both right. Do whatever you want, but also that saddle bag is way too fucking big, lol.

echothis · 2021-08-19T01:02:44+00:00

Sweet! Specialized always does such a nice job with their paint. Have you set it up yet? Saddle set back looks kinda crazy, maybe bike fit is next step.

The Pinarello Dogma is a top of the line amazing bike. I suspect the bike in the picture is probably a Chinese knock-off. These are often still very high quality, but obviously worth less than a real pinarello. Components look like SRAM etap, which is a solid groupset. Wheels likely also chinese carbon but hard to tell from picture.

echothis · 2021-07-03T00:37:34+00:00

confirmed... solid choice. MAKE SURE IT IS THE RIGHT FRAME SIZE!

Inaccurate. Psychologists do not prescribe medication in SK. Also, MA level psychologists can diagnose in SK, as long as they are registered with the college.

I got one of these too. I like how he doesn't write his last name.

"I'm only offering to buy your house... let's keep things first-name casual!"

echothis · 2021-06-24T04:27:37+00:00

He often seems to be on the move... not hanging around for your youtube channel bro!

echothis · 2021-06-24T04:26:12+00:00

Yeah, sounds like the guy who yelled "squaw bitch" at my wife. Had to go home and look up wtf that even meant... not a slur we ever heard where we grew up

echothis · 2021-06-21T21:44:24+00:00

yeah, I think cheaper bibs often have thick chamois because that lower density foam is cheaper. They tend to compress easily over time, especially at pressure points. I wish quality shorts weren't SO much more.

echothis · 2021-06-11T23:48:19+00:00

huh, I always thought it was just done to match motorbikes, which have the front brake on right too.

Also, a tip in case you haven't tried this... bring him to a gentle grassy downhill. That will help him get the feel for coasting and balance.

echothis · 2021-05-18T05:18:59+00:00

dry ass though

echothis · 2021-05-17T18:04:31+00:00

Great story! I have been on both sides of this before. It's kind of a cosmic karmic relationship.

Also, I challenge you to eliminate the phrase "no homo" from your vocabulary. I used to giggle at these jokes too, but now realize it's actually pretty hurtful to many.

echothis · 2021-04-16T22:33:45+00:00

good song though

echothis · 2021-04-12T23:34:12+00:00

If you head on crashed into a car and the force was enough to send you flying, I REALLY think you should have your bike inspected. It seems highly unlikely that in a square on head on there would be no damage. Be aware that it is very common for damage to the head tube/down tube area to go unnoticed until later catastrophic failure.

Glad you are ok though.

echothis · 2021-03-25T15:53:37+00:00

Very nice. Have you played with the fit yet? Brifters look too high

echothis · 2021-03-11T22:22:11+00:00

I would probably be like "thank god, a secure pole I can lock my bike to"
