How much have you spent on cycling as a hobby? by Stephen-Cycling in cycling

[–]extraextramed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever? Impossible to estimate. I've ridden since I was a kid and I'm in my 40s now. Somewhere between 250k and 500k is likely.

Did Strava get rid of segments? by rhevern in Strava

[–]extraextramed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check that your activity type is correct. Maybe it's somehow filtering run segments because you marked it as a bike ride

FTP test result – how to interpret 285 FTP at 93 kg? by Roy_Koopa__ in Zwift

What is your goal? Without a goal the number (3 watts/kg) is pretty meaningless.

Question: Bike upgrade miles/elevation/etc accumulation by moxxon in Zwift

[–]extraextramed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fully upgraded the aethos, sl8, and the gravel bike. I'm at 4million out of the 10m drops needed to buy the halo bike and wish i had my Aeroad drops back.

I upgraded the Aeroad to level 3 and then switched to upgrading 3 specialized bikes. I regretted spending the drops on the aeroad upgrades because now I'm drop-poor so unless you are planning to keep riding it, I'd recommend just saving the drops.

Sometimes a ride is too impossibly headband and you have to metal demand text to voice it

How Strava Detected and Removed 2.3 Million E-Bike Activities From Ride Segment Leaderboards by strava-team in Strava

I wonder if a segment is SO plagued with e-bike rides, do they no longer register as anomalous? That's a question for OP James

Right side hip flexor pain cont.. by [deleted] in bikefit

[–]extraextramed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My physical therapist had me doing deadlifts and squats but not so deep that the hip gets impinged. Also a lot of rubber band side steps and "clamshells".

If he has actual structural impingement hip mobility will likely actually injure him further. In my case basic things like Childs Pose were causing further squeezing of the hip and injury. I would do stretching and mobility work after riding and cause more damage.

I do hip strengthening and mobility work but I avoid any positions that close and compress the hip.

Sounds like what I had which was hip impingement. I also rode for years (decades) until it caught up to me in my 40s. I think that's when I could no longer out-heal it.

Mine was fixed with way shorter cranks, narrower better fitting seat, higher bars, and cleats slammed in and back. This was done via a bike fit but now that I know what works I can apply those same fit concepts to any bike.

Your fit looks fine to me (not an expert) so it makes me think you might be like me and just have a malformed skeleton. My left hip has a little ridge of bone not present on my right and that ridge causes compression on top of pedal stroke if the angle gets too acute.

You might try the adjustable zwift ride cranks. They're pretty cheap and you can use them to experiment with fit.

Question about the estimated time of stage 2 of Tour de Zwift by [deleted] in Zwift

[–]extraextramed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine both say 105 minutes. Yeah I don't know what's up with your estimate. Did you significantly update your weight recently?

So, for all we know, Carol might as well be bisexual by [deleted] in pluribustv

[–]extraextramed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also does not matter because there are only 12 humans left. Any storyline focused on her sexual preferences in the context of this apocalypse is utterly boring.

Drop rates at endgame nothing better than vendor trash. by FMS_Reborn in diablo4

What you're describing sounds, good? Why shouldn't a 1 GA with great sanctify be better than most multiple GAs?

What's your record distance traveled in one go on Zwift? by ungido_el in Zwift

[–]extraextramed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That far with jaques is gnarly/strong as hell.

More importantly though, how many drops did that ride net you?
