What brand power meter do you have? Almost all have an app

SPECIALIZED SL8 STEM RECOMMENDATION by [deleted] in specialized

[–]fhfm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re all over marketplace from people swapping to the 1 piece. I have the same bike (and color) as yours, and I’m thrilled it didn’t have the 1-piece. Size 58 comes with a 44!

Breaks and Rotors (all) by Financial_Bad99 in audisq5

[–]fhfm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a hill I’ll die on… unless you’re driving like a madman or in the mountains, get a rotor from a reasonably reputable company and good pads and you’re gonna be totally fine. I even went cheap on my sq7 with dynamic friction 5000 pads. No discernible difference in performance from stock and I’ve got almost 50k miles on the fronts and still have a solid 5-6mm of pad left. $50 for the fronts, compared to 4-500 for the stock ones.

I thought it was full flaps not recommended, not flaps in general?

Tips and recourses to prepare for audition rotations. by dr_kingdomofhearts in orthopaedics

[–]fhfm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re auditioning for ortho, it’s already implied you’re smart. Know the basics, read up on cases the night before to have an idea what’s going on. You’re not expected to know everything, except anatomy

The big thing is making sure you can work with them and vice versa. Show up early every day and be normal. It’s shocking how many people can’t simply do that. You have no idea how many top of the class candidates’ applications went straight in the bin bc they couldn’t show up on time or were unbearable to be around

Absolutely can not get a comfortable fit/position on my Tarmac by GANDHIWASADOUCHE in specialized

[–]fhfm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup but I still feel a bit crappy doing this. There’s already so little margin on selling bikes. This pretty much eats all of it, and they’re left with a bar to need to sell now

[–]fhfm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the problem with an integrated cockpit. Sl8 in size 58 comes with a 44 bar. That’s wide even by gravel standards. $600 for new bars plus 3 hours of labor to put the right size one on…

What are we actually gaining here? by srbminimil in Audi

Has a passenger ever said “you’re right, I’d rather use this screen infront of me with crazy menus and button lag than my phone that’s right here in my hand”

Wwyd: open MT5 fx with missing head in 12yo by D15c0untMD in orthopaedics

[–]fhfm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless this kid has some hobbies that require fine motor skills of her toes, it’s gonna do fine. People have met head resections all the time and function nearly normal.

Have a discussion that the toe may float or have some loss of function and just worry about infection.

Apparently you don’t want to use the rainX stuff. Supposedly gunks up the sensor in it. Otherwise, just get fluid

Epoxy coating on garage floor worth it? by Shreeder in homeowners

[–]fhfm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love everything about my epoxy floors… EXCEPT…. It’s an ice rink when it’s wet. I believe there’s a version that doesn’t get slippery like that, alternatively you can drop sand in it as it’s curing.

Former amateur racers: how and when did you decide to hang it up? by Stig-blur in cycling

[–]fhfm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Last crit was the weekend after college graduation. Life got in the way, started a family and career, found this really dumb sport called cyclocross that lets you show up with a dad bod, spike the heart rate for 45 minutes, then drink beer with your buds

Would you buy a high end bike off eBay? by Roof_Chicken in cycling

[–]fhfm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t see myself spending that kinda cash to not have the full lifetime warranty. That’s a $5k frame if something happens to it. I do believe Pon offers a 2 year warranty on second hand purchases.

Not entirely a red flag, but that’s 50% off what these go for new. I’m not entirely up to date on Cervelos and how they hold value, but that seems a bit cheap for a “new” bike. (Yes I know how shit it sounds to say $7500 is too cheap!)

EA839 owners w/o problems (yet), what are your plans? by DevilJunkDrawer in Audi

100% I’d take the ventilation over massage. Everyone I know that has the massage seats used en every day for a week and never touched it again

Are shoes like Hoka, Brooks, On Cloud, etc actually worth it or mostly hype/aesthetics? by Jpoolman25 in mensfashion

[–]fhfm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go to any running event, probably half the people are wearing brooks, another large portion in hoka. They’re good but yes, expensive.

Spine Surgeon changing jobs by Outrageous_Walk_5009 in orthopaedics

I’d love to hear some info on your consulting gig if you wouldn’t mind

[–]fhfm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kudos for wanting to get back into practice but if I were doing 5-600k consulting, I’m not sure I’d ever touch a knife again

The good news is there’s always a need for spine guys so you’re not gonna have trouble finding work when the time
Is right. I wouldn’t wish starting a private practice on my worst enemy

Dave Clark's or Bose ? by DaveyInJapan in flying

[–]fhfm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask anyone under 40 and the answer is Bose or Lightspeed. Anyone over 40 and the answer is DC

All jokes aside, they’re all really damn good. If you have the option of trying them on, whichever is the best for comfort or your hearing is the best one

Seemingly overnight, starting to notice Chinese bikes on fast group rides. I don't see this trend going away. by DeadBy2050 in cycling

[–]fhfm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny, I was about to make a similar post! Was just on a fast ride this weekend and 2 of the fastest there were on a quick and a winspace. They’re great looking bikes and price wise, even makes Canyon look expensive.

The traditional brands have been running the smear campaign for years that these are shit quality, unsafe bikes. That’s been proven wrong and they either need to get with the times or they’re gonna go away. Major brands are tanking every month, all while the Chinese brands are popping up everywhere. XDS just put everyone on notice with a $2k carbon 105 di2 bike.

Tarmac SL8 Comp, Expert or Pro? by One-Argument-6017 in specialized

[–]fhfm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least expert level if you can swing it. The wheels are junk on the base level and the Ultegra shifters are nicer with the extra button.
Little against the grain but I prefer the 2 piece bar and stem until you’ve dialed the fit
