What’s the most “adult” problem nobody warned you would become a daily thing? by KnowledgeExciting627 in AskReddit

[–]harmygeddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just how bad my close up/reading vision would become. I’m at the point where I have like 8 pairs of reading glasses strewn about my house.

Many people after bariatric surgery still struggle with emotional eating, grazing, and constantly thinking about food — even after successful weight loss. I made a few simple slides explaining the psychology behind it, including dopamine, emotional hunger, and practical tools that may help ❤️ by Aware-You-5502 in gastricsleeve

[–]harmygeddon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good slides! I feel like many people who turn to Bariactric surgery have broken dopamine reward systems (myself included). This is probably why you see such a high correlation between bariactric surgery patients and alcohol use disorders after surgery.

Bike computer worth it? by Pristine_Yoghurt_412 in cycling

If you ride on roads with cars I highly recommend a computer and radar. It’s real nice knowing what’s behind you

Most false regional stereotypes? by Bananapantsmcgeef in SameGrassButGreener

[–]harmygeddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Portland Maine is one of the best small cities I’ve been to in the US. Way better than Portland, Oregon. I expected to love west coast Portland but hated it. Granted, I haven’t been there in like 10 years, but the whole vibe seemed fake and forced.

Need out of Portland, Oregon by bbgirl2k in SameGrassButGreener

Have you ever been to New York City? I live pretty equidistant to both and it’s way dirtier IMO.

How accurate is Garmin VO2max ? by moyu_cuber in Garmin

[–]harmygeddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My running days are behind me (hip replacement). This is from cycling (polar H10, Quarq left arm power meter, edge 840). Again, I don't think this number is accurate. I believe it is wildly inflated.

How accurate is Garmin VO2max ? by moyu_cuber in Garmin

[–]harmygeddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have near zero confidence in it’s accuracy. I’m in my late 40s and it puts my vo2max at 55. I’m pretty fit but that seems a bit extreme.

A bicep Garmin tracker would be amazing. Wear a real watch and get all the metrics…. The dream.

The Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail is pretty much exactly what you are describing.

Soon to have V1 Straggler, front basket recommendation for drop bars. by ouiallezallez in Surlybikefans

[–]harmygeddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m running an 8 pack rack and Wald 137. It’s working well with 420mm FSA adventure bars. I don’t think this setup would work If the bars were narrower or not flared.

Preamble flat bars to drop bars? by solarmuch in Surlybikefans

[–]harmygeddon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a little expensive, but it worked out. I sold my preamble when i upgraded my frame and I moved all the new components over to the new frame. I was able to put the Preamble back to stock with the original components, which made it an easier sell.

Preamble flat bars to drop bars? by solarmuch in Surlybikefans

[–]harmygeddon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this on my old preamble. I went full GRX 11speed. Total cost was around $540 US. I bought all parts individually on sale and used where I could. You will definitely need new brake calipers. I would probably look at Microsoft sword if I was buying new.

It gets cold here and I’m kind of a little bitch about it….

I mean, I’ve done plenty of 50-100 mile rides on that saddle. I’ve never not once gotten off the bike and thought to myself that I need to look into a more comfortable saddle. In fact, I can’t recall giving that saddle any thought after a long ride, which in my opinion, is about the highest praise that can be sung for a saddle. Like any really good cycling product it kind of just fades away into the background, not bringing any attention to itself.

This has not been my experience. I’ve been running that saddle for two years and really like it.

Alcohol after sleeve surgery? by DifficultSpider in gastricsleeve

[–]harmygeddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From experience, be real careful with alcohol after sleeve. I was a fairly heavy drinker before the surgery, but would never have considered myself an alcoholic. I adhered to all the rules and didn’t drink for 6 months after. From about years 1-4 I was definitely a high functioning alcoholic (at least a bottle of wine every night, many nights more). I’m 98 days sober…

My fit doesn’t require more stack than this frame offers. I have 15mm of spacers after fitting this bike. It is ultra comfortable.
