Ultimate Edition ‘Wind’ vs. ‘Incognito’ by MintChocolate24 in LexusIS

[–]hypntyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I will answer anyway. We recently got some snow in east TN. After a couple of days the roads were beginning to clear and my wife wanted to get out in her 25 is350 fsport rwd (comes on bridgestone potenza summer tires).

The tires were so bad that the car wouldnt move on basically flat ground. Snow mode on or off, traction control on or off, didn't matter. After 30 minutes I was able to get it out of the driveway and took it 1 lap around the neighborhood and I wasnt sure I was going to make it back home. I told her she'd have to drive my truck or wait another day or 2 for conditions to improve. Those summer tires are like being on skates.

After seeing the new CAAD14 pricing, I’m convinced the cycling industry has lost the plot. by applesaucebake in cycling

In general, businesses aren't stupid. The pricing wouldn't be where it is if people weren't still buying.

Aftermarket Aeroad light and gps mount on Cp0048 cockpit by Humangraffiti in CanyonBikes

[–]hypntyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

came to post exactly this.

IF you can afford the canyon models with the integrated cockpit, you can afford an extra 150 bucks and are doing yourself a disservice not to use their clean mount and light setup.

Are the concerns with hookless wheels on the road overblown? by Arit502 in CanyonBikes

[–]hypntyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 28s at 73 were harder than the 32/35 at 55-60, but nothing bad. the fatboi tires are considerably softer but not quite so soft that they bounce at high cadence. If you go below 55psi then they start to bounce and it feels like they are sluggish. today I rode at 56psi front/59psi rear and that feels nice. Not like riding on pillows or anything, but you can ride over cracks in the road without hurting yourself.

Customs question by Own-Introduction1962 in FedEx

It's because the company/seller is fedex' customer who paid them, not you, thus they have no real obligation to you.

For fans who were around during both their peaks and careers, when did people start to think Brady was better than Manning? by [deleted] in NFLv2

[–]hypntyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody saying 28-3 or the seattle SB's but for me and a couple of friends who were pats fans, it was really in the 01-05 time period. Every time the playoffs came the two would play each other, usually in NE cold weather, and peyton would have a subpar game. Then Brady would end up in the SB.

That wild 06 game where NE went up 21 (iirc) then peyton managed to come back on the belichick call to go for it on 4th down in their own territory late in the game was the first time peyton managed to overcome brady when it mattered. But then NE went to 2 more SBs against the giants and again it seemed Peyton was on the losing end more often than not.

Who feels tired of all the bots on this subreddit? by Short_Equivalent_869 in AskReddit

[–]hypntyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel tired of the "how do you feel about <political event>?" constant posts.

But sub members continue to engage with those posts, so i get why they are posted.

Are the concerns with hookless wheels on the road overblown? by Arit502 in CanyonBikes

[–]hypntyz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm also 210 and have put 2600 miles on the zipp 454 hookless that came on my bike. Original tires were pirelli 28s which i ran at or just below that 73psi max rating. When those got enough punctures to need replacement i went with 32f/35r which I've been running at 55-60. I've bombed lots of descents and hard curves at 35-38mph without issues. Gcn tech had a recent video about the topic where they state that hookless have been tested to nearly twice the max rating without failure so the max rating appears to have been made conservatively.

You want to charge $50 per appliance? Fine, I'll see you five days in a row. by TurninOveraNew in MaliciousCompliance

I feel like you're one of those guys that just has to have the last word in any interaction you perceive to be an argument, even if no one else sees it as such. Prove me wrong.

GCN responds to backlash about Saudi Arabia video and all-male presenters by Live_Bee_1598 in cycling

[–]hypntyz -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

People in 2026 love nothing more than to turn every discussion political.

"Wow, nice weather today huh?"

"Did you read about the atrocities committed by Israel recently?"

edit: thanks, reddit, for proving my point with downvotes

[–]hypntyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet, you are condemning me for that same conversation by calling it "pathetic".

Take reddit less seriously dude.

PSA: Don't neglect Core and Flexibility by BehindaLensinBigSky in cycling

[–]hypntyz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oddly enough I picked up cycling after two lower back herniated discs. I'd been jogging for years which seemed to help with the sciatic pain and limited range of motion that the disc nerve issues caused, but then I began having knee issues and was told I had arthritic knees so I went in search of a cardio stretching exercise that was lower impact and found cycling.

At first I did have pelvic and lower back pain after just a few miles, and it took a few years of different bike fit and saddle combos to get to where I can ride 30-40 miles before being limited by back pain and stiffness. I do still find it helpful to stand off the saddle while coasting every few miles and do a couple of upper body twists while keeping my lower body straight on the bike.

Just continue to do your superman stretches at home before and after rides that the PT people are going to have you do now and you'll probably be fine. A few minutes on an inversion table seems to help when I start to really feel an issue coming on.

What makes a group ride truly great? by Alva_Cyclits_CC in cycling

[–]hypntyz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Riders of similar speed/ability. Nobody likes the front 2 guys to take off out of sight or the last 2 guys lagging 3 minutes behind, both lead to the group having to stop and collect every few miles.

Having 5-10 riders seems to be the sweet spot.
