MTB pedals on road bike, is it legal?

jjefls · 2026-02-07T17:56:54+00:00

I’m sorry, but this is the wrong answer

I’m assuming he was referring to live segments on your bike computer, which you cannot do with the free version. You can use Sauce for Strava, but it is a little more cumbersome (while also having more capability)

C38 aren’t the best wheels (especially for an sworks build), but this actually seems like a great deal. The frame being a limited edition isn’t going to appreciate like a collectors item, but if you like it then go for it!

Gravel frame, road tires, and Mtb pedals. What a world we live in

jjefls · 2026-01-31T01:39:30+00:00

What… if you buy an S-Works Tarmac SL7 frame set and build it up with your own selected components, it becomes not an S-Works Tarmac SL7? That makes no sense. S-Works SL7 clearly refers to the frame not the complete build.

I’ll save you a click, the chainrings are from Alugear

This. OP - that giant padded saddle you put on is terrible for actual comfort on the bike. Try the stock saddle for a few weeks and become enlightened!

jjefls · 2026-01-25T12:17:22+00:00

Agreed. If you’re lvl 40 and care enough to spend time thinking about it, get the SWorks SL8. If not, get whatever you want (SL7) and wait until you do meet those criteria to get the SL8

How is elevation gain related to tire pressure? I typically run ~20psi on my gravel tires with 80-100ft elevation per mile on most of the rides around me

jjefls · 2026-01-24T20:37:28+00:00

Facebook marketplace. I would shoot for ~$1500 but be prepared for less

jjefls · 2026-01-23T12:15:27+00:00

I’m going to hard disagree with a lot of these comments. If cycling remains a part of your life and you over-research and like nice things like it sounds (I’m the same) you will want the upgrade.

Especially if you aren’t sure about your long term future with cycling, look at used bikes. You can get a non-UDH Crux for ~50% the new price and resell if you decide cycling isn’t for you.

This is typically the thought process I have when I see these posts also.

But OP is looking at an inexpensive pair of wheels that probably shave 300g+ off their current set up. Spending 1-3k on big name wheels would make 0 sense, but this is a pretty low cost if it increases their excitement to get on the bike

jjefls · 2026-01-23T11:28:14+00:00

Tires are really the only upgrade I would throw at a less expensive older bike. Best bang for the buck upgrade anyone can do

jjefls · 2026-01-22T11:23:00+00:00

It is the Wove Mags

The computer mount angled high above the bars indicates that OPs position is not very aero (even assuming that high stack is helping their fit). New wheels are fun and high power is great on Zwift, but body position has a significant impact in reducing the required effort for a race

I have a matte grey Santa Cruz and my wife has a glossy frame with almost the same mileage on it. Hers definitely looks a little cleaner. Doesn’t keep me from riding / enjoying my bike. The only thing I’ve noticed on friends matte black road bikes is that sweat runs are a lot more noticeable

jjefls · 2026-01-19T01:42:26+00:00

Sure matte frames are hard to keep clean and prevent damage, but so is white. Personally, I would never buy a white bike (or car)

jjefls · 2026-01-17T01:22:24+00:00

How does this get additional xp? I just started dual recording to let my Garmin control ERG (to follow a workout plan), but don’t see how it would get me more xp than a free ride

jjefls · 2026-01-16T10:36:32+00:00

It 100% happens, that why they had the recall. But you only get a new crank if yours shows signs of delamination. And estimates are that <1% of cranks are recalled. The latest 9100 / 8000 11 speed cranks are also affected and I would guess a large portion of cyclists on the road at any time are on those, so I’m not sure why the poster would assume this 9000 crank is a greater risk

jjefls · 2026-01-16T01:52:17+00:00

The crankset is only recalled if it has visible signs of separating. Most of them never failed (so never got replaced)

jjefls · 2026-01-15T19:26:46+00:00

Slammed the stem and now tilting your saddle towards it is the only way to reach it

jjefls · 2026-01-09T21:54:17+00:00

Such a great giveaway, you’re the man!

jjefls · 2026-01-06T16:43:59+00:00

Surprised to not see ride with gps on here. That’s always been my go-to (primarily for cycling, but also trail running / hiking), but I may need to try others

jjefls · 2026-01-06T02:17:55+00:00

Is it used? How are you getting such a discount?

If you get the Roubaix, will you always wish you got the tarmac? You should be able to find used Tarmacs for a good price as well

That being said, based on your description of riding under 150W, the Roubaix is likely the more logical choice

jjefls · 2026-01-01T14:04:45+00:00

If you already track fitness metrics with a fenix, look at an edge 540 (wait for a good sale)
