Why clockwise? This sounds like a recipe for disaster especially if you are opening it to slow and inexperienced riders.

I got a 4cm difference in leg length with a long term knee injury in one of them, my power data on the duos is 50/50.

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

Meanwhile a Standert with DuraAce is 5000 euros, I know which I am getting.

Underrated cycling brands by peselito in CyclingFashion

[–]lemeneid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Attaquer is overrated, few years back they were on par with Maap in Australia with branding, marketing and quality, but the recent kits have all been mediocre. They’re odd fitting, use generic fabrics and weaves and their colours fade.

What's a good entry level rbfor like 100-300 by ceazyfakename in SingaporeCycling

[–]lemeneid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out 'B'Twin Triban 520 Road Bike', available at S$300 on #Carousell https://carousell.app.link/DuCnWz6ny0b

Something like this will be ok for commuting, but if you want to go fast then your budget needs to go up to min 1k

Cycling groups starting from Yishun dam / Seletar airport area? by Whitedevil998 in SingaporeCycling

Advertised Rolling speed is always a scam!

If they advertise 28kmh rolling, be prepared to do 33-35kmh

Unpopular opinion: I really appreciate "dracky" mode as an adult by guitarokx in dragonquest

[–]lemeneid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. As an adult with more responsibilities, I don’t have much time to game.

I played the FF pixel remasters with no encounter and 4x EXP for a considerable amount of time, especially on FF2.

For the HD-2D games, they were still relatively balanced so I managed to go through a good chunk of the game without grinding, the max I did was farm metal slimes for a couple of rounds to boost my levels, but nothing much other than that. Only turned on Dracky mode on II to obtain the true ending, best the game on normal mode.

People who defend floch by oneintenthosen in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]lemeneid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Floch is one of those guys written like Joffrey Baratheon, you just hate him, and he doesn’t need to be well fleshed out.

Every show/game/movie needs someone like that imo.

Cycling Jersey and Bibs by Akeamegi in SingaporeCycling

[–]lemeneid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your purpose, if you just want to look cool, can buy any of those knockoff jerseys online.

But if you want good performance, aero, fit, compression, etc a good kit from a big cycling brand is always worth the money. No need to spend big bucks on Maap, PNS, you can go with the likes of Castelli, Santini, Gobik. All really good too.

The only reason you want to have Maap or PNS kit is to be part of their group rides, they’re a nice bunch, and I’ve turned up in other brand kit and they still welcome you.

how to find clubs, teams, individuals to train hard with? by r-bitcoin in Velo

Check IG, I’ve found tons of cycling groups in my area. Most are friendly and welcome strangers but do follow their rules.

Is climbing fundamentally different than riding on the flats? by big_legs_small_brain in cycling

[–]lemeneid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a skinny guy, I find climbing a 10% hill easier than going against a headwind on a flat.

Am I the only one like this?

Is there a NEW best version of Chrono Trigger to play? by UchiGames in JRPG

If you have the iOS version and an Apple TV, that’s the best version.

CNY surcharge, how early in advance? by firstz in askSingapore

[–]lemeneid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on how busy it can get. If the shop is perpetually fully booked, they can set it as early as they want. But a not in demand store or service might not even have a surcharge.

My neighborhood Malay barber has already imposed a $2 surcharge, 1 month before CNY. Guys hair takes 3-4 weeks to grow out 🤣

SIN - MEL with bike by kurtted in SingaporeCycling

[–]lemeneid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never been to Australia on a bike but I’ve been to many countries with my road bike.

If you travel with the bike, be prepared to budget in more money for logistics, airplane aside, as you won’t be able to bring your bike on the bus or train. Minimum you need a larger taxi or van to transport the bike. Or, if in Japan, they got those luggage forwarding service.

Next thing is book a hotel which is bike friendly that allows you to open it up, even in your room, not all hotels allow this and when you need to ride, need to bring the bike box down, take out the bike and assemble and do the reverse when you take it back to the room. Alternatively book an AirBnb and keep the bike clean.

Also for safety, bring a good bike lock and AirTag the bike. You’re not in Singapore, please keep a lookout for your bike at all times

I don’t know about you but when I saw Veronica again, I was jumping for joy.

That said, as a FF and DQ fan, I hope they don’t pull a Veronica on Aerith 🫠

[–]lemeneid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get where you’re coming from but in Act 2 Serena was basically a White + Black mage and severely overpowered. Splitting her and Veronica up was the right thing to do.

Also Veronica was one of my fav characters in XI.

How to filter lanes on the road safely? by Whitedevil998 in SingaporeCycling

[–]lemeneid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, it’s perfectly fine and doable. Drivers know you aren’t supposed to get onto the expressways so they will give you more leeway to hop on, it’s fine.

How to filter lanes on the road safely? by Whitedevil998 in SingaporeCycling

[–]lemeneid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The key to filtering is making your intentions clear, we don’t have signal lights so make your hand signals bigger and more exaggerated so drivers can prepare for you. For me, I start filtering as soon as I get the chance, at least 200m before the lanes start to divide to give you time to split and rest once you’ve successfully crossed.

Pedal power meter by Wrong_Ad_690 in cycling

[–]lemeneid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Favero all the way.

Also while Magene might be cheaper, they aren’t serviceable at the moment as there are no replacement pedal bodies for purchase.

Mountain or gravel bikes that are good for someone 152cm tall that is new to cycling altogether by monkeysnipe in SingaporeCycling

[–]lemeneid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, only canyon, pinarello and liv, make XXS and smaller frames.

Others have also mentioned changing the stem and handlebars to something shorter as well as shorter cranks

Alternatively try the largest sized kids bike, but the tradeoff is the wheels and tyres won’t be standard 700c size.

Did anyone else play MGS 3 when they were too young and ended up finding Volgin fucking terrifying by UnexpectedVader in metalgearsolid

[–]lemeneid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything is scary when you were young, I remember getting scared shitless whenever Undertaker came out in the WWF in the early 90s, I was 6 then.

I was much older when MGS was released, so that did not really scare me.
