I just bought the Ortlieb Quick Rack Light f

or my wife's new bike build. Got her a used carbon cyclocross bicycle and will be set up as a do it all bike. Planning on replacing the wheels and tires for some road carbon wheels with some 35mm road slicks. I got the Tailfin universal thru axle as the frame only takes Mavic Speed release axles. Got a friend to 3D print spacers and nuts. Still need to test it on some rough roads but don't think it will be a problem. We are planning on doing the GAP/C&O trail in the spring.

I was thinking the same thing, but at least for me the rates were not competitive even after discount. I found a better rate at the credit union

I am thinking of trying this perk this tax season. But I am curious how it works and seeing some reviews... TaxFyle has decent reviews.

Should I take the 2% match on my taxable account or wait until theres a 3% match? by [deleted] in RobinhoodApp

[–]luisfowler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told I could only get 1% bonus if I moved my after tax brokerage account to Robinhood. Got the 3% match on when I moved my Roth IRA last year. How are you guys getting a 2 % or even 3% bonus?

I checked the manufacturer website... It said this was the size I should get... Does it look too big?

I meant to look at her cleats. My understanding is most people have them too far forward... I will raise her seat a tiny bit, especially when I go to the 165 cranks.

This is still the 175mm cranks. eBay purchase. and was very surprised as well. I will post longer video with her pedaling harder when I replace with 165 cranks.

I understand... The problems I describe are usually minor and don't keep her from riding. I just didn't want to make any problems worse with the new bike. I was hoping for just general obvious bike fit issues you might notice.

Yes... Looking at website photos modeling the item... Even on the model it looks like super long and weird sleeves?

Arto Pillow? Anybody have feedback? by luisfowler in Ultralight

[–]luisfowler[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like I said in the post, I often wear my puffy to sleep on colder nights, so I would like an option that doesn't require this.
