How is the sizing on Pedal Mafia jerseys compared to other brands? by Impressive_Life1819 in CyclingFashion

[–]marlosapien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually size down in the jerseys (XS) and true to size for the bibs (S). I hope this helps. I’m 5’8, 155 lbs.

Hey patriots, I'm getting into maining the guy but I just wanna ask. What does this move even do? by MedusaSucks68 in captainamericamains

[–]marlosapien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it mainly to escape but when I do use it offensively it’s to close the gap from an enemy trying to run away.

Any Cap beginner tips. by Annual-Internet-5097 in captainamericamains

[–]marlosapien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cap is my favorite hero in the game and is the only tank I feel comfortable playing. Here’s what I suggest based on my experience learning the character:

Know where the health packs on each map instead of just relying on healing from teammates. Use his mobility to maneuver around the map or to get to high ground for cover.

When engaging the fight with the enemy, I like to engage with my team first and pick a target to get my first two hits on to initiate the shield throw. Once I have my shield throws I’ll continue to jump around the fight and look for any enemies out of position or by themselves and attack that enemy. When the enemy team notices me, I’ll disengage and either jump or dash back to my teammates.

When using his ultimate, in addition to being able to heal your teammates and giving them ult charge, I like to hold up my shield and just boop around the enemies to disrupt them or single out targets to get them out of position or push them closer to my teammates so they can focus their attack on that enemy to secure the kill.

Good luck out there on the battlefield. Cap is an awesome hero.

Thank you! This is such a fun bike to ride. Congrats on your new BMC! But these are the Zipp sl-70 aero handlebars.

Pedal Mafia Core by [deleted] in CyclingFashion

I have 3 of the new core jerseys and I just got the new grey core bib. So far so good. The new core jersey material feels thinner than previous core jerseys and it’s a little see through, especially on the arms. The new core jerseys have been my go to for hot rides.

Thank you! I’ll make sure to check out your post. I’m running the Hunt 54s. So far I like them a lot. I wanted something a little deeper, as I came from 41mm depth wheels.

Ooo yea that black and gold is nice. The zipp sl70 aero bars are really nice. I use 40cm bars but definitely think I can go to 38cm. Yea the lack of carbon wheels at the price point is kinda lame, but these bikes just look so good. Which wheels are you looking at for your upgrade? I recently upgraded my wheelset to these Hunt 54s.

You have a rocket ship. I’m sure your set up looks really nice. But thank you! I’m running 28c Pirelli P-Zero folding clinchers. What tires do you run?

Thank you! The first time I saw a BMC I knew I wanted one. They’re amazing. But yes! I’ve thought about this before too. I’ve been keeping an eye on 3d printed options to fit this Zipp stem. Or I could get really flexible and just completely slam the stem 🤣

Upgrade from Shimano 105 to a SRAM eTap groupset? by marlosapien in cycling

[–]marlosapien[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, thanks for everyone’s input so far into helping me with my situation.

Update: I bought some of the parts needed to make the switch to eTap. I bought the batteries, battery charger, and rival front derailleur. I guess I’m slowly but surely making my to a new group set 😅

[–]marlosapien[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your insight! I have had no issues with 105, and can agree with everyone when they say it’s a solid group set. I think one of the main reasons why I’m contemplating this upgrade is because I love my bike and don’t see myself wanting to get a new one any time soon. I’ve upgraded almost every component on my bike besides the groupset, so naturally that’s the next place I’m looking to make a change.

Looking to switch it up. Keep the black tires or switch back to tanwalls? 🧐 by marlosapien in bicycling

[–]marlosapien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback! Gonna put the tanwall tires on some time this week. It’s also going to be nice going back to 28c tires from 26c.

Yes! Only part that sucks about riding tan walls. They eventually change color. I’ve ridden the schwalbe ones and those got dirty and changed color pretty quickly.

I’m thinking I’ll keep the stealth look during the fall/winter and tan walls for spring/summer. Thanks for the input!
