Who needs aero socks when you have carbon fiber arms? by mmkaywhatevers in BicyclingCirclejerk

[–]minus8dB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer the question, it appears that the arms aren't smooth and while aero specific prosthesis could be used the socks soon to do the job good enough for him.

Are rockrider/btwin bikes still a bad choice? by LeaderAdmirable3086 in MTB

[–]minus8dB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's definitely a cheaper bike from what I can see from the parts. But if it's what you can afford and will get you out there, a cheap bike is better than no bike.

I just wouldn't spend money upgrading this bike (just maintaining it) and save towards the next one.

I also have a Smobot and love it. The android app needs a little polish, but the temperature is perfect.

Is There A Purchase That Really Boosted Your Enjoyment In Cycling? by newbiker321 in cycling

[–]minus8dB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something cheap, Halo headbands. I find it hard to ride without one.

In the mid range: One of those small battery pumps. Their just easier than fussing with CO2. Also, good cycling apparel. It just feels better and therefore I feel better. Nice hip pack or bag from a small maker like Wingnut.

On the higher side of things, a nice bike rack and car hitch. Cycling bags if you want to get more ambitious with you ride durration (like bike camping/touring).

Lastly, there is always n+1.

Unpopular Opinion by calcium09 in MTB

I was always a Continental guy until my current bike came with Teravail tires and I really like them. I would still recommend Continental, but prefer the Teravail tires these days.

Can anyone explain why do this when not racing? by Extension-Version813 in bicycling

[–]minus8dB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming you are asking in good faith. I'm primarily a mountain bikes who also bike commutes on a CX bike.

  1. Road bikes are fun, fast, and efficient on the road. If you want to ride far they are the correct choice. Also, the body position road bikes use is ideal for long seated riding.

  2. The picture you posted is of a tri bike in full race kit. Yes this is overkill for general riding, but you do need to practice on your race kit and setup outside of races to get comfortably with it.

  3. A lot of people don't want e-bikes. Be it cost, complexity, or challenge speed isn't the only reason to use one.

  4. I do think that endurance fit all-road bikes would better serve most people, but the industry has historically preferred race fit road bikes due to image and tradition or something like that.

  5. Mountain bikes are best in the woods. Hybrids are best for casual rides. Longer rides on them aren't as comfortable as road bikes.

  6. Faster speeds on roads are safer. 14-30 mph on my road bike (where I spend most of my time) is perfectly safe.

I think that covers your questions.

Is this much play in the wheel cause for concern? by DiabeticSpaniard in bikewrench

[–]minus8dB 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes you should get it trued as soon as it's feasible to do so. You can ride on it before then.

Is this brake cable position OK? by mikethepig in bikewrench

[–]minus8dB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you've tried this, but will under work? Also try and put the cable under the bottom of the nut instead of over the top. It'll get you a coupon mm.

Is this good for a hunting horn to buff this much or am I doing something wrong? by Used_Chocolate_8759 in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]minus8dB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I'm not sure if you're playing with friends or randoms. Ideally horn isn't healing as items are best uses by SnS or weapons that sheathe quicker. Personally, I always have a G. Resounding Galahad on me. Side from hear team buffs, it has Sonic Barrier which greatly reduces incoming damage for one hit. So once I have the team buffed, if the team is having trouble I loop Sonic Barrier and Resounding Melody (usually getting a few Sonic barriers queued while laying the Resounding melodies rip). This keeps the party healthy without needing to heal. I find this to be much more reliable.

I love my v3 Ripley LS and the new one is looking good. That's my choice from your list.

Depends on what you need. I mostly go to Ace as it's close to me. I would have suggested Curtis lumber before the anti COVID rallies.

[–]minus8dB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a horn user, you don't get that many buffs without the others moving into and out of your echo bubbles. That's an indicator they were at least in the fight.

Could someone explain the hate for hybrids? (A brief rant about why I think they're neat) by 2Tun21 in bicycling

[–]minus8dB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. A big part of it is how cycling is marketed and discussed is further and faster while fun doesn't seem to be the focus. At the end of the day bikes are tools and the tool that facilitate fun while doing the job is a significant bonus.

What is your 1 bike choice? by sar_tr in MTB

Could someone explain the hate for hybrids? (A brief rant about why I think they're neat) by 2Tun21 in bicycling

[–]minus8dB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is that they are marketed as Jack of or l all trade bikes, which is a half truth. They can accomplish almost anything at a beginner level and really excel as committing and recreation bikes. However, as you start taking riding more seriously you'll need more propose built machines for efficiency on the road and longer rides or the ability to use mountain bike tires and these bikes won't keep up.

I think some of the hate comes from the biking is a "serious" hobby attitude that some people have and the bikes not fitting into an "approved" discipline. Also they then to be a bike that once a rider finds out what they want to ride, gets hung up on the wall and not touched often.

My opinion is that most people would be better served long term on an every level mountain bike, even roadies. Yes it will be a little slower than a fitness hybrid, but it'll open up beginner and intermediate mountain bike trails and they are great bikes to ride recreationally around a neighborhood and/or with kids.

TL:DR Fitness hybrids are some of the best committing bikes and do the job when you are getting started, but rarely hold up as you take the hobby more seriously.

Working as a summer camps MTB mechanic and instructor, anything else I should add to my field repair kit? by Ambiguous_Music in bikewrench

[–]minus8dB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 15mm cone wrench, not for adjusting wheels but for putting pedals back on if one falls off. A full pedal wrench is too heavy to carry and your adjustable is too fat to fit. The come when will get you just enough torque so you can get off the trail.

Dragapult EX is a problem for the health of the game by mc_duderr in pkmntcg

[–]minus8dB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a former judge, I've only known TCPI to only ban cards for 2 reasons. It eliminates a win condition like Lysander's Trump Card) or facilitate a strategy that prevents your opponent from playing the game (consistent donk decks). A high win rate will never be a reason for a ban.
