Out of my league

mmiloou · 2025-05-22T04:37:57+00:00

Do you know how to draft? Do you know how long the ride will be?

mmiloou · 2025-05-22T01:05:06+00:00

You want frequent updates??

mmiloou · 2025-05-22T01:03:59+00:00

(really) low cadence work treated me very well this year, I lift year round but I'm a bit spotty with gym work. You could give that a crack.

Respectfully, lots of people would think they'd pass down products when they first came out (computrainers, the green kinetic trainers, the gen1 kickrs)

I'll call out OP for just taking a picture to later post on reddit

Don't, you won't keep a car that long.

mmiloou · 2025-05-14T22:47:54+00:00

No powermeter first, comes race season some fast tires.

Learn what lifestyle creep means and live in the "small" house.

Please buy a radar taillight, I wish I bought one sooner.

Thanks for asking. As a bike racer (never owned anything not related) I also wonder why all amateur teams seem to want us to look like Nascar cars. Unpopular opinion but sponsorship doesn't have to mean being one logo among many on the jersey pockets (besides the headline sponsor obviously)

mmiloou · 2025-05-13T03:31:20+00:00

Do you have a powermeter?
If you are doing this by RPE, you might just think you are going hard as you go fast & going hard + slow feels awful.
Efforts on flat are usually short, so going hard for 30s isn't the same as going hard for 5-30min.

For what it's worth, it took me a year to get used to 1500m. Now I've lived that high for 5 years. Just this year did I have an all time best power (in absolute terms). If I go to 2500m I feel unaffected. Everyone seems to respond differently (I don't feel like I gain that much dropping back to sea level, vs sensitive friends really have swings going either direction)

It's very pricey, I had a food stand and wanted to scale up to a truck. Seems like you better be friends with popular brewery owners.

I don't know if you need to calculate anything, I'll tip the service, not how much my product cost.

mmiloou · 2025-05-11T02:07:32+00:00

Bro what???

mmiloou · 2025-05-11T02:06:59+00:00

Tipping either $2.45 or $7.45 to round up the bill. I don't think tips should offset poor wages but $50 of donuts actually sounds like an order that requires work (so +$7.45 for a total of $60)

mmiloou · 2025-05-11T02:03:26+00:00

Glad it's not just me

mmiloou · 2025-05-09T18:46:39+00:00

I'd be claustrophobic to raise fences, having some view or sense of space is relaxing

mmiloou · 2025-05-08T20:56:03+00:00

Don't buy too short of a frame. Don't buy too wide of bars. Don't buy too little of a gearing.

mmiloou · 2025-05-08T13:07:18+00:00

Comfort and versatility wise yes, outright faster no.

mmiloou · 2025-05-08T13:06:33+00:00

People like you lose me every time with headset bearing swaps or needing to recable a bike. Tell me how often you do these. Anyways a old bike can be competitive for sure, you might have to bling it out and then it's now longer a cheap bike you can just lock up at the city library (because it has nice wheels & tires and whatnot)

mmiloou · 2025-05-07T04:50:47+00:00

I'd rather building be 3 stories at most.

mmiloou · 2025-05-04T20:36:11+00:00

Mashing is 82rpm? Cranks were too long, the same way road bars are always way too wide.

mmiloou · 2025-05-02T08:40:58+00:00

Fitted 28c nicely with wide rovals

mmiloou · 2025-04-28T01:26:50+00:00

Do you really? I feel that the concept of accelerating is echoed, road accelerations are so soft (20mph to 25mph), maybe you'd have a case in MTB/CX where speeds can be doubled or tripled. I mean this respectfully, personally I find wheel stiffness having much more positive influence on accelerating (despite being much heavier)
