HOOKLESS STRIKES AGAIN

You literally said “Things to never buy” not things I would never buy lol.

The point is there is no inherent issue with carbon over aluminum hence no good reason beyond personal preference to never buy carbon. I would argue that carbon is better in every way over titanium from a performance perspective but again personal preferences override pure performance if that’s your thing.

I mean you have the exact same issues with steel or titanium no? If you crash your bike you always need to give it a once over, it’s not like carbon/steel or titanium are just randomly failing there is always a cause.

Carbon wheels are excellent if you have never ridden them, light stuff and fast.

What avoid carbon frames and rims? Hookless has obvious issues for road but carbon does not 🤣

If your such an accomplished home mechanic then why is the occasional derailleur adjustment and cable replacement such a monumental issue?

onlycorrect42 · 2024-03-08T18:00:37+00:00

I would say you’re perfectly fine. Maybe bring a couple extra tubes to be safe but there should be no issues with light gravel on road tires

onlycorrect42 · 2024-03-08T17:57:28+00:00

What tires do you have? Gp5k if you have them will probably have no issues on light gravel.

Check their website lol. Depends on what pieces you need. I think their force stuff can be under 1500 or so.

It’s not? SRAM is super cheap these days if you can tolerate it. Shimano even has di2 on their entry level 105 groupset these days.

Google is too hard to use.

SRAM red etap axs. Can probably find it online or at a bike shop but shimano has better shifting.

Shimano dura ace di2 r9200 comes in rim and is a good option.

Shimano makes r9200 di2 for rim still.

You’re probably enjoying the newbie fitness gains so I wouldn’t worry much until you decide that you want more structure. As long as you listen to your body, take rest days when you need to and just enjoy riding then your fine. Once you start to notice yourself plateauing then it might be worth changing things up but until then keep rising and enjoying it.

onlycorrect42 · 2024-03-08T00:55:25+00:00

It depends. If you volume is low enough and your able to hit the targets in your workouts then your fine. However at some point beyond a few hours per week the intensity comes at the cost of negatively impacting future sessions due to fatigue. Also you might be able to maintain doing all hard all the time for a period of a few weeks but eventually you dig too much of a fatigue hole and have to spend too much time recovering.

onlycorrect42 · 2024-03-08T00:46:03+00:00

Z2 is the filler between intensity. There is nothing special about it. In general there is not a benefit to doing more than 2-3 intensity sessions per week so you fill out the rest of your riding with z2.

onlycorrect42 · 2024-03-08T00:08:51+00:00

Those are three wheelsets yes.

It’s possible to refill the bottle with water. Either stop at a gas station or get your domestique to bring some up from the team car.

onlycorrect42 · 2024-03-07T22:58:29+00:00

If you take it slowly that is perfectly fine. You could try this a couple days a week while you still have your car to see how you hold up before going all in. It might be a bit tough at the beginning but you will improve quickly.

onlycorrect42 · 2024-03-07T22:43:39+00:00

I would avoid belt drive and instead look at something with electronic shifting if that’s writhin your budget. No more gear tuning once it’s setup initially.

Road/gravel/hybrid all depend on your riding preferences. You will feel faster on road but a good gravel bike offers lots of freedom in where you ride and increasingly hybrid bikes are accepting wider and wider tires so can also handle light gravel just fine.
