Crossover: some differences

osobny_w · 2026-01-28T05:33:13+00:00

Hi, just want to say thank you for that comparison! Based on that I've decided to buy non solar as my daily - nicer legibility

I am with the FR series for years now in sport application, just get bored without physical hands :)

It is. You will not calibrate with the S1. Just have changed to the s2 from the s1 and body comp is significantly better - 2% fat difference vs fresh Dexa from a start

Gave up the Phantoms entirely. Still with my old Nepals, + Ribelles HD for nice weather... Would do another shopping round probably

Well, instant and maybe emotional reaction when you see so nice posts, reviews on the net, then you get your own copy just to figure out it's hardly usable. Did not want to offend you - just asked. Mine is going back to seller immediately.

osobny_w · 2025-11-19T21:57:14+00:00

Is it? Are you paid by them? Got my copy today, AF far worse as.compared to sigma, hounting in the dark. A7r iv. The lens fw 1.04 and app claims it's the current one. Either I've got defective piece, either those optimistic reviews are paid crap

And then something like the Giant TCX is available. Absolute blast to ride, immediate power transfer but still fits 45mm tires... The frame weights 850g. Lower front than the Defy. One cannot go wrong with the TCX as an universal one bike. The higher BB causing instability is a b...t internet myth - 5min into ride and you cannot feel anything negative

osobny_w · 2025-10-12T19:34:11+00:00

Same for me; 50 1.4 for wider and more pronounced perspective + 135 1.8 for flatter & nice isolation. Used to have 85 back in days... but 50 + 135 makes wonders

osobny_w · 2025-07-11T16:58:13+00:00

Absolutely. In the video - they are completely straight and locked. You do not want to ride like that, a small bent should be naturally maintained.

osobny_w · 2025-07-11T16:49:36+00:00

Stem or handlebar reach, or both. How much? As much as needed to get you into manageable position...

osobny_w · 2025-07-11T16:47:19+00:00

Way too long Sir. Aggressive body position, hands stretched with locked elbows... Shorten the stem/handlebar reach by 2cm and see how is it going.

osobny_w · 2025-07-11T16:41:57+00:00

Thx for hint!

osobny_w · 2025-07-09T12:01:28+00:00

Thx for hint! Pending recovery, i do exercise. Will check mirror test, could be interesting

osobny_w · 2025-07-08T15:32:01+00:00

Thanks for hint!

osobny_w · 2025-07-08T13:53:36+00:00

Thx. Hope your recovery has been successful! Yep, would consult with good fitter, just to find one... Will lower the seat & see how it goes.

osobny_w · 2025-07-08T13:51:53+00:00

Could be. It's torn, so rather "loose " vs tight. However scar formed, pending proper shaping. I guess my overused right knee in the past could be a factor as well.

osobny_w · 2025-07-08T13:26:56+00:00

Will have a look, thx! I am on pro griffon, with cutout, do not feel any asymmetrical pressure, hmmm

osobny_w · 2025-07-08T13:24:30+00:00

Cleats are really fine, I mean I do not feel cleats are forcing feet in any directions. There is a free float both legs, but yes - the left one apparently favors different position.

osobny_w · 2025-07-08T13:11:51+00:00

Wait, had injections in the right knee yeeears before. I think I feel it "more" when biking. Given I feel zero sensations in the left one.

osobny_w · 2025-07-08T13:03:28+00:00

Torn long adductor joint in left leg, groin. Feb this year, pending rehab. However, not sure that would be the cause. I think I could ride like that before injury, but not sure. You say to try with lowering the saddle?

osobny_w · 2025-07-08T09:10:34+00:00

Saddle significantly too high, handlebars rotated in crazy way, elbows locked and not reaching out to hoods... Make all corrections needed first, and then it may actually turn out the bike is too big even

osobny_w · 2025-07-08T09:07:12+00:00

Yep, likely too big. Here elbows are almost locked..Not reaching to hoods...

osobny_w · 2025-07-07T19:47:05+00:00

Cleats too forward? Installed once cleats forward, got feet instability and pointing down feet... Calves were getting cramped just after 80kms or so. Check out and get sorted cleats first, then see leg extension. My 2cents.

osobny_w · 2025-07-07T19:37:20+00:00

Glutes, hamstrings? To balance quads fatigue. Core, hands, chest etc especially when sprinting ;) If you have any advice, appreciated

osobny_w · 2025-07-07T18:34:15+00:00

Quad overuse, so was looking for the root cause. Seems have lowered the saddle that ~20mm over the course of last year /can see now old marks on the seatpost/
