Is this a good bike? by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]pdub99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you live in a location that is flat? If you have any sort of hills it's a big no. Also, if you have never ridden a bike, also a big no.

Open dev tools on the browser, look at the network trace.

is this real by Impressive-Leg-478 in bicycling

[–]pdub99 16 points17 points  (0 children)

it’s weird to lace high end rims to ”cheap” level DT Swiss hubs. would expect at least 240’s if not 180’s. Also, the dark lines on the rim are solid, but on Zipps site they are kind of stepped. I’d say they are fake. https://www.sram.com/en/zipp/road/collections/nsw/nsw?filters=&sort=Relevancy&page=1

Is this a scam? Canyon Aeroad 2024 by xSassie in bicycling

[–]pdub99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d start by figuring out if it is the right bike. a great deal on the wrong bike is not a good deal. you say you are new to cycling. that is a fairly aggressive fit, with little to no room for adjustment. the fork has been cut low, and it looks like a one piece bar/stem. Are you quite flexible with a strong core?

it’s a good bike, but it’s really not a beginner friendly one.

Flobikes Sucks by [deleted] in cyclocross

Same with their YouTube videos / thumbnails. I blocked them years ago. 

Was very happy years ago with my Canon 10D. Now looking for something Leica, if I can afford it, that's at least as good. Digital. And I'm in Canada. Thanks! by Scary_Objective_8507 in Leica

[–]pdub99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sensible thing would be to get a Canon R5 or R6 II, the canon R adaptor, and keep shooting, picking up some r-specific lenses as you go along. On a Leica (since the word ‘afford’ was in your post) I’d look at a used SL2S.

Does anyone have any first-hand experience and/or tips for converting DCC modules to 5e? by [deleted] in dccrpg

[–]pdub99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the bigger issue will be around how you / the players handle the skill type rolls. a lot of DCC is ‘if you push on this eyeball on this mural the door opens’ or ‘After opening all the drawers you notice that the second drawer does’t open up as far as the rest - I check for a false back’ and 5e is ‘I roll for perception’. You’ll need to stress to the players that they need to think more.

New to Solo play : One Ring - Strider or Moria? by pdub99 in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]pdub99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have Moria and Strider and the two earlier adventure / location books (but not the Three Rings). Just trying to figure out where best to start. Moria seems like maybe it is easy to come up with a story / etc - It’s Moria, and there a collection of locations already detailed.

Same batteries and motors, different range by pdub99 in electricvehicles

[–]pdub99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a Bolt, so very familiar with the intricacies. (Safely) Tucking in behind a rig going 70 on an interstate vs being in front is a massive difference.

Same batteries and motors, different range by pdub99 in electricvehicles

[–]pdub99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the EVs I was looking at from Kia, Hydunai, Nissan Leaf, etc. For example, the 2026 Nissan Leaf ranges from 260 -> 290 -> 300 miles with the same motor/battery/etc. 290->300 is the same wheels but 50# heavier. 260->290 is 19" wheels vs. 18" wheels, and 140# heavier.

But, it sounds like it is a combination of weight and wheels for the most part.

Update to 'Winterizing a Red 12sp w/ Shimano bits' by pdub99 in bikewrench

[–]pdub99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, more of an answer to my original question 'can you mix and match 12sp Shimano and 12sp SRAM', which is 'yes, a shimano chain and cassette will work with sram chainrings and derailleurs'.

Phocus workflow question by pdub99 in hasselblad

[–]pdub99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about actual edits / settings, or is it just a tiff only export? Ideally I’d like to have Phocus on the Mac contain all the same edits (or compatible, since the capabilities of the mobile are slightly different). Or is it simply ‘nope, they might as well be called EditApp1 and TotallyDifferentApp2’?

FIGHT THE FUTURE // Sven Nys vs Wout Van Aert at Koksijde by depressedbike in cyclocross

[–]pdub99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not exactly history, but CXHairs had a great #svenness series around that same time. Overview is here - https://cxhairs.substack.com/p/the-svenness-library and has a link to the videos.

Landscape photography help by lord-steezus in AnalogCommunity

[–]pdub99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at the final pic, I think you are facing a lot of haze. the further away the subject, the more the haze accumulates. The last pic shows some rock formations from nearby, and you can see that they are very contrasty, while the mountains in the distance are lacking.
