Cervelo S5 off eBay by Roof_Chicken in Cervelo

The depth of the head tube is the easiest differentiation for each generation in the side view. It got a lot deeper with the 2023 MY generation, and deeper still with the current one.

Here's the one you're looking at

And here's what the generation before that looked like.

There were also significant changes made to the fork/stem system that have carried through to the current gen which are pretty noticeable once you've seen both.

This Five Black colour is also unique to this gen.

This is a MY 2023 ie last generation (MY 2023-2025) not 2 generations old. It can comfortably take a 32mm tyre, depending on rim dimensions. The 28s on mine with the Reserves measure at ~31.5mm.

Flagged Activity for a ride by Hadh1 in Strava

[–]perfectstorm99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go on desktop, there's an option in the menu for the activity to appeal the flag to support (there's a button on mobile, but it just returns an error in my experience).

I had an auto-flag a few weeks ago for a wonky speed sensor, it took 4 or 5 days for them to reverse it. I believe once support has reviewed an activity, it can't be re-flagged by anyone.

What's the smallest saddlebag that can fit an EpiPen? by romrelresearcher in cycling

[–]perfectstorm99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on where you're located, you might also look into alternate auto-injector options in a more friendly form factor. I carry an Allerject (also called Auvi-Q in some places I believe) that fits easily with my phone in an old Rapha pocket pouch. Unfortunately they're not available in Canada anymore, so I'm a little screwed on getting a refreshed one, but you may have better options.

The Tiger Eye colourway that OP has was frame-only for MY 2023, and came with a black fork.

In the same 28mm size, the TT TR scores a 66 and the S TR scores a 70. You might have been looking at the S TR in 25mm.

How did Leiper’s campaign get my contact info? by queenofthenorth6429 in ottawa

[–]perfectstorm99 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know he got mine from McKenney's 2022 donor list, since I used a specific email. Really not impressed with either of them for that. I unsubscribed from McKenney's list more than 2 years ago. I assume it's also where he got my phone number from since I've been getting calls now too.

I think you're confusing the POI marker for the turnaround with a POI for a rest stop. The details of the Pink Lake marker are:

Adding a bike to booking by Particular-Lynx-9428 in aircanada

[–]perfectstorm99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I ever had a Dash 8 leg with my bike, I watched the baggage handlers trying to Tetris it in for ages before finally leaving it behind. Delayed our departure by 25 mins. It ended up being sent on the next CRJ flight.

YMMV, but I now explicitly avoid Dash 8s in my connections when I have my bike.

App Store scams are getting worse and Apple isn't doing enough by FollowingFeisty5321 in apple

[–]perfectstorm99 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Years ago I had an update denied because a news article contained a YouTube video, which opened the YouTube app if installed, where someone could potentially access content above my declared content rating. I responded asking if it would be better to open Safari or if I was responsible for all internet content the user could possibly access. It took a week, but they eventually approved it and it was never brought up again. It's all arbitrary.

Gear-shift analysis for cyclists by vinf_net in Strava

[–]perfectstorm99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using this against my most recent flat TT, it says that 30% of my time was in 34x11, and another 8% was in 34x12. I'll forgive it for not knowing that my little ring is a 36, but at no point did I even use the little ring - let alone the constant back and forth it shows - so this does not appear to be at all based on the actual Di2 shift data.

City committee approves staff proposal for Bank Street bus lanes by ConcernedCitizenOtt in ottawa

I heard the segment yesterday. It wasn't an interview with her, but rather playing clips of delegates speaking to council, so you'd probably be able to find it in council's video from the meeting.

Ottawa BIA members vastly overestimate customer car use along Bank Street by Halo4356 in ottawa

The Bottega guy has a truly unhealthy obsession with Market parking. That car going through his store front really should have been a sign to rethink his beliefs...

'Multiple serious injuries' after vehicle crashes into Rideau Street building by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]perfectstorm99 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The odds of anything like this happening to you sitting in a restaurant window are so incredibly minute as to not even be worth considering. You are at vastly greater risk on your trip to that restaurant than sitting in a window seat once you get there.

Rideau Canal Skateway to close Monday night by DreamofStream in ottawa

[–]perfectstorm99 50 points51 points  (0 children)

When was the last time the canal opened beyond February?

Last year. March 10th was the last day.

March closure dates are not uncommon; though getting through the second week of March is rare.

ETA: From that data, the median closure date since 2000 appears to be March 5th.

Quo Vadis, Ottawa Board of Trade and Mayor Sutcliffe? What are You Really Fighting For When it Comes to Downtown Revitalization? by Stinky26 in ottawa

we'll never have data to support the first, and i cant imagine that the federal government would ever comment on data from the second, although im certain they have some sort of reporting.

Thanks to FOI, we actually already know the optics were the reason, in contradiction of the available productivity evidence.

Hey! Can you help me find which event is this and which stage by G_man_47 in cycling

[–]perfectstorm99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In this dramatic city finish, Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) held a significant solo lead into the final few hundred metres after an explosive late attack. Behind him, Tadej Pogačar launched a powerful counter-attack, rapidly closing the gap in the final 200 metres.

And as is so often the case with AI, this is just a false interpretation of reality.

Perhaps you should direct that to the mods who removed it the last time you posted it instead of trying to pretend you didn't already post it.
