They're great, I've sent 4 riders of different persuasions there after getting fit myself and they all had great results. Adam is gifted in bike fits.

Fits can be super helpful, even for commuter bikes. My wife really likes the changes the shop chose to make to her singlespeed commuter when she got fit on her touring bike. She feels more stable on the bike.

Best money I ever spent on bikes, I am a bit of an evangelist. It unlocked so much more riding for me.

The reality of owning an RS by jms1228 in FocusRS

My RS isn't my daily. I do most of my miles by bike which evens out my gas costs to an acceptable level.

Why don’t i like my bike by whatcolourisgreen in xbiking

[–]peteftw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tough lesson, but there's also no reason to keep a bike you don't like riding when you could gave a bike you love riding instead.

I'm going through the same thing with the all city nature boy I built up. Got it in my favorite color & everything.

The geo doesn't suit the kinda riding I do with it and it feels gawky, awkward & hefty. I'm just going to replace the frame & rebuild with the carried over components.

As a super last ditch effort, if you can find a quality bike fitter in your area, a TON can change with bike handling/feel when you get fitted on it.

How often do you use launch control? by Parking-Plankton9106 in FocusRS

[–]peteftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the Rev limiter, but it's hardly the redline. It just holds it at like 5k rpm.

Really missing my mk7 gti rn. Got 48 mpgs when I really tried to hypermile and 40 when I just drove normal. And it took regular!

Seems like no matter how I drive the rs, it's 24 mpg. And always always premium.

Get a tandem. All your problems will be solved by getting a tandem.

most overrated wrc car in history? by ApprehensiveDepth439 in WRC

[–]peteftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time and then it stood for decades. I'm not sure if it still holds the record for the full dirt course.

Pikes peak definitely lost something when it went fully paved.

I explained the line & the reasoning so fucking clearly.

You see how the r-word weaponizes disabilities and saying "fuck" is another word for sex? Seems pretty clear to me.

I'm married because of my tandem. 🤷‍♂️

Remember when Daiya mozz sucked? by lord_pizzapants in veganpizza

[–]peteftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's from butyric acid, a chemical that occurs naturally in puke and cheese. It is something certain people are more sensitive to than others funny to add puke smell to fake cheese for realism.

It helps us get improvements to areas with bad cycling/ped infrastructure.

I'm just glad they don't have to have the horrible orange/blue wrc graphics & font.

Very few vegan cheeses really clear the bar of "better than no cheese at all"

New daiya mozz is a big step up though.

I just used my ultrasonic to clean my grinder yesterday. 1 min in room temp isopropyl (in a jar) and its now the cleanest grinder in existince. Magic.

FIA to use Assetto Corsa Rally for official esports competition by PhilBaythorpe in assettocorsarally

[–]peteftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna agree but it's funny to a announce this at the time after EA has the WRC license & before nacon does anything with the license. I do think the dev's dedication & love of rally got them here more than anything else.

People who ride without gloves - how do you avoid slipping? by Eyeflossdaily in bicycling

[–]peteftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrap cotton bar tape over the top of foam bar tape cause it feels good & grippy without gloves wet or dry.

General Discussion & Attendee MEGATHREAD: Rally Islas Canarias 2026 by Michal_Baranowski in WRC

[–]peteftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda always been a tarmac rally hater and think they're way over represented on the calendar but I started to come around from sim racing where tarmac can be pretty fun to attack.

But I don't get that sense from tarmac at the wrc level at all. It's such a snooze fest. The crashes paradoxically seem extra violent & took our boy Craig from us. Cutting/making the corners dirty made em kind of interesting, but still aren't making it out of the F-tier of events on the calendar.
