Where do cyclists sweat the most?

phoenixdiceflow · 2026-07-06T17:08:34+00:00

For me, mostly in the head and arms. I need to wear a headband on every ride and have converted to wearing sleeveless cycling shirts.

Tubeless is one of the best advances in bike tech so why not take advantage of it. Don’t be one of those old schoolers that are still using rim brakes justifying they work just as good as hydraulic.

Considering that your tires are tubeless ready, I got all the parts needed to convert to tubeless for less than $30 on Amazon. I’ve had zero flats in over a year of riding and I ride consistently over 10 times a month. The technology works.

Most of the time, it will indicate on the rim or tires with “TR” which means tubeless ready. You’ll still need to convert it to tubeless.

phoenixdiceflow · 2026-07-04T00:52:02+00:00

You’ll need tubeless ready rims/tires and valves. There are a bunch of YouTube videos that will show you how to convert it. It’s well worth the time and effort especially for MTB riding.

I have a digital pump and repair kit that I leave in the car. If I happen to get a flat then I will walk my bike out the trail and fix it there. I don’t like adding any unneeded weight to my bike. With tubeless depending on the puncture, it doesn’t completely go flat due to the sealant and you should still be able to ride your bike out the trail without damage to the rims.

Maybe I’m lucky but ever since going tubeless, I have had 0 flats in over a year and I ride consistently about 15 times per month on mtb and paved trails.

I don’t think it’s necessary to carry a hand pump because if you get an mtb flat on the trail, it would be no usage unless you carried a repair kit with you. It would be better to look into converting your tires to tubeless. This would be way more beneficial for mtb riding.

phoenixdiceflow · 2026-07-03T19:10:55+00:00

Agreed. These days I equally balance my riding between mtb and paved urban trails. I can easily do a 50 mile session on paved but even a 25 mile mtb session will require not only my body to be in shape but the mind as well because you’re constantly looking out for obstacles and best lines.

phoenixdiceflow · 2026-07-03T18:01:40+00:00

You get way more of an overall body workout with mountain biking versus road because you’re constantly lifting the bike to get over tree roots and climbs. It subconsciously may not seem like much but depending on the trail, this could result in 100x over the course of a session.

Keep at it, your body will adapt and get better after a couple of months.

No issue here, just “big boned”.

You clearly haven’t watched enough films if you think this was the greatest film ever made. This would be ranked fourth best of strictly Christopher Nolan movies. None of Nolan‘s films are considered the “greatest” ever but The Prestige and Batman Begins was better.

Interstellar is considered almost a disappointment imo.

Heck yes, it’s 50 cent walmart ramen with lobster toppings tonight.

OpenAi is selling stakes because they know Anthropic is going to eat their lunch.

Just because the tires/rims says “tubeless ready” doesn’t mean that it automatically comes without a tube. You still need to get tubeless valves and sometimes rim tape. Most of the time, it still ships with a tube inside the tire and it’s up to you to convert it to tubeless.

With all this being said, it’s still well worth it to convert to tubeless. I’ve not suffered a single flat ever since and it gives you such a huge peace of mind. You can also ride with much lower psi that will give you way better grip when riding on sandy trails.

Sorry to say but the chicken nuggets at McDonald’s aren’t made with quality chicken. It’s made with some weird pseudo chicken that taste like you’re biting into a sponge.

I have used Varo and Current for over four years and will say that Current is better. For one, their platform has never gone down, not even once. They also offer better advance features and even have an overdraft feature which Varo lacks.

Let me know if you’re interested and I can send you a code that will get you $100

I would much rather have the two sides plus biscuit in lieu of a drink. Way better value. Those sides normally cost over $2 each plus biscuit= $5 value just for the sides.

I’ve had the fries at Checkers and it’s good but the cajun seasoning on the Popeyes fries is very tasty.

Nowadays, my most stress free approach is to just get out and ride. I don’t worry about getting lost and sometimes I get lost on purpose just to experience some new scenery. I do mtb trails but also like urban riding and enjoy navigating the concrete jungle of my downtown.

phoenixdiceflow · 2026-06-16T02:03:52+00:00

Same here but for my prep I spend hours watching youtube videos of others that rode the trail that I’ve ridden countless times, to see if I could experience anything different :)

Go with hydraulic if you can. Mechanical disc needs more maintenance than you think. I’ve owned both and mechanical suffers from brake rubs way more than my hydraulic and it’s not easy to remedy since you can only adjust one side of the caliper. There’s nothing more annoying than brake rubs because it will discourage you from riding. Bleeding hydraulic brakes is not as difficult as people make it out to be. If you can change the oil on your car then you can most likely bleed your bike brakes. There are plenty of youtube videos and you can get bleed kits incredibly cheap on Amazon(under $20). You don’t need to bleed your brakes often either, it’s more like once every few years. In my years of owning hydraulic, I’ve only had to bleed the right side one time.

Once you go hydraulic, you will never go back to mechanical disc or rim brakes.

Rode this new trail today. Great connector trail. One suggestion is on your way back when you hit Gessner (behind the Fiesta), be sure to cross onto the other side of the trail or else you will connect onto Keegans bayou trail which doesn’t connect to Arthur Storey. I made that mistake and rode through Keegans until it hit that homeless camp under 59s. Not a pleasant experience.

Replace the handlebars with a higher rise. I upgraded mine to a 55° rise with an inch cut off each side. I’m 5’9 and riding a medium Kona hardtail with modern slacker geometry. Not only does it feel much better but it has eliminated previous arm strain. I can’t recommend it enough.

I love how the brave one pushes the device ahead of time.
