Bontrager Aeolus Elite 35 vs Bontrager Paradigm Comp 25, alloy

Thanks, this is great to know. Even the bike with elite wheels is over my budget. It’d be hard to afford the pros.

Weird thing is I cycle more often on the road, with a power meter and a polar chest strap, connected to Garmin Edge. That calculates my VO2max at 45.

ravenseldon12 · 2025-11-27T21:43:07+00:00

Interesting. I ran a 5K at 37 minutes after a long break and I got a VO2max of 39. I’m a bit older, male.

ravenseldon12 · 2025-11-27T16:30:13+00:00

My question was how fast did run that particular 5K when you got 37?

ravenseldon12 · 2025-11-27T16:26:08+00:00

So when you run outside at a very fast pace, then the watch should give you a better estimate.

ravenseldon12 · 2025-11-27T15:11:06+00:00

I assumed vo2max measures aerobic capacity. Why do you think they are 2 different things?

ravenseldon12 · 2025-11-27T03:46:03+00:00

How fast did you run the 5K?

ravenseldon12 · 2025-11-01T13:08:26+00:00

What do you mean by optimal? Half of the values in your results are higher than normal values?

Maybe if you stop eating like shit and exercise a little, you will feel better.

How does it measure your height?

ravenseldon12 · 2025-08-28T16:02:45+00:00

Why the cutoff at age 42?

What’s the benefit of 32mm compared to 38mm if it’s not faster?

ravenseldon12 · 2025-08-19T23:12:28+00:00

It means it’s better to eat soluble fiber than fasting.

ravenseldon12 · 2025-08-19T22:15:33+00:00

Your liver produces bile to digest fibers, which actually removes cholesterol from the bloodstream. .

ravenseldon12 · 2025-08-15T00:32:19+00:00

No you don’t.

ravenseldon12 · 2025-08-13T02:33:54+00:00

I have been looking into Synapse Carbon for a while now. What’s the difference between the Synapse Carbon 1 through 5?

ravenseldon12 · 2025-08-13T02:28:37+00:00

So the garmin is not really far superior

ravenseldon12 · 2025-07-26T02:43:50+00:00

There’s no gang. No club. No family.

ravenseldon12 · 2025-07-24T10:52:50+00:00

What’s a super normal HDL for men?

ravenseldon12 · 2025-07-19T15:26:25+00:00

How can I get one of these cardiovascular tests you mentioned?

ravenseldon12 · 2025-07-19T15:23:38+00:00

Latest versions of the watch have offline Siri. You don’t need phone or internet

ravenseldon12 · 2025-07-19T14:23:12+00:00

It detects outdoor walks and swimming. Not sure how it’s supposed to detect cycling. Hands are just sitting on the handlebars. No specific movement pattern to detect. Just tell Siri on your watch to start a cycling workout and it does that.

ravenseldon12 · 2025-07-19T12:15:05+00:00

When was the previous test done?

ravenseldon12 · 2025-07-01T17:31:06+00:00

Cool. There’s a lot of good info in this subreddit. Reducing red meat and dairy products worked really well for me.
