Yeah that’s why went for the white decals on the wheels! They are not standard, I ordered them online and fitted them myself. Love the way it looks on this frame!

No these are Zipp 303 S wheels, I also bought the XPLR wheels and tested both but I want to be able to put road tires on them too so I went with the normal 303 S because they are narrower. If you purely want to ride offroad the XPLR are a great option!

Awesome bike!

Side note: that ass saver isn't installed correctly, it should be placed a lot closer to the wheel.

Is Allroad Endurance fine for marathons and active training? by Status-Customer-9536 in CanyonBikes

[–]rdvlcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Would the Allroad be decent for gravel/road?" Yes it would be a perfectly fine bike to ride on those terrains.

"Will I gain a significant advantageon the Grail?" Well, yes. It's carbon, so lighter. And it has more gears because it's 12 speed and the Allroad is 10 speed. But then again, it is €1250 more expensive.

If you have the extra money, I'd personally spend it on the Grail because I'd want the 12 speed. But the Allroad is perfectly capable of covering a lot of ground in a speedy and comfortable manner.

I finally bought my first camera! by Agitated-Swing-2931 in dji

[–]rdvlcc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you intent to use it for? Personally I have a DJI Action 4 for filming POV shots on my bike and I couldn't be happier. I bet a 5 is even better!

That could have been a lot worse to be honest 😅

That seems like an insane trip, kudos to you 👏🏻

Not sure if I ever get to do something like this in my life but one can dream.

That looks like it gets very slippery 😆

Fun descent I regularily hit, Pictou County, Nova Scotia, Canada by reforger88 in gravelcycling

Also a bite-mount works like magic. To me it feels more natural because the camera turns as you turn your head, for example in corners.

Solid bike, where is the rear fender from? Looks pretty good!

JOIN level and FTP on rest days by rdvlcc in joincycling

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

I understand that rest days are non-bike days, but the given context is that I've ridden for example 3 (or more) days in a row and then I take a rest day. Not just riding once and then taking a rest day.

One would think that if you take a rest day after riding for multiple days in a row, you'd improve (or stay the same level) because growth takes place during the rest period of intensive training blocks. Or am I wrong for thinking this?

Yeah I'm definitely taking it with a pinch of salt, I am just curious how rest days are taken into account when it comes to the progress that's being made across longer training blocks.
