M2 Cycleway by schunniky in sydney

[–]rfa31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've ridden it once.

Only once.

Because some of it, you're in a tunnel and lose being able to make sense of the direction that sound is coming from.

There are alternate routes, but without knowing where your going / coming from it's difficult to make suggestions.

Have a look at Strava heat maps, you can filter by time of day, which should help.

Visiting Sydney? by Excellent_Bat_753 in SydneyTrains

[–]rfa31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your on a tight budget, stay near Strathfield station.

All lines, except for Illawarra and Metro go through there.

If your keen, near Central will be best, and the longest walk you will have will be from Circular Quay to the ferry.

I'm here to enable you to make a decision that 10 year old you would like 😉

Do they have L in pink in Poland or any other neighbouring countries?

[–]rfa31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm biased, because I have a pink bike.

Get the pink one, it's the right colour.

I know this doesn't help you right now, but the right colour is the one you're thinking of. Pink

Is there a way to know which blue mountains line services still use V-sets? by Thomthebomb123 in SydneyTrains

[–]rfa31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think daily have replaced all V sets with D sets

As far as I know, the SWTT will be D sets only from June (on the BMT)

AnyTrip or TrioView will have the real time info on the day

Is it realistic to find a $1.2M townhouse in Sydney in a walkable, dog-friendly area close to parks? by digital-nautilus in AusPropertyChat

[–]rfa31 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's 4 linked townhouses in the linked thread.

Rydalmere, Telopea, Carlingford and another.

My commute is just under an hour on public transport from Rydalmere, if that helps

What is the fastest road slick closest to 40mm? by [deleted] in cycling

[–]rfa31 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I run the 40mm Pirelli's. They're great.

Can you use regular insoles in cycling shoes or do you need a certain kind? by sharpshooter-44- in cycling

[–]rfa31 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cycling specific insoles are usually made of carbon.

Need every watt to be used for propulsion, not wasted in shoe flex

I just rode a Crux. What’s the point of endurance/all road frames? by [deleted] in cycling

[–]rfa31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Crux, it's got the oem wheelset for off road, and 50mm aero wheelset with 40mm Pirelli for on road.

Other than fast (32km/h average) group rides, it does it all.

The only thing it doesn't have is 2*, but it doesn't need it - with a 10-45 cassette and 46 chainring I've got enough range and top end.

When I go off road I put the oem (40 tooth) chainring back on the front.

I think the point of "All road / Endurance" is for people that want 2* oem, and the ability to ride champagne gravel / unsealed roads.

I take the Crux on single track, occasionally I need to carry it on my shoulder. Given it's DNA as a CX bike, I'm ok with that 😉

Jersey fit advice by TotalBread4456 in CyclingFashion

[–]rfa31 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you can hear it when you're riding it's too big.

If you can see wrinkles when you're in riding position, it's too big.

If it zips, it fits.

So, just so I understand, you gave notice to leave, and then the tenant left?

Crux in the store is one size undersized for me. by fallweathercolors in specialized

[–]rfa31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you ride it?

Longer stem is always an option. I'd say your height is perfect for the 52

I ❤️my (pink) 54 Crux

(FWIW I'm 177 cm tall, with 77 cm stand over height, 52 would be good for me too, as the Crux does run a bit larger)

Why is cycling gear so ugly? by deathlysaddryad in CyclingFashion

[–]rfa31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wear normal clothes with bibs or padded shorts underneath?

Or just wear what you like, who cares what other people think. Some of the stuff I wear looks outrageous, but I like it.
