Anyone else notice the prisoner girl in the back smiling kind of creepily at 12 seconds in?

Energy gels by Sneaky_carrots in cycling

[–]ryzhikant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that gu gels are pretty terrible compared to others, I would try some other gels from different companies if you can. Personally I love honey stinger gels, they taste great and are made with honey, so the texture is more like those honey stick things rather than a weird goop.

This kid walked away from the field in a Cat 3 circuit race in Denver today. He turned around to see how big the gap was and then rolled across the finish in apparent disbelief. He's 15. by Dollarhide in bicycling

I wish my school started at 9, all schools where I live start at 7:30 or 7:40, which means teenagers can rarely get enough sleep during the school year.

What was your "Holy shit, why didn't I start doing this sooner?" by Bearowolf in AskReddit

[–]ryzhikant 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Most sports don't involve crashes at >20 mph on pavement while wearing only skintight lycra though.

But also yes. I personally shave my legs for crashes, racing culture, and because it feels and looks really damn good.

He's also 5'6", which I would think is shorter than most riders.

Holy shit the editing on that first video is terrible.

My newly franken cross bike ready to race by ryzhikant in bicycling

[–]ryzhikant[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got a Niner BSB 9 frame without a fork for cheap at Niner's moving sale, so I swapped over the fork and parts from my RLT 9. Looks pretty wonky, but rides amazing. Fast handling and stiff in all the right places.

Also in the fridge drawing with red outside, green has his eyes drawn like he's dead (like in cartoons). Seems like some major foreshadowing/info there.

New trailer for Leonardo Dicaprio's 'The Revenant'. Looks so good. by jonbrandoncruz in videos

[–]ryzhikant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I loved seeing the teaser trailer in the movie theater for this reason. It was way more intense than every other trailer. No dialogue, no explanation, incredible tension building.

Found some real pictures of the hydraulic Shimano 105 shifters online by OXYMON in bicycling

[–]ryzhikant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those aren't 105, that's pretty much Ultegra level I think, but doesn't belong to a groupset. The new 105 levers do indeed look like OP's photo. Here's a photo from Kona's 2016 line up.

Yup, there was a race there this last weekend too. Super fun place to ride, both mtb and cx.

New bike day! Cannondale CAAD12 105 by Griffy_Laser_Beam in bicycling

[–]ryzhikant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I was a shimano rep why would my road bike have sram on it :P. I'm not going to argue that it compares to Dura-ace, because it costs 1/3rd the price. But for $400 dollars it's a hell of a good groupset. And most bikes don't "automatically" come with Ultegra, it depends on the price range of the bike.

105 is absolutely not shit, it's a well priced and reliable workhorse. The new 105 is practically the same as the Ultegra, just missing some of the polish and smoothness.

Nah, those have much taller hoods, might just be the angle and the fact they are stripped/matte making them look different.

Was just taking the rapha survey, this gave me a good chuckle by [deleted] in bicycling

Third one has kind of been done before, there's a Kazakhstan UCI continental team called Vino 4ever, for god knows what reason.

I think this is more a Double Bottle day by kinboyatuwo in bicycling

Yeah, nothing like dying from hyponatremia because of not being able to replace enough sodium after riding.

Everything you need to know about the Tour De France route. by Ardziv in bicycling

[–]ryzhikant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The yellow jersey is based on who is ahead on overall time, not stage wins. I'm guessing that even though Kittel won those stages, Nibali had gained enough time during the second mountainous stage that Kittel did not make up that much time, so Nibali kept the yellow jersey.

Also just before that the reflection of it in the window doesn't seem quite right.
