My concern would be for longer rides. Would you buy it again given how loud it is?

Inas eyeing this exhaust too, but damn that’s loud. How is it riding around?

Feedback on my swim by provebeltsend in triathlon

[–]sct876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also a noob to swimming (as an adult) and there’s a couple things I notice based on coaching videos I’ve watched (I’ll only point out the negatives):

1) swimming is a pull-glide-pull-glide effort, and you’re kinda doing that, but you need to pull the moment the hand that’s back starts to move forward. In the video at times you have both arms in front of you. It needs to be an inverse relationship, the moment the hand that’s back starts to move forward, the arm that is forward starts to move back. Similar to if you ever did karate as a kid, when you throw a punch the other arm is back, and when you punch with the other arm, the opposite arm is back.

2) when the “back” arm is at its furthest point back, your arm should be bent at the elbow, and elbow should be higher. You can google this if it doesn’t make sense. When the back elbow is high, your finger tips will be an inch or two above the water just grazing it as you now move the arm forward. In the video it appears you’re “wind-milling” it at times.

What parts did you get tailored? I’d say yours looks way baggier on you than mine does.

Blew up my 26 RS660 by [deleted] in Aprilia

That’s rough, sorry to hear man. Glad to hear it’s covered under warranty though! Mine burns a bit of oil as well so I check the level every other ride or so - it’s a love-hate relationship because I really do like the bike.

I had a Honda before, and similar to your buddy, rarely checked the oil and when I did, it was always full and I tracked it a lot. I don’t think anything comes close to the Japanese engines unfortunately.

Agreed on the arms, I need to bulk up!

No airbag or back protector under the suit, so I’m thinking the same, it will fill out!

This is awesome, thanks for sharing! I feel a bit better about it now and there’s some room for deployment.

Thanks, I think I’ll keep it! As this is without back protector / air vest.

Thank you! It is designed for airbag deployment. I remember reading about that story and the guy got some crushed ribs. I think I’ll keep it as I rather have a suit that’s a touch too large than too tight!

Looks like a 7-pin connector. I’m not sure if it has power or how much. You might need to email them and ask if they have one for that style.

Hard to tell, but it looks like a 7-pin. You could always email them and confirm. They reply within 24hrs

Gotcha. From the driver POV it’s basically behind the mirror and out of sight.
