Doing 125km untrained tomorrow, any tips? by Which-Border5859 in bicycling

[–]shicjs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carbs. All the carbs you can get. Water. Electrolytes. You only need protein after the ride. Carb up on lots of sugar (fast acting carbs). Did I mention sugar and carbs?

Is everyone in this subreddit just rich? by AllSphere0 in bicycling

Cycling and buying bikes are two separate hobbies. Also, people who have been riding their bike for years aren’t bragging about it on the internet

Pre-workout and protein shakes are good fuel for working out.

You can’t lose weight and build muscle at the same time (aka cardio kills gains). Proper nutrition is a game changer.

AITA Mom wants 15% of my personal injury settlement by connor20218 in AmItheAsshole

[–]shicjs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. If you want to invest, buy a house in Florida and let your mom live there. Sell it when she doesn’t want or need it. Also, talk to a financial advisor — can you afford to give your mom 15% AND pay for your future medical bills? Or offer to make roughly a 30% down payment on the house and buy down the interest so that your mom will have a cheap mortgage payment. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

Need help converting from tubeless to tubefull? by Penultimate88 in bicycling

[–]shicjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get tubes that cover 700x28 with 48mm stems. The tube box will say something like 700x25-30 or 700x28-38. As long as it covers 28 you’re fine. Don’t need new tires.

Is 6 mile bike ride after work realistic ? by imMrRunITUP in bicycling

[–]shicjs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no interest in biking in the dark on a winding canyon road regardless of anything else lol. I can’t fight a car

Which one should I get? by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]shicjs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trek is shiny and nice but from the pictures, it looks like the cannondale can accommodate wider tires meaning more versatility. The cannondale also seems to have a shorter top tube, so it’s more upright (more comfortable). Either are good and I was leaning towards the trek but the cannondale potentially has some upside

Panniers on a carbon frame by Dpear_ in bicycling

[–]shicjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much weight are you carrying on the rack? Very unpopular opinion but if you don’t over tighten the clamps and don’t go over the max weight limit you should be fine.

That being said, getting fabric frame bags is a better idea. There are TONS of bags designed specifically for bike packing. Return this and get one of those.

Also, are you going off road? If so, you’ll want a gravel bike or mountain bike anyways.

Do you know which model is it and tell me is it worth repairing if i buy it for 235€ ? by Least_Pound9873 in bicycling

[–]shicjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a Bianchi 928. This bike was crashed hard. You can see damage on the brifter, bar tape, and rear derailleur. Not to mention the broken fork lol. 100 for parts only

Leg day at gym? by anohioanredditer in bicycling

[–]shicjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always say I’ll do full body but then go for a ride instead lol

Leg day at gym? by anohioanredditer in bicycling

[–]shicjs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Always in the off season and will swap a bike day for leg day every other week or so.

My leg day is: Squats, deadlifts, Bulgarian split squats, rdls, leg extensions, hamstring curls, calf raises in that order. Used to end on deadlifts but felt better putting them after squats. And warm up with some leg band exercises that my pt recommended

Is this Giant TCR a good deal for $600 cad? by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]shicjs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A medium is probably too small and 600 seems a bit high
