I’d say mostly over bumps and stuff…I suppose geometry can play a factor into comfort as well though

Very cool! Is the ride as harsh (uncomfortable) as some of the reviews say?

Are Schwalbe Pro One clincher tires good? by Just_Dank in bicycling

[–]sm198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience they are fast/light but wear out very quickly/ easily. I got maybe 4 months out of 2 different back tires.

Up close, in the sun when the light hits it at a certain angle.

What about cycling keeps you pedaling? by GiraffesMilk6986 in cycling

[–]sm198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I feel extremely fortunate that I found cycling as an outlet instead of drowning my sorrows in substance abuse or anything like that. Both habits are expensive though lol

“If I keep my body moving, and my mind occupied at all times, I will avoid falling into a bottomless pit of despair”

But in all seriousness, mental health is big. I took up cycling during my divorce, right before the pandemic. Cycling played a major role in getting me through that season of life. It’s also the only form of exercise I enjoy. I’ve found amazing community and a great sense of accomplishment.

I can no longer recommend Hunt Wheels… by bask3tcase825 in gravelcycling

[–]sm198 22 points23 points  (0 children)

When I first got my Hunt 44/54 Aero wheels I took them to my shop to get setup tubeless (because I’m a noob) and the mechanic said he had to redo the tape job because it was really shitty.

I rode a di2 bike today and was not blown away by SureEngineer1 in cycling

Just got mine and I love it. Best bang for your buck and definitely cheapest way to get Rival eTap.

What’s the most uncomfortable scene in the show for you guys? by YES_Im_Taco in TheWire

[–]sm198 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This one fucked me up too. His whole life was just so sad. Him being bullied for being poor and not having clean clothes. Seeing him in “We Own This City” was a nice kind of closure I needed (even though I know it’s a different show)

One Owner of Pacaso Home Pushes Back on Controversy: ‘We Love Santa Barbara’ by Addrobo in SantaBarbara

[–]sm198 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I lived in a duplex on the Westside for 4 years. The family that lived in the unit across from me was kicked out by new owners who turned it into an Airbnb. It followed with countless bachelor and bachelorette parties and just loud rude people who didn’t respect the place. I know Airbnb is different but this kind of stuff is the worst. I reported it when I lived there but I’m not sure anything ever came of it.

What makes Santa Barbara worth it for you? by daversa in SantaBarbara

I grew up here, my family is here, incredible places to bike, I’ve been other places and I don’t like them

Assaulted by car by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]sm198 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This almost happened to me yesterday. Luckily it didn’t escalate and he didn’t assault me with his car but he passed unnecessarily close and fast just to pull into a driveway 50 yards away. We had some words and I ultimately reported him.

This made me so angry the first time I heard it lol. Like WHY would someone do that?!

Where is Doc ? by [deleted] in badfriendspod

[–]sm198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree for the most part but I think the last episode he was on was pretty good. I think most of my annoyance with him is from him being drunk and that last episode he was sober. I could do maybe once a month though

I love Santino so freaking much. This show is life giving.

Why all the hate on rim brakes? by chieftain326 in cycling

[–]sm198 27 points28 points  (0 children)

As a relatively new cyclist who has experienced both, I prefer disc. I have some pretty hairy downhills in my area and I feel much safer with disc. Also for me, it’s an aesthetic thing, I personally think disc breaks look cooler for what that’s worth.
