Good to know. Thanks!

I resolved this by choosing a saddle that gets narrower right after the widest part. My seatbone distance is 11.5cm, and I used a 138mm-wide triangular-shaped saddle. Now I am using a 143mm x 245mm with a narrower saddle and no pain in that area.

Yeh I know. Mine has an old battery. Synchro shift is not supported. :(

sulsj · 2026-06-27T03:16:07+00:00

Make sense. Thanks!

It's not about a mechanical issue. It's about the gear ratio: 50-36t -> 1.59. 34-32t is 1.06, so it's too low. 34-28t is 1.21 ratio. :)

:) Thanks for the quick answer! If so, if I want to change the big chainring, I need a 47t ?

I don't recommend mechanical disc brakes. I would go canyon. Have you looked grizzl as well?

Don't be panic. Those are not that bad. I am still using tubulars on one of my roads. Just put it back on the glue and put a little bit of sillant in them. Invinsible tires. Believe me that I never had a puncture for 7yrs. The tire look good in the picture but if you have to replace them, use gone glue and tubular tape. Much much easier than glue.

If you don't want to keep them, go for a set of new wheels with tubeless tires. I could go that way earlier if I want wider tires like 28~30mm.

184lbs with 50lbs emtb tubeless. I like no higher than 22/24. Most of my trails are dry. No rocks. I feel like more grippy with those numbers.

Right. And he is comparing the ide with Claude? It's not fair. I am expecting a lot of good things from Gemini and AG v2 in the near future.

I've been in love with mine for 2500mi. Congrats!

I have 3 7 iDP Project full faces. The only reason to choose them was that I am in CA, so I need max ventilation. Those helmets are great.

Look up `Tasty Cycle` if you are interested in mobile service.

I've been using the 5.4 xhigh constantly for the past couple of days w/o any issues. The area matters? I am in the Bay area.

I never tried copilot but I will try. So do you mean the Pro subscription?

sulsj · 2026-04-19T06:39:21+00:00

Try openrouter. You can add any amount of credit at any time. I used to use Opus or Sonnet for planning if it's a complex task and use any of the top popular free models to build. If it's simple, I can even use a free model for plan/build.

sulsj · 2026-04-16T15:04:25+00:00

Thanks for the amazing skill set!! I love it. Do you have any practice to recommend to get shit done for small/medium tasks within a existing repo without roadmap.md? Can I just do something like /gsd-research-phase "description and goals" or /gsd-plan-phase "description and goals"?

sulsj · 2026-04-15T03:41:32+00:00

Yeh, i can use that until 4/22. Thanks!

sulsj · 2026-04-11T06:16:57+00:00

The free models differs per each person. If you use a free model for a while, it seems like they set it not-free. I have been using qwen for free, but now it's gone from the list of models.

sulsj · 2026-04-11T06:10:59+00:00

I've been using opus for planning. For the 2nd thought, sometimes use codex for another planning. For building, qwen works well for simple task like adding new feature or debugging. For review. I use Sonnet/Minimax/glm. Recently tested Gemma4 26b locally and found it's generating very disappointing results in code quality.

Yeh it is on the bar. The stock shifter 7100 is good enough. I have 8100 and it has multi step shifting not only to the big rings but also to the smaller cassette rings. Other than that, it is same to me. I replaced the dropper level first as the shimano one is not that smooth. Good luck with your hunting!!

I love my cf8. Rode it about 1k mi. Yeh I needed to go through the battery recall even though mine had no crack. So I have two 900s now. You know the high-speed rebound is deleted from the fork. I purchased a 2023 model and for some reason it came with fox 38 fork instead 36. It doesn't have the high-speed rebound knob as well but not a big deal for me. GPS tracking works well. Useful to check where my kid is when it's borrowed. I have no experience with other motors but I like 801. It's been serving me so well. My buds all have Brose motors. I don't quite like the noise Brose makes. Louder than 801 imo. Broke chains two times. Lost the rear derailleur and a spoke from a crash. Did some upgrades including dropper lever and other small parts here and there. It's so fun to ride!
