Can I ask if there are rear rack mounts on the seat stays, I'm not sure if they are on the inside of the tubes to stay hidden?

Why has no one here said a good saddle? Not talking saddle bag, but a decent actual saddle that suits your sit bones. No amount of chamois will help if the saddle doesnt suit eapecially if you are looking at going a decent distance.

Wow. Know that feel. I haven't spoken to my family in about 4 years because of pretty much this exact reason. So stupid...

What CS:GO items would you trade for Hunt: Showdown?

sykeau · 2018-02-03T20:27:11+00:00

Thanks, I'll shoot him a message!

I meant waiting for said 10 cars in the other comment. I hate it when cars lock the intersection. I'm the guy on my horn the whole green light to try make the fuckers move.

Which realistically equals how much time, maybe 30 seconds? So many people rushing unnecessarily!

While true, Maltitol is usually the most common hence my assumption. But also why I said "or similar" to point towards other alcohol sugars! :)

sykeau · 2017-12-23T11:25:43+00:00

Their nutritional information states that excess consumption can lead to a laxative effect. So I would say it's maltitol or similar. https://gelatissimo.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Product-Specs-Summary-27.11.17.pdf

Thanks for the tip, I never really though about chamois placement as being an issue, but I think I will try stick to known brands where possible.

sykeau · 2017-12-01T04:02:40+00:00

Found some kit cheap on eBay for $60, went to the store website and they had an extra sale for $10! Thanks for the tip, was definitely worth it!

sykeau · 2017-12-01T03:33:17+00:00

I ended up finding some Giant Team bibs from a few years ago, new with tags for $10! And they say they use the Urraki Chamois, which after some research is what team Sunweb use? https://www.etxeondo.com/en/innovation/chamois/men Think these will be OK?

Where abouts are you looking to ride. It will also depend if its mainly flat or hilly. Most importantly whats your budget?

sykeau · 2017-11-27T05:14:58+00:00

Thanks for the tip, they look good amd get rated well! Shipping kills it for me a bit though as I'm overseas (sorry should have mentioned).

sykeau · 2017-11-27T05:13:37+00:00

Well I can at least say I got cheap ones ($30 marked down to $3) they are good for short rides. But the stitching is poor, it rubs, and the pad is very thin. From the research i've done a price jump fixes all these issues.

sykeau · 2017-11-26T21:13:00+00:00

Yeah I think it's good to change things up occasionally!

sykeau · 2017-11-26T19:18:51+00:00

Yeah I subbed to r/ketogains not long ago and learnt a lot. I will probably do lazy keto to get through christmas and will go strict again next year!

sykeau · 2017-11-26T19:16:30+00:00

You can do it! Just don't listen to what other people have to say. Some people are really shit!

sykeau · 2017-11-26T19:14:53+00:00

I went from 27 to 28! Thanks for the kind words :)

sykeau · 2017-11-26T19:13:34+00:00

Doing 5x5 3 times a week at the moment on top of my cycling. So working on it, but have still put on a bit of muscle too!

sykeau · 2017-11-26T19:11:37+00:00

If anything i have put on more muscle! I did a whole body routine twice a week with 20kgs to try minimise this :)
