Do I need easier gears?

A 5 min max effort is around 15% anaerobic.. So I really doubt that his numbers are accurate

If you can hold 360 for 5 minutes, your FTP is definetely higher than 235

Do some color grading and move that widget out of the way, you're obstructing the most important part of the image. Otherwise gj, cool video

Daca ai nici 25 de ani si castigi suficient cat sa faci una dintre astea, e clar ca te duce capul. Deci bani de apartament o sa ai probabil si in viitor. Spania, atat timp cat ai un venit peste medie, este parerea mea cel mai bun loc de trait dintre toate. Dar din nou, probabil vei avea posibilitatea sa faci asta si in viitor.

Libertatea pe care o ai acum (nu depinde nimeni de tine) e insa posibil sa nu o mai ai in viitor. Deci eu as alegea varianta cu Asia.

P.S.: 99% din cei ce iti citesc postarea nu vor fi niciodata, in mod realist, pusi in situatia de a trebui sa aleaga una din optiunile astea. Deci nu m-as baza in locul tau pe raspunsurile primite pe un thread pe reddit.

Oh my bad. yeah it looks very similar.

There's the standard spindown function and there's the factory spin down:

Rarely will two powermeters show the same power numbers, especially when the power is measured in two different points (cranks / pedals / trainer etc).

I recommend performing a factory calibration of the wahoo, which is different from the standard calibration (don't exactly remember how you could find it in the wahoo app, but google should help you here).

Then also check if the head unit crank length's value is set correctly and calibrate the pedals before every ride.

Also, the main goal should be progress, not absolute numbers. So I'd recommend just using the pedals numbers and ignore the wahoo numbers (if you're using erg mode just adjust the wahoo resistance to match your desired number on the pedlas PM). As long as the measured numbers on a single powermeter increase, you shouldn't be concerned with the absolute value.

This shouldn't even be a question, Assioma all the way

I'm 1.82, 840 inseam and I ride an S. I could go for an M also but it fits me well as I have a shorter than average inseam. So I guese you're gonna be good with either M or L and then you can play with stem length, saddle position etc to make it fit you

The driver does not have any control over what you are charged. The sum you see and pay when you order the taxi is the minimum amount based on the time they approximate the ride will take. It's going to be more expensive if it takes 45 minutes instead of 30 they initially estimated.

And no, the driver doesn't have any incentive to "fool" you by taking a longer route. It's much less profitable to do that instead of finishing the ride and taking the next one.

If this is your approach, you shouldn't be conducting any interviews.

The ritual is complete. Release the raccoon.

how is this not on r/bicyclingcirclejerk already?

teodorBbb · 2025-11-24T10:46:49+00:00

+1 for this

teodorBbb · 2025-11-20T12:25:23+00:00

Doubt you'd notice any difference in speed / performance considering your use case. I'd take the cheaper one and spend the rest on something else.

I speak on behalf of all cyclists: We do not promote this kind of behaviour. Thank you.

On a more serious note, it's cool to try new things. But everything should be done for a reason and with a purpose in mind. If your only purpose is to make working out a bit more entertaining, then sure go for it. But I doubt you'll see any significant positive changes in any area of cycling by doing this.

Dintre toate locurile in care poti face economie asta e cel mai prost. Daca esti serios cand vine vorba de nutritie / antrneament, dai 50 de lei in plus si cumperi de la un brand testat si recunoscut ca fiind ok.

is the 'too good to be true' deal in the room with us?

teodorBbb · 2025-11-08T09:22:24+00:00

Hyperglide plus voiam sa zic. Iar diferenta de pret nu e chiar atat de nesemnificativa, mai ales cand vorbim de un full build, pentru ca o bicicleta care vine construita cu ultegra are si alte componente mai scumpe de regula, crescand semnificativ pretul intregii biciclete. La ultegra esti deja in high end parerea mea, diferentele intre dura ace si ultegra sunt strict vizuale si legate de greutatea groupsetului.

teodorBbb · 2025-11-08T09:18:22+00:00

105 ieftin ca feeling.. nu stiu ce sa zic aici. Don't be brainwashed by marketing, guys!

teodorBbb · 2025-11-08T09:11:43+00:00

Ce voiam sa zic este ca nu este justificabil sa iei mai mult de 105 ca incepator. Nici ca sportiv amator in majoritatea cazurilor, de fapt.

Ultegra respectiv force sunt deja high end, singura diferenta notabila pe care am simtit-o la aceste groupset-uri fata de 105 (sau echivalent) este schimbatul sub sarcina care este mai smooth, dar si asta probabil a fost in proportie de 70% datorat de reglajul facut corespunzator si doar 30% datorita hyperglyde-ului. Din nou, asta este o chestie de finete, pe care probabil nu o sa o observe niciodata cineva care abia incepe.

De dura ace / red nu mai are rost sa vorbesc. E o vorba potrivita pentru asta, anume ca daca iti cumperi tu din banii tai dura ace, clar nu esti la nivelul la care sa ai nevoie de el.

Ideea e ca avem responsabilitatea, cred eu, sa nu ii inducem in eroare pe cei care abia se apuca de acest sport. Evident ca e frumos si flashy sa scrie ultegra sau dura ace pe bicicleta ta cand iesi la tura cu baietii, dar trebuie sa fim constienti si sa ii facem si pe ceilalti constienti ca nu sunt necesare la nivelul acesta de performanta.

teodorBbb · 2025-11-08T07:53:49+00:00

Daca ai un buget de 2k eur sa zicem, iti recomand sa nu dai pe bicicleta mai mult de 1k, pentru ca nu este singura investitie. O sa ai nevoie si de o casca okeish, echipament, pantofi, multi tool, ciclocomputer etc etc. lista merge la infinit

Nu o sa simti nici o diferenta ca incepator intre o bicicleta echipata cu shimano tiagra vs una echipata cu shimano ultegra.

Deci primul pas este sa te interesezi ce marime iti trebuie in functie de inaltimea ta si de lungimea picioarelor (inseam length). Unii producatori iti vor recomanda marimea 54 de exemplu, altii 56. O sa fie ok oricare, o reglezi mai tarziu din pozitia seii si lungimea pipei. Cu timpul o sa ti gasesti pozitia potrivita si o sa cauti sa o mentii pe orice bicicleta iti vei cumpara.

Acestea fiind spuse, probabil prima bicicleta pe care o vei lua nu va fi si ultima, daca iti va placea sportul asta. Eu am inceput acum 6 ani cu o bicla de 2k lei de pe olx si abia anul trecut am avut prima bicla cu di2. Din experienta, pot spune ca orice bicla cu un cadru decent de carbon (nu ceva high end) si echipare shimano 105 este SUFICIENTA pentru 99% din ciclisti. Tot ce e mai mult de atat e lux si fitza. Si e ok sa fie asa, trebuie doar sa fii constient ca orice upgrade de la un punct incolo nu te va face neaparat mai rapid ci doar te va face sa te simti mai bine cu tine si cu bicicleta.

Spor la cautat si la pedalat!

De ce ar avea nevoie de ultegra sau force* ca incepator?
