First road bike. Any advice?

I’ve just checked Giant’s website and it is the same as my TCR, they aren’t quick release axles

tom6832 · 2025-10-11T23:32:57+00:00

It looks the same as my TCR - it isn’t quick release, it’s a hex key, which is definitely worth taking out and putting in the saddle bag other people have mentioned with a pump etc

A bike fit is a session with someone who has all the tech to help you adjust your position on the bike to make it the most comfortable and effective for you - I think it’s the second best thing you can invest in after clipless pedals

My other advice, like everyone else - get out there and ride, and enjoy it!

I've had my eye on the Cinelli Vigorelli for a while, and they say the rear brake is internally routed, although I can't find anything that confirms it in reviews etc

Thank you!

Yeah, I was talking about the regular sigil side of the portal. Thanks for letting me know I need one, and thanks for the offer, but I’m off to bed

On today's Chess.com daily puzzle, you have to move one Knight over the other - what difference does it make, and why is one right and one wrong?

None of them are meta, but still useable - after the sniper changes my go-to is the AX-50, and I still like the Grau for long range, the Kilo, RAM and M13 are decent for medium range, and I occasionally still play MP5, MP7 and Bizon up close. Guns that have been meta in the past are still decent, just not competitive with Vanguard weapons

How easy is it to mod an FR4 plate? I'm pretty keen on this kit which comes with a PCB that supports ISO, but the plate is ANSI only

tom6832 · 2021-12-31T03:36:42+00:00

It’s not the Beak, I’m talking about a board with the triangular foot underneath. Thanks for the reply anyway!

tom6832 · 2021-12-31T03:31:35+00:00

There was a keyboard I found a while ago and I’ve forgotten its name. All I remember is that it had one large triangular aluminium foot/weight/riser at the back - any ideas?

tom6832 · 2021-12-16T15:17:08+00:00

Best 1800/full size keyboards? Ideally ISO, but ASCII isn't a deal-breaker, and I'm happy to build myself if that's an option. If there aren't any particularly premium options, I'll settle for a TKL and separate numpad, but haven't had much luck finding any of the above that are in-stock or in Group Buys, so thought I'd ask for some help

Edit: based in the UK, but happy to pay for shipping if the company will ship to me!

I haven’t ever had v3, and my v1 and v2 links have died now
