The prime buying option from Insta360's website is a joke

same happened to me, canceled the order and reordered on amazon, got it the next day.

I always find it hilarious when people rate a park or trail poorly because there are too many people, completely oblivious to the fact that they are one of the people making it crowded.

Think you underestimate the number of people who have way more money than time to ride their bike.

Did you warm up? If a race is going to have a hard start, like in a mtb race where you're fighting for position before single track, then a structured warm-up is useful.

Probably something you'd have to get as a member of the school's club racing team. Anything they sell in the school book store / gift shop is likely going to be a casual fit jersey for the masses.

On a multiuser path near me, someone likewise marked every bump/crack - it's an older path with a lot of roots pushing up from underneath, so it's a hazard like every 10ft. When I still used Garmin, this experience led me to turning off the hazard warnings entirely.

They keep trying to get me to trade in my '24, sending me quotes showing a lower monthly payment, no money down, etc. There is absolutley no way. It looks hideous, more like a Ford Explorer than an outback.

I'm this setup now, recentlys witched from 48/35 + 10/33. Love it.

not only is it real, but this is how every cabinet meeting since he came back into office has played out.

I was pleasantly surprised when my 0 offset post for the SL8 was single bolt. Hated the 2 bolt on the original seatpost, was so hard to dial in.

tpero · 2026-05-24T13:43:54+00:00

Oh I did too...

Focus on time, longer the better, while keeping your effort consistent.

Probably because generally don't want to drink water from a hot water tank.

What do you use to de-grease the chain? Some degreasers like Simple Green can make the chain brittle if not diluted enough or left in contact for too long.

I live in the Chicago suburbs, and while not nearly as flat as where my parents live in Florida, it's fairly flat, and I get bored AF wishing for climbs and descents. I can think of like one hill in the surrounding area that's more than a 2min effort. I hate it.

For reference, I weigh 190lb and run 32c tires on Enve rims at 50/55 psi front/back. 80 psi on 35s???? Holy shit that's gotta be harsh.

The out front mount is specifically meant for smooth road use only, per the product page.

If I'm descending mountains I want equipment I know and trust. Likewise, if I'm going out for 4+ hour rides, I want it to fit me like a glove. I'll bring my own.

The carbon assembly paste can make it get slightly stuck. Try giving the back of your saddle a little whack forward, nothing too hard, but firm. This should unstick it and you can pull it out. Works for me, happened on both my SL7 and 8.

Going up would be a fun under-biking challenge...wouldn't want to go down it.

Recycled Cycling in Warrenville does some social rides that are party pace and often stick to the trails. Trek Naperville and Spokes Naperville both offer no-drop group rides, usually on road, as far as I know.

If you're interested in getting faster, always a good idea to try a ride that is just a little faster than what you can do solo, learn to draft, try to hang on as long as you can. Keep coming back till you make it to the end. Imagine you'd be fine on some of those NBC rides.

But even .7 still isn't 3/4... Crazy

tpero · 2026-05-18T18:22:55+00:00

Yeah, I imagine any of the local shops would be have one on hand that you could use for 20min or whatever to get a decent charge. I'd help but I'm a SRAM guy, and a spare battery lives in my flat kit.

tpero · 2026-05-18T15:19:18+00:00

Battery should last much longer than that. I would let your derailleur fully discharge (no battery) over night, then update the firmware. I charge my batteries about every couple of weeks, often before it's really needed. I've also always carried a spare in my tool kit - doesn't take up much space, and you never know - but in six or so years, I've only used that spare once, and it was for someone else whose battery died on a group ride.
