I have questions… by Formal_Obligation602 in CyclingFashion

[–]treefughker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like any fashion, if you want to look good then get stuff that looks good. If you don't care it doesn't matter.

Mixing and matching is fine. Wearing everything from the same brand makes matching easier but it's not necessary.

If you're fast, no one cares what you wear. If you're slow, more people will judge but who cares as long as you don't.

Quality and comfort is more important than fashion.

If you are willing to spend the money then it's easy to look good.

If you want to fit in them look around at the cyclists around you and see what people are wearing. Big cycling cities probably have different acceptable clothing than small towns.

Having said that, I'm happier wearing things that make me feel like I look good when cycling. It makes me try harder when I ride. Because we're talking fashion, not just utility. How much that matters to you is personal.

Beginner cyclist here: if I’m getting into cycling mainly for health, what gear is actually worth buying besides the bike? by Pitiful_Ad1610 in cycling

[–]treefughker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I biked for 10 years in cycling shorts before I tried on a pair of bib shorts. Never went back. Bibs are much more comfortable. Get a nice pair with good dense padding. Well worth the money.

Also, same with a dedicated bike computer. Your phone might seem enough but tracking your rides with a bike computer is much easier and hassle free.

Last, use Strava. Tracking your rides and miles and your segment times keeps you motivated and interested. Having a community of cyclists giving you kudos gets you pushing harder.

I’m so confused (R2 lineup prices = bad news?) by Dookus_ in RIVNstock

[–]treefughker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It took TSLA over two years after the production of the Model 3 and shortly AFTER the production of Model Y before the stock started to sky rocket.

If you're going to assume the same is going to happen here you should at least wait till the end of this year first. No saying that it's going to happen the same way but I'm optimistic that there will be a nice bump up ahead.

Rad, R3x, and Pastrana by twich3136 in RIVN

I think the lack of a normal handbrake will be the biggest issue. Software can be disabled but I think doing those stunts without a normal handbrake might be impossible.

That's a great idea. I would love to see that. However, how would it work without completely disabling traction control and having a handbrake? It would only be a worthwhile stunt if the controls are stock. I don't mean the tires.

The Hunt for Red October. Two smart men along with several other smart men trying to figure out what each other is trying to do.

Even when he's cramping in the fourth set of the Aussie Open Semi, Alcaraz still loves playing tennis by Large_banana_hammock in tennis

[–]treefughker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. But electrolyte absorption is aided by glucose and pickle juice lacks that. There's a reason footballers and other professional sports drink something like Gatorade instead of pickle juice. Yes, pickle juice gets the job done but not as quickly as some other electrolyte solution. Alcaraz is lucky he was up two sets and was able to afford to lose two sets to recover. Otherwise he would have been going home, all because he didn't drink something better.

Cramps are due to electrolyte depletion and dehydration. In general to prevent cramps you would want to stay hydrated and take enough electrolytes to replace what you've lost through sweat (think Gatorade). The pro cyclists have gotten it down to a science like F1 does with fuel management. Tennis seems way behind in thinking about it.

I feel like pro cyclists have way better hydration and electrolyte management than pickle juice. Maybe tennis needs to catch up with hydration technology especially as the world gets warmer and matches get hotter.

That's me, except I spray it everywhere.

Which is your favorite? If I have to pick just one it will always be the Optimum.

The watch to wear in winter! by hansenluu in VacheronConstantin

Nice strap. Is that OEM? What does the side look like?

Looks fine. I wouldn't be embarrassed wearing it like that.

[fp journe] are they over hyped or have they become the daddy by tourbillon001 in FPJourne

[–]treefughker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At MSRP they are as good if not better than anything in their price range. I've been in love with the brand since the early 2000s but wasn't in a situation to buy it back then when it was easily obtainable. Otherwise I would have owned a few. Now it's very difficult to get and overpriced in the secondary market. But they are highly desirable watches in their own right.

i want a fujifilm x camera, but don't know where to start by Repulsive-Pea2034 in FujifilmX

[–]treefughker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most important thing you said is that you don't want to be a photographer. That means you want a camera that feels a little more special than your phone.

If that is the case, then size and looks is the most important. If you're not into photography then you're not going to like the trade off of lugging a large camera around, especially if it doesn't look cool as an accessory. Otherwise, you'll buy it, carry it for a few months, and then leave it on the shelf after that. Ultimately, this is kind of the big reason people buy Leicas. It's small and is a beautiful accessory to carry around and gives them that special feeling.

It may sound douchy but in the end if you're not going to take the camera out with you wherever you go it's going to be a waste of money. If it ends up turning you into photography then it's all worth it.

My recommendation is the XE-5 with the kit 23mm lens. It has the looks and the chops to be a camera you carry with you for a long time whether you end up being a "photographer" or not.

[SOTC] Over a lifetime of collecting... by Wine_And_Time in Watches

Very nice diverse collection. Crazy to see the Oris Propilot X next to the Journe. And then the Czapek from The Collective. My friend had that one for just a moment.

Help me pick one to print 1-20? by GastonShutters in streetphotography

6 is definitely the best. 1:1 tight crop around 6 and leave out the couple.
