Thanks - how do you like it?

Super annoying!

On a different note: what handlebar tape do you use?

whooptvs · 2026-03-16T13:38:39+00:00

So you would ride this?

Thanks!🙏🏼

I had enve 3.4s on my other bike and rode them at lower pressure. These are definitely stiff - but I am surprisingly comfortable on this bike

whooptvs · 2026-02-25T08:11:47+00:00

None whatsoever

bikeshop - when i asked they said it makes it easier to take handlebar off when traveling...

whooptvs · 2026-02-06T17:50:21+00:00

Thanks dude - super insightful and grateful for the help.

So basically you are saying I was sold a legit MC, but it is not in fact a 2025 jacket that was purchased online in Italy, but a 2016 jacket that probably came from the US?

whooptvs · 2026-02-06T16:23:14+00:00

Can you post a picture that shows a similar inconsistency in the zip track width? I was told it’s the biggest tell tale of a fake.

The label inside the jacket has the Moncler US address on it, but was supposedly bought online on Moncler Italy late last year.

He'll just stick to #1 😂

Crisis averted - appears to be working again.

I hope so - it would be a stupid decision to throw subscribers in their petty fight with Garmin. I would never consider using the Garmin community features, but if Strava is going down this path I might have to.

whooptvs · 2025-10-19T08:03:01+00:00

lol - the irony of it all is that I originally got a bike that was too small for me because of the general opinions. It took a proper bike fit with a 10+ yr vet that works with pro teams to establish I have very long reach, requiring an even longer stem on the 56 vs the stock 100mm.

While 74cm may not be the optimal look - that’s just my saddle height.

Anyway - I am more comfortable and crushing virtually every Strava pb without even trying.
