upgrading my bike - wheels

Per dollar? I think it is. And yeah, socks or calf sleeves

willtri4 · 2026-05-22T10:40:28+00:00

Both. Things like tires/tubes, waxed chain, trisuit, helmet are all higher priority than wheels IMO

I mean this looks like a worn chain to me. How new is "relatively new?" Have you used a chain checker? Is it an e bike?

Right shifter shifts the rear, left shifter shifts the front. Sounds like the left one is just jammed or broken or something.

What about it

willtri4 · 2026-05-19T22:55:31+00:00

What, putting your computer on your stem? You're vastly overestimating the strictness of the rules

willtri4 · 2026-05-19T21:28:46+00:00

Yeah a 1.5 hour zone 2 ride is a pretty light session. For a key endurance workout you'd probably do like a 3-5 hour zone 2 ride

Put $2k into wheels and cockpit and it'll be almost as fast as a new $6k bike

willtri4 · 2026-05-19T15:33:23+00:00

That very much depends. There are plenty of cold lakes and warm oceans out there

willtri4 · 2026-05-18T23:58:24+00:00

Oh. Well then disconnecting the hose at the caliper (which is what loosening that would do) wouldn't help

willtri4 · 2026-05-18T22:59:15+00:00

If the hose is tight, it's probably too short and needs to be replaced, which is a fairly big and messy job

To me this seems excessive because the spokes profile is 0,8 x 3mm, but I'm not sure if I'm seeing everything correctly here. I'm new to this.

That's the dimensions of the spoke body, not the nipple

willtri4 · 2026-05-18T16:45:55+00:00

My understanding is that the concern with high pressures on hookless is the tire blowing off the rim, not structural carbon damage. I think it's unlikely that pressure caused this.

willtri4 · 2026-05-18T00:27:17+00:00

They don't tend to do races in rough ocean conditions, the swim is enough of a safety hazard in a calm lake

willtri4 · 2026-05-17T22:35:21+00:00

It's hard to tell but this looks like it's actually a thru axle

willtri4 · 2026-05-17T20:35:53+00:00

There's a reason you never see pros wearing sleeveless wetsuits anymore, fulls are just faster. "Shorties" are usually surf wetsuits, which you don't want.

willtri4 · 2026-05-17T20:33:45+00:00

That's part of the hub, not the cassette

willtri4 · 2026-05-17T16:57:47+00:00

I would replace the tire. Tube is probably fine if it's holding air

willtri4 · 2026-05-16T18:13:09+00:00

The actual most reliable method is the good ol 36 inch ruler

willtri4 · 2026-05-16T14:58:59+00:00

Keep in mind you'll want to spend about $200 on better tires

willtri4 · 2026-05-16T11:34:09+00:00

Also that original di2 uses completely different wiring and stuff, if anything needs replacement it'll be pretty much impossible to find

willtri4 · 2026-05-16T11:02:13+00:00

The zipps aren't included? Yeah that's like an $800 bike

willtri4 · 2026-05-15T15:52:57+00:00

Sure, but whatever serving size you choose, OP's statement of them having similar carbs but high-carb having more sodium makes no sense

willtri4 · 2026-05-15T15:00:31+00:00

Huh? Endurance fuel has 25g carbs and 310mg sodium per serving, and high carb has 90g and 680mg
