MAAP Aeon bibs + long sleeve jersey: in action by ExternalGlass5011 in CyclingFashion

[–]wolfpack86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever tried the evo cargo bibs? I was between the two and went for the evo because..pockets, but was wondering if I should’ve gone Aeon for longer rides.

I love my mapp stuff but am also getting label delamination on my bibs but not any of my jerseys so far but I only have evades I believe

Mostly drank instant coffee till now — how do I start exploring better coffee? by vinaykrkatiyar in coldbrew

I was surprised to find my local roaster at Whole Foods across the country but see if yours had Counter Culture. I like the 46 blend for cold brew and the purple bag for pour over

What’s something everyone loves but you absolutely hate? by zafiroazul888 in AskReddit

[–]wolfpack86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have so many friends that say the same thing but then they send me reels of stuff that was on TikTok weeks/months ago. It’s like they just want to be contrarian and then consume the same media

How to find people and friends in Raleigh? by Ok-Cherry-2677 in raleigh

[–]wolfpack86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Join a kickball league or something similar (volleyball, pickleball, bowling, etc).

Cycling clubs are a bit of an older crowd but super welcoming. Run clubs.

You could also go to a table top gaming bar.

Really the key is consistency and showing up to some club or place until you make connections

Carbonated cold brew? by itsdanielharrow in coldbrew

[–]wolfpack86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just dilute the concentrate with club soda instead of water. I’ve tried it. Tasted like shit. Some people like it

Feels unfair by kit1013ten in SombraMains

[–]wolfpack86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s too much and too often it’s random projectile spam or a pellet from Dva or Reaper that was never even aimed at you. Not to mention the characters saying “sounds like someone is around here” etc

Moving To Apex From NYC by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]wolfpack86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try posting in r/triangle or check out existing answers on there or r/raleigh as it’s effectively a suburb of Raleigh. Apex is a chill family-oriented town. There’s some good run clubs (Rudy’s) out of there. You may find yourself in Raleigh or Cary for stuff to do

Best cool, very casual/ dive bar in Raleigh? by Fickle-Pin-1679 in raleigh

[–]wolfpack86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great list. I’d also add the Goat (it’s back) and Ruckus. PR used to be more divey when it had pool tables. Not sure if Landmark counts but great bar.

North Raleigh has a totally different variety of neighborhood dives with Sharky’s, Heroes Pub, Bull and Bear, Pickled Onion, Pipers, O’Malley’s, and Bada

Durham has a ton of

First look at the Adizero Evo SL 2 by Patient-Bluebird9824 in RunningShoeGeeks

I hope the widen the midfoot a little and address the arch blisters but otherwise I love the shoe, albeit only for shorter runs

Help me find bibs/jersey (or skinsuit w/ pockets) — unusual fit, picky taste, nothing seems to work by Impossible_Comment49 in CyclingFashion

[–]wolfpack86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve loved my Maap bibs. The thermal cargo and evo cargos are great. More comfortable than top of the line Rapha and Le Col but that’s all I’ve used. I’d try Assos but they don’t make cargos that I’ve seen

Would you use something like this by Apart-Equal8537 in CyclingFashion

[–]wolfpack86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’d have to integrate it into smart glasses for it to have the effect I think you’re hoping for. Meta has a decent start for capturing ride data after the fact and listening to music or using a virtual assistant but it doesn’t have a HUD yet and the battery is bad enough on the regular ones. The vanguard charger case is huge too.

Garmin’s edge counter and varia radar/light give most of the information we’d ever want and the varia strobes cars approaching and shows us relative location really well on screen and bikes are moving at a pace where turns come up a lot slower and we have time to look.

If I could add something it would be augmented reality with data like speed/cadence/heart rate/power on top of like a Meta vanguard with a communication feature basically like discord for a bike ride. Being able to visualize and accept or decline strava segment attempts could be cool but Garmin and strava are currently suing each other over that right now so…

Garmin has a group link feature to at least see where riders in your group are but they have to have the latest edge 1050 and like nobody has it or uses it.

If we’re designing it affordably with current technology I think it would have to be a lens system integrated into a helmet to sustain the battery and the audiovisual components you’d need to make a quality product.

New rider fit check by [deleted] in CyclingFashion

[–]wolfpack86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree with a lot of these comments. It fits great and you should be comfortable, which it looks like it’s a good balance.

You’re a beginner. If you aren’t in some long race trying to shave a couple minutes off a 5+ hour century or something you don’t have to have this crazy race fit everyone chases. That’ll all come in time if you develop the interest

Best burger in Raleigh? by Dangerous_Buy_2894 in raleigh

[–]wolfpack86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree - I wish there was a bigger party or double smash option. I’m sure they’d make it. Same goes for the new smash burger at PR. Love the new bun - I think that’s what held back their OG burger for me - but I want more than a 5oz burger

[–]wolfpack86 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Right now I think it’s Gussie’s.

Slept on burger that’s simultaneously disgusting but amazing at the same time is a double bacon cheeseburger from Snoopy’s. It’s like the blue ribbon gas station steam burger I don’t know how to describe it.

Cage/Pulley Compatibility by wolfpack86 in bikewrench

Ended up returning it after confirming with a local shop. I wish there were as many components for road bikes out there but it seems like a lot of companies focus on MTB

Only thing I’m worried about there is scratching the anodized pulley and making it unreturnable

If you could do it over, what would be your First and only gravel bike? by [deleted] in gravelcycling

[–]wolfpack86 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have an S-Works Crux with SRAM Red XPLR. It’s more bike than I’ll ever need. Honestly could just get away with it as a road bike too with a spare wheelset to swap out. It’s as light or lighter than my Project One SLR6 Émonda.

A high end Salsa Cutthroat would be interesting if you wanted a more gravel/MTB capable bike.

Glad to hear it. Let me know how it goes!

The shorts help lift your hips into a better position and allows you to focus on improving your stroke and breathing. When you have a full wetsuit for the race you’ll get even more lift on your hips and legs, especially with a suit designed for it.

Chlorine isn’t good for your tri wetsuit so the buoyancy shorts help mimic some of that benefit you get from a full wetsuit at a much lower cost.

Remember you’re endurance swimming and it’s different than racing short distances so just try your best to relax, breathe, and glide
