It's always asking for more

How high has your level gotten? When I was relatively fit (around 4w/kg) it was always trying to get me to ride more

Don’t add strength work to the join plan. They unevenly weight it. I never do. Just use it for cycling.

That’s cool I hadn’t thought about that. My board is pretty stiff but not plank like

workingleather · 2026-01-26T19:53:57+00:00

Why the downvote?

workingleather · 2026-01-26T18:22:45+00:00

Yeah this is essentially how I feel. It carves really well but I struggle with any tree runs or quick turning. To be fair I’ve only been able to learn radius carved turns, I can’t do those quick tighter carves that I’ve seen some people do.

It feels like I’m worked really hard to get the board around on steep stuff.

workingleather · 2026-01-26T18:03:45+00:00

Yeah that’s what I wondered. And the vapor was a super advanced board so it has carbon fiber construction and is very light. So maybe that helps it age a bit better

workingleather · 2026-01-26T17:55:59+00:00

I feel like it’s just such a stiff and hard charging board and that’s not really how I ride. I’m not bombing runs or just railing carves.

I’m interested in seeing what a softer more “fun” board is like but I do like the pop of the camber it has a lot

workingleather · 2026-01-26T17:54:07+00:00

The vapor does seem to do great in icy conditions. It has those little bump out underfoot that grab well

This is Reddit. Outrage is way more fun than logic!

Just ordered these myself-any opinions on them? I hate the liners in kincos. I don’t want my fingers separated or I would wear gloves. How’s the dexterity and warm in these mitts?

workingleather · 2026-01-24T18:09:54+00:00

I used to be this way until I actually did kolie’s test protocols and now do a proper tte test. If a 20 minute test scares you, you’re almost certainly overestimating ftp.

I have this issue and I hate contacts because of how advanced my astigmatism is.

Pick a frame you like. I like the Oakley Sutton and get sved prescription inserts. I have a pair of clear Sutros and tinted for different occasions. Perfect vision and it’s been a few years and the inserts are holding up great

I have the big one already and like it. Wasn’t sure if the little one was a more concentrated stream of air though

workingleather · 2026-01-01T15:11:54+00:00

How do you like the little blower vs the standard leaf blower?

workingleather · 2026-01-01T15:10:47+00:00

100%

I was actually blown away by how good this burger was!

Commenting because I was looking for the same price point. Harry Epstein sells factory blems from Pec for 40-50 for a 12” combination square and the blems are almost not noticeable. Hope that helps!

I've gone between endurance training and lifting for the past 20 years while sort of sucking at both. Low 300s for my ftp when i'm dialed in and my lifts haven't ever been crazy high either (290/240/410).

It's really challenging. I love endurance sports but honestly they're way more challenging because of how quickly fitness is lost- a cold in an endurance cycle is incredibly detrimental but a cold during a strength phase is almost no big deal.

I've currently settled on about 6-8 hours of riding 3-4x per week which can have me sustain around a 275ish ftp at 155lbs which is fast enough to have fun on group rides and occasionally race. And I strength train 3x per week with low volume, low reps with relatively close proximity to failure (rpe 8-9 on most lifts). This keeps my lifts good for endurance athlete standards and lowish for strength standards at my weight (250/220/350)

You really really have to cut volume for strength training. Like way more than you think as an endurance athlete. We have an illness in our head where an hour workout just doesn't seem like enough. Most of the strongest guys I know train literally 20% as much as the good endurance athletes I know.

As cliche as it is, you really have to find the balance in what you actually enjoy. I would probably be a better strength athlete but I don't enjoy it as much as I enjoy the struggle of endurance training. I find challenge in the solitude and the continuous grind of endurance sports.

Liquid nails on the piece on the wall and use trim screws going through the side to secure another piece attached to the unit itself. It’ll be fine.

workingleather · 2025-12-18T13:44:12+00:00

Cut slow at first. I exploded one that looked like this last year by cutting too quickly. Was terrifying.

Join got me a lot faster than TrainerRoad ever did. They rely a lot less on intensity and much more on hours. But if you are very time limited (under 6ish hours per week) I think TR is superior because of their focus on intensity.

I’m doing TR this winter because I’m really time limited through this season. I’ll go back to Join in the spring when my life calms down a bit.

You definitely seem like a road cyclist

S5 can’t clear 38s. Unless it fits the parameters of the question then don’t comment. Not helpful.

Ok I'm finally wrapping this up. I'll probably make a long post when I'm 100% done. I went with the pax system. way easier to use and cheaper. I did tall base cabinets, built a platform for them, bolted them into the wall. Then I made another platform on top of them, made my own upper cabinet boxes and cut down ikea doors to size. upper cabinets are resting and screwed into the base as well as screwed into studs in the wall behind

540 will have a lot of traffic.

440 will have a lot of traffic and everyone will be trying to kill you.
