Bottom Liner posted:Why haven’t tri bikes just gone 1x yet? Yeah as the bike has Di2 I'm going to try out full syncro shift so essentially acting as 1x (in that i just have buttons for up and down and it swtiches the chainrings for me)... Using it on the trainer it seems to work well, it'll be interesting to see what its like in the real work, especially going up hill/under load.

How much of a time difference might be expected for a typical tri with the same rider on that purple folding dick and vagina's cunty new ride?

Smoke cleared out nicely by yesterday, felt like a great early fall ride Then this morning, more foggy but still pretty great Hoping the smoke doesn't come back this weekend but winds are shifting and it might

Anza Borrego posted:The Renegade I’m looking at is the Force 1 11sp 1x and was under the impression that a gravel-oriented 1x is manageable. Is that not really right? Perfect for hilly San Diego. Just don't try and do thursday night worlds at Fiesta Island on that gearing.

picked up a winter bike Raleigh Super Tourer, aka the only bike I've seen which breaks the "stem shifters = low end bike" rule. I think the Huret Jubilee drivetrain is still one of the lightest groups ever made, and I love the Stronglight crank with the guard. Shockingly nobody bought a full 531 frame with upright bars in 1975 but you could probably sell something like this today if you put Velo Orange or All-City on the downtube.

Those brakes look flexy as hell. But that is a handsome looking frame and drivetrain.

oh the brakes are terrible. They look cool as hell but 1970s sidepulls are not what you want when going downhill. Theoretically they might have been good because those are actually some of the first dual pivot brakes ever but they hadn't figured those out in the 70s apparently.

Koth posted:Rode some bikes today with my best little buddy. A few days late, but what are your handlebars? I'm using some swept-back bars, but the stem is absurdly high, and having something like these could split the difference and allow the stem to look less like a basketball hoop.

Feels Villeneuve posted:picked up a winter bike Update despite getting damaged by a shop which I am still dealing with this bike is hilarious. I have zero idea what the designers were thinking but riding in a comfortable cruise position on a plush spring saddle except on a high end lightweight frame and 53x14 as the high gear feels really silly but also really fun. Extremely recommended if you like the feeling of wind resistance E) I also like calling a bike "super tourer" and not including any bottle cage mounts. I don't think I'm going to be doing any Super Touring on this Feels Villeneuve fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Sep 23, 2020 |

My first real road bike! Giant Content AR3, about 3 weeks old, I've been riding every night. Such an upgrade from my old hand me down. The color is a bit boring, but with the bike shortage these days I'm just happy I found one that had the features I was looking for.

Speaking from personal experience - a boring frame color is just a free license to go bonkers with bar tape and other accessory colors.

Kinda weird cuz they went through the trouble to include some cool (and very fragile looking) frame pump braze-ons under the top tube. Might see if I can get a bottle cage clamp-on, but apparently they're one of those things in short supply right now.
