I have no idea if I should even post this here but ehh, whatever, it's still bikes. This Saturday morning at 9am Hawaiian time I'm gonna ride 100 miles on Zwift, and livestream it on Twitch to raise money for a local emergency fund here in Hawaii for sex workers or those who have previous been in sex work and are in danger of returning to it due to Covid-related hardships. More info about my plans the fund in this video: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/708582540

When a store has the type of bike you're looking for in stock in this day and age (and is 10% off) then you pounce. I think this will do for bikepacking around Japan.  This is my first disc brake bike too.  I should start hoarding pads.

It was my first time driving in central Tokyo (which I wholeheartedly recommend against unless you have to) to get to the Trek dealer yesterday, but I was finally able to go pick up my new bike yesterday. My delicate BMC timemachine now has a burlier younger brother. Any general fit advice for a gravel bike as compared to an aero race bike? I'm guessing I want my saddle height over the BB to be roughly the same (taking the crank length into account) as my BMC, but the stack/reach at the handlebars is gonna make the real difference in how the new bike feels. P.S. The automatic parking garages in Tokyo are slick as hell.

wooger posted:You can set up most gravel bikes as you wish, exactly like a road bike if you prefer it, depending on the head tube height. It's mostly gonna see road use (on mostly immaculate Japanese tarmac) , along with whatever decent gravel may come along. It's really gonna be more of a bikepacker.
