Yes but crankbros pedals are guaranteed to fail spectacularly. Which is why I keep riding my bike: to finally witness the spectacle I've been denied still after tens of thousands of miles on them

nm posted:I use a Rhythm+ which is similar. I wear it high up above the bicep (which is allowed for the Rhythm at least). I have always ridden with sunsleeves and have no issues. I've been wearing my tickr fit on my upper bicep on mtb rides where elbow pads would get in the way of the normal positioning; no issues thus far this summer

bicievino posted:The other reason people run tubeless is for off-road use, where you lower the tire pressure to improve traction, as it makes it impossible to pinch flat (as there is no tube to pinch). Oh you absolutely can pinch flat a tubeless mtb tire. It's just quite a bit harder.

yoohoo posted:Worth every penny. FWIW I still have yet to hear someone articulate why 1UP is worth the premium over, say, Kuat (which is itself pretty pricey). I've been perfectly happy with my Kuat, so consider those also. Anecdotally where I live (and I acknowledge this is not true everywhere), I see 1Up racks highly correlated with conspicuous consumption like luxury SUVs (range rovers, etc), and also with having lovely bikes (weirdly)

PolishPandaBear posted:I read a lot of reviews about the Thule and Kuat racks where the plastic bits eventually got UV damage after a few years and would break. I didn't want to deal with that. I also like the modularity, that I can just have one tray if I wanted. The additional trays are easy to put on and take off. Crumps Brother posted:One thing I like about the 1up style is that you get a bit of wiggle room for bike positioning. You can move the bikes forwards/backwards a bit and it goes a long way towards making sure multiple bikes can fit around each other with no problems. I'm just waiting for them to get off of backorder so I can get my order in for an Equip-D. Cool, this is actually helpful in a way that I've not had described before. I've got a full 2+2 kuat now, so I doubt I would be shopping for a 1up at any point soon (unless i put a hitch mount on my sedan), but will bear in mind. kimbo305 posted:Setting aside the need to fix an adjustment issue with the bike, pedaling at a laid back 60rpm is getting you to 18mph on the gearing. You might consider using an easier gear and upping cadence. Did I miss where he said either the speed or cadence he was riding at??

Shadowhand00 posted:Finally finished my ride around the Bay that I had been planning since the beginning of SIP. Took a little longer than a normal 300k mostly because of the 3k extra feet of climbing. woof, how on earth did you end up going up Marin Ave?? That's a rough climb on any ride or bike, let alone one like that. Continuing straight on Spruce all the way to Grizzly Peak is the way to go to get up there, for sure. For others' context, the full climb up Marin is about 3/4 of a mile and averages 17% or so. The top part that he rode up is even steeper, over 20% for about a quarter mile or so.

VideoGameVet posted:For at least two months Strava (app to record bike rides etc.) has been messing up my ride times and calories. Yesterday I figured out the bug. The speed threshold for auto pause is a good bit lower than 4mph (it's not hard to confirm this by looking at activities with auto pause enabled that were going slower than 4mph and didn't pause); if you weren't actually going substantially slower than that, it is likely that your phone was misreporting your speed as being 0 or very near it. The easy solution to that problem, if you don't particularly care for autopause to begin with, is to disable it, as someone else mentioned.

VideoGameVet posted:How? I'd love to disable auto-pause but I don't see that in the app. If you’re on iOS, go to the record screen, hit settings in the upper left. Autopause settings should be on that screen. If you see data points at 3.8mph, that means it was included in the data and not removed by autopause. OS location services can sometimes do funny things and result in some hard to interpret data (like reporting 0 speed when maybe it’s not really 0?) caveat: not a mobile dev

EvilJoven posted:At a lot of crosswalks the pedestrian walk symbol doesn't light up unless the button is pushed. This is all true and not at all applicable in the situation where someone rides through without stopping and assumes right of way when they don’t have it. If you stop or at least check that your path is clear before proceeding? Sure. But none of what you said is relevant to the question of whether a cyclist has right of way, or is even being reasonable, in that situation. I get the frustration, and abhor poo poo like that where cyclists are not accounted for. One of the worst is sensor based lights that don’t trigger for bikes. Or just that in general. I will admit to turning left on a red arrow driving the other day after sitting through several light cycles with no green, and I can’t even count the number of times I’ve done that on a bike.

HAIL eSATA-n posted:This argument places blame on the victim for not hearing the murder machine instead of the driver for doing the murdering. I'm not going to debate the relative safety of wearing headphones or not, but no, this argument does not place blame on the victim. There is a concrete difference between recommending someone not do X in order to avoid Y, vs blaming someone for Y because they did X. Just like I can advise someone to avoid a particular street on their bicycle while also not blaming a cyclist in an accident on that street "because they shouldn't have been on it in the first place." I know the OP you're responding to, and he would especially not be one to blame a headphone wearing victim in an accident.

Bud Manstrong posted:1up or Kuat. The 1up tilts to and can stay in an intermediate position to allow your hatch to open, with the caveat that just because this works on my car doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll work on yours. I went for the 1up because it’s bulletproof and has a lifetime warranty, the parts are modular, it’s built in the US, and it just works very well. I also think the lock system would take marginally longer to destroy than the thin cables on other racks. It is very expensive. I expect it to outlast my car. A lot of people love the Kuat racks, and those seem great as well in limited experience. I like the integrated bike stand. I have a Kuat (with the two bike extension, so 4 total) and it also tilts down. I also have, as a bonus, another piece that allows me to swing it horizontally out of the way https://www.kuat.com/product/pivot-2/ Also not cheap. It doesn’t say so explicitly but I also don’t see any reason it wouldn’t work for a non-kuat 2” hitch rack

I'm trying to revive my old cross bike as it's been more or less disused for the past few years, and use it as an occasional lightweight road-ish bike and around townie. Unfortunately, I think there are too many chips on the old alpha q fork clearcoat for me to be comfortable using it, and pickings are somewhat slim for QR cantilever carbon forks these days. Does anyone have any suggestions on forks to look at, where to find them? I've looked around for Enve, Whisky, and Ritchey forks. Enve and Whisky are hard to find, Ritchey less so. I really don't like the look of the ritchey comp fork, though, and the WCS is pretty pricey at ~$400. Obligatory bike photo:

I like the liners that came with my Patagonia shorts. I’ll sometimes use the liners, sometimes bibs, under my baggy shorts, depending basically on what’s clean and at hand, and don’t really notice a difference in comfort. They sell liners separately, and I assume but am not positive that the ones sold separately are the same as the ones I have that came with shorts.

EvilJoven posted:Ya its super dumb. We get tons of customers asking why the ebikes we get from major brands don't have throttles go faster etc etc etc. Its all because companies like Giant only want to make one model that complies with ebike regs worldwide and they're all over the place. I’d be royally pissed if the bike path along the river that I use to take my kids to the water, and that goes directly from my house to the grocery and hardware stores in 4.5 miles, disallowed my heavy cargo ebike, forcing me instead to ride 7.5 miles on a major road and highway. What sort of places are putting these restrictions in??

This same bike path connects to the town sports park, and I see tons of kids riding on it on various types of cheap ebikes with throttles to get to soccer practice or whatever, and personally I think that’s great. Maybe I’d feel differently if it were a more crowded space, but it’s a small town and the path basically connects my neighborhood to downtown via more or less open space.

LoudPipesSaveLives posted:I thought part of the point of Presta valves was that they could hold a higher pressure than Schraeder valves. They can be a bit weird at first if you've come from cars and haven't seen them before, but they're good. Just tighten them up properly. Mountain bike shocks use much higher pressure than any bike tires and use schrader valves. And mountain bike tires run lower pressures than cars and use presta valves. I don’t think that’s the reason and had thought it was more about requiring a smaller hole in a narrow rim.

Consider also having some not-air in your tires, which can generally allow you to have less air in the remaining space for air while reducing the risk of that air suddenly escaping

Shadowhand00 posted:You can try concentrated drink mix + water. I've done it in the past for ultra long rides and it helps with keeping a low amount of stuff on the bike for medium rides. Otherwise, training yourself to take in less calories during a ride is an option. There was a point during my PBP training where I was getting about 60-70 miles into a ride before needing food. I did a 100km mountain bike race in 6 ish hours last weekend on two bottles of skratch super fuel and 4 or 5 bottles of skratch hydration mix. I was pretty pleased with how I felt afterwards, though not how I normally fuel my rides.
