i had a hard tail stolen from me that fit and felt pretty well… had nice parts added to it by a coworker who sold it pretty cheap..
1 week later i got to see the thief ride away on it
right in front of my face.
now i have an airtag, and a “good” set of kryptonite lock and cable. hopefully the three will stop a thief

I have had this for years and never really rode it. I got it when I was delivering food on a bicycle and a rode a TON. My delivery bike was stolen and i got this to replace it. I liked my first bike 1000% better than this one. This particular bike isn't set up great for me and makes my hands numb really fast and is generally uncomfortable
Turns out I have 0 fun riding on roads if I'm not on a mission and playing around in traffic.
I think I'm gonna sell it.

couldnt find an appropriate section in off topic… but this ebike is used for my commute to school, and then on the off-weekend to the field a few miles down the road…
getting to school with my art portfolio is no problem, its loading up 1.5 peoples’ worth of gear to the field. It takes a 55L filled to the brim to bring 2 markers and my gear
Just bought a rear rack, and am wondering if there are any suggestions for American made pannier bags or saddle bags in the budget of 50-150 for a pair
hoping for 20L minimum per bag.
and heres my whipAttached FilesLeave a comment:

One you get a bike designed for road work, you'll be doing 20 miles in that amount of timeOriginally posted by boomersruckus View PostLeave a comment:

Free time during daylight is why I ride on Zwift. I work a 10 hour day and have an hour commute each way so my free daylight hours are 0 most day. Zwift allows me to ride at night and for as long as I want. I do try to get out 1 day a week and do a longer road ride but with so much going on in the summer free time is at a premium.Originally posted by boomersruckus View PostLeave a comment:

I ride a 2015 Diamondback Line mountain bike with road tires. I do a 15 mile circuit Monday to Friday. The Diamondback is not even remotely adequate for the roadwork I am putting it through but its what I have. Its a 9 speed meant for climbing and bombing down hill trails, not long road riding. I am saving up to get an endurance bike. Id like to get to 20 miles daily but have time constraints at the moment which only allows for about 70 to 75 minutes of riding before I got to get ready for work. Eventually I want to hit longer rides on the weekends. I hate/love riding....Leave a comment:

I would go with 11 speed for the time being, all of the 12 speed systems are Di2 (and will most likely require you to get a new hub for your rear wheel as they use a new cassette body called microspline) they make a mechanical 11 speed ultegra RX800 rear that can run up to a 39 in the back, I run one on my cross/gravel bike an 11-32 on a 50-34 crank I have never had much to gripe about with the gearing.. -
I did the 50 mile ride that I've been training for today. It started pouring as soon as we started riding and I was completely soaked before even leaving the parking lot. It stopped raining as I was pulling into the mile 40 rest stop. I took off my jacket which was caked in mud from going on 3 miles of dirt roads and finished the ride in my jersey.
Even with the rain it was a great day and I had a lot of fun.
I'm going to look into either a 11-36 cassette or the 48/31 crank when Shimano releases the 12 speed GRX. There was 1 climb that I really wanted another gear but was out. I made it up but I was pushing much harder than I would've liked. I prefer to spin my way up the hills.
Next up for me is a ride in 2 months that's the same distance but with twice the climbing.Leave a comment:

I did my first Zwift race last night, stage 4 of the Cobble Crusher series. I did it instead of the normal group pace ride that I would've normally done not for the race aspect. I had the same goal that I had when I did the Zwift fondo at the beginning of the month, don't finish last. Being my first race I didn't know what to expect and hadn't rode the route before. It immediately broke into 2 groups and stragglers off the back. I went to hard staying with the second group and was at my limit by the time I made it to the start of the KOM at the end. I lost the group and finished the ride at my own pace. One of the stragglers caught and passed me at the top of the KOM but I ended up finishing before the rest of them did.
At the end of the ride I got a popup from Zwift saying that my FTP went up 14 watts based on that ride. I was planning on retaking a FTP test at the end of next week when my 12 week training plan is up but I may pass on doing that and wait.Leave a comment:

It fit was $300 but he took $100 off the total because I bought a saddle and insoles while I was there. The motion capture was peddling for a few minutes, stop and then he’d make an adjustment and do it again. They had a trainer that you bike was and and it wasn’t strenuously. -
What's the price in something like that? I'm not sure I'm at the level I need to do a mo-capLeave a comment:

I had a Retul fit, you can find videos and a lot of info about it. They use motion capture sensors but he also went off of how I get as well. I was there for about 2.5 hours.
I don’t know how far you are from Worcester but that’s where I had mine done at Landry’s.Leave a comment:

A good bike fit goes a long way.. i have been riding regularly since 2015, you can just SEE when someone isnt fit right, their mechanics are offOriginally posted by BLachance75 View PostI finally got to ride outside today. It was a welcome change to all the indoor riding I’ve been doing. Did 20 miles.
I had a bike fit a few weeks ago and I feel way better on the bike. They ended up moving my seat post up, new saddle, added pedal washers and extended axle pedals, cleat adjustments, insoles, and a wedge under my right cleat. Overall I’m very happy that I did it and think it was worth the money.Leave a comment:
