That doesn't make any sense considering banks are only open for like 5 hours a day.Apex wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 10:08 amBanker's Hours are turning into 14 hour days lately.[user not found] wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 10:05 am

FYI, Oct 27/28 is the Philly Bike Expo.
https://phillybikeexpo.com/
Unlikely to have much in the way of mountain bikes, but typically a lot of nice handmade style roadies and cross. Plus vendor booths with accessories and components, hubs (king, DT swiss, white, etc), all all sorts of expensive shiny stuff.

Rams are on set up tubeless. Ran out of Stans tape so had to use kapton tape. That shit can suck it. But whatever I’ll swap it out next week if this doesn’t hold.
Lost 2 lbs ish. SLX rotors look stupid. Tubeless was the reason for this and they set up real easy and hold the tire perfectly. I should be able to drop to 25 psi now.
Digging the silver hubs.

Oh hey look almost forgot I have a mountain bike. Rode about 18 miles in White Clay today with my friend Bobby.
Also. Go out and buy a speedsleev ranger right now. It’s worth it.

Also thinking I should order a Kickr Core. $900.... it'll pair with Zwift, TrainerRoad, Bkool, all those smart trainer based apps. Control it from iphone, or computer (which I don't really have) or zwift works with apple tv. So the apple tv is another $150-200 depending which one you get, and I'd need a TV in the pain cave so there's that cost too.
Zwift is now $15/mo, same as trainerroad, bkool is a little less. There are others. It'll also work with .gpx files, so if I bought a cycle computer like a Wahoo Elemnt and tracked my rides I could re-ride them indoors.
Thoughts? All in it's cheaper to get into and cheaper per month than the Peloton but a bit more to set up on your own.
I want to do more long distance rides next year, many start early in the season, and no way am I going to be able to do a 100 mile gravel pain fest if I don't train for it over the winter.
Maybe wait for a black friday deal.

The Garmins seem to be pretty popular around me, but everyone complains about them for one reason or another. The Wahoo one seems more simple to use while riding and uses your phone for route finding and turn-by-turn nav workhorse duties, which I think is pretty cool. Plus the fact the Wahoo cycle computers can control their trainers is pretty awesome.[user not found] wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 10:55 amDo what you want - whatever gets you into and keeps you in shape is a sound investment.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 9:46 am Also thinking I should order a Kickr Core. $900.... it'll pair with Zwift, TrainerRoad, Bkool, all those smart trainer based apps.

The Peloton made the most sense for me as it gets the wife into doing bike stuff, and she won't go to the gym and I hate going to the gym.
I do want to get a GPS computer for next year, though. Been keeping an eye on the Wahoo lineup.
IDK. A lot of money. We will wait and see what black friday brings wise.

There were a few times last year it would have come in really handy for me. If I'm spending a bunch of money on a cycle computer it may as well have that[user not found] wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 11:42 amTurn by turn nav doesn't matter too much for me, I've got that mental GPS ability. But would be nice for riding in unfamiliar areas.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 11:07 am

40 mile bike ride on the roadie last night. 20 MPH average speed. Not bad for a solo ride, but it was totally flat (SRT) and 15 MPH headwind for the first half. Just an out and back since I knew at least half the ride would be in the dark, cheesesteak land to Norristown and back. It's pitch black on that trail if you're by yourself at night. But at least you're not going to get run over by cars
Always forget how quick the Cervelo is. And how it rides hard. The steelie is smoother by far. I gotta get the new rams fixed (re-tape the front wheel) and throw the slicks on the old wheelset, try it out as a roadie. ALSO it appears my airboater fix for the seat clamp has WORKED. No seatpost slippage that I saw last night. I'll have to double check today to see if it dropped at all but this is excellent news.
I def need new lights. My current one is.... ok I guess. But I was out riding it at 20-25 MPH on the path. Has a dark spot in the middle of the beam right where you want the most light. So new lights here I come. Thinking I'll get some gloworms. Maybe 2 of these:

Also. Telling you guys. Speedsleev, do it. $35 for the ranger, it holds a multi tool, 2 tire levers, 2 co2's, and 1 MTB or 2 road tubes. Installs literally in seconds.
http://www.speedsleev.com/product/speedsleev-ranger/
Been swapping it between bikes, all I gotta do is throw the right tube for that bike in it and I'm good. Instead of CO2s I have a quick glue patch kit, and hold a mini pump in my jersey pocket.
