Hope you're doing fine mate. Miss your content about cycling, workshop and everything that you've honestly said on your videos. Hope to see you soon again.
How did you get a proper chainline with your quarq dforur and DA 9100 chainrings, how many spacers or shims did you have to use? In my case when I tune the front deraileur I can't trim it more inward cause the poor chainline it's get.
Hey Jon just came across ur old video but here’s my problem , I have a recently brand new (2022) trek mondone slr7 , it seem that every time while I am seated I’m riding I keep hearing strange noise coming frm maybe my crank or bracket but I’m als told it maybe iso speed decouples but what ever it is it only happens when I’m riding in the saddle. Would u have any idea what it maybe pls respond .thnks Kelly R
I’ve been a cyclist since I was a teenager. When I reached my late 20’s, I was eating fast food every day and gained about 35 pounds. I struggled to lose weight. In my late 30’s I made a bold decision to drop the fast-food habit and prepared my own meals. I kept my exercise routine going, mostly cycling. Eventually, I started losing weight. **I did not starve or fast**. My current diet consists mostly of eggs, rice, beans, oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, lean meat, protein shakes, and a modest pastry to satisfy the sweet tooth. So, a mixture of all the major food groups. The interesting thing is I have no cravings for fast food anymore making it easy to adhere to my healthier diet. I ended up dropping close to 40 pounds, about 5 to 10 pounds under my competitive weight. Now I alternate between cycling, stretching and core training. Therefore, what worked for me was the traditional method, good diet and exercise and do it consistently. Getting sufficient rest is also important. Stick to it and you will lose weight!
I lost a lot of weight during the covid lock downs while biking, of course I was doing 32 mile bike rides daily split into two 16 miles bike rides daily, once in the morning after waking up and once before sleeping, when your biking like that you can eat whatever you want within moderation, I was eating 7 eleven hots dogs when I was hydrating from a ride but then again I was burning 1 pound of calories a day of the rides alone
I lost 20lbs doing 14 hour fasting daily, it took sometime to adjust, but now im very used to it and i can live this lifestyle for the rest of my life comfortably. I also ride my bike a lot.
We split our group rides into A and B, where the A group consists of experienced racers who simulate race tactics. The idea is to drop everyone. The B rides focus on keeping group together, paceline techniques and helping newbies.
Jon, who is your "trusted" source to replacement parts? I'm talking about chains, cassettes, etc. With chains, for example, counterfeit items pop up routinely and, advertised as it they are authentic Shimano products. Amazon? Local bike shop? Thanks
Lezyne makes two different types of pumps. High pressure/Low volume (road), or Lower pressure/ large volume (gravel/mtb). Each pumps more efficiently for its type of tire.
Im Cyclist 5,7 133 lb I ride 4k to 5k miles per year there is times my weight is down to 120lb Of course I get Medical attention from my (Sister) also she draw Blood every 4 months. I can understand your situation and Im glad that you figure it out before failure! Great work!!!
I think, with 2024 shimano 105 Di2 system RD-R7150, battery BT-DN300, we no longer need EW-WU111 for connecting the garmin computer edge 530 or 830. Is this correct ??
There are old riders, there are bold riders, but there are no old bold riders. Old timers rule: Don’t join a group ride until you’ve mastered rollers, which means you can balance yourself without dabbing or grabbing a support for 45 minutes. The main thing is to be able to hold a real line no matter what
Wise words from both of you. I'm 70 now, so getting dropped is a given. But I tell myself "hey at least I'm out there". I also remind myself that if I could magically de-age 40 years, I could mop the road with these guys. Maybe yes, maybe no, but it makes me feel better ;-).
Hi Jon, Thanks for your video! My English is not very good, so I'm asking this based on my understanding: Can I use R9200 52/36 chainrings with an R9100 11/28 cassette and R9100 front and rear derailleurs with an 11-speed chain? Will it work? Does it need adjustment of the derailleur? If it doesn't work, what would I need to change to make it work? I appreciate your help!
I’ve drafted back and forth with people quite a lot without speaking. I’m of the opinion that if you can barely eek by me and I kinda stick to you, you’re fine with it esp if you start pointing stuff out. In that case, I don’t get full draft bc I’m prob 5 ft off. But I’ll also pass back and share the load. Usually we when someone peels off, someone will yell good ride. If you blow by me quick or don’t give signals, I get that you’re not into it. If someone hangs on my wheel and I don’t like it, I’ll drop them on a short climb and they can’t catch up. You did nothing wrong.
A couple days ago I was harassed by a TN state trooper, basically I was riding in the right lane while it was empty around 12:30am, just got off work. Bro turns around to come tell me how easy I can die which ik and then he kept telling me to shut up or he was gonna arrest me. I filed a complaint and their doing an investigation. I was fully lit up with my lights on blink and was doing about 25-30ish. Bro told me I need to keep my ass on the shoulder yet the shoulders in Bedford county are littered with trash, glass, broken car parts, gravel and dead animals and trucker alligators. On 25mm tires? Gravel and glass ain't ideal.
Completely agree with you on this. I had a similar situation happen where I approached a couple who were riding together one day and they were clearly riding at a slower pace than I was. I called out ‘on your left’ and passed but the guy for some reason decided to jump on my wheel and left his wife behind! I looked back and saw him on my wheel but he didn’t say anything. I could tell he was struggling to hold my pace and I was similarly annoyed that he just jumped on without saying anything. So after a few minutes I decided to crank up the pace and drop him. After all, his wife was probably more annoyed than I was 😅
Eat after your bike ride.. not during.. digestion stops when we are doing physical activity. You can drink though during a ride like juice or one of those fruit pouches.
Id suggest a better container to shape the rice slab better (only for shape purposes) as well the wrapping paper should be parchment paper as the foil may stick depending on the texture. I will try your recipe, I can imagine with all that sugar they would turn out rather sweet
Hey Man, This video was EXCELLENT!!! I've been trying to figure this out for months and I finally found this video which helps tremendously. Thanks you so much for being clear and presenting all of the positive and negative aspects of each device. Also, having the pricing information was helpful too. Peace and blessings my friend, keep up the great work. I have liked and subscribed and will check out your other videos. Take care.
I have a T2 Classic with the 2 bike add on. To mount the 4 bike setup I recommend starting with the "Add On" disconnected and only mounting the Rack, then once in the hitch receiver with the rack in the down position now mount the "Add On" rack. There are only two bolts to secure the "Add On" to the rack. At this point you may find it easer to put the rack in the vertical position to add and tighten the two bolts. It's a lot easier to manage alone both from the standpoint of lifting and aligning. And I don't always need the 4 bike setup. This is my recommendation.
I ride in the country. I don’t care about the sound being elegant and high quality. Don’t care about the microphone. I listen to audio lectures of all sorts, so What I really care about is the noise canceling. The wind noise cancels out the sound in AirPod Pros and Sony 4000 and 5000 mx. and both are uncomfortable after 30-40 minutes. Bose QC ultras are the best that I’ve tried for noise cancellation and they are reasonably comfortable. Suggestions anyone?
