Yellow is the color of bed-wetters, that's for sure.

Red for speed
Black for aero
White for vibration dampening
Adjust the proportions to your desired ride quality

just don't combine the three, that's a fred bike

your legs aren't going to get that big from only riding. if they do start to get that big, it means you're lifting, so just try doing literally any lift other than deadlifts and squats

Since you are asking this, don't worry about it, as it takes a lot of effort (read squatting, dealifting) to reach that level of t-rex.

Train by far.

Tubus + Ortlieb master race

No others need apply, if you do not have this exact combo you might as well dangle walmart bags from the handlebars of your walmart BSO as you awkwardly pedal at 45 RPM on the sidewalk

>>1068468
yeah haha.. that would be pretty dumb..

*shoves walmart bags under the bed

Get a rear rack and attach a milk crate (or similar) to it with hose clamps

fucking legend

worked there, too corporate to feel like a comfy LBS and the pay was shit

>>1068229
Which location did you work at? Do you work at a different LBS now and if so which one? I agree with you (working there off and on) and considering working at a different LBS.

There should be a BMI requirement for lycra, with a license renewal every 6 months.

She looks just fine, you gormless twunt.

You have to go back to your containment board. No one cares that the lizard people and (((soros))) here.

Yup, all you need is a point of reference to spot a wobble. Sometimes I just use the brake pads as a reference for a quick adjustment. On my truing stand I use a dial indicator and adjustable arm which makes it easy to find the most out of true spots quickly.

Once you find an out of true spot, just pluck the spokes like guitar strings to find the one whose pitch is lower than the ones next to it.

>>1067824
>dial indicator
>spoke sounds
Okay.. you need to have someone who actually knows how to true wheels show you the right way to do it.

You do not need the accuracy of a dial indicator. The arms on your truing stand are more than enough.

Spoke tension does not equal loose spoke(s). The tension of each spoke can be different, especially if the wheel in question has had at least one broken spoke over the course of it's lifetime.

I don't even own a truing stand or trust myself to true a wheel on my own bikes and I know these things. Please update your knowledge and skills before advising others, thanks.

Implying having wheels trued to less than 5/1000 of an inch is wrong.

How about entering a blimptrain into the race?

>>1067620
Then there can be no real victor, ergo no proper race.

Groovy.

>He needs to eat to do 40 miles rides.

You don't unless it's a race. Just put some sugar and salt in your water.

>>1066820
well I was told "dude youre gonna be burning like 4 thousand calories...you know you have to eat a ton or you'll be dropping pounds every week"

Personally, I don't want to have to eat a lot, and I don't think I needed it that bad when I did a test ride. But it is slightly precarious in my situation since I'm already way under a normal BMI.

I think I'm going to maybe just have some grilled fish after a ride or and a food pouch, but I think you are right because for 30 miles I wasn't feeling like I was starving to death or sick.
