That was disappointing. I was hoping to see what the ride looked like, or at least a reasonable description of how I can find these places (names I'm not familiar with). A Stava or RideGPS route link would have been cool, too. Spending most of the video pimping a product is why you just lost me as a subscriber.

You can't see because the sweat is in your eyes so ditch the helmet and wear a cap. I'm sure you could have paid someone a couple of bucks to take your helmet to the top so you would have it for the descend or just carry it your handlebars. The cap works to channel the sweat off your face. I can't wear a helmet in the summer because I sweat like a water tap.

I used Squirt for years, then I tried the OZ way immersive waxing and then I went back to Squirt because I wasn't able to de-grease my new chain properly and that is mandatory for the system to work. I really saw the benefits of immersive waxing so I tried the Silca way of doing it. I am not going back to any other system any time soon this works so nice! I just waxed a new chain and put that chain strip tablet in the pot temperature up to 125c leave it there for 10min bring the temp down to 75c and when it's there you are done and your chain wil never get dirty again, magic stuff. For vacation I use there Super Secret drip on chain wax. It is perfection to me.

Another advice: I noticed the cycling socks make a noticeable difference. Very thin Italian socks tend to be more slippery and less secure. I used Shimano ankle socks which have some slightly thicker areas on the heel and front and they provide a noticeable better fit in the shoe than the very thin.

I think for cyclists, the main scenario is you cannot control the zone 2 and it will goes up eventually on zone 3 and 4 on your subconcious ride. So cycling is about more of a pyramidal training rather than the polarized training.

What does the meaning of "not feeling beat up after a ride" on a carbon fiber bike? Does it apply on aluminum bike?
@cyclinginsoutherncalifornia 22 күн бұрын
With some bikes, the way they’re designed, they’re very “stiff.” You feel every bump on the road, every vibration, your ass feels like you’re sitting on bleachers at a hot school football game, etc. That’s aluminum. That’s why almost all aluminum bikes come with carbon forks. Those carbon forks absorb the vibrations better. If you’re on a budget, get an aluminum bike. It’ll have carbon forks anyway. You’ll never notice a difference until you try a carbon bike. Also, geometry of the bike makes a difference and has closed the gap between carbon and aluminum, thus the aluminum bikes now are damn awesome. I had a 1990’s aluminum bike and it was like riding a 2x4, but my current aluminum bikes is world’s apart. It also helps to be beat up at least once in your life so that you can understand the comparisons… ha ha.
@diegoeleazar9154 22 күн бұрын
@@cyclinginsoutherncalifornia the tire clearance of modern aluminum bikes are wider compared to older rim brakes. Which is you put a 28c or 30c tires to decrease vibrations?

Try a Chaoyang tyre like the Viper Duro they still use kevler rather than a nylon breaker @ 120TPI and way better value. TPI is not always equal as some manufactures count it differently. Its been well documented that 120 tpi is optimal. Gatorskins use 3x 60tpi clothes to achieve 180tpi so its not a true 180tpi tire . A tire with 1 layer 120tpi would be better/stronger.

Just got the MX238. Agree completely, though the gravel version (suede) has a different better tongue. Until they adapt the lasts, we wide footed folks will have to put up with the loose heel in walking. But…there is literally no alternative. Fortunately, the carbon fiber footbed is ridiculously stiff. And there is so much volume in the shoe I can slip in a lift to palate my leg length discrepancy. I agree with the Shimanos, I wore some for years. But the Lake shoes are game changing. Improved power transfer, better comfort and fitment. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! (Ps, their website is very helpful and will lay out in a matrix all the shoes, all the widths and lasts, and CRITICALLY, the widths in mm per size. The MX238 looks to me to be their widest last in the wide size.

I vacation in California and have climbed Decker before. I really enjoyed that but I was there last November when these crazy Ef'n winds of 60mph where hitting the Thousand Oaks area and my dumbass brain decided to go down Mulholland to the coast. I was so scared because I thought I was going to get blown over the cliffs. Staying on the bike was only possible at around 5mph. Never want to experience that again. Another nice descend I enjoy is Potrero Rd. down to the coast.
