New tyre require ??

It should be fine with large patch under that area to help it hold together. Otherwise you may get bulging.

Astana isn’t sponsored by Shimano so the larger 12sp sprockets aren’t available for them. Instead 11sp sprockets were adapted to fit the 12sp spindle.

Edit Bike Check

Lower back pain after 2-3km (see body text)

Wingman12r
commented

I named my Grizl “Pain Machine”. It was also my first drop bar bike.

Canyon seems to have a somewhat more aggressive body position than some other brands.

The first thing I did was got rid of the stock seat. For me the Ergon Sr Road fit well. My FSA crank set broke with in the first couple of weeks. I replaced it with a slightly shorter 165mm set with a wider Q factor. Finally got a slightly shorter stem and flipped it. Now I feel much more comfortable on the Pain Machine.

As others have mentioned stretching will also improve your comfort. Hamstring and lower back stretches with a few deep squats while activating the glutes also get me warmed up and ready.

That place used to be fairly busy and they would show UFC and PPV boxing. However the restrooms were always wrecked and service slowed down over the years. If the mgr would have kept the service fast and facilities nice i think they would have lasted longer.

PSA: don't do v02 intervals during a heatwave. Probable kidney damage.

It’s kind a funny story, this past year I had lost 50 pounds by cycling and eating better. Since all my workouts were cycling I lost a fair amount of mass from my arms and they were somewhat skinny.

So one night about a week before I started lifting the wife and I were getting “friendly”. She grabbed my arms and said “oh no Babe, just no”.

To say the least I was motivated when I hit the gym. I didn’t think I needed to take it too easy because at work I lift some heavy parts, and I had been giving my legs hell all summer.

PSA: don't do v02 intervals during a heatwave. Probable kidney damage.

replied to Wingman12r

Good news is that if you catch it early enough there won’t be any long term effects. The doctors will order an ultrasound on your kidneys and liver. If it’s serious you may also be put on dialysis.

It an acute condition. The chances of getting Rhabdo again are not any higher because you’ve already had it.

I was lifting again a few days after I was released from the hospital. Just ease into it again so your body has more time to adjust to the increased stress.

Definitely go to the doctor. They will test your CK levels and put you on an IV.

Source: I had Rhabdo this past November and spent 4 days in the ER. All summer long I could ride in 110+ South Texas heat, daylight savings ends and it’s now too dark after work to ride to I started lifting and gave myself Rhabdo.

Favorite Huffy Bike?

Wingman12r
replied to Coddingtown

It was the Huffy Primus for me. At the time Huffy was a cheap brand nobody wanted to be caught riding. Then I saw the Primus and was 👀.

Am i overtraining not recovering

Wingman12r
commented

I find that when I ride late in the afternoon or evening my sleep is affected. Especially in hotter weather or harder rides.

I can fall asleep easily but the quality of sleep is affected. My garmin watch says I get very little REM sleep on those nights. I find the “Huberman Sleep Stack” using Pillar triple magnesium helps me get better quality sleep.

Best cut?

Arrachera also has a much stronger beef flavor, almost gamey. If you’re into that.

I live in South Texas right on the Border, very similar in temp and climate to Phoenix. It amazes me how there is no such thing as Desert landscaping around here. Most houses have green lawns that can stay green in the extreme summer heat.

Upgrades

Wingman12r
commented

I put 2.1” MTB tires on my Grizl and loved it. I also like the oval chainrings. They feel more round to me. 46t up front with a 10-51 cassette out back. The s15 seat post and Ergon SR Road seat also made a big difference in comfort.

I just purchased a regular Caledonia 2 weeks ago. My dealer ordered it and had it within 5 business days.
