Jerseys and gilets from Spexcel

Bibs from YKYWBIKE

Ride Now TPU tubes are bomb proof

Radar Tail Light and heart rate monitor from Magene (although I haven't tried the Garmin ones)

OG-Evkin Drop Bars

Things I wouldn't recommend

Glasses from Kapvoe (shit quality and risky in a crash)

OG-Evkin seat post (quality is good, but the way the seat attaches is prone to seize and difficult to adjust)

So they made the immigration minister the housing minister and now he wants to cut immigration? When all you have is a hammer...

What theme is that? Looks just like sync for lemmy

The scary part is how many people just don't seem to care. Hey, did you know you can get cheap bullshit on Temu? The idea that you'll one day have to compete for your job with someone with an implant is scary, not for them because they signed up at betterhelp.com to have a professional talk them off a ledge once a week. Hopefully they won't be much of a threat because of all the single people in their area. Also, boner pills anyone?

I agree with you though

Here's my vague understanding of why this happens with melatonin; if someone can correct me I'll have learned something.

Taking supplements your body naturally produces, like melatonin, creatine, and some weight loss products in large doses makes your body turn off its own production. You're also training your body to process and live with more than it needs, and considering it always wants to reach homeostasis, you end up needing more of it to have the same effect (like many drugs).

Back in the 90's a lot of people on diet pills ended up gaining a lot of weight back once they stopped taking the pill because their bodies took a long time to produce the same chemicals naturally, having essentially been overdosed for a while.

Yes but it's risky. The poop on the 4th day may make you have to retile your bathroom.

That and movies just suck nowadays. This is partially old man yelling at cloud stuff but also true since the death of DVD's means studios won't take risks anymore since they can't recoup funds after a poor box office.

 

So I started with Plantar Fasciitis in both feet earlier this year and used running and cycling to finally lose weight and get in shape...ish. My right foot is back to normal but still dealing with pain in my left foot.

While regular running seems to be helping me, I ran my second 5k race and had to limp for the next 12 hours in excruciating pain. It seems the intensity is what makes running go from helpful to counterproductive.

I've seen running shoes and fitting services advertise their consideration for plantar fasciitis and wondering what this exactly entails. As far as I know the issue is mostly connected to my calf and lower leg and I never have any discomfort while actually running. Do these shoes do anything besides having more cushioning for the heel? I'm in Hoka Clifton 8's and can't imagine any more cushioning.

Does anyone have experience with buying shoes that "address" this or have any other insights?

Obviously seeing a doctor is the most important factor but I'm curious what experiences people have outside of that.

 

Started running once or twice a week ever since my company signed up for a corporate 5K and I'm interested in tracking progress and pacing myself without pulling a phone out (I use a Garmin bike computer when cycling).

I'm not looking for a full featured smartwatch, just a cheap way to track pace and distance, possibly a map option if I decide to spend a bit more. What are your recommendations for a beginner watch?

Thanks!

Shortening shifter cable (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by hypnotoad@sh.itjust.works to c/bikewrench@lemmy.world
 

I've turned my Poseidon X into more of a road bike and swapped a 46cm bar for a much more comfortable 40cm. The microshift groupset has an externally routed shifter cable that was purposefully long to accommodate a bar bag, but it's now almost hitting my left hand. If I were to cut the cable shorter and feed it back into the derailleur, would I need to index my gears or can I just adjust the tightness with my barrel adjuster and be on my way?
