Balsamo got married today, at what seems to be a ren-faire She looks lovely and very happy
>>144796125There was a man in Netherlands who drove a train for a living.He loved his job, driving a train had been his dream ever since he was a child.He loved to make the train go as fast as possible.Unfortunately, one day he was too reckless and caused a crash.He made it out, but one person died.He went to court over this incident.He was found guilty, and was sentenced to death by electrocution.When the day of the execution came he requested a single banana as his last meal.After eating the banana he was strapped into the electric chair.The switch was flown, sparks flew and smoke filled the air but nothing happened.The man was perfectly fine.There was an old Dutch law that said a failed execution was a sign of divine intervention, so the man was allowed to go free.And he managed to get his old job back.Having not learned his lesson at all he went right back to driving the train with reckless abandon.Once again he caused a train to crash, this time killing two people.The trial yet again resulted in a sentence of execution.For his final meal, the man requested two bananas.After eating the bananas he was strapped into the electric chair.The switch was thrown, sparks flew, smoke filled the room and the man was once again unharmed.He was free to go and got his old job back.He crashed yet another train and killed three people.And he found himself being sentenced to death.On the day of his execution he requested his final meal: three bananas."You know what? No" said the executioner "I've had it with you and your stupid bananas and walking out of here unharmed. I'm not giving you a thing to eat, we're strapping you in and doing this now" It was against protocol but the man was strapped in to the electric chair without a last meal.The switch was pulled, sparks flew, smoke filled the room and the man was still unharmed.The executioner was speechless.The man looked at the executioner and said "Oh the bananas had nothing to do with it. I'm just a bad conductor"

>https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/oct/01/tadej-pogacar-has-delivered-an-alternative-reality-for-the-true-believers"Perhaps the reality is that around every great athlete grow two fictions: an elegant and an inelegant version. And which we prefer, which version makes more sense to us, says something about how we process our world. Are we fated to be profane and fearful, to live in suspicion and mutual vigilance, wary of one another? Or is there still a beauty beyond corruption, a hope beyond futility, a wonder beyond cynicism, a clean break to win the world championship from 100km out? I don’t have the answers, and nor do you. But I know what fiction I’d rather live in."

By the following year, the organization had raised $1 million from the likes of Pierre Omidyar's Humanity United, the Skoll Foundation, and the Conrad N.

Which team is the goat going to
>Blick managed to identify two riders who were riding in Furrer's wake and decided to contact their cycling federations. In conversations that were held, it was confirmed that the two juniors formed a group of three with Furrer at the time of the events. The rider in Furrer's wheel may have seen the Swiss rider deviate from her line, without having noticed the fall itself or its impact.Told you some young girls are feeling very guilty atm
>>144803237Imagine just riding on when someone goes off the road. I don't buy that thet didn't notice the fall.

Can someone tell me why its impossible to maintain the same high level of shape throughout the entire year even though the training load remains more or less constant? Why does the body cycle through states of better and worse condition like this?
>>144805228moon phases
>>144805228You can keep a high level the entire year, you just won't peak and won't be at your absolute best
>>144805268Yeah I guess you're right. Seems you get like 2-3 peaks during the year with a period of a few weeks where you set new pr's and elevate your best level only to then fall back but to a slightly better new foundation
>>144804693>>144804682It has nothing to do with rain. Rain comes from the west (always in this region) and is actually quite abundant at the Croatian coast, as warm, humid air raises quickly from the sea due to Dinaric mountains. Many coastal areas recieve above 2000 mm of rain per year. The landscape is barren due to limestone and very frequent northeast "bora" wind, which is especially strong in the spring. Limestone bedrock can only develop thin soils and those are immediately swept away by the wind.

UCI wards off protest from Latvia: no disqualification of Van der Poel for jump on footpath during World Cup>The Latvian Cycling Federation has written an open letter to express its displeasure that the UCI did not disqualify Mathieu van der Poel at the World Championships. The Dutchman endangered spectators on the sidewalk, the Latvian federation ruled. According to UCI regulations, that is punishable by disqualification. Consequently, the bronze medal went to Latvian Tom Skuijns.>Not only the Latvian federation, but also all TV viewers had seen that Mathieu van der Poel wobbled briefly on the footpath at 58 km from the finish to answer an attack in the chasing group. That only lasted about 10 meters, but regulations are regulations, the Latvian federation thinks.>“According to UCI regulation 2.12.007, rule 7.6, a rider who jumps onto the footpath and endangers the public or other riders must be immediately disqualified,” the federation wrote in the open letter.>A rider riding on the footpath is fined 200 to 1,000 Swiss francs (213 to 1,066 euros) according to the regulations, the Latvians noted. “But Van der Poel wasn't even fined,” they said.>“However, the real problem is that he endangered spectators, an offense that was consistently punished earlier this year with the disqualification of Marlen Reusser in Gent-Wevelgem, but also, for example, with Luke Rowe in the 2018 Tour of Flanders.”>It seems some are more right than others, particularly when it comes to unpopular decisions.>The Latvian league is left with a pack of questions: “We are deeply concerned about this decision. If Van der Poel had collided with a spectator, was it good or bad for our sport?”

rimbreak experts I need youwhat do I do here? every time I pull the brake leaver, it won't fully open up again. it seems there is not a lot of tension on the brake cablesee:https files catbox moe/eqlym6.mp4
>>144807933WD40
>>144807933disassemblecleanlubricateyou can try only the lubricate step firstalso, depending on the exact brake model, try to increase the release spring pre tension (= bend the spring, but do not break it...)
>>144807933how old are the cables? did you lube them? are they routed horribly?
>>144807993not lubed since probably 2017>>144807988>>144807993what lube do you recommend for the cable - can I use regular wet lube or all purpose grease?
>>144807830Shed some weight off. It's a climbing bike isn't it
>>144808079the brake is stuck not the cable, disassemble and clean that or spray something on every screw or somake sure you dont hit the rim or the brake pads
>>144808079use bacon grease or lard for extra WATTS
>>144808079Normally, you don't need to lube the "cable".There are different quality cables, the hull should be very stiff to deliver breaking (or shifting) force and not compress the hull, and the liner on the inside should be made out of Nylon, or better PTFE (Teflon).If you lube the liner, it initially helps, but it also attracts dirt, so in the long term performance gets worse.tl:dr:cables wear out (hull looses stiffness, liner gets dirty, and cables also lengthen), get new ones
>>144808211Oh, and there are also sealed and unsealed end caps:Sealed for bad weather, but more friction, unsealed for dry weather and less friction.
wowee replacing parts as they wear out? next you'll tell me to pump my tires before I go on rides
>>144808277>this nigga still pumping his tires in 2024
>>144808277never pumped a tire in my life, I just pump more watts
>>144808311does it count as me pumping when its actually chinese lithium ion cells doing the work?
>>144808277right, you can still ride with squeaking brakes:the additional resistance increse your FTP, and the soft brake cables make your hands stronger to strangle your opponents!(can't find cav_chokes_pogi.jpg)
>>144808349sounds like pump cuckolding idk

>>144808834>van der falkstrange name for Germansturns out they were in a Belgian team before that, with Sente SENTJENS no less. I smell mercs
>>144808079In my experience you might as well change the cables and housing, cleaning and lubbing the cables is mostly useless in the short run if the housing is contaminated (which it probably is if it got to that point where the brake is stuck)

>>144810079But there are boomer games.For me, it's 4x and grand strategy.And complicated stuff in general.Sometimes I also consider coding as gaming...

>>144811616Yeah, 9/10 it's biggest flaw for me it's how fucking huge it is. Teenage me would say otherwise, but it's just too much to juggle between having a life and playing that. I had 2 playthroughs (one blind) and took me months and months. Now the DLC I just looked up as I went what I wanted to do.
>>144812154I regret buying it, I don't have the time for that kind of open-ended exploring these days + I'm terrible at that style of combat
>>144812353I find Elden Ring the less punishing souls game, you can just explore and explore and get some OP weapon, summon, and whatnot
>>144812154Boomer mindset is to just look up the meta strats and strategy and walkthroughs for games these days (aside from stuff like maybe Outer Wilds).Honestly, I do not have time for multiple playthroughs of 40+ hour games like I did 15 or 20 years ago. I'm going to play it once (probably), give me the highlights and make it fun
speaking of boomer hobbies, i continue my exploration of wine.This northern Rhone syrah is quite good, very interesting and different. Almost like a rauchbier.

Here is a complete list of every rider who has beaten Tadej Pogacar in a grand tour. Jonas RasmussenPrimoz RoglicAlejandro Valverde Belmonte
>>144827015Which of the up-coming hopes could take Pog on?
>>144827201>august>seixas>widar>torres
>>144827201
>>144827299He's doing the Vingegaard playbook. Be shit for some years, then get too good.
>>144827201I wonder what rider was beaten by the fewest riders throughout their whole career. Merckx has a 8th and 9th and 6th in grand tours. Usually your first one wouldn't be going for GC so most riders are ruled out immediatelyoh shitIt's gotta be Hinaultonly Lemond and Fignon ever beat himthat's gotta be it
>>144823664I hate pogacar so much it's unreal. Little goodie two shoes bender.
