Hey there,

I've been playing RL for a few months now and I'm stuck in Gold 3/Plat 1. I'd say my game sense is much better than my mechanics but it's not like I'm flopping all over the field.

The problem I'm facing is that I get in a lot of teams where my mates just chase the ball almost non stop, contest every contact I try to make even when I have better angle/momentum, bump the ball 2 meters right before I'm about to make a shot or just generally cut in front of me when I'm trying to make a play. It makes the game really hard to read because someone always tries to go in from the weirdest angles with no clear intention, just to hit the ball.

I tend to ask for a rotation ("rota pls"/"jus

Copied from a friend - Paul Baluch, manager of German team Fixedpott:

#saveholycrit Ok its time to do something good! Someone already made a crowdfunding, so basically the only thing you must do is spread the Word and donate!

In December 2014 our friends Eric Khoo and Zul Awab were arrested by the Sigaporean Traffic Police after hosting an illegal bicycle race named "Holy Crit".

"Holy Crit" was one of the first asian fixed gear criteriums ever to happen. Eric and Zul have done a lot for the asian cycling community, for example supporting Faz Adhili, or helping Chen Zhencai to be the first Singaporean in "red Hook Crit". Erics Shop "Fixup Yourgear" is an institution for young and old cyc

I have the opportunity to get the 2015 Felt F1X for a cheap price, so the frame question is somewhat answered.

Part list so far:

Now for the wheelset... I really want the benefits of a thru axle wheelset and while my local shop recommends a cheap alloy clincher set like the Axium One for a training set, I've got my eyes on the DT Swiss R23 Spline DB. The adjustability when it comes to end caps seems great, it even offers the wantes benefits with regular QR levers, if needed (ca

So I've come down with an infection of my kidneys, leaving me in dull pain and about to throw up 90% of my time.

Took all the pills my doc prescribed and while they made it tolerable, I thought I'd light one up, just to see if it'll help.

All I can say is: WOAH!

I'm almost perfectly fine right now, with just a slight feeling of illness, but nothing grave.

The thought that it's still illegal in most places is ridiculous and it saddens me that many people won't experience this gift of nature.

tl;dr: Weed is the shit.

Hey guys,

I have casually ridden my track bike for the last 2 years and now decided to get into road racing. Bought a 2015 CAAD10 and am waiting on a CycleOps Fluid2 for the winter.

As my budget is pretty much spent for the next months at least, I was wondering about an idea I had.

From what I understand the Fluid2 has a set power curve that's tied to your speed. Obviously I'll be tracking my speed and heart rate, but could I possibly use my speed data to estimate my power output? Of course it wouldn't be ideal by any means, but as I won't be getting a power meter any time soon, would it be worth the calculating or would it be rather useless?

If I'm missing any obvious problems, please c
