Ich hoffe das passt hier irgendwie rein, da es um eine wichtige Geschäftsbeziehung geht. Ich bin von einem guten Vertrauten eingeladen worden mit ihm, seiner Frau und einigen Freunden der Familie den ersten Geburtstag seiner Tochter zu feiern. Der gute Mann ist Anfang 50 und seine Frau wohl Mitte 40. Ich bin 23. Was meint ihr, wäre ein angemessenes und schönes Geschenk? Beschenkt man hier nur die Eltern oder auch die Tochter?

Hey people, I'm racing in two weeks and couldn't prioritize my training to the point I wanted to. I'm racing on a course with 41 kms and 870 meters of elevation which is only one large round.
Do you guys have any tips for the last two weeks of training and how I could find my race pace?
I use a heartbeat monitor but not a powermeter.
Thank you in advance!!!

Sehe ich das richtig, dass ich nach Zahlung des geforderten Beitrags innerhalb der Frist NICHT zu einem im Brief angekündigten Termin erscheinen muss?

Ich hoffe, hier im richtigen Sub gelandet zu sein.
Außerdem gehe ich davon aus, dass das eine Frage ist die national beantwortet wird, ist das richtig? Also Flair DE?

Danke vorab

Wohne im Gießener Raum und über unserem Kopf fliegen diese Woche ständig Kampfjets. Habt ihr eine Idee warum die gerade hier rumfliegen oder wen man dazu fragen könnte?

Hey you guys and girls,
I‘m riding a race gravel bike, equipped with the Specialized Pathfinders in 40mm for the summer months because I find myself riding a lot of road with roadie friends.
Last week i tested my friends road bike and it was so incredibly faster that I wondered where that difference really comes from and how i could improve the setup for the asphalt.
If you people could help me explaining where the main difference in speed comes from I‘d highly appreciate that!
Also I was wondering if it’s really true, that the pathfinder rolls the fastest at roundabout 3.1 bar?
I used the silca.cc calculator to figure that out with a system weight of 97kgs and an average speed of 27/28 kmh on pavement. Does anyone have more experience with those tires?
Thank you all in advance 🙏🏼

Hey you guys nd girls,
i need advice on the topic above. I drive a hardtail Specialized Rockhopper with Sram Eagle SX. It comes with a one by 30 tooth chainring, which is too small for me. That‘s mainly because of the flat environment.
That‘s why I want to upgrade for „a bigger gear“. Is there any way to guess if I should go for a 34 or 36er ring? I‘d appreciate any advice on that!

Hey guys, I'm looking for a XC fully with an aluminium frame. I think i'd destroy a carbon frame way too fast.
Nevertheless I can't find any options other than the Specialized Chisel (which isn't available anymore with the higher equipment), the Canynon Neuron (only a trail bike, not especially a XC rocket), and the Orbea Oiz (also almost sold out in the alu varient).
Do you guys could give me some advice whether carbon really is that bad of an option for a MTB? Do you know if and when Orbea and particularly Specialized are restocking?
And most importantly: Do you have any recommendations on other alu XC bikes?
Thanks in advance u rockets!!!
