The so called titanium base saddle cracked in 94 days and I cant get a refund or leave a bad review. So be aware that it's a shit saddle and probably not even titanium.
I always had size 42 (27cm) authentic/era Vans and usually they didnt last long. As I have wide feet every single one of them had holes at the wides section of my feet and the plastic parts around that area always thorn.
I had the same experience with my Nike and Assists shoes with the whole problem. They were both 42.5 (27cm). So I bought On Cloud shoe which is size 43 (27,5) cm and it is the most comfortable shoes I have ever have. No pinching at the sides of my feet at all and there is enough room.
I need to buy Authentic/Era model Vans for my flat pedal bicycle and casual wearing. I'm not sure if I should go with size 42.5 (27.5cm )or 43(28cm) as Vans shoes runs narrower.
I would like to get your opinions. Thanks.
I'm not so sure about my saddle position. When the pedal at 6 o'clock position and I extend my leg I can touch the pedal with the heel of my shoes. As you can see fro the second pic my knees doesnt align perfectly with the middle section of the pedal. I have seen many bike fitting videos and fitter always try to align it vertically. I pushed the saddle as forward as it gets within its limit and dont want to push more as it will put too much weight on my hands.
By the way my arms looks straight as I was trying to balance the bike against the wall and I had stiff neck. So I wasnt too relaxed there.
I dont have major issues when I cycle but I always try to improve.
My current issues are saddle sores after 1,5 hour riding. I have one bibs underwear I tried and it was very uncomfortable around the genitals area. I had to adjust all the times. I sometimes gets slight numbness on hands and foot but a little of bit position change and foot shaking will fix it. My left knee also hurts a little sometimes. As I dont use clits it may because of the position I put my foot on the pedal.
I ordered a cycling underwear as I hate looks of bibs. I had no sit bone pain what soever and it felt comfortable but at the same time it was awful at the front end. I had to make adjustments every 5 minutes and it felt awful. I normally go with boxer shorts and sport shorts so it always feels breezy down there but with the cycling underwear with padding it felt cramped and extra sweaty. Is there a practical solution? I like the fact that there is extra padding around my seat bones but I also dont want my genitals squeezed there and it feels hot even before I go out start cycling while doing stretches at home.
By the way I use a 3d painted saddle with pressure relief channel.
According to my research this is called bowed legs or "O" legs . This curvature on my legs causes my ankles to roll inward especially when I do one legged stretches or core strength exercises. Also my inner thighs is kinda fat and makes it uncomfortable when I walk as they rub each other. I am not over weight but there is more fat/skin on my thighs than other parts of my body.
Is there a non surgical way to have a straight legs so I can overcome this discomfort?
I couldnt be any happier with this purchase. I will never waste my money on automatic watches. I know they are work of art but I prefer functionality over the complication. At the end of the day their purpose is to show the time.
I received my Militado today. I had ordered Steeflier but lug to lug distance was too much so I decided to go with Miltiado. I wanted to non-chronograph version but couldnt find anything bigger than 38mm. I am glad that I bought this model. Dial looks very clean and very legible. Low the lume and the color of the strap. For 75$ I couldnt be any happier.
Thanks to Ios26 my perfectly working iPhone 12 is crippled significantly and I have been looking for another phone to replace it within my limited budget of 670$. Yesterday I saw an ad for Iphone 15 Pro for 600$. Brand new. So hopefully 100% battery and I will have to option to avoid upgrading to Ios26. I am not sure about the battery though. It was released years ago and still in a box. I dont know if it will have an impact on the battery.
My other option is keep looking for a second hand Iphone 16 Pro for 670$.
I prefer the size of Iphone 15 Pro but my only concern is the battery and heating issues. I have been checking 15 Pro subreddit for a long time but the reviews are a mix bag. Some people complain a lot about the heating and battery and some people dont.
Is there anyone that had both phone for over a year and saw a significant difference? If it wasnt my limited budget I would definitely go for base Iphone 17 but I cant find it any cheaper than 840$ for second hand.
