Do I look like a mushroom head

I have been using a L Specialized Evade helmet which definitely makes me feel like a mushroom, but when looking at a Sweet Protection I deduced that I should be a M/L. It feels like a perfect fit but want to make sure I am not missing anything before I cannot return.

Work Trip to Dallas on a Max 8

I am taking a flight in a couple hours to Dallas on a Max 8 flown via Southwest. I have done this last year and talked myself down but this plane is still scary to me. Also we have to fly through storms. PHL to DAL 3146.

Radon Question

I currently have an unfinished basement. I want to turn it into a little gym area but I am concerned about spending extended periods of time there. I can’t currently afford any sort of remediation but I am hoping someone can talk me off a ledge and speak to doing something similar.

Dave’s pedal rundown

I just saw dcfc at Merriweather and I am wondering if anyone took a snap of Dave’s pedals? A lot of cool zippery spacy fuzz happening and I really couldnt think about anything else for the last two days!

No business experience at all

Hi looking for some light tips from business owners in the city. I am having half a thought about opening a coffee shop in South Philly.

Has anyone done something similar and want to encourage or deter me from forming a full business plan?

I have extensive coffee experience, and know what it takes to run a busy shop. I have also done pop ups.

When do you know?

My dog had his first seizure in March and has since been on Keppra. He is taken 4500mg a day and I don’t think its wise to go up any further.

He is having seizures about once a month and theyre about 4-6 minutes long or so.

He is not the same dog as he was but most days are really good.

Warp Disc?

I hear a slight rub but occasionally whenever I put pressure on the front or stand up, it makes this noise. Almost sounds like something is hitting spokes. Also occasionally whenever I brake, it does this as if it was within the rotation. I am not hitting brakes in this video.

BMC Teammachine Chirping

Noticed this when under load, and not every rotation. Ultegra di2. Sorry about the birds!

Hanging bikes in home

I recently got a carbon frame bike that I want to hang up in my home the best way possible. I know that it is a red flag when shops work on bikes and dont mount them by seat posts, so why would that be any different for storing them?

Clicking sound in Fork

BMC Teammachine SLR01, I hear a clicking sound in the fork but whenever I hit the brakes it goes away.

Also not sure how to get the pads off the rotor.

This was my first time assembling disc brakes. Not sure if I did it wrong

Stripped Di2 Bleed port help

Crazy that they warn you over and over about that bleed port being easy to strip…

Has anyone dealt with this? My last ditch effort might be to JB Weld and allen key into the shifter. Hoping someone has a better solution.

Post first Cat 4/5 Race, What now?

DNF because was about to get lapped.

I got absolutely crushed. Hilly course, and I never felt like I could get a rhythm.

Something I thought about while being off the back of the race is that, whenever I train I kind of riff. I dont have a true plan. I imagine this is my first issue. But whenever I ride I have 2 hard days a week where I try to do max effort, then I have 2 chiller days.

What’s next?

Teammachine BB and crank

I bought a used BMC and there is a slight play side to side in the crank. If the drive side is pushed though, the bolt on the back on the rings hits the frame. What do I need to use as a spacer so the BB still spins freely?

I didn’t think about PFAS til the recent post

I know that they really affect firefighters because of the heat etc, but is there any connection with athletes, and workout wear yet?

I just bought a budget YKYW jersey (I know it sucks) but because its coming from Amazon I can assume the worst with the material.

TIA
