    I just got one of theses and can't get it to put air into a Presta valve with the adapter on. Was there a trick? I'd opened the valve first, but nothing depresses the plunger. It pressurizes the hose up to the vale and that's about it.

    I have a pair of CX402, the previous version, and they are fantastic shoes. With 21K km on them they are still going strong. I find that Lake cycling shoes fit normal width feet very well and they also offer wide versions. Most othe high end cycling shoe brands fit narrow so that even if you go up a size, they don't fit well. The other nice thing about Lake is that they are one of the few brands that offer Speedplay 4 bold dedicated cycling shoes. Once you figure out the correct size with Lake, you can purchase other shoes using the same size, and they will fit reasonably the same. Both my CX402 and CX175 fit very similar in the same number size. Good luck with the larger size.

    Pros and cons to everything in life. Everyone is different. Do what works for you. Some people like just riding around outside. I like following a plan indoors with erg. It makes me feel time efficient and clinical. Compared to just riding around, plan makes me train all systems at supposedly scientific levels and lowers the risk of overtraining. Compared to outside, which often involves coasting, indoors with erg makes me feel like I have more quickly accumulate the desired "Y watts for X minutes". Moreover, 100% of the time indoors is at the prescribed workload. Outdoors, even though I've been accused of being a metronome, I find it nearly impossible to stay within the prescribe range. Outside, I've had intervals where I've nailed the prescribed average watts exactly but spent 0% of the interval within the prescribed range. Some outdoor skills, like quick changes in cadence, can be practiced indoors with erg. It takes a few rides outdoors to adjust but the skills come back quickly.

    As others have said, FTP has morphed into some ego-led d1ck measuring statistic as it's all over Zwift and the forums. Just as Zwift is nothing like your ability as a real life cyclist, your 20 min performance is an over-estimation of the useful power you can produce for longer. It doesn't show how you'd perform in real life or how you compare to your peers. It may help track your progress but it's best kept to yourself, tbh.

This is my first time trying to get insurance on my bicycles. I called Sunday Insurance. They have a office in Delaware. I would have to pay $16.00 per month for my 2 e-bikes. The reason that i want insurance for my e-bikes. I am not allowed to keep in my apartment. Due to too many fires, caused by those cheap ones in the market. I have been keeping my e-bikes chained up.

    You can but you need to get it registered somewhere and they provide the link to their website. In my case, i had the receipts for both my bikes which were recently bought so i didnt have to go through extra steps. You need to know the serial numbers however and send them bike pictures including the serial number picture and this helps your claims to be processed fairly easily.
