Anyone have any non wool recs for animal lovers like me?
@JustinDoesTriathlon2 күн бұрын
For vegan options, you're basically locked into synthetics. Nothing natural (even plant based) has the warmth-while-wet aspect that makes wool so high performing.

If your in the UK read on! Shokz the company is based off-shore in China and the USA, so when you buy direct from them you have no UK consumer rights what so ever! The two year warrenty is about exactly how long they last, most will fail just after 2 years from numerous problems they have, such as the power button which is a common failure point! They will then offer you 20% off a new pair lol. Unlike a good set of cans that can last for up to 20 years these will 100% fail, so be prepared to buy new ones every few years. Not lasted as reasonably expected? Who you going to complain about to the ombudusman? The ombudsman can only deal with UK companies. Ask Shokz for there UK company number. They will go silent on you as they don,t have one. You are buying direct from China, so cannot report them or do anything. They also offer no repairs!! They are throw away head phones. So bad for the environment and so much for going green. Don't take my word for it, ask them before you buy! Shokz also have shocking customer service who will just ignore you, like the hundreds of bad reviews here. They just ignore you. They also have no google profile as they deleted it to avoid bad reviews, hence no google reviews! AVOID this company at all costs and if you must buy a set, buy through John Lewis or similar, at least you will have some rights even after the two year warrenty expires. Never buy direct or if you want a set of head phones that last longer than a few years.

This is the video I’ve been looking for!! The majority of “restoration” of bicycles have been basically strip it down to the frame, toss everything else, paint the frame and put all new accessories on and call it restored. My thought is to restore as much as possible and replace what you have to. Maybe that’s just me. I have a 10 speed that I got from my parents when I graduated from high school that is in desperate need of restoration that I plan to get started on soon. No decals for identification; they bought it from Sears and it was made in Japan. I do plan on painting it also but we’ll see…
@JustinDoesTriathlonАй бұрын
Thanks man! Appreciate it. Yeah it seems like a lot of people say they want to 'resto' a frame but what they really want is a brand new bike. I've got new bikes for that; let the old ones be old imo. I have a couple other build vids if you didn't catch those too, you might like. Enjoy your resto! Japanese steels are always a good ride.

Yeah I love the plastic bag, esp because once you start getting bigger parts all of a sudden you've got a lot of gunk and it makes cleanup of your machine much better

I have this same bike in purple. All original, except for the tires, and I think the freewheel has tighter gearing. The hoods are gone - turned to goo. Not sure if it's worth replacing them. And I think the headset is indexed. Maybe that can be fixed. It's pretty clean, but some scrapes in the paint. After viewing your video, I'd like to see about restoring it - maybe along with the Tempo i also have.
@JustinDoesTriathlon2 ай бұрын
Yeah that's awesome! That purple is a great color too. I think at the time I said I liked the all white more, but now I'm 50/50. Good luck finding replacement hoods; that should have the black ones IIRC which were easier to find on ebay. There were a lot of non-aero white hoods (cables coming out the top) but aero white was impossble to find. I think I found one pair for like $75 or something. But yeah overall I fully support a resto! Have fun

Do you have a list of the computer parts you used to build your computer? What would you change about the computer in the time that's past since this video was published?
@JustinDoesTriathlon2 ай бұрын
I don't have an accurate list, but any midrange gaming PC (like you can find on pcpartpicker.com) would work. Only thing I'd change is basically that I realized way late that honestly I just effing hate Zwift. Also, Zwift graphics are shit anyway, so getting some nice 4k isn't really worth it. If you don't have any interest in streaming (as most people don't,) and you're looking for Zwift specifically, I'd probably just get a pretty cheap build with something like a used 1660 Super. If you want to use one of the other training platforms, maybe they need higher graphics (I don't know, as I also don't use them.) Honestly my mindset has changed quite a bit in the 4 years since doing this vid and really I just... don't like indoor training.
@markfisher79622 ай бұрын
Something else to replace is the freewheel. Not because it's worn out, but because when Shimano introduced their SI tech, they developed ramped sprockets, making shifting MUCH more positive.

Unfortunately, USB C was the future. I much prefer the magnetic port given the wear and tear to a USB port that results from repeatedly charging the headphones over time. By the way, you nailed it on your two products. I completely agree that varia radar and shokz bone conduction headphones are two of my favorite pieces of cycling tech.

I bought 2 one for a family member and me in Hong Kong. Both broke off in exactly the same area just off the part that goes over the ear. Within the warranty period but Shokz did not honor the warranty. The serial no is imprinted on the earplug and I offered to mail it in to them but they want you to read it and it is so so so so tiny ! The customer service was not good and I am miffed as both broke off in exactly the same place, They tried to offer me a 10% discount on new pair but I will not invest again as they did not stand behind their product.
