Bikecheck Fairdale weekender nomad v2 #bike #gravelbike #newbikeday #dynamo #rad#bikecheck
Просмотров 2302 месяца назад
So this is my relatively new Fairdale weekend or nomad that I just couldn’t keep my hands off and had to make it my own. I started out by saying I’ll just throw a pair of bars on it, but it quickly morphed into something well beyond that and right now, I think I’m done the only thing that’s me for right now is maybe a rear rack And one of those killer Brooks saddles.
Lets talk about the Fairdale Weekender Nomad and why I got one #bicycle #gravelbike #newbikeday

4130 Chromoly goodness, a RAD company with a great vibe....Yeah that's Fairdale. I wanted a gravel / explorer bike that was different from the BIG BOXES and not a Surly ..... I fell in love with Fairdale ... Take a watch and hear me talk about why I decided on this whip

    Been riding a weekender archer (chose for the flat bar as don’t get along w drops) for the past 2 years and love it. The main things I wish were different on the weekender were through axles and would love a bit more tire clearance, got some 2.25’s on there at the min which just about fit as long as the wheels are running true, but would be nice to go up to 2.4-2.5. In retrospect I probably should’ve gone with the mx model for the drivetrain upgrades but the cheaper microshift stuff has treated me pretty well.

    • @themiddleagemasher8108
      @themiddleagemasher8108 2 месяца назад

      Thru axles would be killer. I think a 142 spaced rear would be nice as well ( more hub options) but all in all a hella fun bike to ride!!

      If you had the chance to compare side by side Fairdales are built with lighter steel tubing than Surly. Makes for a more lively fun ride. I have both and was only thinking about touring loads for the Surly so stout tubing made sense.

    I’m 66yo with a very similar situation. Been riding for over 40 years both rode and MTB. I’m also a Chiropractor with a lot of sports injury experience. It’s a known fact chronic aerobic athletes have afib more often then non athletes. I sense your trepidation with pushing your heart after the ablation procedure which is perfectly normal. First, you should be speaking with you EP to create a schedule for getting back on the bike. Let your heart recover, at least a few months before pushing yourself to allow the heart swelling to go down. During this time just keep your HR well below your max. Ride easy. Listen to your body. If you need to take a day off then do it. Slowly increase the time and intensity of your rides. You’ll gain confidence that you’re not going to die during or after a ride as you have repeated experience of elevating your HR without issue. I’m 10 months post ablation and back to riding road and MTB on my non e-bike. I developed pericarditis post ablation which forced me to take it easy. The point here is the ablation, if it got all the areas of aberrant signals, is a structural correction of the abnormal signaling. Although it scars your heart these areas do not structurally weaken your heart muscle and you can return to cycling without fear. Now here’s the caveat: I am not a cardiologist! I am relating my personal experience as a patient with more than average knowledge on human physiology and this should not be used as medical advice for your particular situation. I don’t believe there is data on athletes post ablation to substantiate what I’ve experienced. Too many times I read comments from people without specific experience and it’s taken as factual. This is not that. I want to encourage you to give your body a chance to heal and slowly return to your prior activities.
