Just because you place significantly more energy in sexual selection doesn ' t mean others would do the same . Where you feel that it matters most is subjective to your experiences . <| sep |> YouTube zeenigami . He has a guide for the 40 and the 60 stamina <| sep |> Early impressions after ~ 50 km This bike is something different . Not necessarily better or worse , but certainly different . Note My previous allarounder was a JaketheSnake with a tricked out carbon tubular wheelset . It could go almost everywhere , was wicked fast , light and very responsive borderline twitchy . So my impressions are relative to that baseline . Pros SMOOTH ride . The lefty fat tires make roads feel perfect , cobblestones feel like road and they take the bite out of graveloffroad riding . Relaxed geometry , at least relative my cyclocross bike , which kept me more comfortable during the ride and less sore after . faster on gravel pack . I still got mired down in loose sand , but could fly over packed sand and gravel without having my armslegs shaken into numbness . Climbing sidewalks at speed becomes trivial , just a really lazy manual instead of bunnyhoppingCons Tires do not inspire confidence , at all . With no treads at all they probably turn into a rolling deathwish at the first sign of rain . The bike is heavier and slower to accelerate than my JtS . Probably not a fair comparison , but still . I could bring it up to almost the same top speed in a sprint , but it was harder to maintain . Handling is looser , and some moves can feel funky as if the bike really doesn ' t want to cooperate . Overall I ' m early in the newbike learning curve but one thing that ' s already obvious is that riding this thing is FUN .
