No reason for this thread ... just a miscellaneous place to put useless conversations ... but then again, maybe everyone will ignore this one

hello
Anyone here ever try those indoor electric dryer vents? Does the room become hot and humid? I'm curious....this is for use in a storage room in a commercial building.

I've never tried anything like that but I'd be concerned about potential moisture issue from the dryer (mold formation).
My bike seems to fit me well according to the competitive cyclist calculator. However, I'm still getting sore arms on long rides... and my seat is all the way back relative to the seatpost. Is my bike too small too? If my bike is any larger, it's going to hurt everytime I stop and land on the top tube... I think I need a custom bike!

Fit is something you should not skimp on. Plus, trying to buy a component here and there to improve your fit may not be optimal. Try getting yourself on a fit kit, or see a physical trainer. The extra money spent may be well worth it. It was for me.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think it has more to do with weight distribution though... and I somehow like to feel more of the "road"... I guess it's a conflicting requirement (road feel vs vibration).
