Quality Slowtwitch/IMJ Threads

Thanks Anna, that’s me done reading that then. I’ve never joined ST and that won’t be changing.

@Hammerer , I find it odd that Empfield still has a say, or a care about ST. He sold it but his posts suggests he has some kind of role there.
If not, he should just let them get on with the ‘improvements’ and enjoy his money.

I know it’s a relatively large site for tri but overall it’s pretty small. Can’t have been worth that much, can it?:man_shrugging:t2:

I cant believe it was worth much, so why sell! Unless he had some decent advertising (but who?)

Not sure. Either the buyers saw something that wasn’t there or he told a very good story.
I can’t imagine that site was worth more than what, $30k tops?

he does talk like its some sort of “publication” with staff and everything. At best its tri247 for a handful of americans. I cant see Amazon affiliates bringing too much in :wink: They were moaning about google ads but that’s again not doing much and can make websites awful to read/use

Perhaps TT needs a news page and some ad’s/affiliates and maybe a sponsor or two. This time next year Rodders :wink:

“Just came back from 3h ride with almost 0 interfere of cars or traffic light. I started my ride at 5am normally packed road was completely empty. But it was pitch black. I don’t own a bike light. Is it good idea to train regularly this early? I’m talking between 4:30~5:30am.”

I run an obnoxiously bright red LED flasher all year round. I think they’re trolling…

It is making me chuckle. I think they mean front light. And no it’s not me(!)

Have you seen the AI music thread on ST? That’s mental.

Imo someone should add the TR forum to the title. It is getting more moronic by the day.

I need to stop visiting, some of it is so funny though.

Not visited Slowtwitch for over a month… maybe two. IMJ wouldnt let me join because I’m an Italian :robot:

PS

Adam_Bi is back…

What’s the point of riding a bike outside? By spending an extra $500 on an indoor trainer, you eliminate crashes, flat tires, and bad weather and your components will last way longer. Your bike and drivetrain stay spotless, you never waste time coasting, and you can hit precise wattage targets for your training. Why even bother with outdoor rides?”

Could have just stopped at “whats the point”

Its all “not real” coaches spam so missing nothing,

Some good peeps on there ( because of locality I’ve met quite a few off there )
Some utter loons too. ( I met two of those too)

Every other post was from a “ coach “ of some description in the end.
I’ve no doubt some were very good and some …. Not so much

Is it still going ?
