The Vittoria Graphene compound is great for grip and rolling resistance. They’ve got a tire with intermediate knobs called the Agarro that’s billed for fast rolling. Might be worth a shot

My DHF in MaxxGrip felt like I had a sticking caliper.

SLX 12 shifter asploded at the beginning of a ride this week. Was stuck in low gear (big cog/highest tension) and wouldn’t click up. Flushed it with WD40 then put it in my ultrasonic cleaner with...

Title of the thread is “Fox 34 adjustment” and photo is of the fork. I think it’s the fork.

Panaracer Paselas. The gold standard for 27” road tires. All the vintage bike guys that don’t run tubulars run these.

They’ve got a little tread on them, would be fine for road or packed gravel...

Ackchually…

Old road pedals were almost impossible to pull your foot out. Toe baskets do fasten on old shoes because there was still a hard cleat that sunk into the pedal depression, then the toe...

Thanks, I’ve already got splits in the places I can and I’m still out of room. And now that I remember, there’s the original 4-fuse panel next to my GE box, but the GE is definitely at least 50 years...

Get on the bike and point that thing backwards. No need for an ebike!

On Home Renovation news, my 1948 house has a new smart meter and original 200a GE panel. But it’s out of spaces. The lights...

Let ye who hasn’t fallen over wearing clipless pedals cast the first stone

This car does look like it has actual butt cheeks. But yeah in general Volvos are good looking cars.

Working a shift with my CryptoBro coworker today. Says he’s excited to get all the crypto at discounts now. Says he’s been calling it for months that there was a crash coming.

Funny thing is...

For that much pavement, maybe something like the Rene Herse Fleecer Ridge? It’s a bike packing/gravel tire in 29x2.2.

Otherwise what’s keeping you from continuing to use the Mezcals? They come in...

I told my date while we were chatting that I had a van I converted to a ski/bike access camper. She must have thought I had a $200k Sprinter because when I showed her my 2013 Express AWD with 200k,...

Transition just released a new e-bike model. The Repeater is 160mm 29er that’s been in the lineup, Relay is also a 29/Mx long travel bike with a lighter engine that’s new.

Lots of hate online...

Rab Pulse is great for sun shirts. It’s trimmer and lighter than Patty. They discontinued it but there’s still some around. Looks like the Rab Force is the new sun shirt.

Recommendations on EDC 100 pump vs 70?

That was my exact experience with the old Animas. I had demo binders on so I had to move them -2cm, even then in deep stuff they wanted to throw me OTB.

Be interesting to see if the wider tip on...

Good bump! Fathers Day is always a great time to pick up a nice used grill. Lots of people buying dad the newest fad grill and then their old grills go on Craigslist for like $40.

Often their old...

I’d disagree. The NYT put together a county by county database early on in the pandemic, something which not even the federal agencies were able to do at the time. And kept it updated throughout.

My coworker at my old job had a couple male Weimaraners. They had so much energy and loved humping everything, so he called them Weiner Rammers instead

What’s your use for the 2.6?

I’m running a 2.4 Mazza and it’s the same size as my Aggressor 2.5”. Reading reviews, the 2.6 doesn’t seem that much wider than the 2.4 and there’s a significant...

What about The Replacements? I love that movie. Just barely missed the 90s (released in 8/2000) but obviously filmed in the 90s so lots of cultural relevance in this thread I think.

In addition to like 10 sets of Dewalt/Ryobi/Kobalt that are missing 3/4 of their bits, I’ve got a set of the HF step bits. They’ve come in handy a lot.

I’ve also got two different sized mandrels...

Keanu Reeves hasn’t been mentioned yet. Breakout movie Bill & Ted was 2/1989 but 90s movies include Point Break, Bogus Journey, Speed, Johnny Mnemonic, and the Matrix.

Also a fact that blew my...

I break down a cardboard box and put the ski on it on the floor. Then stand on the ski as I’m drilling. No spinners yet!

Definitely center punch, even if it’s just with a Phillips screwdriver...

North central cascades are at 343% of normal as of 6/6. Mt Hood is 364%. Shit even southern Oregon is 197% of normal. Bump this thread again in 6 weeks…maybe!

Made it just for you, boo

I’ve been using RGT (now owned by Wahoo) for a little while and just started a Wahoo SYSTM training plan. I like RGT better than Zwift. I don’t have the connectivity issues and it doesn’t lag running...

Kellogg is definitely sketch in the wrong places. And you’re never 100% sure if you pull off into the dirt if you’re parked on a pile of toxic mining tailings


I’d be tempted to camp up in the...

Just pay shipping and I’ll get you these sweet sandals. I got them cheap off eBay but they didn’t fit the lady I gave them to so I got her some other ones. They’re in near perfect shape, no Chaco...

Something that was drilled into me in police academy was that if you are carrying a gun and get into any confrontation (even an extremely minor one), it’s now an armed confrontation, which ups the...

Yeah I got a lot less problems with ebikes than I do with horses, regardless of how the rider behaves.

At least ebikes don’t weigh 1000+ pounds and need extra space and you can’t fucking...

Got the second set of X-rays today, ruled out a scaphoid fracture! Hand doc told me to take a couple more weeks off the bike and then ease back into it. He thinks I sprained multiple joints in the...

Apparently I haven’t looked at Marin for a bit, the Alpine Trail carbon 2 looks perfect. $4500! 150/160 carbon frame with a Fox38/DPx2 and SLx/XT parts? Damn.

Great modern geo too, looks very...

New entry in the market by Marin in the mid-upper $4000s. https://www.marinbikes.com/bikes/2022-rift-zone-29-carbon-xr#specifications


Seems like a good price for the spec. Does seem to be a...

Spokane prices are still way high compared to what they should be but there’s like 10x more active listings right now than I’ve seen since March 2020. Including in some pretty attractive...

Well shit. 26 months dodging this shit and not even a close call. Just found out some folks I did dinner with yesterday tested positive this morning. They felt fine yesterday and one developed...

Road racing or ski racing? Was she wearing a helmet?

I’m imagining this under a long jacket.

OP should also not wash it prior to sale, so somebody can ride it to the bar and look like they shredded dirt all day while leaving their $1000 leather shoes pristine.

Thanks all,
Went to the walk in ortho clinic Wednesday, got the X-rays, ortho PA poked around and thinks it’s several sprained ligaments, not any breaks.

The snuffbox pain is gone except when I...

This is totally normal. Again, speaking from a place where I’ve had to legally enforce child support orders, if one party wants to do things “off the books” that means one or both of you are going to...

Yeah but you can’t show off your expensive Izod polo to the other Club members and sexually harass the beer card girl playing disc golf.

Saw this on a different site. The end broke me…

It’s actually the other way and attributed to Stalin. “If only one man dies of hunger, that is a tragedy. If millions die, that’s only statistics.”.” So in that way we’re far past it being a tragedy...

Small town, too. Only about 16,000 pop. This is going to impact every person in that town.

I’m going to say with a normal fork in a wide market (listed online), that’s a $800 bike. Hard to say if they will come in way above or not.

Frame itself would probably go for $400-500? It’s not...

I just phone up Joe Buck and have him tell me sports bedtime stories until I fall asleep.
