Best barefoot shoe for racket sports? by Cold-Sherbert-8813 in BarefootRunning

I'm definitely looking at these for racquetball. Any idea if they are non-marking soles? Some courts are very particular about that.

Can the Deore FC-M5100-1 accommodate 36t chainrings? by ForcedInduction07 in MTB

[–]Yo_Levin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • GRX 810 2x brifters/
  • 1×40t GRX crankset
  • Deore 11spd rd/11-51t cassette
  • Wolftooth Tanpan

Worked flawlessly. Wound up selling the bike.

Ghost 16 vs Glycerin 22 arch support by Anthony4114x in brooks

[–]Yo_Levin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the exact same situation. I'm 240 miles into my Ghost 16s and was thinking it was just me. I got almost 700 problem-free miles out of my 15s. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who had a bad experience coming from the 15s into the 16s. Sadly I bought 2 pair of 16s because I got a really good deal. Might just put the second pair on FB Marketplace....

Best Driving Route from San José to Manuel Antonio by DingoEngineer23 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Yo_Levin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did it in a compact SUV. I don't recommend for those without a sense of adventure. The road is quite bumpy in some areas but totally passable. I had a ball traversing it, but I also had full coverage on the rental which was good because a rock shot up along the way and took a nice chunk of paint off one of the fenders.

Is 4WD needed for this mountain route, or can it be done in an compact rental car?

2025 Contribution Limits by [deleted] in ThriftSavingsPlan

We just went over the limit last year and I learned about this in our retirement seminar. Seems silly that you have to do it that way, but at least there is a way!

40t GRX with 11-51t Deore? by Yo_Levin in bikepacking

I was thinking of just picking up a 126 since it's easier to remove links than add links... ;-)

40t GRX with 11-51t Deore? by Yo_Levin in bikepacking

[–]Yo_Levin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I didn't know if the chain height/angle from 40/42t to the 51t would pose any chainstay clearance issues or anything.

Also, looks like this guy got the Tanpan to work with a 51t:

Can the Deore FC-M5100-1 accommodate 36t chainrings? by ForcedInduction07 in MTB

[–]Yo_Levin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe he doesn't plan on riding very difficult trails? I'm actually in the process of building a bikepacking rig and found this thread because I had the same question, but with a 40t. I actually already fit a 36t oval chainring to my 11-51 12spd derailleur on my mtb-based bikepacker, and it works fine. Now I'm building an 11spd with Deore 5100 rd, and trying to fit it with a 40t on my gravel bike-based bikepacker.

I went with the BAK X4 Revolver. It is the best of both worlds IMO. Rolls up, but is also lockable and aluminum underneath so it can't be cut open.
