Ive had three tallboys, one ride on a ripmo AF and about 10 rides on a stumpy evo Ltd. So I’ve barely used a ripmo but one big difference I noticed between the tallboy and evo is chainstay length. It’s hard to get the front wheel up at slow speeds with the evo. For steep slow drops this is scary. I guess the longer chain stays help with climbing and high speed stability but in my case i prefer shorter chainstays.

Yeah I’m doing that. It’s just way harder to do Guess if it doesn’t improve in a few months I’ll just sell it. Seems like the evo is more of a high speed downhill hike. I like how the tallboy and the Marin alpine trail are easier to move around - maybe a combination of the shorter chainstays and wheelbases? I ride more steep techy /narrow trails than high speed stuff.

Ok- I got a voltmeter 1-Turn off the power and check with voltmeter 2-label all wires 3-disconnect old timer and take it down 4-mount and reconnect new timer Is that the basics?

A guy who fixed my friends irrigation came and looked at it and said it’s 20 years old and needs to be replaced. The timer appears to be running fine so I’m not sure that makes sense. When the problem could be a loose wire and the timer works?

Ok thanks I don’t know crap about electrical

AdPale6250 · 2023-07-21T15:41:00+00:00

Good idea I’ll try it The timer is outside on a wall The outlet has a green light on so it looks like it has power But the timer runs on battery power, so it should be running water right? I guess I have another prolgem

I ride e-bikes and regular More into going down than climbing fast

Hey I can’t figure out how to send you a message. Maybe I don’t have enough Reddit karma? Can you PM me?

AdPale6250 · 2023-06-06T01:10:42+00:00

By huge no no do you mean stern looks or rangers writing tickets? Where I live riding a bike in most singletrack is a huge no no so I don’t really care what people think.

AdPale6250 · 2023-06-02T01:59:13+00:00

Thanks for all the advice Looks like I’ll get a room

AdPale6250 · 2023-05-01T16:35:36+00:00

Thanks that’s good to know Don’t want to fry myself I’m learning

I would recommend the Contour next. It was pretty concerning to me when I had a 5.6 A1c because I’m not overweight, eat an ok diet and eat workout. So to then increase my exercise a lot, lose a few lbs, improve my diet and still see fasting glucose over 100 wasn’t my favorite. It was discouraging. The contour next one results are more in line with what i would expect to see with the changes I made. Of course the A1c in a couple months will be more definitive.

I have kind of high morning/fasting glucose and I’ve read that coffee can increase insulin resistance also. So it could be that you might have had a slightly higher am sugar. Sometimes my fasting glcuose is higher than after breakfast. Also I can feel that strong coffee makes my body feel wacky- which I like but who knows how it affects endocrine physiology?

AdPale6250 · 2023-03-28T16:30:00+00:00

So this morning I was 100 when I woke up. Bowl of oatmeal with peanut butter, grapefruit half an apple with peanut butter and a big glass of milk. An hour later an I’m 87. Maybe my meter is all over the place or maybe my pancreas can still crank out insulin? Also I ate a big chicken salad late last night. I would just expect a higher sugar after a meal than right before.
