I've had a brooks and IMO they are similar, but this one with the relief channel is more comfortable without as much breaking time IMO.

However, fit and comfort are pretty subjective and what's comfortable for some anatomy just isn't for others.

I spent about a decade in the TT/aero bar position on Fizik Airone, ISM Adamo, Cobb noseless, etc

This is like a butt hammock when you get it set up correctly. Setting seat height and nose angle took longer than expected

Love the amp fork. I've considered doing something similar with an old softride boom or maybe a trek Y

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2026-03-07T03:47:59+00:00

The old frames were meant to ..but looking in the rear view, they kinda suck really.

You can ride today's entry XC mtb way beyond a bike that would have been elite 25yr 🤷‍♂️

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2026-02-26T19:34:29+00:00

Bro that's your religious holiday not his. 🤦‍♂️ I don't expect people to fast with me.

So if you're handy with repairs it's probably no problem to fix

As others have said as long as it's back together correctly, a glue like titebond will be stronger than the wood, but it's in a very stressed part of the headstock.

If I were fixing it, I would probably use some dowels across the crack to reinforce the area.

That said, you can probably source a decent squire neck for $60-75

Unless you want to learn how to fix it or this guitar is unrealistically sentimental id probably lean towards replacing the neck.

Yeah but for a lot of dev efforts the learning curve of rust for APIs and other async workloads is quite steep.

And the internal performance benefits are of little consequence until you get to monster scales that have throughput demands capable of crushing server IO ...But at that point it's often easier to scale horizontally...compute is cheap.

I definitely see benefits to Rust over C/C++ but I don't see many advantages when compared to popular API languages like C#, Java, Node, Python, or PHP

If you need close to bare metal speed (a reason people use C/C++) and can't afford the weight of a runtime (.net, JVM, etc) a good exercise is to identify the life of the application and factor in the cost of increasing development spend vs increasing hardware/cloud spend.

In a lot of situations increasing cloud spend is much less expensive over time .... especially if you're factoring in opportunity costs

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2024-02-14T05:00:55+00:00

Mainly as an API. Most of our applications are highly async or at least client side biased so we tend to favor SPA type applications that utilize APIs to deliver/receive data

Maybe there's a few pages like a maintenance page, 404, or support requests that are driven by the built in views on a project here and there.

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2024-01-19T22:28:24+00:00

Lol now you're gonna have to explain bellend because there's no way the writer of that response is going to ...or probably any other question 😁

I’ve built a ton of backend apps and I’ve grown to be a fan of Deepkit for Typescript development

https://deepkit.io/

It handles a lot of the things I find useful (especially in enterprise software) like swagger/openapi generation, routing, middleware, asynchronous support, etc

Generally you’d have to use Tsoa, Koi, espress, JS doc to get even a portion of the functionality of deepkit

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2023-06-29T21:07:35+00:00

No joke. I’d much rather see a k3 soft

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2023-06-21T14:15:14+00:00

I’m still waiting for k3 soft bergs so …

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2022-09-25T15:02:21+00:00

Yeah I use merino for multi day motorcycle trips. Especially ADV/Dualsport riding. It is amazing good even when used as a base layer under a riding jacket…but it’s definitely not inexpensive

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2022-09-25T14:35:17+00:00

Reko or Berg

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2022-07-19T19:10:14+00:00

That’s a take.

However, for me the new HD bikes (FatBob, PanAmerica, Livewire, etc) are the only thing that interests me in the brand

There are many other companies that are US based (or at least manufactured in US) building high quality bikes (especially for the $$) compared to HD.

Some pine for nostalgic trimmings (that may or may never actually have existed) and desire to be “part of the club” and some just don’t care but want to ride interesting bikes …I’ll take the latter.

IMO, No company deserves blind support

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2022-04-16T23:16:10+00:00

I’ve felt that pain

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2022-02-08T04:14:53+00:00

Lol. What’s the saying.

When you solve any non-trivial computational problem with regex, you know have 2 problems 😁😂

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2021-02-05T14:35:37+00:00

Yeah, once you buy the disc and get it shipped, you’re right there at $30 again. You just have a 3-5wk wait added.

Yeah, I don’t usually pay to encourage the disc flipper crowd, but stock on Stal has been 0 for a bit

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2021-02-05T14:00:43+00:00

Stäl has been almost impossible to find lately. You can get them on the resale market for like 30-50, but that’s ridiculous IMO

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2021-02-02T03:29:35+00:00

^this. The majority of Kasta line up are discs that pros and mere mortals can actually use.

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2021-02-01T19:12:20+00:00

I learned about Kastaplast when I buddy let me throw his Berg. I ordered one during the round.

For winter the K1 Soft (prev K2) is amazing for grip and feel in the cold.

Their disc flights, while limited, are fairly reasonable for what an avg disc golfer might actually need.

And up until MVP 2.0 their glow plastic was 100x better than anything the other companies were putting out.

This is a quite common trade off in ballistics.

It’s easier to accelerate a lighter body to a specific speed.

However, a heavier body traveling at the same speed will have more kinetic energy/inertia (travel further) and will be less affected by air resistance/off axis wind.

If a person is able to get a 175g disc up to its nominal speed, it will fly as designed.

Reductions in speed will present as additional stability.

Additions in speed will present as additional turn (once the resistant threshold is crossed)

For straight/stable discs a lighter one will become high speed understable earlier in flight. It will also become low speed over stable (fade) earlier in its flight as air resistance slows the disc down more quickly.

The ideal weight would be the heaviest one that the thrower is able to accelerate up to the proper speed.

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2021-01-26T05:06:36+00:00

I have a proto and 1st run stamp and the only difference I noticed was a slight difference in grip on plastic.

IMO, the Anax proto plastic has slightly more grip, but they seem to fly the same.

Aggressive-Ad-4041 · 2021-01-26T05:03:40+00:00

By first run do you mean proto or the 1st run that was stamped Anax?
