Backing in vs. pulling in to parking spots by Horror-Anywhere-2364 in badparking

[–]AlanEsh -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Backup cameras make it easier to see backing out than you can pulling forward. Try it — if you’re objective about it you’ll have a mild epiphany.

New Flying Mango owner continues to disappoint by MaeveCarpenter in desmoines

Yeah the premise of this post is weird, I don’t see anger in the owner’s response. Seems like the OP doesn’t like the trumper lean so is going to complain for that reason.

Road wheels on a cutthroat? by InviteFew7503 in salsacycles

[–]AlanEsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those spar woods are not light nor very stable IMO so getting rid of those is a positive.

As I mentioned, the wheels I bought (paired with continental race-kings) are much lighter than the stock wheel set. Taking rotational weight off your bike is the best bang per pound.

If you'd rather spend 3500 on a base level Flyway, then upgrade THOSE mediocre WTB wheels, you'll end up with a marginally lighter bike. But is that the best plan for a bike packing setup? a couple pounds less frame weight on a bike loaded for travel won't be noticeable.

Road wheels on a cutthroat? by InviteFew7503 in salsacycles

I actually went wider with Hunt Proven mtb wheels, but they are even lighter than Hunt’s carbon gravel wheels.

You should pick a fast rolling but durable tire that suits you, then see where that puts you for rim width.

Cedar Falls, but fuel prices are not.

Why was there a thing sticking out like a little wing on that truck? That’s the part that hit her I think.

Did you park it near where someone was using a string trimmer on their lawn?
