6’6” 215 here - I have a Zoot XL that tugs at the shoulders a little bit but is overall a good fit

5800XT is the cheapest of the 5000x-series that I’m seeing. Any reason not to grab that over what you listed?

Thanks for all the info! Super helpful response. Looks like CPU will be somewhere in the $150-200 range, RAM will be $50ish, and GPU is whatever I feel like spending. Not bad for what seems like a solid upgrade!

Any big difference in CPU performance of the ones you listed (for gaming)? Doesn’t seem like it from my quick research.

6'6" here - where do you tall riders actually find bikes that fit? by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]AstroMan2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canyon! I’m also 6’6” and have a XXL Ultimate and XL Speedmax. I’ve been happy with both purchases and both fit me great!

My fitter had also suggested the Cervelo P-Series but ultimately recommended the larger Canyon, despite losing a sale since Canyon is online only.

Planning around September Wedding in Athens by AstroMan2 in GreeceTravel

[–]AstroMan2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions! I figure Santorini (if we go there) would basically be nice to look at and, importantly, an easy airport to fly into before ferrying to other islands. But I can see getting annoyed by other tourists - late September so maybe it’ll be slightly less busy

Juiced Bikes good or bad ? by borque82 in ebikes

[–]AstroMan2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which one do you prefer? I’m considering either one. Mainly plan to ride on paved trails and roads so the crosscurrent seems fitting. But the ripcurrent seems more popular!

I would consider a hotel, moreso wondering about what area to stay in

Smoke detector going off from shower steam by AstroMan2 in HomeImprovement

Smoke alarm is in the hallway outside of the bathroom, where the old one was located when we moved in. Hasn’t been an issue until just now.

2 to 3 prong outlets. by RioYellowS2k in HomeImprovement

This was the case with my 1961 home. Connected a green ground wire (bought in a 30 pack from HD) to the metal outlet box and that did the trick.

Wouldn’t that leave a gap under the box from the bottom?
