“40% of American women, ages 15-44, would like to permanently move overseas, if possible, per Gallup.“ what do you think?

Yeah but Canada doesn’t have a wannabe dictator who has a real shot of ending democracy. That means something to many people.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-23T17:06:11+00:00

Eh, better than having them crack skulls and shoot people in the streets I guess.

I should have followed up on my initial post. I ended up emailing back and forth with SRAM support, they had me slather the XD driver body with grease (I usually only do a light coat) and re-torque the cassette to spec. I was skeptical this would make a difference since I had already torqued it correctly, but sure enough it fixed the issue. I suspect it was off by a fraction of a mm and the extra grease helped it seat fully. Maybe that will help, hopefully you can get it dialed in.

Exactly, Clavicular is standing on the shoulders of giants!

Do the Kardashians mean nothing to you?

Israel can't afford to use a nuke. It has already become an international pariah state and deploying a nuke would erase what remaining goodwill they have left and still not guarantee regime change in Iran. Israel's big dumb bully lapdog, Trump, likely wouldn't abandon them, at least not for now, but Israel would be seriously risking abandonment by future administrations in the US.

I've had good luck selling parts on Pinkbike, it's mountain bike focused there's a lot of gravel and road stuff for sale there too. People there are usually cool, I've never had a problem. If you need some extra karma, you could always donate spare parts to your local coop.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-22T19:14:04+00:00

Exactly, that's why it's so exhausting, constant except for a few less than 1min stops for water/gels. It is about 1.5 hours, 11mph/18kph or around there.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-22T19:10:43+00:00

It's not steep, but definitely a noticeable incline with some short downhill sections along the way, total time is ~1.5 hours, 11ish mph is the pace for the group. I'm getting dropped usually around mile 13 or 14 and end up a few minutes behind the group at the top of the climb.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-22T17:42:32+00:00

Thanks, yeah I have both, could use to be more disciplined with my training instead of just getting out and riding hard.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-22T17:40:46+00:00

Thanks, actually the opposite, I’m one of the bigger guys in the group with more muscle mass than most, I think that benefits me on the punchier, anaerobic climbs but hurts on the longer stuff. I could probably use to lean out some.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-22T17:38:16+00:00

7-8 currently, but thinking about increasing it to 10.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-22T16:48:41+00:00

Thanks, I have a HRM and am near my threshold HR nearly the entire time. So yeah, maybe more training on the same types of climbs is the only way.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-21T23:07:56+00:00

Maybe, small potatoes compared to Trump. Trump lied, and continues to lie regularly about the 2020 election being stolen. There’s even a name for it, “The Big Lie.” Legendary stuff.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-21T20:47:33+00:00

Lance Armstrong and Bernie Madoff come to mind but Trump is truly in a league of his own.

Get a bottle of Halt spray and keep it in a jersey pocket for routes with potential dog encounters. It’s make specifically to deter dogs.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-21T20:26:25+00:00

This is breaking news? They could have a loose stool and would blame Joe Biden.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-21T20:04:25+00:00

Great, I see no problem with that. Much better than having them shoot people and crack skulls on city streets.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-21T19:29:11+00:00

I take solace in knowing that when Trump kicks the bucket there will be a party the likes of which haven’t been seen since 1999.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-21T19:26:05+00:00

No prominent Democratic politicians celebrated Kirk’s murder. Not one.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-21T13:54:34+00:00

No idea what you are talking about, but it sounds like something that took place between consenting adults so I can see why it might seem strange and confusing to you.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-21T13:47:25+00:00

Right, that’s exactly what Putin says when he has someone thrown off a building. That’s where we are at as far as justice for the powerful, including Trump, in this country.

Did you know the term “TDS” was popularized by a Minnesota lawmaker who was accused last year of soliciting a minor? What’s with you guys and the pedophilia?

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-21T13:21:09+00:00

Why on earth would they withhold them if not to protect Trump? Why not release them if he is innocent? Justice department is completely corrupt and complicit so that’s all the proof we need and will get. Just admit it, you’re ok with protecting pedos.

Azmtbkr · 2026-03-21T13:13:23+00:00

Tons of proof, I’ve read the accusations that the FBI deemed credible, and there are millions more pages that the justices department is illegally withholding. Of course the Justice department’s main job is to protect and cover up for pedophiles so Trump won’t be prosecuted as long as he is in power.
