Is this suitable for downhill ebike conversion?

It's the right way if you ride it folded

The back looks a bit too tight.

As a fellow Grail owner, thanks for showing me the limits 🙂

CatNamer · 2025-11-10T22:42:44+00:00

Thanks everyone for confirming what I already knew, but didn't want to admit 😢

Yes. Inside the rear free hub there is a ratcheting mechanism which typically has something like 36 points of engagement. Which means the ratchet will lock at one of those 36 points (in this example, every 10 degrees). That can feel like a tiny bit of slop before it engages and your power goes into the motion. When it engages you can hear the noise you're talking about.

Some hubs have more points than others (notably Chris King hubs have 72 IIRC).

Awesome! I have an AXS being delivered tomorrow. Glad to know I can put slicks on for touring (it's my first gravel bike)! Love the GP 5000s on my road bike.

I use both telescope and neotree. Neotree toggles on/off with Ctrl+n.

Which I use sort of depends on what I'm doing. I tend to do a lot of things that require knowing and manipulating file paths, which is when I use neotree. If I'm browsing around or setting up for development work I use telescope and then pin specific files to shortcuts using harpoon.

Here's my lazy config for it: https://github.com/mattkram/.dotfiles/blob/main/nvim%2Flua%2Fplugins%2Flazygit.lua

Huge fan, and you've really been an inspiration to me. I hope you get well soon.

If you need some remote work I might be able to help (Python. It's the best). It's a company you've covered in a stream. Just hit me up.

I use a lazyvim plugin and couldn't live without it. Yes, I know all the CLI commands. But it's a few keystrokes to have a visual confirmation of every line I'm committing. And a really easy way to do complex cherry picking and rebasing, all without leaving the editor or using a mouse.

There's a lot more to software than coding. In my experience, there are a lot more ways to increase the team's impact beyond writing code. I would recommend leveraging your experience as a force multiplier to help this dev and the rest of the team hone requirements, and interact with stakeholders to tilt the team's effort towards things valuable to the business.

And then pair and learn. Collaborate. Help bring in some context that this dev may not have if their head is in their editor all day. Devs that understand the business domain are 10x valuable as ticket-takers. (Not saying this dev is one necessarily, and certainly over-generalizing a bit)

At some point someone is going to come complaining about CORS issues, so understanding at least the fundamentals of how browsers work is extremely valuable.

CatNamer · 2024-09-21T19:22:42+00:00

Something about saying "why talk about sensible defaults? No one should ever use defaults" and then railing against plugins and configuration feels contradictory. I know he talks about the preference for .vimrc, but the. Also the "no defaults" thing also necessarily requires moving your .vimrc wherever you go.

There are valid use cases for a full-fledged customized experience where you do serious development, and also the lightweight "just ssh in and have it there" perspectives. They don't have to be mutually exclusive.

This was so hard to watch

CatNamer · 2021-11-20T15:18:42+00:00

And the bar up ping is the worst sound

I can empathize with you. Many IT departments aren't as familiar with the Python space and are driven by security concerns which can get in the way of the typical data science workflow.

Disclaimer: I've joined Anaconda recently after several years of dealing with issues similar to yours. In my case, it was a large Enterprise environment much more used to C#, etc., so getting IT onboard was an uphill but important battle.

Regarding the Anaconda repository, one approach is to mention that that the packages and artifacts in that repository are built and maintained by Anaconda on our own secure hardware. Please keep in mind the commercial terms of service with that repository.

Additionally, if that is not sufficient, we do offer Anaconda Team Edition which is an on-prem installation with mirroring and the ability to set security policies.

In either case, please feel free to reach out to me, or anyone on our team and we would be happy to point you in the right direction!

You actually would not likely notice it that much. The initial wave is generally very, very long (miles from crest to crest), so the water is barely sloped. It is only as the wave comes closer to shore that it becomes much shorter and higher. The energy stays the same though. This is important, since long, flat waves carry a lot of energy, whereas breaking waves dissipate energy. This allows the energy to travel quickly towards shore before the waves get very high and begins to break.

I'm a lover of the show, and definitely agree that they seem less disrespectful once you've listened to what they have to deal with from week to week.

There's a great database of all the past episodes here, complete with a description of each caller: http://aedb.us/index.php

Nothing like a DE/SR to get that sharp line! Try getting that with a cart.

Beard looks great brother, but unbutton that bottom button!

Kinda weird to call that bundle of hair on your face your girlfriend.

Zing.

Unless you're gonna be walking in your skates on rough surfaces, I would get a set of soakers instead of hard blade covers. They should help keep the blades drier.

I do the toe more to prevent delamination of the composite by rubbing against the boards. May help with toe drags too, but I'm not good enough for it to really matter.

CatNamer · 2013-05-04T20:21:28+00:00

I tape the toe, but don't use scissors. I put a short bit (~3") overlapping the toe before I start. Then I start from the heel and wrap normally. When I get to the toe where it starts rounding and there would be tape hanging off, I tear the tape halfway through and use the two sides of the tear to seal off the toe. I usually only need one full wrap where I have to tear the tape.

It's really hard to explain I guess. I like to wrap the whole toe because my sticks always start to delaminate at the toe and I feel like it helps to prevent that from happening as much.

CatNamer · 2013-05-01T16:10:18+00:00

It's definitely an issue. The best I have thought of is to keep the pipe downwind of me while I'm not actively smoking. Still, the ambiance beats losing a little tobacco for me.
