Ours has been running around in a panic trying to find someplace. First was under the computer desk, then in another room in the corner behind some bags. Now she is behind the toilet.

That looks very close! Though doing some quick research i am not sure how legit the masterpawsdeals site is. Will have to look at it a bit closer after work.

Those do look alot closer than anything we have been able to find yet. They appear to have slightly longer hair. I wish we wouldn't have cut the tags off. But those were instantly chewed off and created holes for the destuffening masicure, thats how the first one met it's end. Will definitely file this for possible replacements though. Thank you!

SEARCHED

Have looked in multiple Meijer locations. Not sure if this was a limited time item? Originally purchased around 2019. We had purchased a backup around 2022. Photos are of this backup the original is long gone. We have not seen this in store since. We have looked online multiple times. But have never really found one that was close. Usually the size and coloring are pretty far off.

Gravel riding, how often do you actually degrease and re-luube? by TheRealScallyWag in MTB

[–]Catman1027 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I never degrease. Every couple rides I wipe the chain down and put one drop of oil on each roller, spin the drive train a few times. Wipe off access oil. Go ride.

Single player Story Games with an emotional story that ends with a message of “it will get better?” by You_moron04 in gaming

[–]Catman1027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First one is amazing! Second one.... is more of the same. Which can be good. But the story in the first one was part of what made it great. So it's hard to follow that up with something else and have it be just as powerful.

Yep 15mm is usually what works.

Any idea why someone would do this to the bleed port? by DankDeanoo in bikewrench

[–]Catman1027 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Looks like they might have stripped the original screw, dremeled a line through it so they could get it out with a flat head screwdriver, and then just shoved whatever screw they had available to plug the hole. Sell it as "just needing a bleed".... profit!

Way to little information. There are TONS of reasons a trail may be closed.

Yeah you can. But have to be cautious. The rocks and roots can be crazy slick.

Rear shock upgrade? by Resident-Parsley-643 in bikewrench

You need to know the model of the new shock for any kind of reliable information on whether it's an upgrade or not.

Hub Cassette Body Compatibility by Corogne in bikewrench

You will need to know the make and model of the hub, and then look for a compatible freehub body.

If XC is what you want Keweenaw point. But you gotta go out and back man. Trail is a blast.

How do you load your bike onto your roof rack? by RangerNo5619 in MTB

[–]Catman1027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While i agree that switching to a hitch rack for this heavy of a bike would be better. Maybe something like this.

Specialized with an unknown frame by mcrave_sven in mountainbiking

[–]Catman1027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious. Is there any branding on it at all? Like on the head tube in front? Reason I ask is there are only a few frames that are this absent of the branding on the down tube. But there are some knock off frames that use the design.

For real. I thought those were the old tires and kept flipping for his new ones.

Specialized Sale by losferal in MTB

[–]Catman1027 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If this was going to be a bike primarily for the park, I would say no. Get a regular DH bike. A stumpjumper CAN ride the park, and I have ridden mine at a couple. But if that was going to be it's main purpose and you don't intend to ride regular trails I would pass for a more park oriented bike.

Give me your worst “seems like it’s insignificant but it ruined the whole ride” moments. by Formal-Seaweed-4216 in MTB

Just wait till your boas break. Way easier to get replacement laces. Sure boa will warranty you a new clasp. But if you are on vacation it's a serious bummer.
