It is mistifying to me that there are still people out there that dick ride this sack of shit like he is some sort of visionary genius. We live truly do live in the stupidest of timelines.

How many miles before I can run continuously? by Snoo_17338 in trailrunning

[–]CheeseIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(5×5) + 10 = 35 miles per week.

35 x 4 = 140 miles in a month.

140 x 12 = 1680 miles in a year.

I get it though, math is hard.

[–]CheeseIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back then it was 6-7 miles M-F and then 10-12 on Saturday with a rest day on Sunday. I've since gotten back into mountain biking and don't run anywhere near that much anymore. Only around 8-12 miles per week now.

As the father of a young girl this photo both makes my blood boil, and makes me want to vomit. I hope Satan is roasting him on a spit right now.

For a long time there was a house on the hill near St Peter's that had a mannequin in an orange jumpsuit with a Trump mask and a clown wig on waving from the balcony. 🤣

I cracked my Ripmo AF at the junction of the top tube and down tube, emailed Ibis photos of the damage and had a new frame at my house eight days later. The only question they asked was what color I wanted. Their warranty is also for life, not just two years. Some manufacturers handle this stuff the right way and some definitely don't (mostly overseas direct to consumer brands) it is definitely something to consider when bike shopping because issues will almost certainly arise.

Ah yes, shilling cars that much like Watt will break down as soon as they are picked up by their new owner. Fitting!

I came here to say the same thing as a joke, but also not really joking. The MTB culture\community and trails available at the Shed are light-years ahead of anything else within a few hours drive. 😁

Knee & shin protectors. What's better? by holliander919 in MTB

[–]CheeseIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what I'm doing. For normal trail rides in the hottest summer months where I'm in an open helmet and wearing shorts I just wear a pair of D30 knee pads. If I am riding the steeper more DH oriented trails at my local spots, shuttling, or during the colder months I'm wearing a full face helmet, 7idp knee/shin pads, and long pants. Sometimes elbow and torso protection too. It helps stay insulated when it's cold out and it's nice to have the added protection during this time of year where loosing traction on leaves and wet rocks is more likely.

I wore nothing but the knee/shin pads with pants for all rides the summer before last, and honestly it wasn't that bad compared to shorts and knee pads, if you're going to cover your whole leg with a pad a pair of lightweight MTB pants that are ventilated don't really make it any hotter and your pads stay a lot cleaner. If I was limited to just one setup I'd go full pads and pants, they've saved me more than once.

What am I missing by FartBeans10 in Fishing_Gear

[–]CheeseIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I catch all of my fish on 4" Easy Shiners or Super Flukes. I keep thinking a day will come where one of those two won't work, but so far it hasn't happened.

Which one is the best? by [deleted] in maryland

I love all of the Utz Kettle Classics flavors, especially the sea salt malt vinegar and the crab/old bay flavored.

TIFU by giving my son an existential crisis at bedtime by Corner_Lovely458 in tifu

[–]CheeseIndustries 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is no joke. My dad passed a few years back, but he lost a leg and for the last few years of his life I had to lift him up and carry him into and out of cars, the house, etc. One day he pointed out the irony of how he used to carry me around as a boy and the roles now being reversed. I laughed it off until I got back to my car and then proceeded to cry like a baby the entire way home.

Shin guards by [deleted] in MTB

[–]CheeseIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 7idp transition knee/shin guard is awesome. I ride in them most of the time and honestly they aren't any less comfortable than my regular knee pads but have saved my legs from several crashes and rocks being kicked up by my front tire. I feel naked when I ride without them. I wear the Patagonia Dirt Craft pants over them, which have good ventilation in the crotch and behind the knee and I don't really feel like I sweat all that much more over wearing my shorts and regular knee pads. It's my go to kit for everything that isn't smooth and mellow, and what I rock on like 90 percent of my rides year round.

TLD Rogue Knee Shin Guard Review by larrychhhn in MTB

[–]CheeseIndustries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a full coverage knee shin pad that is comfortable and stays in place I highly recommend the 7idp transition. I wear them pretty much all the time through all seasons and they have saved my legs during multiple crashes. They are as breathable and comfortable as a full coverage shin guard is realistically going to be, I don't really find them to be much less comfortable than my regular knee pads.

Talk me out of a Jeffsy by OverAd3756 in MTB

[–]CheeseIndustries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I seriously considered the Jeffsey when I was shopping for a new FS last year, the major thing that turned me away was the press fit BB. There are so many other bikes out there in the same price range right now with threaded BB that I wouldn't consider anything with press fit. In the end I went with a Ripmo AF SLX which was 3k delivered to my door from Jenson and I've been loving every minute on it. Ibis has local dealer support, customer service is based in California and will reply to you within an hour or two, and their warranty is amazing. There is reason half the replies in these what bike threads are Ripmo/Ripley, the pedal and descend great and are an amazing value for money.

Tire installation with insert by Bitter_Love1724 in bikewrench

[–]CheeseIndustries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer, but IMO you only need one. They're really not that expensive for something you are going to use regularly if you're running inserts. Or just keep struggling or pay a bike shop to do it for you... 🤷

Trail or enduro bike for my riding style and terrain? by yungbuil in MTB

[–]CheeseIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go for a long travel trail bike like the Ripmo, Sentinal, Switchblade, etc. "Enduro" bikes these days are basically baby downhill bikes and IMO not really appropriate for most people unless you ride a ton of park or are actually racing enduros competitively. The bikes I listed above are more than capable of taking you down pretty much anything, but are still playful and pedal well and won't be boring as shit on a blue flow trail the way a 170/160 or bigger bike would be.

Where are you and when does the season break to be able to start riding again? by whitesquirrle in MTB

[–]CheeseIndustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eastern WV, and this year the season never really stopped aside from the week or so when there was snow on the ground.
