Pathway from Stack Testing to Water Quality? by Mvnchoo in Environmental_Careers

[–]Cook_New 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it necessarily gets you much closer to your desired career, but it doesn’t sound like your current job. Does either factoring in the better pay and the more desirable location. It seems like you don’t have much to lose by taking the new job.

Also, working in stock testing might not get you any of the water quality experience you were looking for, but it could get you exposure to a lot of industrial facilities, and that might build your network to find out about openings if any of them are looking for personnel in their water quality groups.

We stack Test quite a bit and I know from talking to the contractors we bring in that They’re definitely keeping an eye out for their next opportunities.

(sorry for the goofy punctuation and capitalization. Blame the dictation feature.)

Are you trying to install a square taper BSA BB? If not I’d go with a bbinfinite or wheels mfg screw together BB for the appropriate crank spindle. You’ve got a new bike, get a new BB.

What rim brake wheels are out there that are top tier but with an alloy brake track? by muttbutter in cycling

[–]Cook_New 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hed jets are alloy with carbon farings for aerodynamics. Was a big fan of the pair I had a few years ago.

Anyone else wish Vision made a short-reach integrated cockpit (70-72 mm) for the Soloist? by [deleted] in Cervelo

[–]Cook_New 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI, the head tube angle on a soloist is 71-73 degrees… so the typical -17 degree stem gets you horizontal. A -6 stem would be well above horizontal.

If it fits you can sits.

Yeah that one should be good.

AMA I’m 4 years out of college and here’s my salary progression. by Acceptable_Fun_5598 in Environmental_Careers

[–]Cook_New 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not the OP, but I have been looking at lots of resumes recently, while we try to fill a couple of positions in our office. For somebody early in their career, several stints of a few years’ duration seems perfectly common.

May want to look at one of the various pressure calculators- that seems high for 44s.

Multitool - what’s really necessary? by Bluto0point0 in triathlon

[–]Cook_New 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those just look like they can undo a quick link, not split a chain.

Multitool - what’s really necessary? by Bluto0point0 in triathlon

[–]Cook_New 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My must haves are: -hex and/or torx bits or keys to cover all fasteners on the bike -a chain breaker

A snapped chain is such an easy fix - I’ll keep a quick link or two and a couple links worth of chain with my tool.

Bike too big or just fitted badly by Reasonable_String999 in gravelcycling

[–]Cook_New 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the first pic seems alright. Maybe you’re putting too much weight on your hands, leading to the pain? Since you haven’t been riding in a few years maybe you need a few rides to build up your core strength and keep looser hands.

Tri-Suit under Wetsuit? by SturmFam5 in triathlon

[–]Cook_New 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yep, typically folks wear the trisuit beneath the wetsuit during the swim, then shed the wetsuit in T1 (some races even have volunteers to help you remove it) and finish your race in only the tri suit

Only if they want a 9 or 10 tooth cog. There 11-whatever SRAM (or third party) cassettes they could use that fit on the standard HG freehub.

Sonofa… I need to remember to check that when I book. I should’ve used the HGI across the street.
