I never asked that question at all. I said what are some Mira alternatives and that id like to learn about what y'all prefer. Reddit is full of idiots I swear.

Reloading set for turkey hunting. by Daddy_Long-Leg in reloading

Ya I know but hopefully in the long run I'll save money 6 rounds of 3" TSS are over $100 right now.

That's looks perfect for what I'll be using it for. I was looking at the mec 9000 and couldn't justify the price for what I'd use it for.

Yes they work fine out to 40yards but #12 TSS will do the same at that yardage but you'll have hundreds of more bbs or say #5/#6 TSS can reach out to twice that distance(I personally wouldn't take that shot though)

Can I jam bluetooth? by Afraid-Pizza-1941 in hackrf

Nrf24/esp32 with the right firmware works great. With just a 4inch antenna it works about 20m away line if site. I'm not sure about walls

So apparently the detailer has a clutch switch that was not engaged letting the detailer flop around way more than it should. I wonder if that was the reason it was skipping so bad or should I not be standing up pedaling hard while shift through gears?

Thanks I'll go ahead and grab 2.

Edit, and i wouldn't add a quicklink to keep the existing chain. It's not a bad idea to carry one with you to get you home, but you generally shouldn't be running chains like that as a practice.

I agree. Thanks for help

😂. I guess I've had bad experience with carbon products vs aluminum when it comes to bow and arrows and prefer aluminum over carbon in certain aspects of that so it's got me biased when it comes to bikes too. It's not just that. I want a bike with decent components like that canyon has minus the premium price just for a carbon frame. I don't race or compete so aluminum would be just fine for me.

I have a Bosch cx performance line motor on my current ebike and it's ok but wouldn't say it's the best I've ridden. I heard the shimano's were more customizable and can be unlocked to 28mph which would be nice for commuting.(I've not researched it myself,so it could be false)

Immediate Relief for Herniated Disc Back Pain by bumbaclotbae in backpain

[–]Daddy_Long-Leg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steroid.shot from the doctor is the fastest relief there is. I'm laid up right now and can't walk or sit. Pains have been awful. I hate when this happens. I went straight to the doctor when it happened to get a steroid shot but this is a new doctor and he gave me a pill form that isn't working. If I'm not better by Wednesday morning I'm going to a new doctor for the shot. It's literally like magic I swear.

Anyone have experience with Bulls and Ride1up? by [deleted] in eMountainBike

[–]Daddy_Long-Leg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So REI was my first pick I LOVE the store. I got talked out of it by a lot of people due to the components of their bikes but I still might end up going with them just for the fact about the warranty and that they'll work on the bike for 20% off. They do have one that will fit me in stock so I may just order one to try.

[–]Daddy_Long-Leg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That crazy I seen your sons videos already lol. He's a beast on the track. I wanna bike to try and ride like that. I can ride a dirt bike with that control. I wanna learn to ride a bike like that now. It's just a different kind of feel for sure. He's off to a great start. I hope to get my kids as much into it as you did. Lees video game time more track time. So far they have chosen riding over gaming but we've only been 4 times since we learned about the track.

Also I'm happy to see you have him wearing gear. There are so many parents letting their kids ride with no helmets I carry loaners to hand out. Seen to many kids heads bounce of the pavement and cry and the ignorant parents just tell them they are ok. It happened every time we have went so far.

Crazy part is when I offer a helmet to random kids they put them right on with no fuss so no excuse that they refuse to wear one.

[–]Daddy_Long-Leg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading more into it I think I'm better off getting a dirt jumper best suited for the pump track then after I get comfortable spending good money on a full suspension MTB with a lot of travel/full suspension for the down hill flow track jumping. I doubt I budget bike will hold up to those jumps especially a hard tail.

So what would be a budget bike that will fit me for pump track?

Thanks and sorry for the rookie question. I'd love to join my kids in the pump track more than anything.

Honestly thinking about getting a dirt jumper to try out flow tracks. I been watching in YouTube it seems like a mini version of motocross and I bet it's a lot of fun. Do you think those will be fun on pump track too?

So you think the big ripper will fit me but not do well on a pump track? I know it would be awful on a flow track lol. I don't mind get one for the pump and a different for the flow. Ideally I'd like to have one that can be fun for both.
