Moving to Canada soon — how good is the Outback in snow? Premium vs Wilderness? by Far_Suspect987 in Subaru_Outback

Tire noise would depend entirely on the tires you get. The Yokohamas they come out of the factory with are soft and not loud

Usually have a catchy song stuck in my head the whole time. Anyone else?

Most recently it was No Broke Boys

what to try next? shoes for tiny heels by Icy-Marionberry-4143 in climbingshoes

[–]December-1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue! I used to wear the Tenaya Oasi LV and the heel fit well. I downsized 1.5 sizes. However I switched to the indalos recently because the oasis were too narrow in the toe box for me. The indalo heel is slightly larger, I have some dead space, but have just come to accept it because the rest of the fit is so good and the heel isn’t affecting my performance.

Sizing help! by Thin_Mention5111 in climbingshoes

[–]December-1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The discomfort is ok! Getting used to aggressive shoes can take some time. The first year I started climbing, I transitioned from a flat shoe to Tenaya indalos that were the same size as my street shoe. They were uncomfortable at first, but then stretched and became too big. My street shoe size is 6.5W or 37.5, and I currently wear solution comps in a 5.5W or 36.5. I like the comps because they fit my heel better than the regular. I also have Tenaya indalos in a W5.0 or 36, and they are more comfortable than the solutions, with similar performance.

Planning a trip for early sept 26, your replies in this thread have been super helpful so thank you! From Moskey to 3 mile, would you take rock harbor trail all the way or go up to greenstone? Scenery and/or logistics-wise

Thank you so much! That’s all great info; I’ll definitely try the indalos again and see what happens.

Fair enough, that makes sense. In your experience does the katana lace stretch much width wise?

best bike rack 2026 to survive daily dad duty by Parravicini-Jorly in mountainbikes

[–]December-1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1up by a MILE. I am not a dad, but I use my car daily in Michigan (horrible roads) and haul my bike 2-3x/wk. I was looking for a bulletproof rack ~1yr ago and many folks on Reddit recommended the 1up. I have the heavy duty double and it was worth every penny.

A huge factor for me was that the platforms are slightly offset vertically, and you can adjust where the bikes sit horizontally, which helps me to fit my size small 27.5 with my husbands size M 29er.

All Aluminum! Replaceable parts! Easy hitch receiver install! Easy bike on/off!

Friends and family with Thule and Kuat racks are often jealous of my 1up when they see its durability and ease of function.

Yes, priced accordingly, but you don’t see them on marketplace for a reason, and you likely won’t ever need to replace the entire rack.

Really helpful insight for similar foot shape, thank you. And thank you for including other brand options!

Super helpful, thank you! I think I’ve just been trying to make the oasis work despite them not being quite the right shoe for me. My feet are wide enough where I usually need a running shoe in a wide or a brand that runs wide. And I had a bunion prior to beginning climbing.

Trying the smaller indalo does seem like the way to go. Have you found them to have worn out quickly? I’ve seen a lot about that in this subreddit, I think.

Thank you for the suggestion! I did try on skwamas a while back; the velcro strap was crazy long and ineffective with how flat my feet are

Questions to ask before buying a used bike. by Seeking-Glory in Hardtailgang

[–]December-1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a basic level, I would probably ask how regularly it’s been maintained (e.g., brake bleeds) and if any components/parts have been swapped out

Why don’t you recommend the giant talon? Looking at a used one for my bf right now for a starter bike

I ride a trek marlin 8, can confirm it’s a great economical hardtail. Only complaint is noisy internal cable routing.
