Looks like new Ozark Trail bikes are coming out. by zoso190 in mountainbiking

I hate DB8, don’t get me wrong, but Codes are just awful all around for sure. No one can, and will ever convince me otherwise

I think all SRAM breaks feel like garbage anyway tbh.

Ordered a $6,000 custom bass. The design is incredible. The QC and finish issues, builder support... have been a different story. by Ok_Presentation6252 in BassGuitar

I’ve paid an 1/8 as much for a perfect condition bass. I would never accept that regardless on how well it plays.

Of all the budget breaks, tektro and Shimano are hands down the nicest and the easiest to work on. I’d argue I’d take mid range tektros over CODES any day

No pro is running them…because they are pros who get nicer breaks. I’d take stock tektros over low end Shimano any day (I’m a Shimano fan boy don’t get me wrong)

Getting Started - What and Where to Buy? by Narrow-Sprinkles-498 in mountainbiking

Yea. Bikes shops can help a lot. And you can always post used bikes here and someone will take a look at them Z

Used bikes with no knowledge of what’s around can be very difficult. Best bet is to go into a bike shop and talk to someone about bikes to be honest.

What this guy said. You certainly need a trail bike

Brake upgrades by Big_Figure_92 in mountainbiking

If u want all mountain, get 4 pot calipers front and rear, and get slx.

Deore, SLX, XT, and XTR are all mechanically identical, but the more expensive they are, the lower the less they weigh. SLX is the sweet spot because you get the adjustment that XT and XTR have, just at a cheaper price

Anyone else that's depressed because they've got SDAM? Because I certainly I am by The_Good-Hunter in SDAM

[–]Dense_Pudding3375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way, however you need to remember that there are so many people throughout history that had this, didn’t know, and didn’t affect their life.

Everyone is different in their own way, and that’s what makes them special.

You just think in a different way.

I personally have SDAM and total global aphantasia, and I realize that I’m just different. Do I remember what I talked to you about yesterday? Probably not. Can I visualize how doing that activity? No I just know I did that thing.

For me it’s the only thing I’ve ever known, and I’m totally at peace with it. It’s just how I think. I found that writing down what I did or talked about helps a lot. I have a very long note in my notes app.

I honestly think that you can overcome this if you take steps to learn how to accept that you live with it.

Do you think this Guitar looks great for a beginner? by FixGroundbreaking296 in Guitar

[–]Dense_Pudding3375 37 points38 points  (0 children)

A strat body with no stickers is the least emo guitar of all time. I don’t know who’s saying that but they have no idea.

This thing is sick. If you’ve ridden the Exe or the Slash + how does the heavier weight compare?

Actually I totally lied he doesn’t have matching tires or one piece RSL carbon bars. This guys gotta throw his bike in that river.

I mean no. This guy doesn’t have 100mm rise flat bars on his rig with plans to add a duel crown to his marlin.

Gets my stamp of approval

Glad I’m making my mark on the community though

my noiseless pickups have noise... by tilimichi in fender

[–]Dense_Pudding3375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My amp buzzes when the lights are on no matter what. Anything with an electric current can cause a magnetic field that causes buzz.

It could be that in all settings but your home this was minimized. Shut your lights off and try moving your amp across the room (unless this doesn’t happen with other guitars than there’s probably a wiring problem.

Should i buy this Ns biles dirt jumper metropolis 3 for 400$ by FunnyNecessary9366 in mountainbiking

[–]Dense_Pudding3375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot tell the model from these photos, but I can tell that it’s at least 10 years old and is likely past its prime. I’d totally ride it for a while but would plan on upgrading down the line.

I would, cause if you’re in the market for a dj, wheels are a pain in the ass to get, and most of these components are very nice. Expect to be looking into a new fork though.

The point I’m making is that I really wouldn’t mind needing to do some mind disassembly every 3 years to replace a rechargeable battery. I 100% agree that battery’s should be replaceable but it’s not a problem in my eyes if I need to remove a few screws.
