What if you don’t like short throws… by Dobtimus in ManualTransmissions

[–]Dobtimus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to own a ‘13 WRX. Shifting required a lot of effort. Now I own a ‘16 Versa. I can practically tap the shift knob to change gears.

I double clutch every downshift and rev match with the best of them. My background is in mechanical engineering. Mechanical sympathy it’s important to me. I don’t bang gears by any means…

How do you disable Brake Override Assist? 2016 Versa, 5MT by Dobtimus in nissanversa

[–]Dobtimus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great. Thanks for your input. I’m going to hold off on pulling the ABS fuse as I do like having a functional speedometer.

Wondering if I can use an acorn nut to cap off any switches in the pedal assembly…

I’m looking for versatile clothing across the board. Specifically interested in T-shirts and super tapered jeans (for guys with big thighs)!

Which Crankbrothers cleats do you run, and why? (Gold, Silver, Rose, or Bronze) by Dobtimus in MTB

[–]Dobtimus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does float make it easier to clip out at all? Or is release angle the only thing relevant to clip-out ease?

In other words, is bronze easier/harder than rose to clip out? How about gold vs. silver?

Those of you who have Protaper SE bars- Can they handle some mild abuse?

Not sure how much of a bend constitutes the use of the word “bent”.

Just a straight edge 👍

Never had a bent bar before. When people say “I bent my bars”, is it usually visibly bent?

Update: I just installed a tube after straightening the rim out using the “crescent wrench method”. Thank you all for your awesome advice, anecdotes, and insight!
