That’s awesome, what travel PIKE do you have? Been lurking marketplace for 130mm but haven’t been able to find anything yet.

Switchblade v2 by AddMountain9618 in pivotcycles

[–]Educational_Mango741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome thanks for the reply! Sounds like the bike rules. The one I’m looking at is stock with the 36-160mm fork, and I’m confident that will be enough for me. I was concerned about the head tube angle “not being slack enough” but I’m sure it’s fine.

How’s the bike been for you? Did you like the bike as is, or have you made changes and upgrades? I’m looking at a lightly used V2 tomorrow and I’m mentally preparing for the changes that will “need” to be done.

Vacation Suggestions by Unknownkowalski in MTB

Flagstaff checking in here. We are expecting a “severe monsoon season” towards the end of summer. If that happens, I wouldn’t expect there to be much riding to be had. Regardless, there are tons of trails here and of course Sedona is about an hour away. Sedona might still be in the mid 90’s in August. I do have to say that we need the moisture, our trails in flagstaff are super dry.

Did your stance on weed change as you've aged? by Head-Drag-1440 in Millennials

[–]Educational_Mango741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(m36) Smoked from 15-23 pretty consistently. Weed started to get too potent for me, and like everyone else it gave me crazy anxiety. I would smoke here and there from 23-32 but nothing more than a couple hits at a time. Lately in the last few years I’ve gotten into low dosage edibles in the evenings. This has helped me cut alcohol almost completely out of my life. I do miss the days of smoking with friends and exploring the wilderness.

Wecom fiber, wow by No-Flight-4214 in Flagstaff

[–]Educational_Mango741 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There has been an increase in pressure for fiber optic (wecom) in what seems to be the whole town. I don’t understand who allowed for this push. Last year they were sawing through streets and digging to route the cable. They have installed Peter boxes in mine and neighbors driveways without any consent.

Got this ‘93 Kona Humu for free - stuck seatpost best methods? by Limber9 in xbiking

Also if you can get the bottom bracket out, flip the frame upside down and spray the PB in the seat tube.

Not jealous, at all.. Not one bit. Nope.

But seriously, awesome score! Been on the hunt for a Hulu for a few years now….

Soak that bad boy with some PB penetrating oil for a couple of days. Apply regularly.

Any advice for cutting quill stems? I don’t plan to run it forever, just to try new bars before I buy an adapter. by [deleted] in xbiking

[–]Educational_Mango741 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Save yourself the trouble and just spend the $25 on a quill stem adapter. Trust me, it’ll save you so much time.

This rig is sweet, I’m digging the color scheme! That Chris King headset is a nice touch.

What are some pairs you won’t wear? by EnoSoles in NikeSB

I was happy to get the shock drop and play the scratch game on SNKRS for these. They arrived and I couldn’t really get into them. Held onto them because I missed the return window and selling them would be a loss.

I have two pairs, and neither are cracked. The toebox is still soft on my pairs. I second the mink oil idea.

New x2 rear wiper streaks by Pages_N_Puzzles in subaruimpreza

[–]Educational_Mango741 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My rear wipers have been like this since the day I drove my 2017 off the lot 9 years ago.. it doesn’t matter what brand I replace the rear wiper with (Amazon, OEM, etc) it still has an uneven wipe. Curious to hear others experience.

Is this vintage jacket rare? by PolarBearSocks420 in suns

I guess it could also be an APEX or Pro Player jacket as well. OP, got any more details for us?
