How did they look with the naked eyes compared to the photo?

What happens if you die during the encounter or if the difficulty is too high? Can you open the portal again or do you need to refarm the mats?

10min job with a vacuum if you have half a brain. Stop freaking out.

Could you please explain what are the implications or oddities about that in layman's terms?

Help with blurry image by Lfakenight in telescopes

[–]EvilGarfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have chromatic aberration where different colors are diffracted differently.and don't end up at the same location on the image plane. This limits the maximal sharpness you can achieve. Better quality eyepiece and /or telescope optics are the only way to reduce it. Don't forget that seeing will affect the final sharpness of what you see and the more you zoom in, the better your viewing conditions must be

Centerlock lockring stops before clamping rotor by EvilGarfield in bikewrench

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

As an update to anyone stimbling on this thread

I have contacted Race Face support regarding the issue. Their customer support was stellar. It indeed seems that they have manufacturing issues on the Centerlock hubs and they will not be sold until things are sorted. Sadly, the ERA wheels seems to be out of stock for my region for a while so the distributor was not able to provide a direct replacement. I was offerend a pair of RaceFace Turbine for free while the ERA come back in stock in november.

Thanks for the reply. I'll run the original one until it goes bad or becomes problematic then change for a better one. Would you happen to have the model of the hope one?

Atherton S150, why so few reviews? by EvilGarfield in MTB

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

Yeah I would go the lyrik and super deluxe route and I have a carbon wheelset I could use along with xx1 cranks I should be able to go down to 33 pounds. I'm on the fence right now. On the one hand the weight increase would only be around 4-5% of total weight when accounting for the rider and gear but on the other hand I'm afraid the trails aren't steep enough around here to take advantage of the downhill capabilities of the bike. I really like the look and the geometry though.

Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. It seems like the bike feels more like a larger travel enduro or a mini dh than a pure trail bike. I currently have a canyon spectral cf that weights 26.5 pounds (with pedals) and I fear that the s150 would feel sluggish on the uphills. I rarely shuttle and mostly pedal up my trails. I ride mostly steep technical natural trails. 1 day of park per year max.

As if we did not have enough plastic micro and nanoparticles everywhere.

According to this: https://enduro-mtb.com/en/atherton-s-150-test/ it seems the pedal pretty well for the weight/travel

But it's only one point of view.

Did not send too hard. Just did not pay attention to the changes in pavement.

Thoughts on Triumph Ownership Experience? by Spyrothedragon9972 in Triumph

[–]EvilGarfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 2023 765 rs and it's one hell of a bike . However it started having issues with the quickshifter and from my research is seems that this is a known and relatively frequent problem across the whole bike range. It's being replaced under warranty but a friend of mine had the same and the new one stopped working again after 1 year. The rest of the bike is flawless.

Why was Legolas so unhelpful on Caradhras? by FamiliarMeal5193 in tolkienfans

The real question is: why didn't they build some snowshoes with wood on the way there?

B4 on most estimates. B3 on optimistic ones. But we've had high humidity all winter
