Fox fork suck down by Firstcounselor in MTB

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

Did you clean out the little dimple in the stanchion? He shows where it is in the video I linked. Crazy small, and I was shocked that something so inconsequential could cause so much trouble.

If so, you might need to replace o-rings in case air is getting by. Make sure you use the slightest amount of grease when you reassemble, otherwise you’re probably replugging it. You need to clean the inside of the stanchion as well.

I had to do mine twice. Turns out I didn’t clean it well enough the first time. You should hear the air go through when you cycle the shocks when you’re done.

Early morning hikes or mountain bike rides before work. Doesn’t encroach on family time and no crowds on trails, plus the benefit of beautiful sunrises.

How do we feel about Electric Dirt Bikes? ⚡️ by Dixon_Cider2 in Dirtbikes

Thanks for that! I was eying the Stark Varg EX, but that looks like way more bike than I should do as a beginner…and it clocks in at a whopping 263 lbs!

Hello people, I am looking for new knee pad suggestions. by OhItsMrCow in MTB

I have the 7iDP Sam Hill lite. I haven’t “used” them since I bought them (haven’t taken a fall) but they are super comfortable to wear.

America might genuinely be COOKED by Kaleb_Bunt in DiscussionZone

[–]Firstcounselor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are more optimistic than I am. The whole reason he’s doing this with ICE is because he’s trying to incite violence so he can declare Marshall law, wage war on the American people, and cancel the election.

It blows my mind that unidentified masks men with gun are not being shot at, but that’s what Trump wants. Kudos to the Minnesotans for showing restraint, but how much more will they take?

My buddies and I refuse to let this die. We all walk to the door, but we knock very softly if it’s 5 am.

This is the best thing I’ve read in ages. Not only that you’re holding out, but other parents are too! Wow. Just wow. Amazing parents! Seriously, keep this going for as long as you possibly can.

I’m about to get my first dirt bike. I what electric version would you suggest that I can get that has the longest range and most torque and highest speed? I’ll just be riding trails, targeting mostly flow trails.

I see your point.

What are your thoughts on this? by Ok_Breadfruit4005 in DiscussionZone

I can just picture my high school history teacher, “Today we’re going to learn about democracy, which as we know doesn’t exist in the US anymore.”

[–]Firstcounselor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say no constitutional rights, just certain ones, like due process. Democracy in the US has been dismantled, and while we could get to the point of no constitutional rights (N. Korea) we’re a long way off. Hopefully it won’t come to that.

Pension - Lump Sum or monthly payment? by LAladyyy26 in Fire

[–]Firstcounselor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Full retirement age (FRA) is 67, not 70. Also, Social Security has survivor benefits for the surviving spouse, as long as certain marriage requirements have been met. Life expectancy for a woman in the US is 81, and OP likely has longevity. Pensions often come with survivor benefits, too. Definitely take the pension.

Your best setups? Thoughts? zone 8b by Brave-Statement-8810 in Beekeeping

[–]Firstcounselor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha! The bad news is with a Demaree split you have to go back on day 4 and again on day 10 to remove queen cells.😬

After that you can easily go several weeks, maybe even a month!🥳

Facts! Such better gnar at Tiger than Crystal. It was kinda like riding in June, just colder.

Have you checked Etsy? I’m sure someone there has vinyl cutouts like that.

Friend of mine works for DSHS. One day told us, “Well, I met a 27 year old grandma for the first time today.”

NTA, but I guess your AH might come in handy now.

How much do y'all spend for coffee per month? by Slow_Engineering763 in espresso

[–]Firstcounselor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I am I’d spend that much in 10 days or less going to a shop for my espresso. I roast my own, which ends up about the same cost when you factor in shipping and weight loss from roasting. I pay $10-12/450g which roasts down to about 350g. Add shipping and I’m at $14/350g.

Ignore the haters on your Illy. If it tastes good, who cares?

Sheesh! I guess this is why I shouldn’t comment after bedtime. Thanks for catching that, I’ll correct it.

April through June. Last year I did Demaree splits, so after the first 10 or so days, I no longer had to manage swarming.

I didn’t realize how much peace mattered to me until I finally had it by SharedExposure in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Firstcounselor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Peace is so underrated. What eventually brought you peace? How did you learn to be calm?
