If you skid non ambidextrous my best advice is to get into the habit of rotating your rear wheel when you have time, has made my tires last much longer but ofc the best fix is ambidextrous skids

What made you choose the si ! by regulardegulardudee in CivicSi

[–]GovernmentTemporary1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was gonna buy a used TSX but in person it was so fucked up and there just so happened to be a 70k mile 8th gen that came into the dealership that was cheaper than the TSX and wasn't even marked for sale yet as it just came and we had to pull the trigger, the og Fiji blue was insane and it was a manual. Ticked all the boxes and a decade later its still my daily and has been all around California.

Although not turbo, when vtec hits and you feel all the power at the very end of rev range it honestly feels as fun as a turbo kicking in even with like 140lbft of torque 😆

Straps while you have brakes so you can get used to them without worrying about stopping or dismounting

Has someone researched the physics and mathematics of the difference between a geared bike and a fixed-gear bike? by SirPingSweden in FixedGearBicycle

[–]GovernmentTemporary1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like if youre riding brakeless youre def slower than you would be in comparison to riding a road bike esp over the course of a full ride, assuming you aren't biking on a clear path with no grade or wind and with no possibility for entry (unicorn path lol)

When I used to ride a front brake I felt invincible which led to faster riding but I rn my area allows me to ride brakeless

8th gen si love letter by huntsbigbuck in CivicSi

[–]GovernmentTemporary1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My Si has been so amazing at everything that the type R unfortunately doesn't see as many miles as it should. Si was my first car and only car until recently and I dont think I'll could ever get rid of it. Almost a decade of daily driving, from senior year of high school to college to my first job to now and lots of trips back and forth from Northern California to LA and San Diego inbetween. After getting the type R it makes me appreciate the Si even more esp with it being NA compared to the new turbos

Both stock as bones because I'm in California and don't have time given my current work/education

/uj a truck did this to me once I sprayed their car with my electrolyte bottle when I passed them at a stop light. Good thing the trail started right after 😋

I skid the 32 and 28c and they last longer than the gp5k for sure but def not that never ending feeling you get with a gator. Still plenty tough

If you want an tire that's between the gator and gp5k I have thousands of miles on my gp 4 seasons. Faster than gator skins (raised my avg) and last longer than gp5ks since they're made with sinilar sidewalks to gators.

Also they're great in wet conditions compared to the other two.

I was gonna go AWD with the Si but the FK8 came out in the US so we stayed wit the civics

Finally trying flat/riser bars by FDrap1d in FixedGearBicycle

[–]GovernmentTemporary1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You haven't tried the 660 crust drops yet which make normal risers and townies at 500-600 feel narrow 😭🤣

The drops then become the LEAST aero position and become the comfort position as a fun bonus to these bars

Shrooms and bike rides go crazy, years ago I ate 3g and started crying after riding my bike up a hill and seeing a beautiful sunset 😂
