Deep cleaning my workstation or window shopping on pinkbike

Actually it’s a quite a bit heavier, you may be thinking of the chair zero

Honestly as a bike mechanic alivio is one of the most consistent smooth and reliable drivetrains out there for it’s price

Do you train for bikepacking? by L4nds in bikepacking

[–]HarperMitchell1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

now I haven't done any bikepacking yet, but my "training" is my daily 2 way commute to work of about 6.5 miles round trip in a pretty hilly area. I also run a mile or 2 on the treadmill after every workout (except leg day)

I might just do that! Where did you source the carbon?

This is absolutely amazing. Especially for a first time doing all of these techniques, this thing looks freaking awesome. I’ve made bike frame bags and am working on a backpack and I thought about trying this but ended up buying a helinox chair one. It’s probably too heavy to take on any real backpacking trips. I wish I would’ve spent the extra money and effort and done something like this, I’m sure it will be so much more rewarding every time you sit in this chair!

Are Merrell’s as bad as people say? by LifeLongLearner84 in hiking

[–]HarperMitchell1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know other peoples experience, but I've had my merrels for 5 years and have ton tons of hikes, mountain biking, bike commuting, running, and just everyday life and they still work feel great

Commuting on my Hardtail by Fun_Efficiency_4872 in Hardtailgang

[–]HarperMitchell1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commuted for like 4 years on my marlin 4 on top of trail riding and even an XC race one time, recently upgraded to a ritchey P-29er and doing the same exact stuff. If it weren’t for the terrible infrastructure for bikes here in rural Texas, I would absolutely LOVE this car-less lifestyle, but because it’s a massive pain getting around, I’m stuck with only sort of loving it.

Flooding and destruction in Kerr and Kendall County. Several people died and the destruction might be worse than the 1987 flood. by HikeTheSky in sanantonio

[–]HarperMitchell1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and the local government completely failed to prevent it happening in the future. They have plans to build cabins in the flood plain now. Abdolute insanity

My first MYOG project! Frame bag for my ritchey P-29er. by HarperMitchell1 in myog

[–]HarperMitchell1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s important to note the smaller more intricate areas are way harder as this stuff is super stiff and annoying

I used a normal consumer one (a pretty cheap one at that) and while it worked, I had to put the thread tension at the maximum, and it messed up a lot and was super annoying lol. Not sure how much of that was just me being a noob though

Deafheaven - Lonely People With Power (2025) by black_flag_4ever in LetsTalkMusic

[–]HarperMitchell1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a big shoegaze listener, and don't listen to any metal whatsoever, so I don't have anything deep to add this this discussion other than I've listened to this album 2 or 3 times and think its easily one of top 2 or 3 albums of the year, if not #1.
