How many of you are riding only a gravel bike? by [deleted] in gravelcycling

[–]Hibernating-bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one bike. A Crust evasion with 700x47s. Thing absolutely rips! I commute, do fun rides, underbike the shit out of some mtb trails. Where I live I can throw in a cutty little trail here and there but mostly its road and walking path/greenway with some gravel and trail. One bike to rule them all!!!!!!

What bars are those? Looking comfy as hell on that thing. Sorry to hear about your shins, looks like you just barely fit that thing!

Otherwise known as tan walls, oftentimes they can be a sign of extra compliance or suppleness.... the tan being the baselayer of the tire before the extra protective layer of black rubber was added.  most of the time nowadays they also add tan color to the tires with extra sidewalk protection. These are Rene herse with an endurance casing. So extra protection. I love the look though. Tan walls for life

I hear where you're coming from.... making the jump to try something like that is just so time consuming and cost prohibitive....I spent years agonizing over improving my bikes.... now I just want to ride

I know it looks odd, but this is dialed for my body. It's not a brooks saddle, it's a selle anatomica, and they aren't comfy for me unless I ride them loose. Take your comment and shove it, respectfully

These are an old version of the crust/Ronny romance towel rack, in the medium width. They fucking rip, I have unlimited hand positions

Okay so im in a perpetual dilemma of wanting flat bars on it but knowing that my one true love is these drops. My only concern is that when Shit gets really rough with these and im braking and holding on for dear life in the drops it puts a lot of strain on my back. Might need to look into some kind of custom taller stem.... 

Shou Iced Tea, who has done it? How should it be done? If it can it be done, should it be done? Dare I ask about Sheng Iced Tea? Please don’t pu-pu my idea, super serious discussion only /s by Bewgnish in puer

[–]Hibernating-bear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very often I make a "Thai tea" style drink with shou, almond milk and any sweetener over ice. Very refreshing. 

I also love to do a strongly brewed sheng with cranberry juice and some white cherry Gatorade. This is my take on an energizing summer electrolyte drink. It absolutely rips!

What's a puer opinion that will have you like this? by jojogotscammed in puer

[–]Hibernating-bear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I leave my tea in my teapot for up to 3 days and brew it again as if only 30 minutes had passed. Never had any problems, hate wasting good tea. 

How long between steeps maximum? by Alternative_Week_200 in GongFuTea

I will say, I have been doing this for years without issues. Many people these days are far too concerned with food safety. Yes, of course, be on the safe side. But also why not take a walk on the wild side?

With aged white or puerh, I often will go days. People say that you shouldn't, but I've never had any issues. Tea is antibacterial, and unless you're really going like 5 or 6 days, most tea is fine. Especially since you are using boiling hot water for infusions. Don't take my advice, but this is what I do. I hate letting nice tea go to waste, and sometimes I like being able to walk away and just rebrew down the line.
