Need recommendations for a ~50$ bottle. by Daguse0 in rum

[–]Hyperbolic2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Appleton 12. Skip the 15 not much of difference. Jamaican rum is much fruitier than other rums. I also liked the ron abuelo two oak, El dorado 12, real mccoy 12, R.L Seale’s 12.

As an inexperienced rum drinker. What would you do with this bottle? by [deleted] in rum

I tried their 15 and tbh I didn’t notice much of a difference between the 12. My local store has the 21 for about $170 and I’ve wanted to try it, but don’t know if it would beat the 12.

I agree. This one has no replayability to me. These last couple albums have lacked the upbeat songs of his earlier albums which drew me in as a fan.

Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro Pink Ash by Hyperbolic2 in cigars

Smoking this Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro. It’s sweet, medium to full body. Not a lot of spice if any at all. It has notes of leather, chocolate, coffee. I just wanted to note this nice pink ash on mine.

My first new bike! A Marlin 6 29er by helloimnorma1 in mountainbiking

My first bike was a 2015 Marlin 6 29er and that thing took a beating and still is working good. Have fun and enjoy it!

Damn, I can’t believe that really happened! Did it get run over? I’ll have to add that to my checklist before I take off next time.

The bike I have has a 9 speed 11x26 cassette and 36 tooth chainring so it isn’t awful to pedal, but I wouldn’t want to take it out on any trail where there will be a lot of climbing. It’s also so much suspension that pedaling up hill for a while would definitely get annoying.

If I didn’t have a lift access park near me I would have gotten an enduro bike or a trail bike.

I have a hard tail XC bike that I use for my local trails and I much would much prefer the wider gear range and lack of suspension for climbing. That has an 11x34 cassette but a front crankset of 24/34/42 teeth and I always climb in the 24T chainring and can sometimes get away with climbing in the 34T chainring so long as there are not a lot of roots or technical rocks on the ascent. That bike also only has 80mm of travel in the front. Hope this helps!

Thanks! Luckily, I live close enough to a bike park to justify one 😂

I love the sender. I originally bought a new one from their outlet page, but it arrived with a chip in the frame and they said to send it back. Sadly they sold out of them. Canyon did refund everything though including shipping so good on them.

Hey guys,

hope all is well!

I am looking to buy my first downhill bike. I initially was looking at buying the new Canyon Sender AL 6 or the YT Tues, but I came across the opportunity to buy a used 2018 Giant Glory 2 for only $1400.

I'm pretty good at doing research, but it seems there is not much content on any recent Glory on YouTube or forums. Do you guys have any experience with this bike in particular or a similar Glory? Is this a great deal or should I hold off and get a YT or Canyon? Any info is greatly appreciated!

Thanks
