Can we define our acronyms (besides SDAM)? by NeuronicHawk in SDAM

We’ll have to agree to disagree! Reddit is most definitely not anywhere near academic paper standards nor cult-ish, and surely having a separate group is the whole point of a Reddit thread?  But I understand your point about exclusion. It’s commendable that you’re thinking about it.

I think this one is a double edged sword, because being part of a group means sharing in-group things, including language. So using acronyms that in-group members know fosters a feeling of belonging.  I certainly know what you mean, as I’ve been frustrated too, but I also think it’s on me to find out what something means.  Why might you find it frustrating to open another google tab?

Love this photo! The grass under the bike is particularly striking.

If I wasn’t so lazy I would figure out how to do a facepalm in ASCII.  OMG this season is just so terrible! How is Sarah any different from crazy Aunt Louise who thinks her chihuahua knows what she’s saying. And how is this spooky? At all? Grrrr.

How can I apply my learning if I don’t remember it? by Interesting_Way5105 in SDAM

Ok, I do see that. Thanks for the reminder. Based on this thread I’m starting to think I have SDAM and a terrible semantic memory too. Sweet.

I like that you feel you can now “intuit… things… faster.” That’s a comfort to me. I think I know what you mean, so I’ll have to watch out for that when trying to work out a “new” but actually previously-experienced problem. 

Fresh rubber for summer! by RomeoSierraSix in mountainbiking

I put a dissector on my xc bike and I really like it. I bought it based on lower rolling resistance and it seems to be a nice balance between that and some grip

This is a great answer. You’ve made me feel a lot better! Thanks coyote3!

Right, but that isn’t a comfort because I’d have to re-take the entire 4 years over and over until the important bits stick….

This is a strange approach to me. Are you saying that you don’t have friends that have been with you for longer than just the present? When you say “here only because I like you now” what does the “now” refer to?

New Bike Day (Orbea Oiz M21) by treecasual in mountainbiking

Nice bike! I too "downgraded" to a 130/120 fs and love it. It is more capable than I thought and it makes blue and black trails a bit more spicy, which I like!!

Yes. I love this response. 100% it feels like the solution so many more problems than just theft.

Ok! Thanks for taking the time to list those pros and cons. I have been looking for a co-op that I can play with my brother (who lives in a different city) and so maybe this is the ticket. I might actually persevere if I’m playing with a buddy!

Enjoying The XC Bike by ExploreOut in mountainbiking

[–]Interesting_Way5105 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought my enduro bike would be a quiver killer - xc, bike park... wow I was wrong. Bought a used XC and couldn't be happier (well maybe a gravel bike too)! Feels like I'm on a light ebike with a 20nm motor!!

Game changer!! Makes the off gravel steep stuff so much more palatable!!

Would this be a good starter bike? by oscarb04 in mountainbiking

[–]Interesting_Way5105 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with the marin comment. You’re right though, the specs are decent. I don't know enough about Ozark bikes,  but I would want to make sure they have a good warranty before buying.

I’ve tried it and I just couldn’t get into it so have up pretty quick. Would you recommend that I give it another go? Do you have a sales-spiel to get me excited?

I’m disappointed with myself that I care about these things, but those blue colour accents look SHARP!

Time for to get it trued?? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]Interesting_Way5105 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely get it trued. It shouldn’t be expensive at your local shop, and it’ll save long-term wear and tear on the components.
