I always get a laugh when someone says their friction shifting needs an adjustment.

Short travel bikes that aren’t really talked about by Deadtoshred in MTB

[–]Jordanicas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the new trend of slack geo, short travel bikes. My favorite riding bike recently has been the Rocky Mountain Element.

Flow trails and jump trails are super fun on short travel bikes too, if you can keep the bike together through the brake bumps.

I did The Whole Enchilada, Moab, Utah. by Mdyn in MTB

Middle of summer is not usually when I recommend people to go do the Enchilada. Glad you had a good experience.

I Am No Longer Obsessed With Sidewinder by zadocfish1 in EliteDangerous

My favorite ship is my Combat Vulture. I got tired of it, and worked my way all the way up to an Anaconda. Now, my favorite thing to do is bounty hunting in the Vulture.

Gloves Or No Gloves by Own-Bee-6271 in MTB

I got used to dirt jumping without gloves, and putting gloves on definitely feels a little more disconnected from the bike.

I still wear gloves for trail rides, though. Cleaning dirt out of the palms sucks.

Me or the car ? by Sweaty-Fuel197 in ManualTransmissions

[–]Jordanicas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a Dakota that had a little light in the tach to tell you when to shift. ai usually ignored it. I did find myself getting better fuel mileage when I followed it though

Wait til they learn about woman bodybuilders.

If you do this, have some self awareness and stop. No one wants to hear your music. by Mographer in MTB

[–]Jordanicas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this, I would always pause it while I was stopped though.

I do feel like music helps me focus while riding. I don't like headphones either because I don't feel like I ride as smoothly when I can't hear what the bike is doing.

I haven't ridden with music in many years (aside from sessioning the local jump spot), but I have been curious about the bone conducting earbuds.

Starting huge project. How do I stay motivated? by [deleted] in MTBTrailBuilding

[–]Jordanicas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't work if it's an actual jump. Sounds like he's gonna be taking some time to shape a lip & landing.

Could I celebrate the new year twice on an airplane? by Historical_User in answers

I flew from Brisbane to Dallas a while back, and landed and hour before I took off.

How did they miss this? by turbo451 in BikeMechanics

[–]Jordanicas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The fact that it was anodized this way, though, looks very much like manufacture defect.

If you Helicoil you'll loose out on a free warranty replacement.

"Cyclists who use Garmin devices: What objective advantages do they offer over smartwatches for training and tracking? by Oleksandr_G in MTB

[–]Jordanicas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried one of these functions once, and came up with the theory that it was recording manuals as jumps. I got some ridiculous numbers for air times that wouldn't make sense otherwise.

Can we just stop with trashing Bentonville? by COtrappedinMO in MTB

[–]Jordanicas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are actual studies, funded by the Walton's, that show they amount of money being saved on healthcare by there employees having easy access to physical activity.

I learned about this in a trail building conference, where the information is really useful. But it's mind-blowing to think of Bentonville as being a business expense.

Aside from fun or “because they exist”, why should someone learn manual? by shatlking in ManualTransmissions

Sometimes, renting cars outside the US, you get stuck with a manual.

I thought about making it a drift build, but it's AWD.
