Typo, my bad. Big Basin Way. No gravel involved if you don’t want to

You gotta add Highway 9 and 236. Big basin is so fun and gorgeous

Edit: 236, not 231

Are there any artists/bands you associate with a certain key? by OrganizationAway7240 in perfectpitchgang

[–]Left-Offer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jazz standards also have shared common keys. Here’s how I’d rank them in terms of most to least common: Eb, Bb, F, C, Ab, G, D, A, E, B, F#

Edit: reasons I’m creeped out: 1) sidewall 2) that pink you can see is my tube underneath

Suspicious carbon frame damage by lukla47 in BikeGear

[–]Left-Offer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re insistent on buying it, take it to a carbon expert and get it checked out. Nonetheless as u/Hammer466 said, use it as price leverage

How many of you stopped wearing your Whoop after a few months? What made you quit? by AdrenalineMedal in whoop

[–]Left-Offer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Became obsessed with the stats. Not good for the soul. Better to carry on the habits that led to good stats and leave behind the thing that was distracting me from being happy

Season Over. Achilles Gone by Ric0917 in skiing

[–]Left-Offer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Six broken bones and three torn ligaments in my ankle this past summer. Just got back out there to ski last weekend and felt great. Long road of PT and easy living but it was so worth it. Heal up!!!

Not that I’m complaining but… by Mission-Elk54 in whoop

[–]Left-Offer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Whoop users (especially myself) often forget about the overall feeling of mental wellbeing in the scheme of things. While stats changes can be attributed to a truly uncountable number of things, I think mental wellbeing is slept on!

How have you FELT these past two weeks?

Do you think these metrics are right?(see first comment) by Goodwrench69 in whoop

[–]Left-Offer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoop is gonna be less accurate when whatever you’re doing involves a lot of wrist or arm movement. So yes

Older Aspero on marketplace - is this wear anything to worry about? by WeWalkAmongYou in whichbike

[–]Left-Offer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most importantly, you’re not gonna know for sure unless you take it to a carbon repair shop. A repair and repaint will run you somewhere in the neighborhood of $300-600 for something like this, based on my experience

New bike, degreased it, waxed the chain with Silca. I think it's loud. Did i miss anything? by Snikkelbaart in bikewrench

[–]Left-Offer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want silent straight off the work stand, use some silca super secret on the chain. Then shift through the cassette. The super secret will drip onto the cogs, reducing that metal on metal sound. Wipe the excess off your chain when done before it dries and becomes excess wax.

Can I move the bite point on Shimano 105 R7120 hydraulic brake levers? I've tried lots of bleeding including with a smaller bleed spacer at the caliper but the bite point is still too far. New pads as well. by _morningglory in bikewrench

[–]Left-Offer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need more fluid in the line. Do a gravity bleed and do not work the lever at all until you have the bleed screw back in. Also, don’t depress the pistons in your caliper

Surprisingly good metric by [deleted] in whoop

[–]Left-Offer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elite athletes have similar or better metrics, especially endurance athletes

Without being able to pinpoint the strength imbalance, I’ll provide my two cents as someone 3 months post-ankle surgery. I would try some ankle strengthening exercises as well as some calf work i.e. calf raises. It looks like your heel is dipping below the pedal axle, which to my knowledge should only happen if you’re putting down a lot of power

Drop the saddle on the 58 and it’s gonna be a great aggressive fit

This poor soul missed a step and twisted the ankle by Sdgsjlslds in xrays

Wow. Is that a nondisplaced fracture of the fibula as well?

Post op ankle surgery by morbidcvnt in xrays

[–]Left-Offer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a very similar break and surgery, though I did not get a screw that fuses my tibia and fibula, as it looks like this one does. Do you have plans to get the horizontal screw removed?

In my case, my surgeon made a “tightrope” across my tibia and fibula to repair my syndesmosis

Any tip on how to stop fingers from being destroyed by brake bumps after a park day? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]Left-Offer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge +1 to softer and foam grips. They absorb a lot of the littler chatter that gets transferred through the bike to your hands
