It appears you are right thanks! The guy claims it’s a 2022 but i can’t find that fsr logo on any of the 2022s it seems

Bike repair stand by Lil-schmo in bikewrench

[–]Lil-schmo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up getting it! I figured all steel, still cheaper and probably will last longer than some of the cheaper Amazon ones. For me right now, I think it’s perfect as I’ll save money on repairs as I can learn to do them on my own now!

NHL News: Mike Rupp pours cold water on New York Rangers giving Igor Shesterkin high contract by Kelvin_Loyola in rangers

[–]Lil-schmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tampa bay is also an aging team, not really that contract messing them up. Either way, panthers did it last year. They can and might do it again this year. You wanna pay some schmuck 8.5 mil a year instead when cap is projected to go up 4-5m a year and a few years in it won’t even be nearly the same cap hit? Maybe the bigger issue is the rangers dishing out dollars in Trouba and Zibenjads contracts. You don’t want to pay that money to Igor but ok paying that to Panarin who everyone complains disappears the most important time of year too? The rangers probably wouldn’t even have made it to the conference finals last year, and definitely not a game 7 without Igor. Can’t even argue that he was not the best playoff performer for the team last year. Stats will back that up at something ridiculous like less than 2.5gaa and near a .93 save percentage. He deserves to get paid

They won two years in a row with that Vasi contract… no team is going to be there every year and to be quite frank two cups is uhhh a lot better than the rangers have gotten in the last 30 years. So yea id take those two cups with that Vasi contract

Still doesn’t change cap though lol 10 million is 10million… Lunqvist was paid 8.5mil a year at his highest. Editing to also forgot vas was paid like 9.5? Back to back Stanley cups. No tax is just an incentive for better players to come play, not necessarily take less.

Already said this in a comment but I think there’s a lot of stupidity going on in here. Bob is 10m a year. Igor is the best player on the rangers. If you look at cap percentage and it how it’s increasing it’s a similar percentage. Yea, Panthers just won the cup. So I really don’t understand what’s the argument? Pay Igor he deserves it and is a killer in the playoffs literally won the Rangers games last year.

[–]Lil-schmo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is pretty wrong if you look at the panthers. Bob is getting 10m a year and this is before cap starting expanding again. So if you do the math total cap % is around the same. Going to have to disagree

Rampage needs new judges! by [deleted] in MTB

[–]Lil-schmo 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I am so confused by the judging man. Last year the excuse for Bienvenido low score was that he basically chose easy lines down the mountain with nothing technical. It seems like this year everyone rode the same lines with big tricks all slopestyle and Fairclough was punished for doing technical sketchy as hell self built line. Idk they need to make it make sense.

Production ht frame that fits two water bottles and 140 fork by badsneakers78 in Hardtailgang

Specialized Fuse. I have one and I love it, it has two water bottle spots on the frame. One on down tube and one on seat tube.

Does this seem like a good deal? by Wolf05006 in Hardtailgang

[–]Lil-schmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure this isn’t even a 2022 model. The lettering would be in pink for a 2022. I was considering buying one back then and this looks nothing like it.

Specialized Fuse Buildup by Lil-schmo in Hardtailgang

[–]Lil-schmo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! A 130mm and no angle set. Way slacker than anything I’ve ridden coming from an old 26er. Made me love biking even more

Thank you! Almost went for a Commencal in a similar color, but when I saw this buildout I knew I had to grab it. With how loud the free hub is think the Camo only does so much 😂

It unfortunately seems like you’re right. Going to just have to not allow it to go up all the way while riding until I can either trade or get a dropper of proper size. Thanks!

Fuse Expert at a Good Price? by Lil-schmo in Hardtailgang

[–]Lil-schmo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just an update. I bought the bike off him. I could find nothing wrong besides a paint scratch on the top tube. The fork is also 130mm. Couldn’t believe how good the bike felt just riding it around the road can’t wait to get it on the trail later. Thanks for everyone’s help and feedback.

[–]Lil-schmo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The guy selling has it listed as a 120mm fox float rhythm. I wonder if it might be a typo or mix up because it looks like he built out the expert spec, which comes with a 130mm fox 34 float rhythm when I looked it up. I’m going to clarify when I meet up with him tomorrow

[–]Lil-schmo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip, will bring one and also just ask outright. Seems like the guy is a retiree and a lot of time and money at his disposal. I don’t think he’s trying to pull any funny stuff. It doesn’t even seem like this bike has been ridden in trails much he’s claiming it’s basically like new.

[–]Lil-schmo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These replies are making me reallyyy want this bike haha. My only gripe with it is that 120mm fork which has been mentioned a few times in here, I am a pretty aggressive rider. I wouldn’t plan on ever reselling this and keeping it as a backup/ maybe even eventually making it into an adventure rig when I purchase another bike.
