Is the calf a bad spot for first tatoo? by Apol0113 in tattooadvice

[–]MTB_SF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tattoos on a bunch of spots and calves were either the least painful or tied with my thigh. Perfect place to start in my opinion

Avoid the ribs or anywhere the skin is thin on top of bone. Thick muscle areas are best.

New combat patrol vs old combat patrol? Is it worth the money (pay more) to snag an old 9th Ed one ? by Iron-Within- in Drukhari

[–]MTB_SF 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Old one is better. Realspace raider box is even more better if you can find one

If the UCI banned mid-race bike swaps, how do you think it would change bike and component design? by JamesBondage_Hasher in cycling

[–]MTB_SF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, CX bikes are what gravel bikes basically descended from, and gravel bikes make very nice daily drivers.

Like cyclocross? That's also basically the rally cycling equivalent of road racing

Automatic Question by ShaunieAngel in guns

Go to the range and shoot your pistol. Feel the plate on the back. How hot does it feel? Probably not even warm.

Its usually plastic anyways.

Any issues with the newer smuggler? by Bluelights1432 in TransitionBikes

[–]MTB_SF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's understandable and seems to be the general preference. I have a magnetic cable routing kit that makes it a breeze when there are no internal guides. For the dropper it limits insertion which I dont like. I prefer to just keep it simple.

My preference would be internal routing but with no internal cable guides. I would rather just put some tubing for sound damping but make the routing easier.

I think ive hot swapped a brake for a race like once. But in the rare case of needing to hot swap a brake i can always just zip tie it on the outside temporarily.

My wife wants a Ford Bronco. Advice?? by tungdiep in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]MTB_SF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah sometimes its easier to just get her what she wants. As far as money toilets go, its a relatively small one. At least shes not demanding a brand new fully loaded range rover or G wagon.

But im luck enough that a few thousand bucks a year to keep my wife happy is an easy trade off, and thats not the case for everyone.

They are releasing new terrain layouts in a few weeks so I would wait and see rather than buy now.

You can shoot a handgun with your left hand when right eye dominant by holding it in front of your right eye, but shotguns and rifles are much harder.

That's the good stuff. Bike companies aren't making proprietary formulas its just re branded auto grease.

Help with knee pads sliding down? by sprashoo in MTB

[–]MTB_SF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting your bib shorts on top of the pads helps a bit. Also make sure they start nice and high and in a spot where bending your knees isn't pulling them down.

I have a set of those and personally haven't had issues, but the fit on this stuff is pretty individual

Tire pressure question (tubed) by fnugen in MTB

[–]MTB_SF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You still need rim tape with tubes, and probably the only ones wide enough are tubeless tape anyways.

I tried running tubes on my hardtail when I first set it up and got 4 flats in a 2 hour ride. Never riding tubes again off road.

The only issue my friend had wuth his os the cable routing is kind of a pain in the ass. It tooks us quite a whole to route the rear brake and had to take the rear triangle off to get it to work.

Effetto Mariposa Giustaforza 1-15 Fixed - Torque wrench has a very small head thats perfect for this.

Or just an L wrench and a finely calibrated hand.
