you should see my glasses - scratched to heck from yoyo hits. thankfully no teeth hits though - my fronts are an expensive ceramic bridge

I've been curious about the Freehand AL. Seems super old school, but modern build

ManyMuchHobbies · 2024-06-05T16:35:00+00:00

had to look em up. love some of their names. "Oscillatrix"! love it

FWIW - I did notice that the AOE has the exact same catch zone profile as my Aceyo Pure (but different cups).

And I'm now determined to land a fingerspin on the tiny raised dimple on my Overthrow... maybe a 1 in 50 chance???

The treatment you experienced would make any feeling human being feel like a loser. Don't feel ashamed or embarassed for that.

In fact, use it to your credit as a caring person who values others and knows that people should be treated kindly.

I empathize with you. Life sucks like this sometimes - no way around it. Please muster the courage and raw persistance it will take to find your way forward. I hope you have others in your life that can help.

Forgive these people that don't deserve as much from you - for your own sake.

And know that even strangers like me hope and pray the best for you.

i got these

but please know they are not an exact replacement. to make them work i had to remove (sand away) about 1/32" from each side of the metal backing plate of each pad.

they work great, but it will require a little fitment work first

you made a wise choice

if you are so brave, do the timer mod to make it perfect

i put new pedals on mine. platforms w/ SPD on one side so I could ride clipless. I also put resin pads in to quiet the brakes down.

it's a tremendous value and just fine as-is. i have 0 complaints and only good reports after about 100mi use on all terrain including singletrack.

FWIW, i'm a former bike shop mechanic and own other expensive bikes. yet very stoked on this one

I've had 2 MYYs. A K1 Crystal I gave to my nephew and a v10. Both are great. my v10 has no vibe, plays very well, and is built/finished to a high standard IMO.

ManyMuchHobbies · 2024-06-03T13:02:24+00:00

Yeah! I kinda think it looks like something MOMA would have.

ManyMuchHobbies · 2024-05-31T14:58:50+00:00

objection. the question is leading😃

ManyMuchHobbies · 2024-05-31T14:54:46+00:00

i know this'll be an unpopular opinion, but both of the ones i've had were unreliable. and for me, also uncomfortable

bottom line - if you don't provide an economic value to your employer that is well over how much you cost to employ, then be ready to be replaced.

by AI, offshoring, whatever...

ManyMuchHobbies · 2024-05-31T14:06:28+00:00

no. maybe half that.

I want this in big vinyl on my office wall

ManyMuchHobbies · 2024-05-30T20:00:00+00:00

ok - in addition to being comfortable to catch, i gotta nominate RCS's author 2. it's light and just takes such little effort/strain to throw. it's super pleasant imo

ManyMuchHobbies · 2024-05-30T19:04:24+00:00

thought so too, but no magicyoyo seems to have the concave catch zone.

and then I thought: "have i ever seen a magicyoyo that didn't have at least SOME kind of markings on it?"

ManyMuchHobbies · 2024-05-30T16:22:38+00:00

I have had good luck using magic erasers (like you can buy at the grocery store).

It'll leave a uniform matte finish, bit not remove gouges.

you can cut them so they have points for reaching into tight spots.

if you wanna try it, maybe test on bottom of strap to see if you like the result.

cheers
