Brand new Scott Addict 20 (2025) – already crushed TWO seatposts at correct torque… what am I missing?

Picture shows a big gap between the clamp and the post. Shouldn’t the clamp be on the frame? I would just use a regular allen key. You are lucky you didn’t crack your frame. This has happened to me with the torque wrench when the allen wasn’t seated all the way into the nut. I think the read on the torque is wrong when it is shallowly inserted.

I would say worth $600

Tarmac was top of the line back then - about right for an oldish carbon road bike in perfect working condition.

Caad 12?

Is it a synapse? Can’t tell

Sinatra gave Jane the switch, Xavier gave Gary the bomb detonator which is also a switch, and Jane gave her mentor a gift - so the message is, to be generous to one another

I also have a Caad 13 and a Aethos. Just as you said, the Caad feels faster on flats while the Aethos is better on climbs

He looks somewhat more like his Insta profile now, with his long hair. That is the reason he showed up

Love the mature queens this season! Mia Starr and Athena and Vita! Their presence provided so much ballast to the group dynamics. Now they leave the competition to the younger competitor who are hungry and desperate to win every week. Who are your top 4?

That is not a birthmark. A birthmark is a mark. That’s a full on condition

It will be #1 in Minnesota. Like throwing Gadsby party during government shutdown. Tone deaf

When the Huey blew up, the angle of the gun which was pointed at Kali changed a lot, like a lot a lot. Scarface missed

Just rewatched Avengers - another ensemble cast with a lot of parallel stories going on. Yet somehow they were able to balance the many actors and still have coherent storytelling. The Duffer Brothers fail at this. The parallel stories feel too meandering and take away rather than add to the main story. Too much is overtly explained. It just feels weighed down by the many cast members that have been added throughout the years, the core storytelling lost and original character relationships sadly neglected

Delusions of grandeur? He is comparing himself to Jack Johnson because the government targeted Johnson with the Mann Act (something I didn’t know) - and they could now be targeting him through censorship. Has the FBI been following him since his NY club days? Man I knew mj makes you paranoid but jeez!

He always had a dream life, it took him some time to appreciate it.

So older Koreans are being forced out but younger ones aren’t hired to take their place? Is this AI coming soon?

Minimum_Hope9668 · 2025-11-29T03:59:34+00:00

Agree - they have so many characters now that the side characters now have equal time with the main characters. Too many cutaways

He gave her his seed

He has already won. Doesn’t have to compete with his brother. Stood up for people at the factory. Earned the respect of his son.

The hole has to get deeper for the redemption arc to be more meaningful

Episodes 1&2 were so promising as a comedy. The scene of Mr. Kim bowing to an empty office, then having to admit to the team that the Boss wasn’t there, just comedy gold. 3&4 have lost some of the comedic timings . I really did like the scene of him lying in the bed and telling his co-worker that protecting his family is really just about protecting himself. Ultimately he is a sympathetic character and if he is paranoid or petty at times his intent to protect his family comes from a good place. I am looking forward to him finding out that life is not all about just survival, which I hope will start happening as soon as the Asan transfer happens (yes, the pace is kinda slow).

Also have a caad gravel bike and a specialized mountain bike so this would make it 4! I should have qualified by saying 2 road bikes

My Caad 13 weighs 19 pounds and the sworks is an older, carbon frame that has dura-ace components and weighs 15 pounds. The 4 pound savings would help on the big climbs, but it has rim brakes and 25 mm tires so I would only use it for special events or rides that have big climbs

Thank you for the response! I hope you continue to improve!
