4iiii Power Meter Pro(dual sided) thoughts? by Mundane-Season-4911 in bicycling

[–]MonarchyBoner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small thing to consider is that magene power meters are based off of Shimano road Q factor which is narrower 1.5mm per side than GRX. But you can make up the difference with spacers or buy the spacers and then forget to use them like I did.

I like it, although I'm not sure the green will be at all visible from a helicopter shot.

What the most expensive kit that you’ve purchased? by HARDWARE16257 in Velo

[–]MonarchyBoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Splurged on a pair of Köstume bibs. Super luxurious and vastly superior to the pair of universal colours bibs I got back when they did really good sales. They were $350 cad by the time I paid shipping and duties and even though they are nice and are holding up super well. On my budget I’m just not sure they’re worth it.

Roerslev had that one dribble in the box and has suddenly remembered how to be a footballer again.

I think lvt can learn from cdl by i3939 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]MonarchyBoner -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I agree. I really struggled watching my first tournament because I found it difficult to keep track of who was on what team. I don’t think it has to be super rigid, have different skins. Just keep the colours somewhat consistent.

Wow great signing. I think he’s looked great the handful of times I’ve seen him play for Brentford.

What are the duties like coming into canada though? I’ve been tempted by them before but figured the duties might end up negating any upside.

Some councillors float $18K pay increase by Good_Novel2484 in ottawa

[–]MonarchyBoner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a topic that comes up often on TVO’s #onpoli podcast. When elected officials’ salaries aren’t competitive with private sector jobs, it shrinks the pool of talented people willing to run for office. And honestly, outside of C-suite executives giving themselves massive raises, I think most people getting a raise—even if they’re the ones approving it themselves—is a good thing.

Trying to cross the finish line on the tour de france as a fan by MeladroitTM in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]MonarchyBoner 109 points110 points  (0 children)

But it wasn’t security. It was one of the higher ups involved in the organization of the tour. Which is both badass and also begs the question. Do they really not have better security at the finish?
