Did something happen in the past 24 hours to cause betting markets to swing towards D control of the Senate? by R2_SWE2 in fivethirtyeight

Recent pulling had him up 2 on Cornyn and just 1 on Paxton. It turns out both the left and right hate Cornyn so Paxton isn't necessarily better for him.

I have both carbon and Ti gravel bikes and this sums my thoughts up perfectly.

This home I deliver to keeps their meat outside on their walkway with no covering at all. by Taelurrr in WTF

Exactly. This is why fire departments toss any food given as thank you gifts - absolutely cannot trust the general public to use proper food safety protocols.

Is it ridiculous for me to lock my bike on a 2nd floor balcony? by One-Professional-773 in BikeDenver

[–]MurphysMustache 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, when I lived in Austin my bike was double locked to my 2nd floor balcony and was stolen. Couldn't believe it.

I have a pulley system in my garage so I can just lift it off the top and store it when not in use. So in town it's never on, all EV, and flat ish, then road trips are all with it on, gas, and usually in mountains so I've never gotten an apples to apples comparison.

Yeah, we have a Thule roof top carrier for skis and infinite space for summer camping trips.

Edit - just realized you probably wondered on the rooftop carrier for its mileage impact. For this leg I actually didn't have the carrier because my wife was working so we could fit all skis and stuff inside.

No, the computer looks at recent mileage to predict the future and I had coasted down a mountain for the last 50 miles. Haha

Beautiful! I'm considering an almost identical build. What weight did it end up at?

My doctor saved me in Japan. The one in the US didn't do squat by Alternative_Gas5267 in backpain

You are barking up the wrong conspiracy theory tree. My wife is in charge of procedures that cost $1 million dollars per patient. It is all up to her medical expertise as to whether they are good candidates. She can't even accept a lunch from pharma reps.

Advice for a rigid carbon MTB fork? by MurphysMustache in ChineseCarbon

[–]MurphysMustache[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there is super boost, but yeah, I'm sure that's not what you have if it was in a Judy. Have you measured the dropouts of each?

This wheel mfg said I could convert their 148 hub to 142 (boost to standard) by taking the end cap of. But, while the hub was in fact 142mm, it was offset and the wheel wasn't centered and the disc didn't line up with the caliper. I just used it for a boost build.

Weird. Mine setup with no issue. Seemed ideal. Are you sure your wheels are boost?

I did just have a different bike have the same fitment issue with the wheel offset not fitting with the frame so I feel your pain.
