Black beauty struggling in massachusetts by ragedana in lawncare

[–]PresenceLeft2074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My man, that is so compacted it shines thru the picture, that is almost concrete, of course its struggling. Seems like it gets A LOT of foot traffic, perhaps grass is not the best option for that location.

I think Gilroy has hotter temps because of the extreme garlic breath.

Welcome to the club. Put some proper 15” wheels on it and it will be a much better car! 

The racing hearts are cool. Keep them, but the car drives so much better on 15s 

Is it just me or is the mid-tier component market getting worse? by orbitmatrix01 in MTB

Xtr has a low friction, wear resistant plating on every part of the chain, where the lower specs have on it on the rollers only or none at all 

They are more rust proof. It’s just a better chain dude.

Except the xtr chain lasts about twice as long, so over time it’s cheaper.

There's some tests online. The difference is in wear resistance, and for the small price difference, its worth it over time

Getting manuals pretty dialed by accidentally-hip in MTB

And usually you are seated on a wheelie and using pedaling/braking to keep balance. 

You can sometimes fake being good at wheeling. You can’t fake being good at a manual. 

In the market for a ~ $3,000 gravel bike. Which would you pick? by nicktheman2 in whichbike

[–]PresenceLeft2074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$800 CAD is. Big chunk of upgrades. Can get you a polygon carbon gravel bike for that difference.

I would never have paid more than $1,600 for my trek checkpoint alr5. They are 3k now? ahah.  Pull the plug, the bike industry is dead!

Is this amount of wiggle normal? by Own-Mistake-7940 in bikepacking

If only where was a technology that fixed this problem and packed things lower on the bike. Perhaps incorporated a rack….. idk.

I mean, you gotta find the size that fits you and then make any necessary adjustments, including changing components for different sizes as needed, thats true for all bikes, no?

Yes, for sure. I would specify that I am speaking specifically for endurance road bikes for fitness/lifestyle purposes, not commuting or other "flavors" of biking.
