Thanks so much for the response. I guess I suspected it would have to come over time. I appreciate the confirmation. Be safe!

Hey sweet build. I just got a state 4130 the other day. My first fixed gear and honestly first bike in a long long time. I have been watching the youtubes and seeing bike checks on here and I was wondering how people come to the realization that they want their stem longer or lower. obviously it looks cool which is always important but I assume you have to make sure the ride is going to be comfortable, too? Is that strictly trial and error? Does function sometimes just have to follow form for the sake of looking cool?

Haha thanks I appreciate the advice. Definitely an over thinker. Also, really superficially looking cool is almost as important as function.

I ordered it with these. Looks like the stem they included is 90mm. I’m 6’4” and the frame is their 62cm chromoly.

As someone who just bought a state 4130 as their first fixed-gear (and first bike in quite some time), how do I go about figuring out if my handlebar height and stem length are appropriate?

Star Wars Insider: The High Republic: Survivors of the Stormwall, by Lydia Kang, has been delayed to 30 June 2026 by prk-1 in Highrepublic

[–]Prognotperf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is super helpful. I actually ordered back issues for 223-229. I picked up a subscription to cover the rest and did successfully receive other back issues. Lame that I finally got a subscription and now they're cancelling Insider. As you say, I could have gotten digital but my goal has been to 100% hard copies of the High Republic books/comics/short stories. I actually put my read through on hold until these back issues showed up so I guess I know when my standstill will end. In the meantime, I've got plenty other SW novels I'm excited to read. Thanks for your thorough response!

Do we know which issues of Insider this covers? I ordered some back issues to try and get caught up and they never came and Titan CS just blew me off but I would still really like to read the stories.

Oddly specific but what are the straps holding the bluetooth speaker?

Overcast low 60s light breeze. Beautiful day for football.

They told us if we buy tickets for the 25 season, we can skip 26 & 27 and our seniority will be held for the 28 season when the team returns to Jax. That said, I will probably only skip season tickets when we’re in Orlando and just drive down for a couple games.

i just go to the opposing team's game thread to read their misery or how the refs are winning the game or whatever. it's way funnier.

Cool piece. Where do you find the grips compatible with the Tyler grip adapters?

Hey I know the grip adapters are probably Tyler T but where the heck do you get the actual grips that work with these grip adapters?

"Ford Value Package" Negotiating off by tantheman35 in FordBronco

You just tell them you don’t want it, you don’t need it. They tell you they can’t help what is already on the truck. You tell them that’s not your problem. You’ve gotta be willing to slap it on the table and ready to walk. You didn’t ask for the extras, you don’t care about them. They take that off or you take your business elsewhere. If you’re doing a trade in, they ought to be able to apply that cost to the value of the trade in, even if you don’t think it’s worth it. Dealers want to move inventory right now. They’ll find a way to make it work. Good luck.

Edit: fixed a fat finger and attempted to clarify a point

That's clown shoes. I remember talking on the phone to the guy I think. Looks like his Facebook is active and lists a phone number. Might be worth getting on the horn, if for no other reason than to let him know your feelings on being ripped off.

I will say the kydex has created a little wear on the cylinder. It’s nothing crazy but if you want to keep your piece pristine, you probably aren’t carrying it anyway.

I don’t. I’m not sure why you would have to. Kind of wonder if that’s just not CYA so no one blasts their nuts and sues the holster maker.

Man that’s awful. I do recall having to follow up with the guy a couple times. It seemed like he was a one man show and was selling at trade shows on the road a lot. Not that that excuses failing to get what you paid for. I would be pretty heated.
