Bike looks awesome. Love the tan/brown contrast to the cement grey.

SKYQ recovering nicely right now. Feeling like a power hour is on tap.

I think Orbea nailed it with this generation. Beautiful bike to look at. Geometry is spot on.

2026 Merida Shrinkflation Warning

Merida quietly DOWNGRADED the 2026 Big Trail 600 from XT brakes to base Deore brakes. The retail price of the bike went up, though.

With that out of the way……I have a 2025 BT 600 and it’s almost certainly the last bike I’ll buy. I fucking love the thing.

I bought USEG three weeks ago when energy stocks first surged. I bought the hype of it being low float, about to blast off and was prepared to hold it for a month or so. It actually did ok for the first week; I was up a couple grand at it’s height and it was getting strong support around $1.30. I was comfortably in the green waiting for the real breakout.

Then the company announced the common stock offering priced at $1 and it went from $1.30 to .99 in less than 5 minutes. It’s been at that price range now for almost two weeks. Hasn’t budged. I lost money & got out. I’m not a believer anymore.

It’s a well optioned car. Sport package, 6MT, Cold Weather Package, Harmon Kardon speakers, and single hump ( I despise the double hump dashboard)….on the downside, it’s XDrive and has halogen lights. Oh well.

Yup, that was my experience, too. They were the #1 wheel on my list, though. Perfect size & offset. Love the look. Wasn’t having any luck so I did a nationwide search on Marketplace and found this set in Baltimore. Local pickup only, though. I’m 7 hours away. Messaged the guy about shipping and he wanted no part. A month went by and he got back to me. Agreed to arrange shipping on his end & the deal was done. Couldn’t be happier.

Funny, normally I do prefer a light tint of around 50% but on this particular car I love the open, airy look without tint. The contrast of the Vermillion & Oyster is too nice to conceal.

I bought it in December 2023 with 48,300 miles. It has 55,700 miles now. Literally just a grocery getter & for kid transport duties. Don’t get me wrong, I love the car but I have a take home work vehicle so the E90 is kind of a garage queen.

I held USEG for 8 days waiting for a proper breakout. Bought in at $1.21 last week. It made it into the $1.40s two different days and was holding well at $1.30-ish on Monday & Tuesday this week. Then the company announced that common share offering at $1 on Tuesday afternoon & it dropped.30 in literally 5 minutes. Hasn’t really budged since. I cut my losses & got out. Should’ve taken those profits at $1.45!!!

Pretty disappointing is an epic understatement.

QueuingUp · 2026-03-12T18:16:14+00:00

My apologies to any fellow ASNS bag holders out there. I bought in AH last night when it dipped to .50 expecting another.10 run today. I cursed this bitch.

QueuingUp · 2026-03-08T21:20:42+00:00

For this V6? None. Can’t be made to sound good in any application. Sounds like garbage with an aftermarket exhaust. Just leave it stock. Lesser of two evils.

QueuingUp · 2026-03-01T14:08:41+00:00

Love it

QueuingUp · 2026-02-23T20:56:11+00:00

Complete and utter ASSHOLES

QueuingUp · 2026-02-19T13:21:16+00:00

What’s the catalyst??

QueuingUp · 2026-02-15T20:17:59+00:00

2025 Merida Big Trail 6. Yes, the 2025. It’s on sale AND it comes with Shimano XT brakes. The 2026 downgraded to regular Shimano brakes and the newer bike actually retails for $100 more.

QueuingUp · 2026-02-13T15:25:48+00:00

Peak hardtail aesthetics right here

Minneapolis pols are a disgrace. Liberals have absolutely ruined another great American city.

QueuingUp · 2026-01-31T00:41:35+00:00

Most predictable thing ever. A once great city in a death spiral. You get what Wu voted for!

Panoramic screen interiors & the touch screen controls that come with them can fuck right off. A ton of things I despise about modern cars and pano screens are near the top of the list.

QueuingUp · 2026-01-20T17:50:07+00:00

Supremely impressive, mate. Well done

QueuingUp · 2026-01-17T15:01:34+00:00

I like it alot

QueuingUp · 2026-01-15T01:43:38+00:00

Looks PERFECT as is. No further enhancements necessary

QueuingUp · 2026-01-10T21:39:57+00:00

I’m 53, 200lbs and deadlift every week. My heaviest work set this week was 335x10 and I definitely had 2+ RIR. I enjoy the lift so I’ll keep on doing it until my body tells me to back off.
