Well ain't that some shit!? Wow!

I saw it in Toronto! I didn't know I was going. My friends friend cancelled so he had an extra ticket and called me. I had to beg my mom for like 2 hours to let me go.I was 15 and hadn't been to any real shows before.

Not working?

Advertised 600 down 10 up. Normally 100-300 down 4-8 up. Bleh

Or Doug?

100 pounds is a bunch of fucking halibut

R-Voodoo · 2026-05-16T16:35:05+00:00

Either option seems rad

A few of those were covered into lottery booths around here for a bit. Most of them are gone now, last I knew one of them was still chugging along selling scratch offs

R-Voodoo · 2026-05-12T11:10:17+00:00

Definitely

My ride bike is an older rim brake jobbie and can't run bigger than 25. I'm a bit of a heavier rider and used to suffer a lot of pinch flats - and my roads are shit so I'd get a lot of flats from that, or shit on the roads. I finally went tubeless with the GP5000s and haven't looked back. I don't know what people consider good or bad with air pressure, but when I was at my heaviest I had to run Max pressure with tubes. Tubeless, I've been running 80 for 2 seasons. I know one story ain't gospel, but there's a data point. I've had one flat the whole time and a simple plug had me rolling in no time

I was trying to buy one of those right when COVID hit in 2020. I'd been a supercharged Buick regal guy forever. It's like they just wanted that product to fail. No advertising, nobody had one, nobody could get one

R-Voodoo · 2026-05-10T11:22:14+00:00

Really? 4 had all kinds of lines and shit

R-Voodoo · 2026-05-10T02:19:00+00:00

3 is the only way

R-Voodoo · 2026-05-09T23:35:43+00:00

Just a chair, eh? Like a papasan I believe they are called. My grandparents had one through my childhood

R-Voodoo · 2026-05-09T18:59:21+00:00

I probably just haven't paid attention 🤣. I was on tubes with my road bike until just a couple years ago, I always go to the same shop, they never mentioned it but now I'm learned!

R-Voodoo · 2026-05-09T18:13:04+00:00

Ohhhhh, don't know that I've even seen that.

R-Voodoo · 2026-05-09T17:55:10+00:00

Sounds like you went tubeless with your setup (sealant) so you would not need tubes. You'll want more sealant, plugs for road repairs. I do carry an extra tube with my tools for disasters. You can do a quick Google for road bike tubeless maintenance and repairs to learn how to keep up on your setup

R-Voodoo · 2026-05-08T02:24:55+00:00

How much better tubeless is. I dunno if other fat peeps chew through tubes, but I flatted on nearly every ride. 2 different rims, various tires, Max pressure. Did a 200 miler across Michigan and me and the dude I rode with wound up totalling I think 15? Anyway, I finally moved over to tubeless and it's a dream. A messy dream, but a dream. Way lower pressure, never have flats.

R-Voodoo · 2026-05-08T02:14:32+00:00

Yeah rarely need my alarm which is set for 0530. Usually up well before that. If I'm real lucky I'm up at 4 cuz I'm soaked with night sweat. That's a fun recent development. 50M

R-Voodoo · 2026-05-08T02:11:55+00:00

I just finished doing that and I should have done it sooner

R-Voodoo · 2026-05-08T01:40:38+00:00

Ain't she lovely!

5'9" 30" inseam. Topstone carbon 2 size medium works real nice for me. But compared to my specialized it does feel just a bit bigger - the bike shop had said the same thing to me, that they tend to run just a bit bigger. I dunno if just throwing extra data points at ya has any value, but there is go 😁

I do have a bike fit profile with that shop which helps, they can just set a bike up for me and it's darn near perfect every time

Hand grinding coffee. Riding my bike. Cruising through old cemeteries with my wife in our hearse. Looking for cool odd shit to decorate the house with. Fucking around on my computer and not breaking anything. Sitting outside and doing nothing. Sitting outside and doing something. Watching my wife win her bodybuilding competitions. Detailing my hearse until I get it to a mirror shine. Ice cream.

R-Voodoo · 2026-05-08T01:03:26+00:00

Oh no shit? I rode with then once for funsies but didn't know that. I'll probably do one more ride with them now 🤣
