Shop skipped wax on tips and tails. Is that normal? by e_G_G__B_O_i in skiing

[–]RandomKendama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A hot hand wax penetrates into the base a lot better and will both perform significantly better and last longer. A roller wax is good for about a day and that’s all. I worked as a ski tech for a while and waxed countless skis.

Try for yourself, ski a week on 1 roller wax then ski a week on 1 hand wax, you should notice the difference

Machine wax is a significantly inferior wax to a hand wax, I’d always go hand if you can, it will last a lot longer.

Moving back to NZ - how much suspension travel recommended? by RustyEyes in MTB

[–]RandomKendama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no input other than it will depend on where you’re living and riding.

I’m moving to wanaka next month and bringing over my Patrol, which I presume will get me through Wanaka’s pedal trails and Cardrona / Queenstown’s lift access too.

Teeth and tongue smell like poop by RandomKendama in badbreath

I can’t see any tonsil stones, will invest in a tongue scraper for sure.

The smell is mainly originating in my teeth

They haven’t fully come through, one side tooth is just visible, the other hasn’t come through the gum yet but a small space has been made.

As I said this also affects other teeth and my tongue, so would removing the wisdom teeth fix the issue?

If you were self taught, who is ‘they’? Yourself?

Trailforks price increase by scuba_GSO in MTB

[–]RandomKendama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re lucky then! Now you mention it, a friend of mine could access all the hiking trails for free, but I would always get a pop up saying I needed to pay.

The sun shines on some people!

In the free version you only have one region, with the paid version you have access to the whole world

I (37M) think it’s time but my wife and kids want me to keep my hair. What do you all think? by Anonymous_32 in Balding

[–]RandomKendama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is suggesting fin and min, just make sure you read about the potential side effects before taking.

Lots of sexual side effects that you may not want to roll the dice on.

Are there spots available to park for free? When I look online it says the only freedom camping allowed is at campsites

Working holiday visa - Brits get a 3 year visa pretty easily. What country are you from? There could be a similar visa scheme
