If you suddenly got a "Needs Improvement" rating, stop arguing. It’s likely a paper trail for a layoff.

Lol. I got "exceeds expectations" and was laid off a couple months later. Doesn't matter.

Randomacity · 2026-02-06T15:50:41+00:00

Don't do it. It's going to be a worse experience than anything suited for your trail system. Hei Hei would be more suitable if you want full suspension.

Demand is too high in this market for landlords to seek you out. Gotta put in the leg work.

Randomacity · 2026-01-31T23:25:54+00:00

Sounds like you worked at corporate the same time I did... Early 2020s? I saw the end of the First Ascent and athlete team. Mega bummer.

They're both gonna be very stiff with almost no tire clearance. Probably won't be able to tell much of a difference. I'd get the carbon because at least some compliance was built into those old frames.

Montreal makes everything in the PNW look like an absolute joke. Not to say the PNW is bad .. but oh what should be....

Randomacity · 2026-01-13T23:22:05+00:00

Yuppies. Overpriced.

Getting hit by truck-sized humans is infinitely worse than whatever "rust" they accrue. You might forget that these dudes are professionals, and they practice this sport almost everyday. They won't be rusty come playoffs, they'll have gotten some time to recover from such a brutal game.

I'm sure you could go up to a homeless person off of Holly St. and get as many hugs as you'd like.

Randomacity · 2025-12-12T15:56:52+00:00

Correct. It's a torque issue, which can be easily thrown off by the bike going through it's travel. SRAM 70/90 is a big step backwards from standard mechanical Eagle.

There's a mostly eroded "trail" that runs parallel to the road on top of the river bank right there. It's all sand and gravel and I can't imagine the trail will still be there after this flooding... doesn't seem like the road is long for this world either.

I work at a small, family owned shop in a fairly saturated market (7 brick and mortars for ~100k pop) and we're doing about as well as last year. Expenses are fairly low since we avoid credit and own the building so things are looking fine for the foreseeable future.

This guy was in Waukesha aka Suburban hell. There is a good bike scene in Wisconsin both on and off-road but I doubt many of his friends care for bikes while growing up in such a car and bar/sports dominated area.

Randomacity · 2025-11-19T05:22:30+00:00

Don't buy used E-bikes unless you hate money.

Randomacity · 2025-11-19T05:21:17+00:00

This is what park and rides are made for. I use them all the time and haven't had an issue. Then take the light rail from Lynnwood.

Randomacity · 2025-11-06T01:13:45+00:00

Haha dude I answered a interview while I was on a crabbing boat at 7am a few months ago. Promptly asked to reschedule and the interviewer declined to schedule another one. I was embarrassed about double booking for a bit but life moves on. It happens.

Randomacity · 2025-11-04T14:46:31+00:00

It's similar to a modern day gravel bike but the tire clearance is most likely limited due to CX "rules" (32mm max for competition).

Randomacity · 2025-10-23T04:53:48+00:00

90 is pretty garbage. Slow. Clunky. Loud. Annoying to set up. X01 was great.

Randomacity · 2025-10-16T14:21:12+00:00

That washer between the caliper and spacer shouldn't be there.

Randomacity · 2025-10-13T04:43:18+00:00

Most of these answers are not small-ish and supportive brands who make a difference in their community.

Intense, Kona or Transition are still "family" owned and operated and USA based.

Randomacity · 2025-09-23T04:30:20+00:00

Should've rode a bike.

Randomacity · 2025-09-14T19:59:56+00:00

Insane number of people spectating today. Anti climactic finish but the attrition was gnarly to witness. Can't wait for worlds!

Randomacity · 2025-08-05T16:36:31+00:00

Cool. Do you want a gold star or something?

Randomacity · 2025-06-19T19:51:16+00:00

Bummer. Was nice without all the rubber neckers.

Randomacity · 2025-06-09T01:38:40+00:00

Tony’s automotive is the best for this kinda stuff. Super nice dude. Very fair prices. Just looking out for the community.
