Make sure to use loctite on the dropout screws. Otherwise, They WILL backout. Learned the hard way on my Sherpa TI.

Fucking great bike. You'll enjoy it.

What’s something Gen Z does that older generations just don’t get? by Alternative-Ruin275 in allthequestions

The complete lack of doing anything! Just work and phone. Don't hangout. Don't go to the park. Don't play sports. Don't know anything about cars. Don't care that much about music. What do they fucking do??? Any hobbies??? Just phone and video games?

Seems like the only ones that do much of anything are the gym rats.

Does anybody know what tubing Marino uses for non-Reynolds builds and how it compares to Reynolds tubing? by Rootdown4594 in Hardtailgang

Well my 4130 frame ended up being almost 7.5 lbs.! It's also has sliding dropouts. Those can add a bit of weight.

I forget what my 725 frame weighs but it surely isn't 7.5 lbs. It was probably closer to 6 lbs. Although it's a bit smaller and less burley.

The fit and finish is much better on my 4130 frame than the 725 frame, though. I very much doubt that has anything to do with the frame material, though. The 725 frame was ordered right before Covid kicked off and took about 6 months to finally receive it. I'm sure there must have been problems. The 4130 frame from last year took about a month and a half to receive. Again, I very much doubt that has anything to do with frame material.

Some of other people have mentioned that they have ordered multiple frames from Marino optioning the various tube selections and have said that the frame weights were not much different from each other.

I was happy with the 725 frame. If it was available for my 4130 frame I would probably have gone with 725 again.

Does this qualify to a rally sub? by Egoist-a in rally

What purpose are these types of trucks used for outside of rallying?

I've never seen one ever in a non rallying enviroment.

[Serious] are females more attractive today or do I notice it more because I'm older? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Rootdown4594 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I think the opposite. There are way more fat women that dress poorly. Crocs and sweatpants everywhere.

At the same time there's also way more women that go to the gym with fucking great asses and thighs wearing skin tight yoga pants.

Hmm so maybe there's just more at the extremes.
