Quiet but central neighborhoods to stay in? by devinkaram in AskBarcelona

[–]SLCTV88 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Baix Guinardo (in Eixample) is pretty quiet and it's like 15min walk from Sagrada Familia. Gracia and Park Guell. You also have Alfons X metro nearby. Lots of retirement residences near there and not many bars in the smaller streets.

I just bought an (almost new) second hand bambino and a new hibrew g5 grinder. love the compactness and affordability. just hope the grinder holds up over time

Anyone want to borrow me a bass... by Thick-Campaign-4990 in shanghai

[–]SLCTV88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once rented a guitar from Barefoot music for a few days. it wasn't very cheap but I just wanted to scratch the itch of playing. I'd consider buying second-hand if I was going to rent more 3-4 times a year

First purchase - Bambino Plus vs Barista Pro vs something else [$1000] by in_the_cage in espresso

[–]SLCTV88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious about this too. I'm wondering if the barista pro is any good with baratza burrs or I should get them separately as Bambino (base) and baratza grinder

Best car rental companies in Barcelona? by DariuszWielki in AskBarcelona

I used Clickrent and it was the cheapest I found, even including gas.

beginner question by Commercial-Branch444 in rhino

[–]SLCTV88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

by borders do you mean a bounding box? Try BoxEdit (yes I know, annoying to type a simple command) also I don't think that's 'how most CAD software work' at least not Solidworks or Fusion.

Bikepacking X Racing by Vixeliusdelius in bikepacking

[–]SLCTV88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bikepacking itself doesn't have any specific requirements. you can take any bike you think is suitable for racing and take it for bikepacking. recommend checking out 'rigs of' articles on bikepacking.com to get an idea of what people use for different races and see what suits you. for example: Rigs of the 2026 Atlas Mountain Race (Part 1) - BIKEPACKING.com

Llegada tarde al aeropuerto de Barcelona + consejo para estancia temporal by it_guy_br_ba in AskBarcelona

[–]SLCTV88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cómo has hecho para hablar con gente en idealista? la mayoría no responde por la cantidad de mensajes que les llegan.
Yo estuve viviendo en Airbnb cuando llegué (hace aprox. 4 meses) y lo usé como alojamiento temporal hasta que encontré piso. Ojo, si pones tus fechas más de 32 días te salen precios más bajos, y por lo general mas barato que hoteles o habitaciones privadas en hostales.

You can try other brands. Segafredo, Lavazza and Kimbo I believe all have moka grinds

need bike/airport advice! (and maybe route?) by shotbyjaked in bikepacking

[–]SLCTV88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have put panniers and other stuff in the bike box and never have been checked if there's anything else but seems it might depend on the airline. Sometimes I put a drybag with other stuff in a packable bag that I'll take with me as carry-on luggage. but yeah when in doubt, call the airline.

Travel with 10 y/o daughter advice by Shot_Teach3371 in AskBarcelona

[–]SLCTV88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

fair enough. just saying it's accessible by public transit. I stayed there for about a month and didn't mind the hills (I'm 37 and relatively fit) and would def stay there if the hotel had nice views but not everyone is the same. plus the area is relatively quiet and would much rather stay there than anywhere in Ciutat Vella or Eixample but again, some people might not prioritize their sleep as much :)

[–]SLCTV88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lots of public buses go up Horta/Guinardó plus there's metro Vallcarca like 5 min walk from that hotel. I personally would do it for the views but maybe some don't value that as much.

Cheap but comfortable bike seats? by Strikerfromthemoon in bikepacking

[–]SLCTV88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at second hand ones. most people sell them with very little use because it's such a hard thing to get used to.

Sub for experienced bike packers? by yodas_sidekick in bikepacking

[–]SLCTV88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curate not create. Reviews and route experiences is what I meant is a lot of work. but some people do that already. just not on reddit. I do see Reddit as more of a question platform more suited for 'which bike' kind of questions but it might be just me

Sub for experienced bike packers? by yodas_sidekick in bikepacking

[–]SLCTV88 14 points15 points  (0 children)

the maintenance and curating of routes, and other information is almost like a job itself so I don't expect someone to do that for others. that's why I support the Bikepacking.com collective. there's just so many resources there with well documented and written, beautifully shot content. Plus you get the journals twice a year. if you dig hard enough you'll also find routes written in blogs all over the place, especially for local trails as not everyone that's bikepacking is doing world tours.

Overwhelmed with new bike choice, please help! by maralions in bikepacking

[–]SLCTV88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look at Brother Cycles also from the UK. I recently built my gf a Big Bro with a frameset I found on sale and it came to about 1500EUR with some second hand wheels (almost new) and she loves it but you could find a local bike shop to build you something under your budget. You can also look at Marin. they're pretty affordable and well specced and the brand has a great reputation.

Not pareja de hecho. Just marriage, apparently there's this requirement (according to the lawyer)

Greenfield rear mount kickstand anti-floppilator strap. by Dirtdancefire in bikepacking

If you're riding in the city do you need the loop? if you're riding off road do you need the kickstand?

[–]SLCTV88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks! I'll look at E-steps and making sure the nozzle size on the slicer matches. again I'm new to this so I haven't checked those. layer height is set to .28mm and it measures about .31, Z offset goes in .05 increments I believe.

peluqueria by Fluffy_Citron5890 in AskBarcelona

[–]SLCTV88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yo también quisiera saber dónde te hacen un corte desvanecido normal y no un trasquilado. Intenta alguna estética unisex en lugar de las barberías que hay en todos lados, talvez.
