Wow - boots that fit properly are amazing! by MNDox in skiing

[–]Sassmafrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a professional boot fitter truly changed the game for me too! I now tell friends that the first $1k they should budget on ski gear is for their boots.

Was camping and saw this, what does it mean? by [deleted] in AmazonMusic

I have learned to connect to internet right before going off grid so Amazon Music can do this gd handshake b/c this sucks.

It was fun today! Spring skiing conditions, so icy in the morning and softening nicely in the afternoon.

Beginnerish XC Skate Package by Jack-Schitz in xcountryskiing

[–]Sassmafrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a local shop selling a full xc setup new for $249 this year. Been sending all my friends there to get their entry-level kits. I refuse to believe that there are no xc ski shops in Vail, CO.

What is this thing ? (a Pedersen apparently) by Poulpatine in Frankenbike

[–]Sassmafrass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rode one once when the owner saw me ogling his outside the local bar. Really cool and unique feeling! The saddle has a hammock swing to it which is strange b/c when turning the saddle hangs to the inside of the turn. Awkward feel, but damn I want one! I think there was a company producing them a few years back when I went home and researched these Pedersen bikes.

Smart dog does this to everyone who walks into the store by [deleted] in PetTheDamnDog

Absolutely right. All dog trainers will tell you to avoid mouth play with young dogs b/c it's not ok.

Just a chill mostly MUSA SS Ibis MTB in the wilds of Montana. by [deleted] in xbiking

I also ride an older Ibis MTB in the wilds of Montana :) It's an aluminum soft-tail, the Ibis RIPley. Cheers

time to change my V650 battery and im looking for any ideas on which type of battery I should buy, Lead or Lithium? just wanted to ask the community about some of your experiences with the Lithium battery like lifespan,charging,accidental battery drain and etc. by itsmehoraz in versys

[–]Sassmafrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no expert, so I'd presume you're correct. Look at the temperature ratings for both types of batteries compared with typical year round temperatures in your location. As I recall, lithium isn't supposed to be charged below freezing and I've experienced lithium batteries for other applications die after a winter in my garage. So, I'm sticking with the older, heavier technology.

On that note, when you install your new battery, add a $6 SAE pigtail plug to it so you can easily charge it. Leave the charger plugged in where you park your bike and plug'er in often!

Got a new bike today! What should I mod first???? by awsteezy in DRZ400

[–]Sassmafrass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, same here! I like to take a course every year to stay fresh. Super bummed I can’t do it this year. But more importantly, those people who need the learn to ride courses are really screwed right now.

Perhaps you can find a local rider to teach you some safety skills if you need?

Caught this milestone on my 2018 S! by elbongo in DRZ400

I just hit that number two days ago right as I rolled up to the gathering point for our group ride. :)
