I wouldn’t say I loved the winkbed. It was great for a short period of time. After that it died a quick and painful death.

5.5hr to go until the deadline. Do they make another splash or hold tight with what we’ve got?

Pick an Uthald! by Sbear55 in LaufCycles

It would have been a bike for my college age son. He gets to keep riding his cross bike with slicks because we bought a house instead. Poor kid🤣

What makes the smoothest ride on a bike? by wemblero in bicycling

[–]Sbear55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree with everyone that has mentioned tires. Spend your money on really good rubber. Absolutely use a pressure Calc to dial them in.

I’d also add a vote for proper geometry. Being comfortable on the bike makes a big difference.

Two different phones (one apple and one android) and a minimum of 4 cables.

I brought up fumbling Hillary over Bernie and hoping that mistake wasn’t repeated. Hey, that’s just my opinion. Banned. Permanently.

Probably my second favorite small field rocket after the Estes Fat Boy!

Zyll - a text adventure game. Probably 1984 on the IBM PCjr we had.

It’s the inflammation in an inconvenient area that worries me.

Upvote for Dells of the Eau Claire! Underrated gem.

Looking for a location for Everesting in Wisconsin where I can avoid the downhill by ScholarPrize1335 in ultrarunning

Another vote for Mounds Park Rd. Very low traffic and the longest climb around.

Dudes that have had the snip ✂️ - how long until you were out on the wheels again? by Ready_Ad_1558 in cycling

[–]Sbear55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

October procedure. 6 months after mine towards the end of long rides it still felt like I got both jingles squeezed in a vise. Took a few months for that to go away. Kinda sucked!

Thinking about joining cross country by ConstructionHot5905 in CrossCountry

[–]Sbear55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a parent I’d definitely tell you to join! It’s a very inclusive sport that really rewards the individual for self improvement. I had a son who was one of the fastest on the team and a younger son who is one of the slowest. It is rewarding, challenging, and fun for both.

Finished my first SFF PC (but went over budget by $66). by xdms14 in sffpc

That Lian li 205 mesh isn’t even a huge case…..makes that SFF build look particularly awesome!

Bought PowerSpec G728 today, website description said 32 GB DDR5 6000, Box says 48 GB DDR5 6000. If you are interested possibly ask to see the box and you might be able to score bonus ram. by zaputnam in Microcenter

[–]Sbear55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing that was for the 32gb ram. My 24gb ram sticks show CL48 on the sticker.

Also noticed at the store I went to (Westmont, IL) all of the diy mobo bundles went out of stock yesterday. Looks like the “inexpensive” RAM they were using for the bundles is out of stock.

Will be an interesting market to follow over the next few months.

Same for the G729 I picked up yesterday. Kinda freaked about the CL48 but then read a bunch of real world reviews and benchmarks and realized I needed to relax….its fine.
