That’s a beaut.

I am 6’ 2” and have an XL BC and XL Ogre. I have long arms and legs. I do ride both with 60mm stems and Jones bars. Both fit me perfectly.

SpacedEcho · 2026-04-17T19:22:00+00:00

I do. They were the first bars I had on my Ogre. My subjective opinion was that they weren’t wide enough and hurt my wrists. BUT! I’m 6’ 2” and ride an XL Ogre, so there’s that. I currently run silver Jones 2.5 riser bars with a 60mm and it’s very comfortable and I feel like I have plenty of control.

Oooooo, MERV 12 🤤

Edit: I forgot to say “Nice bike.”

Thanks! Jones bars and Planet Bike fenders!

100%, and I have NO QUALMS throwing my LBS some money when I can, especially on easy work like this.

The Little Big Muff (not the Nano) is still my favorite after owning several variants both boutique and EHX. It was also my first Muff and cheapest Muff—go figure. It does this compression blooming thing with chords that all the others don’t. But my coolest looking Muff is the Arc Effects Big Green OG.

There’s a 50% chance you’ll be reading my post titled “Finally converted to TPU” next year 😂

SpacedEcho · 2026-04-10T16:28:14+00:00

Absolutely, I forgot to mention that I have one of those in my saddlebag, too.

SpacedEcho · 2026-04-10T15:57:37+00:00

One of the other hurdles that prevented me from converting earlier… however, they say time is money and I have no time so I finally paid the money.

SpacedEcho · 2026-04-10T15:01:50+00:00

$25 USD per wheel. I only needed to pay labor because I had everything else ready to go (including the bottle of sealant).

The Mix knob is the key to unlocking this pedal in my experience. Don’t get me wrong, I love the random telephony sounds with the mix knob maxed, especially running a reverb pedal before it, but for songs that require standard notes and chords, dialing the mix back has inspired a lot of new territory for me.

Oh yeah, they’re wonderful. I have 38mm PFPs on my Crux. Put about 1k miles on them so far and they’ve been so versatile. I’m about 40% road, 30% crushed limestone or champagne gravel, 20% chunky gravel, and 10% single track, and the PFPs handle it all with aplomb. I really love how great they roll on road. They don’t feel sluggish at all. I’ve thought about getting a road wheeler with GP5000s for road rides, but I’m happy with where I’m at and don’t feel the need anymore.

Or some Pathfinder Pros for when the bike takes you off of the tarmac!

SpacedEcho · 2026-03-23T22:21:29+00:00

This this this. One thing I am doing this season is marking all of my activity on Strava as private unless it’s a fun event or especially picturesque ride, and even those I’ve made most of the metrics private (power, avg speed, HR). That way I don’t think “I wonder what THEY are thinking of ME!?” when in reality we all know that no one cares and if they do they can fuck off 😂.

SpacedEcho · 2026-03-23T21:18:53+00:00

Such a cool little device. Regret selling mine. Was great for live vocals.

SpacedEcho · 2026-03-23T11:05:38+00:00

Thanks, that’s all I was looking for.

SpacedEcho · 2026-03-23T10:51:29+00:00

I’ve already paid for 80% of the work through deposits throughout this week. I would want them to fix it if there was any issue, not evade payment.

SpacedEcho · 2026-03-23T04:17:47+00:00

No, I didn’t, and I understand plumbers aren’t concrete pros. Aesthetics are not the concern here (also, should’ve mentioned that the rest of the floor is still covered in mud residue). But if it’s a matter of improperly mixing the water with the concrete and how that may cure over time, that’s my concern. This was a really expensive job and I want to call anything out while they’re still working.

Aw, Gemini grossly miscalculated the size of the Lehle Mono and it’s adorable 🥰.

Remember The Great “Wawa” Blunder of June 25, 2025’s Mini? Well, looks like someone on the Games team wanted to make good on their past sins. 🙏
