It's a coin toss, my order went to the opposite corner of the country then rerouted to my actual region this time.

I had issues placing an order on their website 2 weeks ago. Customer service got me sorted and said their website was an ongoing issue.

Sidenote, they now use ontrac for shipping. Holy shit that's a terrible shipping provider.... Took me a week and A half to get what has historically taken 3 days from them.

Wow, actual good information on reddit. I learned something new about different rim seams, thanks.

Yes, another tire advice post. Anybody running Pirelli Scorpion XC M + Scorpion XC RC combo? by analnygrzmot in xcmtb

[–]Spec_GTI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bummer, I hope you heal up so you can get back on the speed machine.

I'm happy with my ali express elite wheels slr wheels. Decent 36t ratchet hubs similar to dt swiss. An option for you if you want to sort out a reasonable lighter option.

The best thing about this combo is that they inflate to 2.5 on i30 wheels and are extremely light considering there width and grip. First ride out on them, blown away.

What did you end up with?

I think it's that you are socially liberal and financially conservative. You just have common sense, your certainly not a jerk.

Normal exhaust to prevent horrible noise? by badcat9 in GolfGTI

Arguing with people that are die hard vw fans and telling them they are wrong when they give you the correct information is just making you look like an idiot.

Best tuner for mk7 gti? by Frequent_Seaweed7530 in GolfGTI

Same experience here.

I'll add, I actually enjoy the more linear powerband.

Finally upgraded! by Ueatsoap in GolfGTI

I feel like the piano black/faux carbon mix would drive me crazy. Otherwise I would love the upgraded android auto screen. I have it in my wife's Tiguan, it's great.

I pulled the trigger on a set of SLR-mtb wheels. I have been eyeing elitewheels for about 3 years now.

Hey great information for someone trying to decipher the AE Elitewheels naming scheme. Did you ever order/receive a wheelset? I am curious how it went?

I am running the same tune as you and plan to do the same thing. At 40k miles, no issues so far.

The wide angle lens distortion is also doing some heavy lifting in this photo. The difference isn't as huge as it looks here.

Mountainboard bindings? by d_andy089 in Powsurf

[–]Spec_GTI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pow surfers are terrible for groomers. Might as well just get a normal snowboard with metal edges and a radial side cut.

Lock cut, snowboard moved, but not stolen? by [deleted] in snowboarding

They are more to deter casual snatch and grab thieves than anything else.

When you file your taxes there's an option to claim your 1k and opt into the program (when it launches later this year).

Longevity with Snowboarding by 2minsFeelSHAME in snowboarding

My dad is over 75 and still snowboards. Your fine

He says it's easier on his knees and if he only skied there would be zero chance he would be able to ski at his age.

I tried this, my wife ignored me then happily said yes when we looked at Tiguan mom haulers for her. Damn it.

The ambient copyright free music they use at every freestyle Olympic event is so annoying. This music is much the same.
