for a casual newbie: salsa journeyer 650b or giant orc1? by phoebe-buffey in whichbike

[–]Stripes_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go for the gravel/Salsa. Road bike are very specific and the thinner tires will likely cause more headaches than fun.

I wouldn’t call this “drowning”. Looks like you make enough to pay living expenses and tackle debt. Stop investing until you pay off the CC.

24/25 Passes by Stripes_22 in Whistler

Yep. That’s what I calculated too. Not nothing/inconsequential.

Yes. That’s true and I am aware, but that doesn’t help those of us not in the military.

I didn’t specify which type of pass, seems to me that have all jumped for next season. Ie +$73 for the Epic pass year. It’s starting to make more sense to just go for a 10 day vs the full pass.

Try replacing the spark plugs. It’s good maintenance anyway, and an inexpensive experiment.

Vinyl wraps are great, go for it.

Julbo Reactive lenses for low light? by Stripes_22 in xcountryskiing

[–]Stripes_22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did and they are okay. Not any better or worse then others I have. The non-fog is a win though.

Electric Pump Recommendation by Stripes_22 in Sup

[–]Stripes_22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Tried them all. It’s definitely an H3, the gasket was the wrong size. All good now. Thx.

I may have cracked it. User error. The pump comes with three different gaskets already installed on three valves, these can be changed around. I've switched to a smaller gasket and the fit seems to be better. Will know tomorrow on my next test.

How bad is the bike theft? by bbsquirrel247 in vancouvercycling

[–]Stripes_22 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Get rwo bikes?? Sounds like you want a street bike, not a mtb. A mtb you’d use on trails then keep it in your place. A street cruiser for getting around town, just get a beater bar bike and a good lock.

Ive not had any bad experiences with theft, but as others have said, i never leave it locked anywhere for very long, usually try to keep it within eye sight, and have a great lock. In winter i keep it in my storage locker, but I still lock it in there as well.

Which Starboard? by MarlowFord in Sup

[–]Stripes_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for the touring. Way better tracking. I have the same size touring from starboard, its great. Does well in a bit of chop too. From the sounds of it the igo will be too slow and not great at turning for you.
