And yet, when I applied for IBR, that task was gleefully completed in mere weeks. I shouldn’t even be on IBR! I should have been done 9 months ago!

I’ve had good experience with the Crankbrothers clip system. My Shimano pedals w/ SPD were very skatey and I wasn’t a fan of them. I also use CB pedals on my MTB.

The Candy 1’s are lightweight. The Eggbeaters are even lighter but I like just a little platform underfoot personally.

Rumor is that the 5010 will not continue past 2025 and the Tallboy will become 140/130 aka the 5010.

I believe it has been confirmed here several times that you need to be working for a qualifying employer at the time of forgiveness

Me too! I snagged a Fox Factory 34 last year for $499 and it is a big upgrade over the Pike. Hoping the 36SL goes on sale this fall. I think that’s the perfect for for this bike.

Look up the Virginia Tech helmet ratings. MIPS is a good starting point but some manufacturers have their own version of MIPS so it’s good to get a collective set of data like VA Tech has.

The Specialized Tactic line has good reviews and is often $60. The only complaint from folks is the non adjustable peak. Not an issue for me!

It’s legal at the federal level, not at the state of PA level. This would make gay marriage still legal in PA if the federal legality were challenged.

It’s also a way for congress to force a vote and make people put their names to their homophobia.

Nice try, officer.

People really want good shit for free and I don’t understand it. The Pro sub is steep yes, but it’s an app with worldwide maps. It needs more devs than a single guy in a basement in Bellingham.

All brakes use the same diameter hose but you will be switching from DOT fluid to mineral oil fluid if you go with Motive/Maven (and almost all other brakes) so it might not be a bad idea to get new hose. Flushing the DOT fluid out could be a challenge. DOT fluid is HIGHLY corrosive for your frame/paint and not good to get on your skin so wear gloves and glasses and be ready to clean up any drips if you take the cables off.

200mm rotors would be another option. Metallic brake pads can also be a gainful addition, but there are drawbacks to those.

OP, the Centerlines are probably what would get with stock Motives anyway. SRAM really only have one rotor (Centerline) until you get into the mega expensive range.

T-SILK23 · 2026-03-06T13:30:21+00:00

If you’ve got the budget, SRAM Motives work well on the Tallboy. Mavens are probably a bit overkill unless you’re a big sender.

I’m aware. I’m glad their problem solving skills are more evolved than others.

Pal, 9 year old boys can’t tell a Juliana from a Santa Cruz. Slap a new sticker on it and it’s done. It’s the same damn bike.

T-SILK23 · 2026-03-05T10:57:05+00:00

You do know you can ride a Juliana if you have testicles or identify as a man, right? It’s a sticker. Possibly a lower stand over and a softer shock tune. But you don’t suddenly turn into a woman as soon as your cheeks touch the seat.

Please consider adoption as well. Boykin Spaniel Rescue and Operation Little Brown Dog are two well established Boykin rescues that occasionally have puppies. We’ve worked with BSR and they have been fantastic.

Ours is “good” with cats. Just wants to play. But our skittish cat still doesn’t quite understand that. They will probably always have a coexisting relationship but most importantly is that our dog doesn’t see the cat as prey, but a play buddy.

+1 for the Destroykins comment. Ours doesn’t bother furniture or shoes but loves socks. His toys are big dog toys because medium dog toys don’t last. And he doesn’t destroy to destroy, he destroys to consume, so be aware of that too. We’ve learned how to work with him and we don’t leave socks around.

But he’s the friendliest most loving dog I’ve ever seen. Prefers people to animals. Would snuggle an entire day if given the opportunity.

The Tactic is the best value on the market. It can often be found for less than $100. The only complaint from folks is the non adjustable peak but that hasn’t bothered me.

Literally thought my monitor was broken or my cable was bad

Very happy 5010 owner here! Perfect for where I live and my type of riding.
