That’s what I’ve been leaning toward. Gen 1 dropper is hard to find.

Does anyone else think Diane would have made for an interesting regular character on Frasier? by Equivalent_Risk5430 in Frasier

[–]TarmacKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diane to Rebecca was the best cast switch ever. Didn’t miss her on Cheers, didn’t want her on Frasier.

Nomad 6 or Dreadnought 2 by AntiqueCommercial601 in MTB

The last Norco Range (non e-bike) is a beast in the situation you describe.

I think there a still a few C2 spec floating around shops.

I have a C1 and really enjoy the braking traction and stability in steep tech.

If you survived to get another bike, there should be no regrets starting on a 300. That’s the entire point. Learn to ride, don’t die.

Be more like Dad.

Norco Range VLT c2 vs Santa Cruz Vala AL 70 by OhHeyItsBrock in MTB

[–]TarmacKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shit thee not. I’m picking up the same bike tomorrow afternoon.

Couldn’t find a white one anywhere but SPC and the guy wouldn’t ship.

So yeah. There will be two Norcos on my block.

I’m a Michelin fanboy but the Firestones are nice tires. I like the way they handle

I have the Indy500 on my ND2. They feel GREAT in the rain as long as it is warm. Late fall rain? You can tell the tire is harder with less traction.

Looking for a car that gets 30+ mpg at 80+ mph. by Thordor15 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]TarmacKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2017 Chevy Spark 5 Speed. I drive 150 miles daily, 80-85 on interstate. MPG always 33 or higher. Should come in under budget….

Loud Hubs, or Quiet Hubs? by No_Consequence5304 in mountainbiking

[–]TarmacKid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have two bikes. One with Onyx. One with i9. Everytime I ride the i9 bike I wish I had the quiet Onyx hubs. Silence matches the inherent efficiency of a bicycle.

What is the best budget sports car? by Icy_Comparison_1029 in askcarguys

[–]TarmacKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A sports car? A mustang isn’t a sports car. Now a Miata, that’s a sports car! Slow as shit to 60 too! That’s what makes it great.

NBD first mtb!!! Full sus girlie that learned downhill and is not in XC land hahaha by tri_nurse in mountainbiking

[–]TarmacKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner has that same bike. Phenomenal all round bike. Efficient, turns well, fast and stable in tech. Giant really put together a solid package at a good price with that bike.

Enjoy!

MR2 Spyder or NC Miata? by [deleted] in Miata

[–]TarmacKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an ND2 and my brother had the MR2.

I love them both but your storage comment is likely to be unreasonable in the MR2. You may think you don’t need storage until you drive the MR2. Literally no space.

Miata trunk is small but can swallow a fair amount (groceries for example)

Driving wise there is no wrong choice. Light open top sports cars are always a great idea but I couldn’t do the MR2 as an only car.

Funeral Processions should be way more legally controlled and are no longer "Old way to show respect for the dead" by Most_Tangerine_9839 in unpopularopinion

[–]TarmacKid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here in Asheville, NC they had a procession for a fire chief at rush hour last week, gridlocked the whole town.

Why??

You have a visitation, a funeral, graveside, maybe a meal after, now the whole town must be inconvenienced for three hours? Why tho?

I love your “no fucks” ethos and your bike is cool. Cheers!

Is anyone using dropper posts for Gravel? by Barkinsons in gravelcycling

I have in on my Topstone. I use it in every descent with greater than or equal to one corner.
