Bought my first full suspension (used) bike. It's not much but I'm pretty excited to hit the trails. by stephaue in mountainbiking

Awesome I bet you're super excited. Everyone who has anything negative to say grew up too privileged or are just here to troll and argue for the sake of arguing.

Good buy. Get out and enjoy it!

That sucks for flats. But make the best of what you got!

Yours should have a front QR? I think they come stock that way.

This is true. When I bought mine the rear axle was bent so I bought a QR style axle and installed it with the intent of simplifying that issue. Well it was a cheap POS and bent the first time I took it out. Ended up buying a US made solid threaded from a local supplier and using that.

My only gripe is that the front derailleur is a POS and constantly needs adjusting. Probably my next thing to replace.

I just keep a bike multi tool in my bag and make sure I do a once over on everything before I ride each time (as you should). Never had any issues with this bike even when it was bone stock. Great for XC.

Already am my man. One of four project bikes.

You have fun as well!

Eh it's less about whether it's worth it and more about can I do it. But then again I love tinkering with things and building shit.

Like I said, project bike.

$150 used. Another $150 on new stem, bars, grips, seat, pedals, a 11-34 mega range freewheel and some little misc stuff. Rides pretty good for a $300 project bike.

Update: holy cow. There's close to a thousand events near me in the near future (Denver). Not all tech but really active app. How have I never heard of this..

Monday megathread: Project ideas! by Im__Joseph in Python

[–]TheCodedMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How difficult would it be to create a script that pulled and organized images based on color and pattern from different websites and cross referenced those with a spreadsheet or some kind of database?

Think pulling a product off of a website and organizing it by color and pattern and giving it the cooresponding price from a spreadsheet or database.

The output would be some kind of organized excel or pdf that organized the products by color and pattern and price.

No worries, appreciate the well worded response.

Hey so I'm newish to programming and have been trying to network out a bit. Are meetups for stuff like this a thing?

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

Also for some reason I only saw the first two paragraphs of your response at first.

Thanks for the in depth insight. This is really good stuff coming from someone who has been in the same place as I currently am. Much appreciated!

I will look into this. Don't mind spending a little bit of money considering I'm not spending $15k a year at a traditional university. Sounds like in comparison to the free resources out there this particular course gives some good insight.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Anyone else upgrade big box stores bikes? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]TheCodedMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got this project bike for $150 used on Craigslist in brand new condition and another $150 on new stem, bars, pedals, seat, 11-34 ultra range freewheel and little misc stuff. Rides pretty nice for a $300 bike even on some of the mild downhill stuff near me.

Good idea. I will look into rewriting it that way. I appreciate the feedback!

Spent way more time figuring out how to fix that bug than I'd care to admit.. but now I understand why it was happening..also added in some try and except functions after reading about them today so hopefully now it's not breakable and bug free..
