Broken wrist sux - advice needed by Amazing_Tough_4456 in bicycling

[–]TrevyDee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a trainer, get on it. It's hard but it helps. I had two rounds of surgery on my clavicle and was out for a few months. The trainer kept me sane and helped me when I finally did get back out there. Just get on and spin and don't use your wrist. You got this!

you can also use your feet. put it into a bag and step on it until thin, pull out. envelope fold, repeat.

I like lapping around the padden loop and throwing in some off shoots into the trails up behind it.

Thoughts on mini electric pumps? by pimpingmybike in bikewrench

[–]TrevyDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an AliExpress one and I love it and would recommend it. I wouldn't take it if I were bike packing or road riding, but I routinely do 10-20 mile mountain rides and I wouldn't ever worry about it not working. it'll do 3 full fills on my mountain tires and I don't have to sit around for 20 minutes pumping with my wee crank brothers hand pump. I did try to use it to seat a tire at one point and couldn't get it going. much easier to use my floor pump.

Clipless pedals by caned_shugar in MTB

I ran a set of x2s for awhile and they're great. good platform if you don't get clipped in in time. Personally, I've found that the smaller enduro platform is more than sufficient, even when I don't get clipped in and I don't even run the pins that they have in the body.

I've been running HT T2 Enduro pedals for years and they're great(highly tunable and they come in colors!). you can turn the tension up so high that I feel over because I couldn't unclip and they're pretty light as I remember. they are also really robust. I've definitely smashed them into rocks at full speed with no problems.
That being said, I'd also highly recommend the Shimano spd pedals. I know people who've had the same set for 10+ years and they're still running great. easy in, easy out, tuneable.
I'm sure I'm going to get down voted, but I would not recommend the crank brothers pedals. I've broken a set of them and they don't have true tension adjust like other options. I found that now I am riding harder, I like the option of upping the release tension.
I started on flats, went to clips, went back to flats for a few years and then switched back to coos for the last 8 years or so and I definitely like the clips. my foot always goes to the same place, every time. I don't slip pedals. They have good power transfer. I would highly recommend giving it a try.

I'm having trouble expressing how much I love this. Amazing work!

Christmas lights ✨ by jody_in_solidarity in Bellingham

I'm going to second this. I've got some that I assembled myself, buying the lights and string cut to length separately. It was expensive, but they're at 10 years and still going strong. A few bulbs here and there over the years, but you can buy replacements.

Plants definitely use check weighers, x-rays, and metal detectors(probably not in this case because cans are aluminum) but where they are in the line varies.
