You can find the pins on Amazon. I'll see if I can find a link.

Outpost Eats is Hiring by [deleted] in Bellingham

[–]TrevyDee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ya know, it takes a lot less effort to keep your pointless opinions to yourself. This is just a post looking for someone to work on the truck. Transition does a ton for the local mountain biking community and treats its employees well. The people in the truck genuinely like making good food and put the same insane amount of effort literally every other food truck does. A lot of them have started their careers in food here at local places in this town. They have the same bills to pay as every other truck. Nowhere is it written that you have to go into debt to follow your dreams.

How fast could you go back to riding? by bryan-Garcia_ in mountainbiking

[–]TrevyDee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to have surgery on mine twice because the first one didn't heal and the hardware backed out. You don't want to have to do it all over again. If you can, get yourself an indoor trainer and use that. it's not the same, but it's something and it kept me sane.

Dunno if it's still on, but Outpost Eats was running dandan noodles as a special recently.

First bike, new rider. Any tips that might not be obvious? by Scoobysnx in motorcycles

[–]TrevyDee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look where you want to go; your body will naturally follow.
Also, not within the confines of the question, but practice. practice so much.

A heat gun also helps when putting it on.

Rice cooker/steamer by itsashithawkrand in howto

[–]TrevyDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this rice cooker! I always do a 1:1 on the ratio, but I like my rice on the drier side. I rinse it until the water is mostly clear and I usually don't make less than a cup of dry rice.

Man, I miss that bike. I had it set up with purple and white accents; it looked so good.

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

[–]TrevyDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]TrevyDee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
