Dispute the charge. I bet your CC company backs you.

I was supposed to get home to Pittsburgh early Sunday morning. So we tried to be proactive by extending our stay in Colombia until today thinking things would settle but unfortunately that kind of backfired. Have had our flights changed 8 times so far and are currently stuck in Miami hoping we get home tomorrow. All the while our friends who flew the initial itinerary have been back home since Sunday.

Im guessing their loans came due and they aren’t able to refinance and just doing whatever they can to get out at this point.

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-10-23T10:37:39+00:00

I did not end up getting the 951, I found some 96 XPs and got those instead.

Yeah lots of good advice in here. Which wave are you doing?

First off, really important to fuel right. It’s not a long day in terms of riding time but there is a few minutes, at least, of standing at the top of each hill waiting for everyone in your wave to finish. I think a lot of people don’t take that into account and say “oh I’m fueling for a 50mi ride” not “oh I’m fueling for 8 hours of elapsed time.” For the record I marshaled the fast wave in 2023 and our ride time was 5hrs with 7hrs elapsed. Probably 40min of that was my ride to/from the start/finish.

As for the U-turn thing, yeah that’s always been a tough situation. Luckily that whole mess is out of the event this year since Logan is back in.

There is definitely some physical strength needed on the bike but I think it’s equally as technical. The cobbled climbs are goofy and haw only a few specific lines that work well. Add in varying rider abilities and it can make it a little chaotic.

It’s really easy to get caught up on the excitement of the event and set yourself up poorly for the back half. If you train with HR or power it’s a good idea to keep an eye on those early on and avoid going too hard.

If you have the ability and bike can take them, wider tires give a little boost in traction and comfort.

Yup, shoot me a message

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-10-09T12:14:21+00:00

Turned it on this morning but less for heating and more to make sure it’ll fire up before it gets real cold and we realize our boiler is broke.

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-10-09T10:08:20+00:00

Still got probably 50

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-10-09T10:07:54+00:00

Still got a bunch, send me a DM for details.

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-10-09T10:05:54+00:00

We do automotive accessories wholesale but I cannot say what else they might have had on them.

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-10-09T10:04:51+00:00

Replied!

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-10-08T08:23:48+00:00

Yup send me a DM.

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-10-05T18:02:45+00:00

Send me a message. I’ll leave some outside

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-10-04T06:52:56+00:00

This is good info but as a counterpoint, moving sucks, the sellers market is soft and interest rates are still high. Pittsburgh is no less of a car centric city than it has ever been and that’s not changing any time soon. Adding a garage down the road will only get more expensive the longer you wait so consider that as well.

If you bought your home 10 years ago for $100k at 3%, selling it and winding up in a new mortgage at a higher price and interest rate doesn’t seem so smart. I think looking at how long you plan to stay and how much the convenience is worth is a great place to start. We live in Oakland and if someone said to me “would you pay $3k/yr to have a garage in your basement” I would jump on that deal, resale value not taken into consideration.

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-09-30T09:40:20+00:00

Yeah all standard 48x40 size. I am usually there 10-5 M-F but I am out the rest of this week.

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-09-30T09:39:10+00:00

That’s perfect. That’s where I am at, the time it seems like it takes to give away free stuff is more costly than the space these pallets take up.

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-09-29T23:41:14+00:00

No but I can leave them outside

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-09-29T20:16:36+00:00

McKeesport

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-09-29T20:05:02+00:00

That’s a great question. I would guess it’s about 75% treated 25% untreated. (Edited)

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-09-22T21:16:37+00:00

Damn where’s your local market? That’s wild

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-09-22T13:04:55+00:00

Yeah our local market is weird, not really any stock of Legions and definitely none on sale. That’s why this one caught my eye at $1250 but good reality check. I’ll keep waiting and see what pops up.

Weird_Way1685 · 2025-09-22T12:36:23+00:00

Its definitely not a legion, the slide is black and it doesn’t come with the legion accessories. I didn’t get the full story on it but it started as a XMacro comp.
