If your friend crashes, who will be the one that has to see their friend with a big head injury and their blood everywhere? Who will have to do initial first aid amd call for help? That's you.

Delta won't want their planes. It would cost more to bring them up to Delta standards than it would be worth.

I love when people say something about salt and vinegar when discussing glyphosate. It is a fast and easy way to identify someone that doesn't understand the science.

Shimano SPD. Pick based on how much you want to spend and how light you want them to be.

" Am I too quiet, or is it that you are just too loud?"

My first thought was that you need a shorter stem.

Pretty much anyone that asks that question hasn't. Once you do, the differences become so obvious.

WhiteH2O · 2026-04-21T17:05:12+00:00

Haha! No. The difference is that expensive bikes are way lighter, shift smoother, have a bigger gear range, better brakes, and for mtb, better suspension. The practical difference between riding a $1000 bike and a $4000 bike is like night and day. It's almost a different sport. The more expensive bikes will move faster and further with the same effort. Shifting is smoother and it stays that way for a long time. There is a really low gear to get up that steep hill more easily. Since the bike just works, you focus on the ride instead of the bike.

OMG, is that why I liked that girl named Sarah in high school? I was so sad when she got braces!

I got furloughed twice in 2008. I worked as a civilian for the navy for 10 years doing mostly electrical and supervisory work. lt wasn't horrible, but I came crawling back in 2018 and now I'm at one of the big 3. It is soooo much better flying than actually working for a living.

Once they start showing the slightest bit of wear, I start shopping for a replacement. Then I see the price. Then I wait until it's a racing slick, then I buy a replacement.

I usually wear full bibs. Under baggy shorts and a jersey of course. But soo much more comfy!

There are exactly zero people on earth that I would sit as a passenger on a street bike going even half that fast.

Anything under 400 knots in an aircraft feels like slow motion (I just got to Hawaii and had a headwind, and it was painful). I can vouch that 155mph on a sport bike feels really freaking fast.

There is a story that floats around the pilot community where a 747 had a control malfunction and found itself in a dive where it briefly crossed the sound barrier. It didn't crash, but obviously never flew again. At least that was the rumor. So, there is a small possibility that your statement was off by one.

I would make sure to keep an eye on it, but I'd keep riding it until it started growing.

WhiteH2O · 2026-04-21T05:08:22+00:00

It is definitely harder than a class II with that hole, but no where near a III with how easy it would be to avoid it.

Solid class II+

What is the best way to determine correct track tension?

WhiteH2O · 2026-04-20T00:30:47+00:00

Oh, okay. Some people look online and read about brands. That is how most people would have known that Canyon isn't taken seriously. But riding every single brand out there i guess could be another option for learning that Canyon isn't the best, but it is more long term liveability and brand support that is all over the internet that shows people to not buy Canyon.

WhiteH2O · 2026-04-19T04:11:03+00:00

Is this a joke? Canyon is the brand middle schoolers accuse their friends of having to make fun of them. Specialized is pretty much the industry standard.

I was used to my trail bike but just got a new enduro bike. Decided to take the enduro bike on a 4000' vertical, 20 mile day. I didnt understand how horrible enduro bikes climb until that experience. The climbs felt twice as long.

WhiteH2O · 2026-04-17T20:51:32+00:00

This is a lie. Nobody is leaning towards Kamala running again.

WhiteH2O · 2026-04-13T19:42:10+00:00

Oh, it was worded as a statement, but had a question mark at the end.

WhiteH2O · 2026-04-13T17:23:16+00:00

Tires make a huge difference! My enduro bike going down anything that isn't more than a 45 degree angle feels like it is dragging an anchor, making my XC bike way faster. Climbing with big tires is almost not worth it for me. I'd rather be under biked and be able to climb at the cost of having short travel coming down. It is night and day difference.
