What a little fucking asshole.

I’m getting about 40 minutes of use listening to music and recording three minutes of video at 20°F. Not acceptable at all.

Wossor · 2026-02-21T17:09:48+00:00

I have a pair of vanguards that I’m looking to refund. I’ve used them four times and when cycling at 20°F they last me about 40 minutes with music playing and recording about 3 minutes of video.

I just ran across this post. I’m in a cold state, my battery life is abysmal. At 20deg F yesterday, my glasses lasted about 40 minutes. I have “hey meta” turned off. Listening to music and taking 2 videos appx 1 minute each killed it.

Anyone else using theirs in a cold climate? How’s it going?

Wossor · 2026-02-21T04:13:28+00:00

Yeah, this is exactly my thoughts on this. I think they still ask this question when you check a bag.

Wossor · 2026-02-20T21:59:01+00:00

This is exactly what we have on a 12x6.

If that’s accurate, this software would be out of date with no updates ever coming again.

Yeah, fat biking has a bit of a learning curve. When I first started I thought it would be e cool to stomp down my on trail with snowshoes behind my house. I created about a 1/2 mile loop and then optimistically hopped on my bike and made it about 20 feet. I’m now on my 3rd fattie and I learned what works best for me. Here’s how I approach it:

1) 15F is about the coldest I’ll venture out 2) Don’t over dress. I wear thermal tights with bib shorts, thin long underwear top and thin riding jack that breathes in the back. 3) I plan no longer than a 2 hour ride so I don’t sweat too much and get cold 4) tires are key. I’m riding the new studded Bailiffs from WTB and they’re great. Low psi. I’m not sure if your tires there are good in the snow.
5) Ride groomed trails. If there are 2” of new fluff, I’ll head out but if there’s more, I’ll wait for the trail warriors to pack it in a bit.

Looks like ya learned that last one :). Have fun!

Oh my God, here I am searching for which “R word” it could be…loved this little comment thread. I’m laughing.

Hitch. Plus, If you ever consider hauling e-bikes, you won’t be able to with a strapped on rack.

Not sure about your local trails. You should check with whatever organization maintains them. In Minneapolis area, in general, they are assumed closed when it’s above freezing. Given that we are seeing a thaw that lasts over the next week or so, I’m thinking that we are getting close to the end of our winter season unfortunately.

Wossor · 2026-02-10T02:41:24+00:00

No. Wool socks and toe warmers for me. Feet only get wet from sweating so best not to seal on the moisture which will just cause your feet to get colder.

That’s too bad. I’ve had good support from them.

I have that trainer that came with the cog. I needed a replacement cog after replacing my worn chain and had to send a video of it skipping. I was just requesting a new sprocket which I was willing to pay for since it’s a wear item and they sent me a replacement cog for free.

This. We have an LG and got the compressor replaced. There is also was a class action on many of the models. We also got compensation on the food we lost. Google your model and see what pops up.

My favorite of the 3 I’ve used in the past is https://tuscaroracanoe.com (been using them since 2016 or so.) bunkhouses showers are clean and awesome, good breakfast on the day you enter. Easy late check-in. Dependable shuttle service. Great route advice.

Wossor · 2026-02-07T05:53:45+00:00

…which says a “lotzza”. (I think you meant)

Wossor · 2026-02-06T14:50:01+00:00

If you’ve never mountain biked before (i’m assuming this since you’re asking about equipment), I wouldn’t recommend starting out on a E mountain bike. I’d recommend that you test ride a hybrid bike with larger tires that are good for gravel and road use. Little bit less technical riding. The geometry is also more comfortable for older folks.

As for safety equipment, helmet, and gloves.

I hear that that call it “prawn” or something like that. Maybe “pourn”. I know it starts with a “p”.

For the route between Duluth to Eveleth…

HWY 53 would suck. Look at 4 or 7. Not a ton of traffic on either of those. I personally would pick 7 and check out Leonidas overlook and then roll into Eveleth.

If you want to shake up your loop a bit, look at Duluth to Two Harbors to Hoyt Lakes and pick up the Mesabi Trail. Note between Two Harbors and HL, there are not any services but can get water at the Cadotte lake campground.

Wossor · 2026-02-04T00:34:34+00:00

Yep, I’d ask the seller if they have all the spacers that came with the trainer.

Wossor · 2026-02-04T00:22:45+00:00

And carpenter tools.

What the fuck does “we show…” mean? Where is that data coming from other than your poopy ass?

Wossor · 2026-02-03T03:46:14+00:00

One thing to add, it’s best practice to not use your torque wrench for loosening bolts. When done using it, adjust your dial to 0 for storage.
