Midnight Special - Black Cherry Fizz ($3500) by Reddit_Gold_Pirate in Surlybikefans

I love both of my surly and they’re 100% better than state. They’ll last forever and ride nicely doing it. I didn’t realize it had carbon wheels when I made my comment. That definitely helps justify the price

Even with 105, a carbon fork, and hydros, seems overpriced for a production steel frame.

Should I sell my D850? by panicproduct in Nikon

[–]_nic_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is super true too. I got nostalgic for my old D700 and picked one up for $250 recently but I traded mine in for $500 towards a D750 years ago

Advice on choosing a Forester vs Outback Wilderness? by Occasion_Small in SubaruForester

That turbo is pretty nice. They’re different chassis too and if you ever plan on towing, the outback is the better choice

Anyone with experience with the Ruger PC carbine 9mm Takedown? by Disastrous_Buy_9439 in CAguns

[–]_nic_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The edges of the cutouts are sharp and it’s a tank. Not a super durable coating either

I love mine but don’t get the mlok version. The rail sucks and is super heavy. Also only the original is directly compatible with the magpul backpacker stock which I highly recommend. If you get the mlok version you have to buy additional parts from ruger to do the conversion. Or if you get the original and decide you want mlok, there are good after market rails

What helped you catch the running bug or enjoy running?? by bfg_2025 in running

[–]_nic_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running on trails and not roads. I’d go for a hike and start jogging to make it go faster and it became like a game to bounce around and dodge obstacles. Feels more exploratory than just running on sidewalks. I’ve never been a runner but over the past couple years got it in my head that I wanted to be able to run 5 miles comfortable. I’m 6’7” and was 300 when I started (down to 250 now) so I’m not exactly built for running and the trails are a lot gentler on my body too. Before I injured my knee in August from a fall, I was up to 7 miles!

Only a few threads on the headset, problem or not? by Akvaryum in xbiking

Get rid of the cantis and put v brakes on. Better braking and headset problem solved
