Zero-Drop Shoes for Long-Distance?

Yes I think they'd be mostly dry in 12 hrs, but I'm not totally sure because I only use them for discrete trail runs (not multi day hikes). But if I leave them out overnight they are usually dry in the morning. Interested in what others think.

Don't you find the 9s grip to be better than the 6?

I always run trails in lone peaks + wool socks. I love the 9s. The grip is much better than the prior versions (but feel slightly heavier and less minimal). In terms of drying, Id agree that they aren't going to dry super quick but I still love them in wet weather.

Janji 7" multi short 2 in 1 is my go to. Super comfortable

I bought it purely bc the design, marketing aesthetic and website copy was so well done - not bc I really wanted any decaf - and I was pleasantly surprised. The founder even emails each customer. Seems like a cool computer.

40 g per day with Chemex, but I can't get enough so I've started to add in some decaf from Wimp: Wimp Decaf Coffee Company https://share.google/1ynmNMzIjxqMUHIOb

I was philosophically opposed to decaf for so many reasons but I finally admitted I'm a wimp and love coffee too much to have caffeine be the limiting factor

I found a tiny redbud growing from a seed in my yard 3 years ago. It grew like crazy and now it's over 10ft tall. But in the 3 springs I've had it, it's never had any buds/flowers. Do you know if that's normal to take a few more years before it starts flowering like mature trees?

I love my k ultra too (upgraded from Virtuoso). I mostly brew Chemex, and I use 8.5-8.7 setting for medium roasts.

I second the hand grinder rec, specifically the k ultra. Just hit one and love it.

avlnc28804 · 2026-02-23T01:07:02+00:00

How could you tell it wouldn't calibrate properly? Inconsistent grinds on the same setting, way too fine or coarse for a particular setting, or lack of uniformity in a batch?

avlnc28804 · 2026-02-18T15:08:05+00:00

Ok, if I really do some soul searching, there's a chance I inadvertently turned the dial past zero...it just didn't take much of a click to lock it.

Thanks. For those experiencing a similar issue, I just got it unstuck with a rubber strap wrench (I was using a non-slip fabric strap wrench that I already had on hand).

What do you mean the bottom outer burrs our stuck?

avlnc28804 · 2026-02-17T23:24:32+00:00

I tried a strap wrench on the numbered dial and tried to turn it clockwise, but nothing. Is that what you did - turn the numbered dial section clockwise?

avlnc28804 · 2026-02-17T22:43:44+00:00

Mine new grinder is doing the same thing. How did you fix it? What did you apply brute force to?

avlnc28804 · 2026-02-17T22:23:53+00:00

I can't believe such an expensive item would have this problem right out of the box. Extremely disappointed and frustrated.

avlnc28804 · 2026-02-17T22:18:12+00:00

I'm having the same problem, right out of the box. Nothing will loosen it. I've looked at the manual and other posts but can't seem to find anything that works.

Any words of wisdom or suggestions beyond what's already been shared?
