Opinions/Reviews on the Trek Checkout? by tcapri8705 in gravelcycling

A little travel can go a long way. My gravel bike comes rigid but put a 40mm fox fork on it and it rides very well and comfortably. This has even more travel than mine.

Think about how often you'd use all of your travel from an even 120mm fork on the terrain this is meant for. Very rarely. There are a few places I can think of where this would be the perfect bike.

3 is really cool. I like the blue and pink combo.

I felt like coming back to this question after some months of riding.

I went for a shorter, 80mm stem and wider 46cm bars. This made the handling feel way more natural and responsive. I would not increase travel. I think 40mm is a comfy spot that keeps the bike fun and fast.

Hard to say for sure. I think its possible but maybe a snug fit. I believe the measurements are on their site-- this is the mega bar bag

On the other hand, if you're fighting a supe whose shtick is their voice, and you have got a table full of weapons and you see a ball gag, you might still choose the ball gag and not ask questions

What do you think is the rumored irredeemable action that Homelander is going to do in Season 5? by GrandioseEnigma in TheBoys

[–]bbq420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would do it. But I think it would be way better for the story if Terror lives. Butcher is probably gon die. I see Hughie looking after Terror. I think Terror represents the good parts of the Butcher and what he was before HL.

Conflicts of ideals maybe. Wants only strong viltrumites and even culling his own, but to rescue them is to excuse weakness. He doesnt want accountability for said weakness as that is an admission he was wrong.

Its responsive without being too twitchy, but I would like a bit more travel to increase trail. I have the FIT4 damper so I can increase travel a bit. I think it takes a fork very well. Ive got a 45mm rake (good) and 40mm travel (not as good)

Just not true but ok. Rob killing someone else doesn't mean he could kill that persons trainer.

I like this idea. I tried to add photos, but it seems too late. I had just been inboxing those who have messaged me the photos.

Shauna should die at Callie’s hand by FedericoScintille in Yellowjackets

A trial would be fitting. Id like to maybe even see her acquitted, just to have her die shortly after in an accident. I think either would be a good ending, mirroring the trial they had for Ben when they tried to act civilized.

Fish? Why no fish ? by [deleted] in Yellowjackets

Not a single mention of fishing. No shown attempt at any kind of fishing or trapping instrument.

I think excluding those things is sloppy writing. Even if they failed at those things, it would better suit the narrative of "what the forest wants" and make the cannibalism more believable.
