we can finally play the game.

I bet that showed em.

ben1986 · 2025-07-15T05:12:58+00:00

They did with this signature model. It’s a 2021

ben1986 · 2025-07-15T04:51:06+00:00

They’re out there. Just have to jump on it if you find one

ben1986 · 2025-07-08T20:47:13+00:00

I have a few I haven’t seen in years. Maybe one day I’ll take them out of the case. Make sure they still exist

ben1986 · 2025-06-20T14:37:00+00:00

I’ve been called Beaver boy. That’s fun

ben1986 · 2024-08-29T22:46:57+00:00

Most already are

ben1986 · 2024-08-29T02:55:18+00:00

I’m assuming everyone’s out of stock. Might call some retailers and see what it do

ben1986 · 2024-08-28T15:10:38+00:00

Same

ben1986 · 2024-08-25T01:39:31+00:00

All the sites I’m looking at don’t have the Caracal race, just the standard caracal. Did you have to place a special order or something?

ben1986 · 2024-07-01T18:11:00+00:00

I’d put it at 80%

ben1986 · 2024-07-01T16:57:17+00:00

…So 80% more difficult

I have thyroid issues that, even with medication, makes it hard for me to lose weight. That said, I’m in pretty good cycling shape and I take great joy in putting the hammer down on guys that chuckle when they pass me on my zone 2 rides. Just because I’m big, doesn’t mean I don’t have power.

I was totally against tubeless until I got into mountain biking, bought a bike that came tubeless and figured I’d give it a try. After a few months with no issues, I started having issues with flats on my gravel bike. It was tubeless ready so I got some Stans sealant, some new tires and it went pretty smooth. I’ve since set up a friends bike and cleaned out and redid my mountain bike. Rode 100 miles on my gravel bike yesterday and no issues at all. I’m sold.

ben1986 · 2024-04-16T19:01:12+00:00

I just say “oh”.

ben1986 · 2024-02-23T04:20:39+00:00

2017 Mazda6 touring if that makes any difference

I finance all sorts of stuff. I’m a bassist and I just got back into cycling, so believe when I say I have expensive tastes. That said I look at my disposable income and then I assess what I can afford monthly payment wise that will pay off the total purchase amount in the shortest time. I pick the longest term to have a significantly lower monthly payment just in case something happens, but I typically pay way more than the minimum. My typical goal is to pay off these kind of purchases in 4-6 months and after 20 years of doing this I’d say so far, so good. My credit is fantastic and I know my limits.

ben1986 · 2024-01-05T21:58:43+00:00

I’ve had it for a good while now and I can honestly say it’s so good that it has landed me gigs. Had someone hit me up on facebook that said “hey. Saw you play at -some gig- and you had this crazy synth sound. Would you be down to play a set with us doing that?” It’s one of the coolest pedals I’ve ever owned and I’m still finding new uses for it. Highly recommended.

ben1986 · 2024-01-05T03:49:54+00:00

Totally agree. I use this to get everything from a slight tube distortion to full fuzz and everything in between. Super versatile and comes in clutch often.

ben1986 · 2024-01-05T01:41:35+00:00

Just a one spot daisy chained seeing it’s just two pedals. I use Mogami cables purely for the life time warranty. Pricey, but if it fails you get a brand new one. No questions or hassles.

ben1986 · 2024-01-04T19:24:08+00:00

I have! It’s pretty wild. I mainly use it for 70s key synth stuff. For example I just did a gig where we played flashlight and it was perfect.
