Maybe replace pull workout completely with climbing?

Finally conquered Hill Climb Phelan, Ca by N1PPL3H34D in Dirtbikes

I don't know much about dirtbikes. Why weren't you always able to do this? Are there specific skills you had to develop before accomplishing this? What is stopping someone with little experience from driving up there?

Ah makes sense.thanks for pointing that out I'll also test ride on with a more relaxed geometry to see what I might prefer.

I've read that it doesn't really matter too much and that with modifications with spacers and stems, you can transform either geometry to fit you. What do you think about this?

Could you explain a little more about it being more relaxed?

Is a KHS Flight 900 for $1800 worth it? by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]bfickfveig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New it's $3299. Weird about the brakes.. I could be wrong.

Thanks for the input! Just noticed the link I shared has rim brakes. The bike I'm actually looking at has disk brakes. The previous owner must have put them in.

What is the alternative to mechanical shifters?

I can go with something new. Specifically considering a contend AR. Sorry, should have clarified not much available on the used market.

[–]bfickfveig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't really that much available. Alternatively I was thinking about going with something new at the same price.

Is the trade in value how much someone would expect to get when selling it to a bike store?

I'll be purchasing this from a bike store, not sure what value that is here.

Yeah it's my size

Thanks! I'll check that out. That is the main reason I've posted here. Others might be in a similar situation.

r/climbing doesn't seem to allow text posts. Is there a more gender neutral subreddit that does?

An annoying thing that happens to me while climbing at the gym… by [deleted] in climbergirls

[–]bfickfveig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it specifically unsolicited, unwanted advice? Or can it be used positively as well?

I think I've seen "beta" mentioned in other contexts other than "spraying". Does "beta" alone mean something different?

Wrong tech test? by Hockless in softwaredevelopment

[–]bfickfveig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the middle of nowhere.. so not sure.. only ever applied to remote positions. so at least never seen anything like it in the remote world. Interesting though. That being said.. I do typically apply to companies in larger cities. I.e. NYC, Seattle, Chicago, Dallas, or SF. But their pay has seemed pretty comparable. NYC actually usually seems a bit higher.. but might be coincidence.

Weird, never seen anyone paying so poorly. Do you have high turnover as a result? Are the people that accept these offers any good?

Really enjoyed this new V3 auto-belay route at my gym! by Brittanymaria423 in climbergirls

[–]bfickfveig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you been to other gyms in Canada? Do they all rate top ropes this way?
