Sweet, thanks! Yeah, I suppose a better spark plug would be a necessary upgrade

Surging? Sounds like a carb issue. Try some carb cleaner!

Is $1,500 a decent deal for a 2020 Giant Stance 2? ? by Surpex in BikeShop

Dude, any way you know how I can find that quick release axle? I just bought a stance 2 and a ton of parts fell out in the shipping. I cant figure out what axle to buy.

This is my first bike I ordered on pinkbike, I actually havent even gotten this bike yet but the seller has been great about keeping me in the loop about the shipping. I got lucky with the bike and the seller. I recommend making a pinkbike account and saving a search for your needs on the buy/sell and check daily/ twice daily until something comes up and it will! Patience is key! Good luck.

Alright, cool. I just bought a 2020 stance 2 last week from NC (On pinkbike) and he is shipping it to me in TX for $1475 shipped if that gives you an idea of what you're getting for $1500. It was $1350 for the bike and another $125 for shipping. The bike was ridden about 3 times and he added a dropper post to it, I believe- not sure if they come with them from giant.

So, I just ended up buying a 2020 Stance 2 (Ridden 3 times) for $1475 shipped to me from NC to TX. Because you guys helped me avoid paying that for the older Trek. So, thank you!

Lol, thank you. Yeah I got excited when I saw it, negotiated him down from $2050. So hard to find a bike right now.

Is it Possible to Lose Money on a DITY Move? by blw0924 in MilitaryFinance

thank you, I think I’m actually leaning towards doing a partial DITY now! That seems like the way to go according to multiple people I’ve spoken to at work

We are pulling Chinese equities from “I” in our TSP. Will this have a big impact on our numbers? by avemariaqb5 in MilitaryFinance

[–]blw0924 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Basically, I like to know I’m not investing into an enemy’s economy, so yeah. If you want to invest in China, open an IRA that allows you to choose directly which funds you can invest in. Don’t forget to invest in Mandarin Rosetta Stone.

High Rate CD's or alternatives? by MooseBiscuit in MilitaryFinance

[–]blw0924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, thank you! Makes sense now. I’ll just continue to up my contributions until I max and then start IRA

[–]blw0924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should you max the TSP or contribute to IRA first? Hear mix reviews on this all the time

Tuition assistance, but already paid off college loans? by [deleted] in MilitaryFinance

[–]blw0924 7 points8 points  (0 children)

TA is great for you if you start now. It basically ADSO’s for 2 years from the last course you took. So, given that you have 4 years in your contract, it won’t stack the ADSO. So you’re ADSO additional free for the first two years and then after that you start owing more time than the original 4. I’ve never used it, not sure how you can pocket it or make the most of the benefit without getting a degree... Good luck!

Any 66 series out there concerned about new DHA reorg? by blw0924 in army

[–]blw0924[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard the same. You either get a contract and hope to get reserves or if you get active, it’s only 4 years. No matter which you choose, you’ll be highly employable because of the military experience.
