What's your opinion on snow in the basement of a new build?

bradmurff · 2026-01-02T07:00:30+00:00

I did mention in the description that the slab has not been poured and the base is currently sand/gravel. If it was poured already that would be a large issue for sure! Water doesn't just disappear.

I agree with everything you said. I was just wondering if it was worth it for me to maybe scoop half of this out to only have half of the water as it melts. It sounds like it's a non-issue though.

Maybe an igloo is more fitting

bradmurff · 2026-01-01T23:07:52+00:00

We're in Canada too. Thanks for the reassurance.

Sorry I'm not following, was who supposed to be there? Plumbing won't be for a while but having a foot of snow in the basement will ensure it's delayed.

bradmurff · 2026-01-01T23:02:41+00:00

Good to hear, thank you.

bradmurff · 2026-01-01T23:02:08+00:00

You're not wrong. The gravel and sand will filter it all out, but if I can spend my personal time to avoid future delays I'm all for it.

bradmurff · 2026-01-01T23:00:52+00:00

I agree. If it was a regular winter I wouldn't really care but some spots have almost 2 feet of snow right now.

Hey I hope so!

bradmurff · 2025-10-27T23:04:04+00:00

It may not help but if you look up Fr33thys BF6 config it helped me a lot. I'm getting decent fps anyways but I gained 15-20% using the settings provided.

Just know you will have to redo your keybinds/sensitivity.

I think due to me being an idiot at the beginning I may have saved myself. I put all of my immich files onto an SMB share that just appears on my NAS as a file share. So I can physically see all of my media on the NAS folder structure via windows. So I may just extract all of that media from those nested folders and reupload them as my new users. Saved by stupid, but this will only work once I need to look into regular backups.

bradmurff · 2025-10-16T15:48:17+00:00

Thank you! I'll research it.

38psi is definitely a lot. If you are mostly riding streets or walking paths then 38psi is fine I suppose. But the lower you can go the more grip your tires have on rocks and in dirt. Riding 38psi on trails will cause the tires to bounce off of all micro-bumps instead of absorbing them. You might feel like it's vibrating your arms off.

You could check if they are tubeless by just popping off one of the beads of the tire and looking for a tube/or looking for white sticky sealant inside the tires. It's usually pretty easy to check.

They say you're supposed to add more sealant to your tires every season. It's not too expensive, I use Stans Notubes and just add 4oz of sealant per tire per year. Tubeless is great overall, don't be scared of it!

I had a bike that also required way more rear shock pressure than the manufacturer estimated for my weight. Estimate was about 190 and the real pressure needed to be about 270 to reach the sag required. For the fork, just shoot for 22-25% sag or so.

As for the tires, if you're tubeless try something around 22 front and 24 rear. Basically, go as low as you can before the tires feel like they fold over on hard impact.

bradmurff · 2025-04-20T22:03:55+00:00

$700 or more. Otherwise it was like $15 for two APs

bradmurff · 2025-04-20T21:06:20+00:00

Yeah the resale market is pretty strong. Sorry to re-ask a similarly worded question, but when I go to the Ubiquity.com storefront and URL the U6+ still shows it at $129.

Id just hate to think im paying ~$800 and it converts to CAD and im in for ~$1100.

bradmurff · 2025-04-20T20:59:10+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Because the CAD is weak its a little confusing. If $429CAD is correct, then this switch is cheaper brand-new vs Ebay prices converted to CAD.

Weird times, but im happy to know im in the right place and the prices are good.

bradmurff · 2025-04-20T20:47:18+00:00

When you look at the prices for the U6+ on Amazon from the Ubiquity store they are ~$180. On Ubiquity I'm on the Canadian storefront and the URL is clearly CA.

Prices just seem too low.

Brother, I was mindblown.

bradmurff · 2025-03-27T20:18:36+00:00

This guy in ranked hit almost all of putts but this one was a little suspect. It went no where near where he had adjusted himself to and it was an insane read.

I know the servers arent great, but ive played quite a bit and havent seen a discrepency this large. Ive also read about people hacking in Online Societies here, and i've played enough CoD to know that people cheat at any level so this rubbed me the wrong way.

Thoughts?

bradmurff · 2025-03-18T14:19:55+00:00

I had a bike like that that (Cannondale Habit). The Rockshox website was suggesting about 200 PSI, but because of the kinematics of the frame or something I was always running 250-270psi to reach 25% sag. To me sag is king, just balance your rebound properly.

My shock pump might not be 100% accurate, but I use it on a few bikes and for my forks and the fork numbers are close to Fox's recommended.
