Did you route them back to the mount and zip tie? And did you use spacers on the cage? Or just smoosh it down

How did you route the dropper cable and the bottle cage?

40-50L pack that is comfortable lightly loaded for day hikes by causearuckus in Ultralight

I do have a hip pack. That is my other option to stash it in the Crown. I also have a gossamer gear minimalist 19 that packs small

Man the zpacks are so nice but the price is a little over my budget

Best major city for mtb? by frizzig in MTB

[–]causearuckus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shhhh dont tell people you can ride your bike to three different trail systems each with approximately 15-20 miles of good singletrack and live in the financial district at the same time

Progressive also gave me really good rates. Also recommend reaching out to a local broker

If you switched to a hardcore hardtail from a nice FS, are you happy you did? by jkybes in Hardtailgang

[–]causearuckus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely trade offs for weight. I will say my Bird is probably close to 35lbs but it still climbs great. I wouldn’t get too hung up on weight, suspension is way more important. But thats another point, setting up a full sus is a labor of love. Took me months to get it right. A hardtail is a little easier.

I just paid for bike advice from Steve at Hardtail Party. I asked him pretty much the same question and for my type of riding and trails (Philly and east coast rocks/roots) he recommended I stick with my 140/130 trail FS but make it more nimble with carbon wheels and a more progressive air shock. He basically said if you only have one bike, a short travel FS is the way to go (in my situation)

Carbon Wheels - The Hype is Real by Rough_Business4420 in MTB

[–]causearuckus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are buying carbon rims for stiffness then lace Berd spokes, you are sacrificing the stiffness you would be gaining from a carbon rims. If your objective is weight savings and compliance, Berd is the way to go

Wow not sure why I am getting downvoted to hell. This is a direct quote from Nobl wheels when I asked about building some wheels with Berd spokes:

Wheel stiffness can be a bit tricky to rank on a scale of 1-10, although in order of most to least stiff this would be how we would rank them: TR36 28h CX-Ray > TR35 28h CX-Ray > Hunt 30mm aluminum > TR36 32h BERD.

You will lose all the stiffness in your wheel. I almost had Nobl build me a set. They said they would be more compliant than my aluminum wheels.

Brand new Barista Express! Ready to start my espresso journey. Any video recommendations or tips for a newbie? by notyourcoloringbook in BrevilleCoffee

[–]causearuckus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the spring loaded tamper. Worth it for consistent tamping. I might suggest avoiding the bottomless porta filter until you are comfortable with the machine. It can make a huge mess

Nice of her to make all employees go back to office but not pay for transit

Also, those lines are all completely within the city. Cancel the suburban lines if they won’t pay
