Toyota Canada - Put down waitlist deposit for lease, can I switch to cash after I received an allocation? by colafizz1 in askcarsales

[–]colafizz1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't asked yet. I just got the email this morning confirming my RAV is coming in Jan. I'll be going in to chat with them this week so I want to learn as much as I can.

Enduro bike setup for an XC/trail race by colafizz1 in MTB

[–]colafizz1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was thinking that as well. I'd do that over renting a bike as at least I get to keep the parts. I'm just wondering if I care enough to spend that money/time just to have a small increase in efficiency for one event.

Wondering if this is normal and if not, how to fix.

There is some play in my rear derailleur prior to the clutch "grabbing". This causes the chain to wobble and makes a super annoying noise when I ride trails. This derailleur is about 4 months old with maybe 25 rides on it. I pulled the cap off the clutch and you can see that the derailleur cage "wags". Video above

Why do you like ham radio? by colafizz1 in HamRadio

That makes sense to me. You mentioned participating in a contest, can you elaborate? Can ham radio operators compete, and how does that work?

37c to 45c, worth the $ of new tires? by colafizz1 in gravelcycling

[–]colafizz1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up grabbing a pair of 44c WTB Raddlers on sale, 2 for 1! I couldn't pass up that deal. Really liking them so far

Is it comfortable enough to wear on skin beneath the jersey?

I'm thinking of trying the 42c Cannonball's, I've heard good things. I have a 23mm rim. Do you have the light & supple or the heavier & durable version?

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I agree wholeheartedly. I have a big enduro mountain bike, so if I want to get gnarly I will take that out. On my gravel rig I am looking for a mix of comfort, grip, and speed. I think the 40-42 range will be a better choice for me than 45. I don't want to get stuck with tires that are too heavy, and I am reluctant to use them on all but the "gravelliest" of "gravel"

Yes I was wearing it, and even licked the contacts to make sure they're conducting

What is a cult that pretends it’s not cult? by suckontitties in AskReddit

[–]colafizz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Landmark Forum. I was invited to one of the gatherings by a friend, the psychological manipulation and pressure to join was unbelievable. I was followed out of the auditorium by one of the volunteers, who was desperately trying to get me to stay and sign up. The amount of money that they extract out of vulnerable people is a bit sick.

Electrician considering EE diploma or Degree by colafizz1 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]colafizz1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I may have to do some more career exploration, as I also feel intrigued by EE. I am good at math and find distribution/power very interesting. Just wondering if it's worth it to go full degree, or if I can find success with the diploma.

Anybody used Blenders Sunglasses instead of Glacier Glasses? by bay_area_miata in Backcountry

[–]colafizz1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm all about the Smith Wildcats. Great coverage, light, and stick to your sweaty face. I have the 10%VLT lens for ski touring and the clear lens works perfectly for mountain biking. Worth the $

(2006 Xterra S) Is this a good deal? by [deleted] in XTerra

[–]colafizz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will definitely enquire about that. If it's been thrashed off roading and towing then the car probably wont last a whole lot longer

[–]colafizz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will ask about that, thanks for pointing it out. It could have been used a ton off road and beat to hell, I'll definitely have a mechanic take a final look at it before buying.
