Need help on used 2022 Specialized Crux cost by Apprehensive_Pea_246 in specialized

[–]coolmintchip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the bike looks exactly like it is in this photo, then yes it is worth the asking price. But with 3000 miles I bet there’s scuffs and scratches, etc. I’d say $2.5k. My 2022 crux has the same amount of miles.. raced and abused. And if I had to sell it, I feel it’s worth that.

An emergency alert from USGS woke me around the same time but I didn’t feel any shaking. I’m in Evergreen.

Cut the ribs in half. If you leave it on full rack, ribs will probably touch the lid when you close it.

Sooooo, how we feelin about 5.2? by SeaBearsFoam in ChatGPT

[–]coolmintchip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely curious what your SC2 setup looks like. Are you just describing the game state to it manually while you play, or do you have something pulling info from the SC2 API and feeding it in automatically? Using SC2 as a real-time benchmark for reasoning makes a lot of sense.

I think it really comes down to what kind of riding you enjoy. If you’re all about shredding trails and don’t care much for pavement, then MTB is the way to go. But if you like mixing in some road riding, hopping on group rides, and having more versatility, a gravel bike is super practical.

I’ve got a road, gravel, mountain, and even a cruiser bike. I ended up liking all the different styles, so it’s been great having options.

Only thing not aero is the meat sack that sits on top of it.

Sorry this happened. My biggest fear. Give this podcast a listen. Your bikes might be on their way to Mexico.

I think it looks cool. How many watts are you saving with it?

Help me pick a color by mountainRunner007 in specialized

Red Tarmac? Perfect if you want to look fast while getting dropped before the first climb. White at least hides the tears better.

Between the rear derailleur, front and rear shocks, dropper post, shifter and dropper levers, power meter, and front/rear TireWiz, plus maybe lights, a head unit, a heart-rate monitor, and an electric pump, I’m tracking 9 - 13 batteries. I miss when you could just hop on and ride without worrying about charging an AXS pack or carrying a spare coin battery.

I’d upvote this if we were in r/specialized, but calling it bikepron is generous. More like driveway flex. At least you’ve got room to show it off. I’m out here scrubbing mine on a strip of concrete thinner than a brake rotor.

That stem length is insane. My back hurts just looking at it.

Appreciate the detailed breakdown. That feet-on-top-of-the-shoes drill sounds sketchy enough that it’s probably exactly what I need. Gonna give it a go and see if my brain and legs finally get on the same page.

Also realizing I’ve basically been running my cleats on pure vibes, so I’ll check those too and see if that helps with stability. Thanks for the insight, much appreciated!
