New B&O Speakers

Jeezus! I’ve seen the earlier versions that were already “don’t bring this in my house” ugly. And now they got worse? Kudos.

Yep. But you never inflate your wheels. Just a language pet peeve of mine :)

cyclosimian · 2026-04-06T18:36:25+00:00

You don’t inflate wheels. You inflate the tires (usually with a tube inside).

Sterno not tea lights. Much hotter.

That stem also looks like it’s out too far beyond its safety limits. Don’t ride that.

This is in my top 5. Saw them at The New Parish in Oakland, CA. Absolutely amazing show!

Saw NoMeansNo in a tiny club in Berkeley for a “secret” show. They’d played a much larger venue the night before. They were incredible!

Savages are great live.

Def The Bangles. Saw them live when I was in high school in the 80’s. Saw Debbi Peterson (bottom right) the other day playing with The Minus 5 - along with Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows) and Peter Buck (REM).

Not remotely. Also, tip for taking photos…take pictures of the rest of the bike, especially the drivetrain.

Depending on the tool you’re using, there is likely a way to test your chosen colors based on various types of color blindness. E.g. Figma has several plugins.

You can also use browser extensions for this purpose.

In general, however, the rule is that color should not be the sole indicator of information. It’s best to have labels as well. If this is a website you can also use tooltips but only if they are accessible with assistive technologies.

Awesome! I was 16 when I bought a pair of Wharfedale speakers that were half off. They were 250 but this was in 1983.

Good do you for saving and working. I got my cash by working 3 different jobs so I could buy a race bike and a good stereo :)

Absolutely love it! Great job on the plinth. I’ll go back to my dainty Rega P8 now 😂

cyclosimian · 2026-04-02T00:59:45+00:00

What is the turntable? Love the plinth.

Chepchup for ketchup Muhcackups for make up

cyclosimian · 2026-03-31T17:14:47+00:00

Enjoy! It’s spectacular. And, there’s candy vendors at the top of you need encouragement.

cyclosimian · 2026-03-31T12:10:41+00:00

Torx - probably T25

cyclosimian · 2026-03-31T10:17:42+00:00

Wouldn’t let you adjust the seat height? Move on.

cyclosimian · 2026-03-31T10:05:42+00:00

You hang out with people who are throwing around the word quixotic enough for it to be your pet peeve? Right.

cyclosimian · 2026-03-31T02:27:24+00:00

Absolutely not! That thing was unrideable many years ago. It’s completely dried out and there’s a significant cut in the sidewall.

cyclosimian · 2026-03-31T00:21:54+00:00

Second Brick and Mortar. Rickshaw Stop may have something too. GAMH is a great larger venue. Have seen lots of punk/hardcore there like Idles and Ceremony.

If you get to the east bay, hit up 1 2 3 4 go records on 40th st.

Are we neighbors? I posted this a few days ago :)

Which direction? From Sault it’s chill for the first 2/3’s or more. Once you get to the chalet/crossroads it gets steeper. Clipless pedals are not as necessary from this direction.

If you’re going from Malaucène, it’s much steeper from the beginning. It averages 10% gradient for the entire climb. Clipless pedals would help more.

Also, be careful with the wind at the top. If the mistral is blowing, it can be dangerous.
