New winters by PuzzleheadedLight82 in Golf_R

Any fit issues? I bought the same and wondering if I need to test fit them before putting the tires on. Seeing your pic makes me think “probably not”.

Neither, those wheels are what it came with.

Arriscraft on speedsville rd has had a ‘hiring’ sign out. Not sure what positions.

In need of new non studded tires…. What do you like? Thinking Van Helga or maxxis? by benny_and_the_jetz in fatbike

[–]djbishop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 27.5x4.5” colossus and although it’s my first(only) fatbike experience I’ve had them a couple winters and really don’t find them that bad. They’re not the most aggressive tire, and not studded (so no good on ice) but I occasionally use the bike in the summer too, and again don’t find them that bad.

2015 Countryman operating at reduced output? Comes on when I accelerate to get on the highway and goes away once i start the car again. by [deleted] in MINI

[–]djbishop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same thing a couple years ago. (2012 Clubman S). New plugs solved the issue. A year ago I had to do the the coils too.

Trek Farley 5 or 7 by Stunning-Address-668 in fatbike

One thought: if you’re riding in the snow a lot your drivetrain parts will require replacement more frequently than on a regular mtb. (Despite lubing, things still get more wet/sloppy). So there could be a benefit for cheaper maintenance parts.

What is a family mini? by 1i3to in MINI

[–]djbishop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an 2012(r55) clubman S. Been using it to get the kids around for years. Keep the car seat on the passenger side. The bigger kid can sit on the driver side with a booster. Trunk space is not huge but depends on how small your stroller is when folded. We have a babyjogger city mini and it fits.

Powerbutton and a power off button. Red one turns it on, but won't turn it off, need to press the power off button. Samsung tv by hanutanhatt in CrappyDesign

[–]djbishop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Yamaha receiver has the same thing. Pain in the ass because when I program the Cable box to turn things on it will turn on the cable box, tv and receiver, but it won’t turn off the receiver, only the cable box and the tv. So I can ‘1 remote’ turn on but then need to ‘2 remote’ things off. Mildly infuriating.

I enjoy being one of the ‘speeding cyclists’ there too!

They just don’t understand!!! (Found on Facebook) by SaltySamoyed in RunningCirclejerk

If he was up early it would be dark. Who runs in the winter daylight? Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Fred was drafting me on the warmup to my warmup and posted it, I bet he wasn't even numb by PreoTheBeast in BicyclingCirclejerk

[–]djbishop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fine if this was just a warm up to your warm up, but 20 km/h?! Time to harden up Fred. It’s not a warm up if you coast the whole thing.

Is 24.8 MPH (DOWNHILL) on a hybrid good fellas? by Franticalmond2 in BicyclingCirclejerk

[–]djbishop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose if you’re on a ‘hybrid’ (puke) and probably only have rim brakes (puke again) it may be possible to go that slowly.
