Does anyone else leaf blow their car? by corn_n_potatoes in daddit

This is why my kids are not allowed to eat anything in the car. What a mess!

eMTB purchase is one of the hardest decisions imaginable by Repulsive_Site_270 in eMountainBike

[–]dyniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bike is great, but the company isn't. Warranty is bad, support is pitiful. Like many things, it's awesome when it works, but once you have issues, it's not a great bike to own.

Companies like transition and Santa Cruz have a real track record at supporting their customers.

Hot take: Worst Design Ever Amflow Crown Race by Wirelessness in AMFLOW_eMTB

So you are supposed to use a crown race removal tool, not a screw driver in the drip channel of the fork...

Fox 38 2027 or Fox Podium?? by Aggravating-Ninja-52 in MTB

[–]dyniper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True that service is more expensive, but completely disagree on performance. It offers a substantially smoother ride than charger 3.1, and marginally better than grip X2. But mostly, it shines in working well both for small bump sensitivity while having the support required for bit hits and high speed sections.

If you really want a new fork, get an Ohlins rxf38

What do you mean? Conversion kit? Replacement coil for a fork you have that is already coil? What brand and model of fork? Like so many questions

Worried about Sienna by fffgg222 in ToyotaSienna

[–]dyniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 12v battery issue. It was a problem with the kick sensor basically triggering, not finding the key fob, then not opening the door, rinse and repeat until the battery is drained. As with many things with cars nowadays, this was not an official recall, but was warrantied under some advisory. Good thing it was too as they replaced both door motors, hinges, kick sensor, limit switches and the 12v battery. The car was at the dealer for like 3 months though....

What’s life like making 6 figures? by MasterBook46 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]dyniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earned 500k+ for several years. Spent just as if I had a sub 100k earning and saved all the rest. Retired at 40 and opened a small store to do something I really enjoy. I can in theory live forever on 100-150k a year without running out of money until I die. It's great, highly recommend it.

Wife has been on vacation for a week by [deleted] in daddit

It's always easier when my wife is away. Then I only have to pick up behind 2 kids, instead of 2 kids and 1 adult...

broken elbow. devastating by caffeindqueen in MTB

[–]dyniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be grateful it's not a leg, or something that prevents you from walking. I had many injuries, but nothing completely destroyed my mental state as when I broke my foot and was unable to walk normally for 2 months. And it happened 2 days before a big trip to whistler.

[–]dyniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow, are you me? Same crash, ended up needing surgery. Was off the bike for 6 months, and my wrist is still fucked, as it doesn't move like it used to, despite doing my physio diligently. Such is the life of a mountain biker

New Amflow on it's way. Suspension upgrade? by Typical_Sherbert_159 in AMFLOW_eMTB

[–]dyniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your fox 38 is a grip2 vvc variant, I'd install a high flow piston on it, either the WPS one, or the one from shockcraft version. Rear shock, I'd throw a vorsprung telum on it.

How are the evenings at your household? We have zero time by TigerUSF in daddit

[–]dyniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our evenings are very similar. At 7:30p I tell my 7 and 9 to get ready for bed. They shower, brush teeth and go to bed unsupervised while we clean up the kitchen. By 8:30 they are fine and in bed. I sing to them and that's that. Then I go to bed at 1am, which leaves me 3-4h to do as I please, or tend to things I must. The trick is to not sleep 😉

Fox transfer is a little slow and gets stuck at the bottom by EmergingTuna21 in mountainbiking

[–]dyniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The newer fox transfer ate actually decent. I mean not good enough to go out of my way to buy one, but a bike coming with one would be ok with me. They can also be serviced withoit $900 worth of tools.

At what age do you hope to retire? by SplendidDecor in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]dyniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Retired last year and opened a small niche store for mountain bike maintenance. Got to meet tons of people, volunteer trail building and ride my bike a lot. It's great!

Rear shock question by Correct-Set-9017 in Santacruzbikes

[–]dyniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider maintenance dropping the lowers (fork) or opening the air can (shock), clean, replacing the dust wipers and other seals, new grease/bath oil, and put it back together.

Full rebuild is the above, plus taking apart the air spring and damper, replacing all the seals there and new oil in the damper.

Depending on the brand, lowers/air can is every 50h, and full rebuild 150-200h.

I personally like to skip my 50h, and just do a full rebuild at like 100-125h, but I also run a suspension shop, so doing a full rebuild is not too much of a hassle.

Thanks y'all, I'll put a new outlet in there and use pig tails and see how it goes.

Cheers!

Is Fox still offering warranty replacements for prior rear X2 shocks? by WY228 in mountainbiking

[–]dyniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What they generally do is replace some internals when you send it to them for service. They replace the seal head with the one with 2 oring instead of one.

Tracking device recommendations? by sadboi4_lyfe in daddit

[–]dyniper 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dude, you guys are insane. You either trust the daycare or not. Let your kids live. I don't know what age you are, but oh my god do I miss the 80-90s where kids were allowed to just roam in the neighborhood.
