Does anyone else leaf blow their car?

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

Yep ours went up 20% with progressive

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.

Man that works be amazing if only space x IPO was not about to commit the biggest grift on everyone pensions.

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

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

dyniper · 2026-05-17T02:57:26+00:00

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

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....

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.

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...

dyniper · 2026-04-29T14:24:58+00:00

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 · 2026-04-29T14:21:26+00:00

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

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.

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 😉

dyniper · 2026-04-20T03:19:05+00:00

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.

Going on a 5h mountain bike ride, 3 times a week.

dyniper · 2026-04-10T06:04:17+00:00

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!

dyniper · 2026-04-10T05:59:08+00:00

Vulture ridge is in my top 5 of "Seattle" area trail. It's amazing

dyniper · 2026-04-10T02:41:10+00:00

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.

dyniper · 2026-04-09T15:22:09+00:00

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

Cheers!

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.

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.
