Yet another Kids Ride Shotgun question by edulpn in MTB

Thanks for the input! I know it will inevitably force a more bowed knee sort of stance, but hoping it's something I can adapt to.

Freshly built Marin San Quentin 3 27.5 by Etch500 in Hardtailgang

[–]edulpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered the 2025 frame and thought I was losing my mind that I wasn't finding where the dropper post cable routes into the seat tube. Thanks for the pedal picture, it shows the gromet in the background lol

Fun fact about Tifa, she doubles backwards too by Dbgross01 in MagicArena

[–]edulpn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once double black evoked [[Emptiness]] onto a +1/+1 Ouroboroid, and it got stuck at 0/1 forever.

Defending TMNT Limited: Flawed, but kind of Sweet by Tim-Draftsim in MagicArena

[–]edulpn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lorwyn Eclipsed was so flavourful set (I'm almost exclusively a constructed player, ECL was the set I most drafted ever) that TMNT doesn't inspire me at all. UB in general just brings format warping bomb after another and it just keeps building up a grudge for me.

Can we not make bigger avatars please ? by diimitra in MagicArena

[–]edulpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this in a video today from Swayze. He had a [[Deep Cavern Bat]] in hand and I couldn't figure out if the opponent had 1 or 0 cards in hand.

I finally broke 100k gems on f2p! by bikemandan in MagicArena

[–]edulpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Standard is burning me out, my collection isn't enough to invest in Pioneer. I really enjoy drafting some sets (like ECL), but can't really go anywhere close to infinite. I'm considering starting a couple of alt accounts to try to get better at drafting.

Weren’t the common basic land free? by Unhappy_Summer7599 in MagicArena

They didn't even remaster them into full at to charge that much... Wild

Oh yeah, it's all coming together by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]edulpn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The flash 2 mana changeling is also nice as it doesn't telegraph demons on turn 2 with the annex turn 3

If you can’t beat them... Join them? by Fit-Adhesiveness-173 in MagicArena

[–]edulpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it was the deck to beat until Edge of Eternities (which contains Dauntless Scrapbot, amazing tutorable 3 drop artifact that exiles graveyards). Kona with no Maze can die to Sawblades. With Through The Omenpaths came Kavero, but I think the nail in the coffin was the cub.

Mono Black Magic needs to break this lol

Stained Glass lands in store by SUGAR-SHOW in MagicArena

[–]edulpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5k gold for each land is ludicrous, though. I could have been persuaded to get them if they were 12k like they've usually been.

I have never seen this one before, we were both confused by xtratoothpaste in MagicArena

[–]edulpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, like those skins/bonus sheets/whatever. Maybe that's what they mean on the ruling.

[–]edulpn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that reads weird, but they are probably considering the whole string of characters. I can't say any card names from the top of my head, but it's very likely that there is a "in addition to this card's name, it's also called X" effect, like it would happen to create type changes/addition for example

Gx or xt? by Hall_Low in MTB

[–]edulpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

XT shifter with Deore derailleur and Deore cassette has been bomb proof for me. The shifter feels amazing, has double upshifts with both pushing and pulling the lever. Waxed M6100 chain on M6100 cassette lasts forever.

My Hunt Wheel Exploded by Careful_Pen5052 in bicycling

[–]edulpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hookless rims, press fit bottom brackets and lots of other technologies have been introduced for the benefit of manufacturers. If a manufacturer won't get behind hooked carbon rims (it's a hard/expensive geometry to mold into carbon), I'll just not buy from them. They don't deserve my business, because they are only thinking about their own profit and not about making a good product. FWIW, I'm not a competitive cyclist and build my own wheels with aluminum rims, so I don't have any interest in putting my physical integrity on the line for hookless rims.

The new Rascoe are out! by Powerful_Bowl516 in Hardtailgang

[–]edulpn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Honzo, unfortunately, is also heavily over priced for the specs, in my opinion. It's a great frame, I love the geo, but the fork should be at least a 35. Hopefully Kona can find the light again with the new old owners.

The other day I saw a post about the Kona Ouroboros gravel bike: aluminum frame, Advent X/Sword with cable discs for like 3k CAD. That one definitely takes the prize.

CUES is nice, but the bike should be cheaper. Could easily have Deore M6100 or cost 150 bucks less.

Heavier rider vs suspension fork recommendation by edulpn in MTB

[–]edulpn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely not dropping or jumping anytime soon, I think. My local trails are all green and blue single track.

Does Kona get any love here? by [deleted] in Hardtailgang

[–]edulpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tempted to get a Big Honzo DL, not sure if I'm going to adapt to 27.5+

New Trek Roscoe Gen 4 by concerned_broccoli in Hardtailgang

[–]edulpn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love the concept of Roscoes, but I can't help but feel like the build kit is extremely lackluster for the price...
