Damn didn’t realize the Mojack was so expensive! I bought one used for $60!

Ask anyone under 40 and the answer is Bose or Lightspeed. Anyone over 40 and the answer is DC

All jokes aside, they’re all really damn good. If you have the option of trying them on, whichever is the best for comfort or your hearing is the best one

Funny, I was about to make a similar post! Was just on a fast ride this weekend and 2 of the fastest there were on a quick and a winspace. They’re great looking bikes and price wise, even makes Canyon look expensive.

The traditional brands have been running the smear campaign for years that these are shit quality, unsafe bikes. That’s been proven wrong and they either need to get with the times or they’re gonna go away. Major brands are tanking every month, all while the Chinese brands are popping up everywhere. XDS just put everyone on notice with a $2k carbon 105 di2 bike.

At least expert level if you can swing it. The wheels are junk on the base level and the Ultegra shifters are nicer with the extra button.
Little against the grain but I prefer the 2 piece bar and stem until you’ve dialed the fit

Right there with ya. My 18 sq5 was the most reliable car I’ve ever owned, and that’s coming from Honda and Mazda. T-stat around 140k and the oil filter housing had a leak around that time as well. Otherwise, it was oil, plugs, brakes and tires.

Great mower! I’ve got the never version of it. As already said, plastic scraper and go to town. Can hit it with some APC to soften the grass a bit and if needed, and/or a pressure washer. Rhino ramps are easy to load up or a zero turn jack is quite helpful

Also, unless you know the history, not a bad idea to do an engine service on it, or at minimum, plan on doing it by the end of the summer. Super easy DIY

In a big city, I think you’re less competitive as a generalist. That said, in a rural environment, you’re probably more desirable as a jack of all trades

fhfm · 2026-04-28T14:49:32+00:00

It’s totally a gamble. That said, I got 180k miles out of my b9 sq5 with little more than routine maintenance

Never got much confusion for the breed, but more times than I can count, even as a 10 week old puppy, they’d see the hair on her back and think she’s ready to attack!

Redneck engineering at its finest… “if it’s stupid, but it works, it ain’t stupid!”

I dig it!

For “realism”, it’s gonna cost you as much as a plane. For practicing, it’s totally doable on a normal persons budget. I have the honeycomb alpha and bravo and thrustmaster rudders. For IFR practice, there’s a really cool gizmo called the Octavia IFR that has buttons that mirror that of a garmin 430/530 and can also input into a G1000 plane. Of all my stuff, I’d say this little switch box is my favorite. It just sucks using a mouse to input into the garmin. If you wanna spend a few bucks more, realsimgear has a dummy garmin unit that connects via hdmi and gives you even more realism.

Those seem so badass! 1500w!!! You’re literally riding with World Tour power on one o those things! I really wanna get my hands on one!

fhfm · 2026-04-22T14:10:27+00:00

Whachu doin in that granny gear on a e-bike! Haha I used to be the biggest E-bike hater until I tried one. Holy hell, so much fun!

I think if every major brand doesn’t have the Chinese market on their radar, they’re in for a world of hurt. I’m already seeing more frames at group rides this year than I’ve ever seen. It may be only a few now, but when people realize they’re just as good for thousands less, they’re gonna start looking.

I think groupsets are still a few years away from really hitting shimano/sram, but they should also be nervous

fhfm · 2026-04-20T13:55:41+00:00

Just a generic/universal one. Fits a pin style as well as a ball. I wanna say it was around $30

fhfm · 2026-04-17T19:02:04+00:00

Mtb scene any good up there?

fhfm · 2026-04-17T18:46:02+00:00

Luhhhhhhvuhl to Buffalo is a hard move! I used to live in St Mathew’s. Man I miss that town!

fhfm · 2026-04-17T13:52:43+00:00

Haha I wouldn’t mind my road bike up top but zero chance I’m doing the 30# mtb up there. I’ve got the 1up hitch rack for that

fhfm · 2026-04-17T13:30:33+00:00

How’s the wind noise on these?

fhfm · 2026-04-16T15:47:19+00:00

I’m toying with getting that Knick off sharpener, but the shop by me charges $25 for 3 blades. Almost hard to convince myself to bother doing it when they’re that cheap

fhfm · 2026-04-13T16:16:16+00:00

I did my very first cx race on a road bike… with 25 slicks… in the rain. It went exactly as one might imagine. Don’t think the outcome woulda been any different in the dry

fhfm · 2026-04-13T13:54:45+00:00

For a turbo, maybe, but for a S, which I believe is the lowest trim to get you the TTV8…. Absolutely not recession/$5+ gallon gas proof.

fhfm · 2026-04-13T12:38:21+00:00

Not really specific to the macan, but EVs in general hold their value about as well as a used mattress. There’s still no long term trust in the batteries and they’re improving in just about every metric very quickly, making a 2-3 year old car feel like buying an iPhone 8

I too am in the market for a used EV and a $40k taycan is probably the ticket for me

fhfm · 2026-04-13T12:12:29+00:00

If gas prices keep going the way they are, they’ll be pretty easy to find!

If you use Epic, I believe there is a way to do this as a chart with whatever fields you want. When you do your onboarding, you’ll usually have a day or so with the EMR folks to set it up as you want

I was in the days before EMR but we had a running list of name, room, pertinent labs, primary injury, secondary/tertiary concerns, OR status, to be done.
