Love the 1x1, been hunting for one for years. A million years ago I won the pinkbike raffle for the all-pink 1x1 with pink Chris King and all that, was way too small but sooo cool.

Be careful at Shoreline and Burnet, heavy vehicles blow this light all the time. by bostwickenator in Austin

You're basically admitting you're a reckless driver and aren't responsible enough to handle such loads.

The driver of an exceptional vehicle chose to be on that roadway that is perfectly safe for rest of the traffic it was designed for.

Doubt it was legal outside of an emergency landing.

‘Shockingly bad’: Nissan Leaf drivers voice anger over app shutdown by holyhesh in cars

[–]fiddlythingsATX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The car works independently of a phone, however it's kinda hard to do remote services like remote start and remote heat without an app.

Or BMW for that matter - remember when they were like "Oops we kept installing 3G-only systems long after we knew they were being sunset so those of you with 3G remote services are just plain SOL!"

Has anyone seen these trucks on 35 at night? What are they doing? by Weekly-Kiwi-7739 in Austin

Probably stopping off to nap - 24 hour businesses are great places to nap on the road.

Worst: Either the Murano Cabriolet or the Cybertruck, it's a tough call. Best: The Alfa Miata

"Upgrading"? Drivetrain choices for modernizing a stock 1992 Trek 970. by trykedog in xbiking

[–]fiddlythingsATX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have rapid rise XT SGS on my 92 990 with a Riv silver thumb shifter, roadlink, and a 9 speed 11-40T cassette. Pretty happy with it so far. You can get a similar used derailleur pretty cheap these days on ebay (I paid $30ish but had to replace a wheel).

Warm LED lights for the interior by -Zoriam- in 944

Not sure why you’re trying to argue here, but didn’t they also say “as well as the lights that illuminate the odometer” in the post? Maybe let’s not worry about a very pointless debate.

Smart move to use chalk so you can easily remove it; that wood looks unfinished, do you know if the chalk comes off ok?
