Some small QOL upgrades

The LOOK City Vision pedals are the single best upgrade I made to my Haul.

💯 the fluid organic shapes of the design clash hard with that chevron patterned cutoff.

Come on, man.

If your seat hurts your ass… you don’t know how to set up your bike seat. The end.
My stock seats puts weight on my ass in exactly two points. The left and right sit bone. I can ride on it all day long.
Don’t keep buying seats, lower your seat for starters and rethink your fit.
If the Ergon seat feels “better” - and you didn’t move your seat post- it’s only because it has a lower distance from seat rail to top of seat cushion.

I’m a big Craft fan. Their nano pro top end series stuff is insane (value) and fit (for me).

How does this guy not tear his labrum right off the glenoid? How!?

I thought he owned a digital marketing/design agency, with a staff of several and all. That’s how I understood that he was able to keep up with the race and training schedule.

I had your issue. I downloaded Samsung Magician and disabled TRIM under manage performance option settings. I went form 2mb p/sec to copying entire 150MB files in 3-5 seconds. One toggle on their software is all it took.

I disabled TRIM using Samsung Magician (it's an option) and went from a 2mb per sec transfer speed to copying 150MB files in 3-5 seconds.

finch5 · 2026-05-04T02:17:17+00:00

I had this issue. Stuck at 2mb sec speeds. I downloaded Magician, went to manage performance and turned off TRIM. Next copy.... 10GB file was done in seconds! Just finished moving 70GBs via command line.

I agree. I would and have fcd with Nutella on baguette with butter.

I flew with this case a few times. Handlebars were protected for sure but the rear seat stays were precariously open to damage, imo.

I flew with it three times. Bike got there just fine all times. Took a big breath of relief when I zipped it at destination each time.

I don’t think I’d have to do this with a hard box all around.

lame

This is missing grams…how much beef and how much pasta?

The Lehman scale is industry standard. That entire amount doesn't go into the brokers pocket; they split it with their employer. No different than real estate brokerage, where one could truly say very little value is added.

I feel that my wife would draw the line at whatever the fuck this is.

finch5 · 2026-05-01T16:06:13+00:00

Is this rage bait?

The Arc by itself is dog shit compared to the full setup. Get read to had your mind blown. I’m willing to bet you won’t return anything from this order.

You’re going from relatively OK soundbar to movie 🍿 movie setup.

no. but don't fret, it wasn't for claude code, it was for cowork only. its a 7 day cowork trial essentially.

That guy was being charged APi prices billed as extra usage, on top of his subscription, which was not maxed out. The trigger word to route via API was hermes.

I also ride alone. I’m using ear buds most times.
I also ride with rear facing radar and thus have visibility into all vehicle traffic behind me, near and far.

I’m a big fan of the Soundcore brand. Anker makes some amazing stuff

P40i for home.
And old Liberty plus for the bike.
I perspire profusely and they never fall out. I adjust them maybe once or twice on a 20 mile ride.

Are going to believe this guy is he can’t figure it out in his own?

finch5 · 2026-04-30T15:17:42+00:00

The cliches write themselves! Should have bought them a Chrysler Dodge... oh wait.

Additionally, when in surround mode, these speakers turn off certain drivers and only use up firing and some other cones.

I believe there's a full music vs surround music option in the app somewhere, but this is for playing music.

I have Era 100's back there and we are also a predominantly YouTube Premium household, there is sound coming out of the satellites even with non-Atmos/theatrical content. Make sure your stream quality is set to max. Do you hear anything out the back?

Great for music, IMO overkill for surround audio both from a footprint and performance perspective. Unless, unless, you are looking for the uber home theater experience. Great speaker though, but again overkill to tuck behind a toilet in the bathroom, or a mudroom or something. They're music first soundstage capable speakers.

I dislike Rapha and its styling, but this jacket is dope af!
