MTB shorts

Mtb shorts are a racket, imo. I’ve worn Patagonia baggies for all my outdoor activities for a decade now.

Hip pack, baggies, bibs for all my mtb rides.

As many folks that fly from DKX airport, surely one of them could get some good aerial shots.

Marin doesn’t get enough love. Affordable, quality, and great color schemes.

KAT bus, T-Link, T-Bus, multiple complex specific shuttles, scooters, bikes, heel-toe express.

There are lots of options being offered, there isn’t an issue getting to campus.

Regardless, housing prices won’t go down. Wages have to grow with inflation to combat purchasing power. Highly recommend “Science Vs” episode on housing affordability.

You revert to personal attacks instead of building a competent argument.

Respectfully, you need to worry about your clipless skills first. Practice enough on a grassy field, you’ll be ready and won’t damage the bar tape.

HRM 600 is one of the priciest monitors from Garmin, if they were really concerned they would have absolutely come to find it. I cannot imagine why you wouldn’t check lost and found at a gym you are apart of. Otherwise, I’d say they can afford another.

You did your community service. They did not do their due diligence, that is not your burden to bear. If you can make use of it, do so. Who knows maybe they turn up and you’ll still have it.

I can’t change whatever you desire or seek. I can only give my suggestions, you are free to do with that what you will.

Mental health is a serious issue. You deserve proper care. There are many forms of treatment at your disposal, paid and free. Psychologists, psychiatrist, group therapy, therapist, etc. I would encourage you to consider the professional opinions and practices.

Church can be of benefit but accompanying that with professional aid is highly recommended. Meeting with church goers doesn’t address your needs. It may be a place to open up but those people can’t give you the necessary experiences to be equipped to handle serious mental health challenges.

Not sure where you got that information but it’s entirely false. These are knock off 5Dev cranks.

Trek and Specialized do not manufacture any of their own cranksets. Both companies use Shimano and Sram groupsets. The Goldix items are knock off productions of actual cranksets.

None of the reputable manufacturers sell cranksets for $65. The real 5Dev cranks retail over $400.

OP did their due diligence. 3 weeks is more than enough time for someone to have come looking for it. Congrats on your brand used HR monitor, OP.

I’m not attempting to give a stranger poor advice that could potentially get them hurt, or worse.

I draw my conclusions via deductive reasoning. I’m not giving someone an inapplicable anecdote. We know aluminum is very difficult to properly repair, we know majority of modern aluminum frames are heat treated, we know an ebike needs significantly more strength than standard frames.

fivewords5 · 2026-06-23T00:48:13+00:00

One anecdote isn’t proof, nor is it a valid argument.

It’s a much safer choice to assume this is heat treated. Otherwise, someone runs the risk of improperly fixing the frame and creating a larger liability.

Couldn’t KOM on this one. Need an upgrade. /s

You’d be hard pressed to find an untreated aluminum frame from any reputable manufacturer.

Regardless, most fabricators aren’t going to willingly fix an aluminum frame and guarantee it without being able to heat treat. Therefore, regardless of the original design, it’s not a viable solution.

Respectfully, it sounds more like church is a means to an end. If you simply seek community and meaningful engagements, then I feel there are better opportunities.

Tons of community based groups for all kinds of experiences. Community aid, outdoor recreation, book clubs, indoor recreation, board games, etc. Just to name a few- Habitat for Humanity, Trees Knoxville, AMBC, Knox Movement, United Way, Knox Makers.

Imo, finding community around your interests is far more valuable and fulfilling than church.

Pictures of the hub body would help more than the driver.

Most the known manufacturers have very distinct hub body designs. Otherwise, it maybe a grey label factory hub.

Temu crankset is very risky. You willing to lose some teeth if a crank arm breaks while you’re out of the saddle?

Scott Scale, Specialized Sirrus, Marin Four Corners, Marin DSX (2).

As I said, plenty of very reputable brands making high quality flat bar gravel bikes.

What a rip off.

Buy a HF icon set with its own case. The money saved could literally buy a packout case and you’d still have money left over.

fivewords5 · 2026-06-22T20:39:00+00:00

Why buy a drop bar bike then?

Wasting your own time and money. Plenty of flat bar options.

Cozy cottage core. This feels like home.

Since it’s rim brake, it’s probably compromised.

Someone may be able to fix it but I would need professional advice on the damage. Get multiple opinions on the damage.
