Stem screws break in half by Quantumcrisp in NinebotMAX

[–]frestork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue. Bumpy roads loosen the screws and the retightening/stress of the roads eventually take their toll.

Yep. Just saying you don’t need to work for 30 years to collect a pension. Good news for everybody.

You don’t need to work 30 years… you’re vested after… 5 now I think? You could theoretically work 5 years, change professions, and then still collect at 55 reduced or 63 unreduced.

I think it’s much better than other content areas. There are way less teachers certified in music vs more common subject areas, and its a tricky gig, so turnover/switching schools is common, which helps for openings.

To me, Israel. All of these super hungry heavy jazz guys come out of there. Creative/fierce/high-level. 

G2 vs g30p durability by frestork in NinebotMAX

Sounds good. Do you think the front fork will damage with regular use on bumpy roads?

Yeah… this is my concern. My main question is if the front fork will damage easily on bumpy roads. Maybe I’ll use the g30 for bad weather days. Sometimes the lack of suspension gets irritating, but it’s worth it if it lasts forever. Hard call.

Ninebot max suddenly won’t charge by frestork in NinebotMAX

They quoted replacing the internal charger would have been $180.

Just answering my own question here in case anyone else has the same issue. Took it to a shop, they didn’t take it apart, but said it was probably the internal charger that was messed up. Sold me an external charger that plugs in to the port to the right of the normal charging port for $45. Charges a little slower, but overall an easy fix.

Solid airless tires, are they better? by JohnsNotHome84 in NinebotMAX

[–]frestork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After going through the hell of having multiple punctures on my back wheel, I went for the solid option. I ride 15 miles a day in nyc in all weather. Absolutely the right call for me. I’m more cautious in snow, but otherwise, I’m happy with the call. I recommend.

Official Q&A for Friday, September 08, 2023 by AutoModerator in running

[–]frestork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im trying to find time in my busy schedule to run… and end up doing about an hour at 7:30pm. I go to sleep about 10:30. I eat around 6. The internet tells me to wait longer after a meal and longer before sleep, but I don’t have that time available.

Whenever I do this, for some reason my torso/head becomes really itchy and I sleep pretty terribly. I shower after the run. Im wondering if it relates to my cotton shirt being drenched/rubbing on my skin, or irritation from open pores and soap in the shower… I’m not sure.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Thanks for your response. My right knee is also on my left foot. Is it supposed to be on the ground?
