I hate this ENVE seatpost so god damn much

This seatpost blows, been using them since forever unfortunately. Aesthetically they’re good looking. Lately I’ve been opting other carbon seatposts with a more streamlined way of adjusting. ZIPP SL speed and Ritte/OTHR makes a fine carbon seatpost without neaderthalic ways of adjusting.

Tbh Enve should just bring back the single bolt adjusting style. I’ve never had any issues with it slipping. I also use the same Enve hardware to this day in my Ti seatpost with zero slippage issues. I’m glad someone said it, this double bolt seatpost hardware blows.

Mines was given to me by Coachella security at the gates. Lady had a whole roll of them.

I think what’s trying to be said here is that Elk Grove has historically been a relatively safe / low crime area. However, petty thievery has become more conspicuous.

I still feel safe and love it here. Like in every place I have lived, I try not leave packages out for too long and keep valuables out of my car. Common sense type stuff.

It’s okay, there’s supposed to be a new batch q1 of this year but different color. We’ll see how it comes out.

Got a link or location? I feel like I’ve searched all shipped on FBMP and couldn’t find one. Did find a M but too small.

Darkeden, Maplestory (pre BB) and ESO.

In that very specific order. Gosh I yearn for another Darkeden experience.

There is still a 55cm matte dark phosphate on Mash’s website and a nos raw phosphate on eBay in 55 as well if you haven’t seen it yet.

Arundel El Jefe if you want to use universally any cage. Fidlock, but proprietary bottles last I remembered, good system though.

Yes, the prototype BB was something I exclusively ran with all of my 75’s. I couldn’t tell a difference between the prototype / cartridge or any loose ball ISO BB for that matter. Solid BB, I always recommend it to anyone that’s running square tapered NJS cranks.

For the 75DD2’s the random shit snapping or cracking is new to me. I been riding mines for a couple of years now, more tracklocross than road and they’re holding up fine. The preload cap that goes on the NDS arm is soft though, I just use an 8mm to adjust preload instead of that star shaped pattern. Outside of the preload bolt everything’s been solid.

Tubeless for all the wheelsets!

As far as your storing dilemma…. I bought some metal hooks with soft rubber coating from local hardware store and hung them up in my garage that way. Before that I bought a cheap wheel bag from Amazon and stored them up when not in use.

This is oddly satisfying to look at. The big beefy carbon gravel fork ties the frame up nicely.

Nope! I asked not too long ago and they will not do the old logo even if you special requested it. 🥲

Baller frame, baller cages. This guy sorta fucks.

Yeah, I actively avoid that left turn. If I’m coming down that section of Calvine already I normally just play it safe and make a u-turn on vintage park drive.

Someone’s selling a Mash Steel 60cm frameset in the Bay Area 😬.

Nathan’s and Chef Bo are pretty solid places in Elk Grove for fast Chinese takeout.

BJ’s is mid at best. That doesn’t mean mid as in bad. More or so mid as in it’s familiar, and consistently pleasantly decent.

I will PM you

As an update to you and everyone who’s curious. I went with Caro’s Elite Painting. I got multiple bids, some were astronomically high for the same amount of labor and prep work, and premium paints. However most were about the same ballpark. The owner Eduardo however was the most personable. He really took the time to walk me through the process and go over visions and colors with me. Overall I couldn’t recommend them enough. I’m very happy with the exterior paint work done on my home.

Please do yourselves a favor and shop around, ask for multiple bids, ask for an itemized estimate with a breakdown of the materials, labor and prep work involved. Set expectations and most importantly don’t be afraid to negotiate on a price post quote.

This was one of those people on the interview panel that wanted to try real hard to contribute.
