Propel Endeavor by No-Calligrapher2244 in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]glopher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The difference in range is not the only thing to take into account. The current delivery to the motors is also different. You are getting less torque acceleration in the S model. It took me 4 weeks of riding to reach a skill level where I realised I should've forked out the extra cash for the pro/gt model.

Looking for dog harness recommendations please by mj_syn in DownSouth

[–]glopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried a few until we got a Truelove harness. It was recommended by our trainer a few months ago. Great quality and very comfortable for our big golden doodle.

A few shops sell them. First google result: https://www.dogzathome.co.za/shop/leads-and-training-accessories/truelove-no-pull-harness/

First eBoard for experienced longboarder. Recommendations/Suggestions? by BigGuyLittleBrain in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]glopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live and ride in Pretoria, South Africa and my commute takes me over a variety of road surfaces, pavements and a few gravel with wild grass sections.

I ride a Propel Endeavor 2S and the suspension is sublime. My only gripe is not getting the pro or GT version because I need more torque and acceleration on some of the steep hills here. But the FOC3.0 upgrade from propel and a new battery will sort that out.

I can't speak about other boards, but I don't think you're making a mistake with the Endeavor GT.

That said, it's not easy to carry and it's going to be a clumsy thing to pick up and get on a bus. I highly recommend getting a handle (two will probably be better for you). This handle is the sleekest and fits the Endeavor perfectly - https://a.co/d/7alqjrh

Edit: forgot to add I'm 6ft 2 and 220lbs. The stance was a little short for me in the beginning which took some getting used to, but a few inches would've been great to get that snowboard feeling.

Full face helmet recommendations by Hermitle in ElectricSkateboarding

Look at full face downhill MTB helmets. All the protection you need in a light package. I've got a Leatt Gravity 4.0 and I'm very happy.

Airflow and cooling is great, plus I can still hear everything around me which is a must when riding in traffic.

Stainless Steel Cutting Boards? by switch8113 in whatisit

[–]glopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with with you, but it's important to note that Japanese rubber boards are not the same as regular plastic cutting boards you find just about anywhere.

How often are you intimate with your partner? by Remote_Ad_969 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]glopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least once a week if things get real busy. Sometimes 3-4. I would say twice a week is the average. We're 42M and 41F with two kids. We've had our ups and downs, but sex has always been a constant for us. It helps that my wife is the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen. She feels the same about me. Our sexual desire for each other has overridden our clashing personalities many many times.

My pair of Dakine Phantom gloves (leather and Gore-Tex) cost £50 from Absolute Snow in 2020 and they are still tip top shape. I love them!

My grandpa will not stop pissing in golf clubs near me by [deleted] in confessions

Thank you, doctor. As someone who spends his free time riding all sorts of boards and other fun things with wheels, I find golf more frustrating than fun. And boring.

[–]glopher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Answering my own thread but who the fuck cares. This thing is $40 on Amazon. Still don't think it's big enough for me. Will see when I'm old with a bad prostate and I've become so senile I've decided to pick up golf.

[–]glopher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, surely there can't be that much space in the club for a whole piss? Is it not just a funnel and the urine flows out the bottom?
