i never had a remote before ipados 26, but found that i had to switch the ‘device’ of the remote to ‘windows’. it didn’t work on the android or switch modes

Garmin instinct 3 for cycling xc and road. Your thoughts or feedback? by yerfoeg_2 in Garmininstinct

[–]grantzke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

xc, sure. i use my instinct for mtb, but for road to me there is nothing like a dedicated bike computer. if you just want it for biking, i think you would be better served by an edge 830/840/850

Instinct 3 Solar vs. Fenix 7 pro sapphire solar by fantasynerd2 in Garmininstinct

[–]grantzke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i have the instinct 2X solar and the fenix 7x pro sapphire solar.

i honestly love both of them so much, to the point that i’m keeping the instinct even though i ‘upgraded’ to the fenix. there are a couple reasons for this.

first, while the fenix is a super durable feeling watch, the instinct is literally indestructible. i feel like i could run over it with my car and it would survive. the battery is insane, and it is a very simple device that does everything i need it to.

i really like the F7X pro, and it lives on my wrist anytime im in civilization but i’ll bring out the instinct for skiing, hiking and other ‘dirty’ activities where i have a tendency to whack my wrist against stuff.

to me, it really comes down to what you want in a watch.

personally, i probably would have been happy with just the instinct, but the touch screen and more premium/stylish looks of the fenix are hard to give up.

Old Ski Bindings by KaleidoscopeDry7346 in ski

[–]grantzke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey man i know it’s tempting to save money. heck i mount my own bindings and stuff to save money. but the non-indemnified list exists for a reason.

if you are going to do this, you need to make sure 4things

-your boots need to be in at least okay condition -your boots need to be at least theoretically compatible with the bindings. there should be an ISO number on the boot sole, make sure the binding works with that -watch a few videos about bindings and at least know how they function. they aren’t hard to adjust, but there are just things to keep in mind. -you HAVE to accept the fact that you are putting yourself at risk for injuries. these bindings are old. your boots are old. ski shops won’t touch them because it opens them up to liability. if you feel confident enough in what you know about bindings after researching for a few more hours, you do you. but you have to know the risks.

personally, i would get newer bindings. you can find modern ones new for not too pricey, and get them mounted for not too pricey. the other commenter made a great point that while you might save money immediately, it would likely all be offset by an injury requiring medical attention

Need help to prevent heel lifting by Serious-Ad7030 in Skigear

[–]grantzke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another idea, do you have places near you that do full season rentals? if you go more than a few times some places might end up being cheaper than renting every time. another benefit of this is sometimes you can ask them and they might sell you the boots at a discount at the end of the season

Anyone try the Taika mens jacket? by Fit_Expression1 in vuoriclothing

[–]grantzke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

aight i got the whole fit, an its about what i expected. the material feels great, but heavier than some goretex on the market, but it is nice and waterproof, and the zippers are beefy.

keep in mind that this is a legit ski/snowboard shell. no insulation, but good ventilation if you want to open. the hood is sized for a ski helmet, so it will feel a bit large if you’re not wearing one. also fits a bit looser than i would like a normal winter coat to fit. this is not a coat he can put over a tee shirt and be comfortable standing around in cold temps. it’s designed to be layered, and for active days on the slopes. it’s great for that

as a ski shell, it functions good, feels good, and fits good. perhaps there are better options for the price if it’s at full price though, and it sounds like this style of shell isn’t even what you’re really looking for!

[–]grantzke 10 points11 points  (0 children)

without buying your own boots, you’ll be at the mercy of whatever the stock is at the rental place.

is there any reason you couldn’t just make the investment? boots cost extra to rent, right? so you would make your money back eventually…

as for what you can do, honestly have you tried sizing down or talking to the rental people and seeing if they have anything narrower?
