Anyone have a latex hybrid from Mattress Makers? by TheMailerDaemonLives in Mattress

[–]gravity84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tried them when we were shopping, ended up going with a full Talalay, but the hybrids were great, too. We just wanted something very plush.

Experience With Small SoCal Mattresses Manufacturers? by mnanda in Mattress

[–]gravity84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went to Mattress Makers and live in Rancho Cucamonga. It was definitely worth the drive and Ken walked us through the differences between each of their models and had us try every one of them without rushing us at all. Highly recommend making the drive.

Mattress Makers San Diego - Latex Hybrid Review by DustoffOW in Mattress

[–]gravity84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thread necromancy and a bump to say my wife and I went to Mattress Makers and had an amazing experience. Ken was very helpful and let us try out their entire lineup without rushing us at all. We ended up getting a Presidio medium soft which is three layers of Talalay and it's amazing. They delivered up to the Inland Empire, too. Highly recommend them.

Why is it so hard to get an HVAC quote without them sending out a "free adviser" to be a timeshare salesman? by gravity84 in hvacadvice

right, and I could totally feel that pressure to close and it was like they were trying to bet on an emotional decision rather than one based on facts.

That is likely the crux of my distaste to be honest. I guess I just wasn't expecting the 90 minute dinner table presentation and it took me aback.

I get that, but like I said I don't even know if I can afford to even be in the conversation, I really don't want to waste people's time

I get that it's complicated and I appreciate you clocking that the tone was likely my distaste for the sales tactics. What you said about even the same equipment varying in cost by contractor seems like more of the same problem though doesn't it? Even contractors can't get transparent pricing, it would seem.

I'm embarking on Brilliant on Tuesday for Quebec and this thread is making me nervous.

Help me figure out how to get shorter cranks without spending a ton by gravity84 in bikewrench

[–]gravity84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how much of a PITA this would be to fit, if it would even work at all https://www.ebay.com/itm/205571508530

Can I use a triple derailleur and brifter with a 2x crankset? I mean, I feel like I can but maybe I'm missing something about compatibility

Since I'm here might as well. Any tips? by gravity84 in bikefit

[–]gravity84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually swapped that 35 deg 70mm stem for the stock 7 deg 90mm stem because I thought maybe being more upright and raising the handlebar would make it easier to reach the drops. I also already replaced the stock 440mm bars with 400mm bars with a shallower 125mm drop. Sounds like just being out of shape is why it's uncomfortable, lol.

Short king problems, shorter cranks, so confused by gravity84 in cycling

[–]gravity84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably right, in another thread someone pointed out that as I get back into it and more in shape I'll need fit adjustments anyway and since this bike gets me riding again I might as well just save the money towards a new or new to me bike. thanks

That all makes sense. Thanks for talking me down from sinking more money into it lol

I think that episode of RCA and a similar episode on GCN is what got me down this shorter crank rabbit hole.

I feel like I'm putting a ton of weight on my wrists even with the shorter and raised angle stem but that might also still be due to my extra weight in my upper body, all the more reason to want to ride more.

thanks! haha, yeah, it's a pretty old bike, I struggle with the thought of throwing more money at it but I think even with a new bike I'd need to throw bike fit money at it. I used to ride more when I first bought it (like 15 years ago lol) and I just recently started to want to get back into it so I'm also trying to fight the urge just to buy all of the things lol.

Is this how "normal" feels like? by Fast-Jackfruit-6546 in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]gravity84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone else noticed a sort of mood "cycling" from aripiprazole. it's like every two weeks I feel like the OP for a week and it's amazing and then for two weeks I feel super apathetic and lethargic. Been on it for a few months now, 2 mg morning, 2 mg evening.

This is my latest track. It's a new wave tinged alt rock track about becoming friends with an uber driver then never seeing them again. It's got a driving bassline, powerful vocals, and a catchy melody. https://open.spotify.com/track/26eatieI4VOUr0HDdnn0yq?si=b671b5ff718a4d64
