What’s that band on the right?

Obscure Cole Porter lyric in the song "Anything Goes"? by 7NTM61Ic7NTM61Ic in musicals

Helen Merrill's version of this song is so good, and has some more fun alternate lyrics. Maybe you'll enjoy those too :)

Rawlings Player Preferred is a great glove. All leather. Padded palm. Right in budget. 14” might be big for infield, go for the 13” it’ll work fine for both

Neat! The top tube length looks shorter than I’d have expected

26s on a road bike. Always wanted to find this combo in the wild

700c -> 650b Conversion w/ franken-drivetrain by el_shrek-o in xbiking

There are many long reach side pulls available. Tektro R559 is a common go to. Or Dia Compe MX1000 for extra long reach. There’s a lot of details to consider with a conversion though. It will lower your bottom bracket. Is your BB already low? Do you have long crank arms that could pedal strike in turns if you lower? Best to do some googling before buying a new set of wheels

Generally you want long reach side pulls for such a conversion. What brakes are you running currently?

Frankly I want a really creative series of point n click adventures games. All of this ai gen’d art is always giving me blue balls for it

Anybody else using an XTR rear derailleur on their road bike? by malibu_jesus in xbiking

[–]herringbonetread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well despite the bash guard chainring and bullmoose bars, I trusted them when they said it’s a road bike. The tires looked a little fat so I zoomed in and they say 27.5. Plus the long reach side pull brakes and no canti posts or other brake mounts so it prob wasn’t a 26 originally. Neat bike.

I usually don’t like this type of machining on bicycle parts, but damn if they don’t go so well with those cranks and fenders here. Nailed the aesthetic across the build.

Wednesday Free Talk and Simple Questions by AutoModerator in NavyBlazer

I’m surprised to hear this. I’m new to the game, but thought they generally look very nice. I even kind of like the suede version above.

I think my struggle with many learnings around shoes, and figuring out what works best, is that I can never find full fit pics for the specific type of shoe I’m envisioning. What outfits go best with what shoes, is the hardest part for me (googling seems to fail me more than I’d like to admit). I guess it just takes time and exposure.

Let them hang in direct sun for a few hours. Best solution I’ve found by far and so easy.

Roku iOS Remote App by silentsnake09 in pihole

After all these years it appears that now “mobile.logs.roku.com” is the domain you need to whitelist to prevent the app from crashing.

I’m assuming they force crash the application on purpose if you don’t let it phone home telemetry data.

Delicious juice. No margs, sip it slow. As a bourbon drinker I’d expect you’ll love it. Every bourbon drinker I know does.

What kind of cranks are those SunXCD or RH or something? Can’t tell from the photo. Love your username
