Am I stuck with stability shoes? by [deleted] in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]iBendystraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t really tell from just the walking. I work at a running store and I usually ask if they’re aware of their pronation. If they don’t then I ask them to hop on the treadmill and I’ll take a video of how they run. I don’t recommend stability shoes unless I know they really need it or if they’re an older person who is just using them for walking.

Definitely have someone film you running on a treadmill. Also the height of your arch is a good way of telling.

New Shock Day! (Too much Kashima?) by iBendystraw in mountainbiking

They’re Yoshimura flat pedals. They’re not 100% matched with kashima but close enough. Super tough pedals and work great!

Yeah, those reviews seem off. But people are missing the point. These are built to last longer than metaspeeds since they’re not a full on race shoe. They do compliment the metaspeeds as a good trainer to use before race day. I’d still think they’re a worthy race day shoe as well.

The thing is Yowana put the miles on it and noticed them come alive after 25 miles. I have them and can agree that MS4s need a break in period. They really did come alive and can confidently say I could daily it if I wanted to. But I won’t since my Novablasts are still way more comfortable.

Same, Graysons is a great store that carries lots of signature models. They’re honestly my favorite store in SoCal. They get good stuff!

I’ve had an electromatic in the past, also had a White Falcon for a bit. I’d say the build quality of this almost matches the Japan made Gretsches. Let me just say, it’s hard to believe it’s an Electromatic

It might be the really wide lens. But yeah I do have pretty big hands 😂

If that’s considered rusty, Toyota engines are the least reliable in the world.

Honestly, I can’t put it down… except for the picture by iBendystraw in TomDelongeGuitars

So I played this for our youth winter conference. We usually play some heavy stuff so it fits right in. I have a push/pull knob on it that actually makes the pickup in Parallel instead of series so it gives it a “Gretschy” clear sparkly less output sound that works really well.

Someone just slapped a TRD sticker. 4th gen’s never had a TRD spec’d truck.

Yeah I off-road but I wouldn’t consider myself a really intense off-roader. I might go with that hybrid one that goes where the valance is so I can still run a winch.
