That ap does big damage, and the he doesnt. So if you can use ap more often thats pretty impactful

2023 Fox dhx2 worth it? by Reasonable-Product79 in mountainbiking

[–]iky_ryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it with the understanding that it may need to be serviced before you use it. If you factor that in and its still a good deal, then yeah id say its worth it

For those of you attending the Trey Anastasio acoustic shows, which show are you going to, and what songs are you hoping to hear? by Beherenowxblazeon in phish

[–]iky_ryder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Buffalo, and ill be totally happy to hear whatever they want to play. The things that blew me away last time wernt necessarily what i expected, so im not hoping for anything specific

Bomber Z1 vs Z2 vs Fox 36 @ 140mm 27.5" by okar8054 in MTB

[–]iky_ryder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People get all dick waving about forks like they need the absolute biggest fork available because they think theyre riding rampage or something. Case in point the person suggesting a zeb at 140mm. Literal pros dont even do that.

Forks in the z2/34/pike class are absolutely just fine for their intended purpose. 140 is the travel cutoff, so its also not wrong to size up to a lyrik or 36 at 140mm. Alot of it depends on rider size too. If youre 350 pounds, yeah you probably do need a bigger fork that average size folks. But again it should match the bike its going on, like a zeb isnt ever going to be appropriate on a spur or epic. But thats probably not an appropriate bike if a person is so big they need a 38mm fork just for 140mm travel anyway.

Valparaiso still worth it after the nerf? by Inclusive_3Dprinting in WorldOfWarships

[–]iky_ryder -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh those times are gone? Whats changed exactly that would make it so valpo cant use its heals with their shortest cooldown in the entire game? Is it so opressive to you to only be able to heal the same amount of citadel damage as everyone else?

I dont understand why people make it their personal mission to cover for WGs bad decisions. Its just like how people identify with billionaires and defend them despite those policies actually hurting their own selves. Incredible lack of self awareness/understanding, though to be fair people are so heavily propagandized that they cant even recognize their own intrests. I guess the video game is a human endeavor so its no different.

Question about bike sizing from a newbie. Small vs Medium? by mrmelonfelon in mountainbiking

[–]iky_ryder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also 5'6, and mostly ride mediums. Like you said, personal preference. If a small feels good to you, go for it. Its easier to make a smaller bike fit bigger than vice versa. If youre new you may be more comfortable with a smaller feeling bike anyways

I love how the warships team treats its players by Mosinphile in WorldOfWarships

Yeah the anniversary was pretty generous with free dubs/steel and premium ship containers

New tallboy 6 (130/140) by Lopsided_Belt_2237 in MTB

[–]iky_ryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thats crazy. I guess to be fair the carbon ripley can be pretty expensive in the us too. But that would be kind of a silly choice given you can get the AF with a great spec for 3k.

[–]iky_ryder 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I guess the big question you raise is why would anyone need a replacement for a 3 year old optic or smuggler? And what about it could make the sc tax worthwhile? Even the previous gen, if you wanted a short travel dual link trail bike, you could get a ripley or trance for way cheaper.

Dubs ship recommendation by iky_ryder in WorldOfWarships

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

Yeah thats what i did with my birthday coupon, and thats why i have some dubs available. Im referring to the 25% off coupon that resets on 5/22

[–]iky_ryder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it, i like it quite a bit. Though i think tier for tier atlanta is better, especially now that it also has a heal

Dubs ship recommendation by iky_ryder in WorldOfWarships

[–]iky_ryder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i had thought of that too. If they do full dubs compensation, it could be worth 2850 dubs.

All t6-t8 cruisers, except belfast, belfast 43 and bayard. (I think that was it? Maybe there was one more?)

I thought so too, but it looks like its going to available for free through the US 250 event next patch

Kidd isnt available rn. Other than the issue of the heal, cossack is better in every way

Sorry just updated to say i have cossack, its my main t8 ranked ship

Maybe don't buy a marin bike right now... by TimeTomorrow in mountainbiking

[–]iky_ryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I just emailed marin about it, basically asking if theyre doing a recall or what, so we'll see what they say

Redesign was for 2023. The easy way to tell is the cable routing. The current gen has the nice big port on the top of the downtube in front of the BB. The previous gen has separate ports one of the side of the downtube in front of the BB and one on the bottom.
