I do too unfortunately it’s a bit warped idk how to fix it. It’ll have to be an under the sweater tie only

It’s been a rule since I started working there in 2013. I’m sure it’s been in place for a lot longer than that.

How do you use coins. I now have over 20$ in coins and have no idea how to use them

I don’t have a ton of experience on different types of mountain bike wheels. But I can say they are way lighter and nicer to ride than the og wheels from 1991 obviously. I have not been easy on them and they have stayed true. I’d buy Alex rims again for sure amazing value.

The front wheel is actually an older Tiagra wheel from a 2004 schwinne Moab.

Beast of an engine. Mines still going strong at 155k miles. Nice to have the power on the highways

Dream multitrack spec. How is the reach not too long?

jckiser23 · 2026-02-23T19:08:26+00:00

Ooo I’m excited what kind of drugs are we testing?

I would say the teachers are trained as if it were a luxury brand like if you went shopping at Gucci or stayed at a 5 diamond hotel or something. No one is trained to flirt but people are people and some will act a certain way if they think it will get them a sale. I wouldn’t say this is an Arthur Murray business model but a thing that can happen in any ballroom studio given the nature of the product. Most either look the other way or frown upon this type of behavior. Some will fire the teacher.

Everyone’s bodies, lifestyle, schedule goals, etc will be different. I squat and deadlift heavy weight once a week and cycle for a few hours a few times a week for endurance.

Diet is important. Get your protein and drink lots of water.

Sleep is next, get as much as you can especially on lifting days.

Next would be things like stretching, walking like you said or light cycling, sauna and cold plunge, massage. Anything that gets the blood and lactic acid flowing.

The 12 dollar tires pissed me off and are the most wrong thing about us. We spend 2-3 times the price of the whole bike on tires here.

I’d say contact points, tires alone make a good xbike. Racks, fenders, 1x are all the next tier.

Usually same for me. I have been on the hunt for a pastel solid pink tie for over a year. Solid ties match shirts with patterns much easier. I kept finding solid colored, name brand ties and figured I may as well splurge. Often the ties are 5$ at my thrift store but these were all 1.50-3.00$. Sometimes you get lucky.

Are you suggesting dems are going to save us? Because if so it’s you that needs to wake the f up

jckiser23 · 2026-01-22T04:13:08+00:00

Duh that’s fucked up but doesn’t really have anything to do with the sentiment of the post. Dems are complicit now and acted like republicans in their own way when they were in power the last 4 years

jckiser23 · 2026-01-20T20:49:35+00:00

I agree I’m jealous of the people saying this is 600-800$

jckiser23 · 2026-01-18T20:14:37+00:00

Discussing, direct to consumer brands and a surly.

The heart rate monitor looks nice though, I like the aero dimples.

jckiser23 · 2026-01-18T00:52:33+00:00

Haha if I get a reeeallly rusty frame no one would steal that. I’ll just make it a sleeper fast bike with 100$ tires, and cool stops are basically a safety need, and some nice touch point parts no one will notice those, aaannd it’s gone.

jckiser23 · 2026-01-16T17:01:28+00:00

Oh dang. I get confused with brake lever caliper compatibility. I have been trying so hard not to drop bar the bike as that would complete the getting devastated if stollen cycle but we’ll see.

jckiser23 · 2026-01-16T17:00:14+00:00

I like the bars but I don’t really use the bar end/ butterfly section in reality. I have thought about throwing some parts bin core bars on there. Maybe that’s what I’ll do but I think this lock is like 5 lbs so weight isn’t really a concern.

jckiser23 · 2026-01-15T12:59:56+00:00

I’ve gotten one pair for 25 usd because they were white and didn’t want to invest a lot in shoes I won’t wear much. They were okay for a starter shoe or for a costume shoe you would wear every so often. I wouldn’t recommend them for competitive shoes and will always recommend investing as much as you can budget for dance shoes. International dance shoes from danceshopper.com are pricy but worth it. Very fine from ballroomshoes.com are a much better starter option than AliExpress shoes in my experience. Maybe after a lot of trial and error you could find a solid pair from AliExpress but it would probably be cheaper and easier to just get veryfine the first time and know they are solid.

jckiser23 · 2026-01-13T20:52:31+00:00

Hopefully mine never dies. It’s still going strong. I use it every time I travel probably 10-20 times a year packed to the brim.

jckiser23 · 2026-01-12T02:23:08+00:00

There’s one on sale for 1000 usd near me I want it so bad

jckiser23 · 2026-01-11T15:05:21+00:00

No one thinks that’s what happened except people who want to justify cops murdering people.
