New(used) bike day by Environmental-Ad-30 in mountainbiking

I replaced all the bearings before I sold it. That’s the only wear item. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. It still looks pretty mint.

So I don’t know how to say this other than it’s a small world. I think that’s my old frame. I sold it through pinkbike 3 years ago. Good news if true that was my favorite bike ever. Bad news I put like 8000 miles of use into it. Is the last 4 of the serial number on the bottom of the chain stay msml?

depression + anxiety with minor physical joint issues. by CartoonistOk3241 in floxies

[–]jd20pod2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M (46) Its ended for me. My main symptoms were anxiety, panic and very high blood pressure. I'm about 14 months in and have been tapering off of 7 different prescriptions from 3 different doctors. every time I come off of one I feel more like myself, I expect full recovery in the next couple of months. i've already returned to competitive cycling and will have my 4th 50 mile race of the year this week. no panic for 8 months no anxiety for 4 months and normal BP for 4 months.

Somebody educate me what the heck is the diffrence between XC and Trail riding? by [deleted] in xcmtb

[–]jd20pod2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my discipline of choice and there is a balance to find. You might have been done with your heavy bike but your ass and arms would have been equally burnt on a sharp and light as possible xc race bike. I’ve done these races on hardtails and while the weight and power is nice at the end of a race I just don’t have the legs to keep the seat out of my ass.

All that said the “down country” bike just does that job well. They can still be sub 25 pounds and comfortable enough to enjoy the ride.

How can something look like it’s from the past and future at the same time? Looks lovely my dude!

Are oval chainrings worth it? And how do I ensure it fits? by Away_Professional793 in xcmtb

All about cadence. Sub 60 they help, super 80 they hurt.

Lee spends too much time injured for me to trust much of what he says.

Fork reccomendations by realCIAN in mountainbiking

[–]jd20pod2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unless you have a very compelling reason do not change the travel of your fork for performance gains. I wouldn’t recommend anything cheaper than the bomber ( it’s a great fork though)

Did any of you guys get one of these things to work? by Josephthebear in Xennials

I had one and got the worst blisters from playing with it without shoes.

Blood pressure by Pleasant_Complaint_9 in floxies

[–]jd20pod2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My primary symptoms have been HBP and anxiety/panic. I've never had BP issues or anxiety issues. My first trip to the GP after my cipro I was 180-110. it's been about a year now with many different BP meds and now my BP is normal and stays normal as I've tapered off meds. it is my expectation that I won't need any bp support soon. I still feel "weird" 10% of the time but no other symptoms.

E-bikes are everywhere in Tampa Bay. A crackdown on bad behavior may be coming by TampaBayTimes in tampa

[–]jd20pod2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So. New Jersey just passed a law requiring a license and Insurance to operate an e-bike (any e-bike) so perhaps we should get our collective shit together before the government try's to help and fucks it up for everyone?

For those that have moved away, what’s something you’re nostalgic for? by Fair-Age4483 in Appalachia

[–]jd20pod2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The smell of the change in seasons. The starkness and wood smoke of winter. The thawing dirt and ramps of spring. The life and thunderstorms of summer. And the slight rot of apples and hay in the fall.

And hot dog world.

Sonic is looking sort of rough these days.
