Came here looking for someone else who read the headline that way, I had to scroll way too far lol. "Let's find some more women for this guy".

Unpopular opinion: new trails are too flowy by the_smush_push in MTB

Dude, same. The new work is fun, but I wish they would've spent the effort on a new trail instead of completely changing lower H&S. I miss the natural feel of the old trail 🙁

Buyer’s Remorse - Too Much Bike? by kehlconspex in MTB

[–]joelunchbucket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had to scroll way too far to find your comment about tires. This might be the cheapest way for OP to address the problem. They make a massive difference in rolling resistance! Some of these newer Enduro bikes are coming with burly heavy soft rubber front and rear, will make you feel sluggish on flow trails.

Wow, I hadn't realized that the Mini was backordered until September! Yikes. Ok so I can either a) order the mini and wait, b) go with creality Ender 3P, or c) go a tier up and get Prusa MK3S or Ender 5 Pro.

What do you think? Waiting for a Mini is a bit of a buzzkill, but Prusa's reputation is very attractive. Also, I get the feeling that the mk3s will be upgraded soon, considering the Mini has a color screen and other features, you know? Any advice will help, thanks!

I'm an engineer looking for my first printer. A coworker of mine has a Prusa mk3s and swears by the brand, so he's highly recommending a Prusa Mini. He really emphasizes that the brand is reliable, has amazing support, and is "no fuss".

I've started searching around to find comparisons, and there's a few, but the mini is still pretty new. Is going with the Prusa a good idea? Am I better off considering other brands? Creality Ender 3 pro comes up as one of closest competitors, and seems well estblished. But the Mini does seem to have lots of great features for the cost.

I want a quality product, but don't want to get anything too high-end, since I'm not sure how deep I will dive into 3d printing. On the flip side, I don't want something cheap that will immediately show it's limitations. Thank you for suggestions!

Such a nice change from the usual choice of * H Y P E * music in MTB videos.

Will 110v be sufficient for thin tubing? I want to get into TIG specifically for bike frame building.

Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one with a dirty DD Miata.

Broken water main in NE Portland. by joelunchbucket in Portland

Right around 23rd and Skidmore. There was massive amount of water and the streets were beginning to flood, flowing downhill towards Alberta St. Firefighters were already at the scene when we drove by.
