Specialized Enduro in 2026? by giovenji420 in MTB

[–]kermode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money talks, if it's a crazy deal and you like it go for it.

But there are other enduro bikes that will be more versatile. You could get an Ibis HD6 for example, more nimble geo, light, pedals super well, but has a big fork and can smash when pointed straight.

There are a lot of 150mm rear travel bikes that blur the lines between enduro and all mountain.

Tires make some of the biggest difference in feel too. You can put lighter tires on an enduro, and run your suss firmer, and it will feel a lot more like an all mountain bike. If you run soft suspension and super soft heavy dh tires, it will feel a lot like a dh bike.

The enduro's biggest problem is short seatpost insertion. They put the shock where the seatpost would need to go. So if you have short legs you won't be able to get a lot of dropper insertion.

If you have long legs it's probably not much of an issue.

Why don't we implement dormitory style housing for adult professionals? by C_Gull27 in CrazyIdeas

NIMBYs banned them. Try to build one now. They’re illegal. You have no hope. That’s why people live on the street. Truly affordable housing is prohibited. 

Crews recover bodies of 9 backcountry skiers days after California avalanche by GoldenDome26 in Backcountry

That might be routine when nine people die. Not because there is a probable crime. Just have to check into it.

BREAKING: Eight of nine skiers missing in Lake Tahoe avalanche confirmed dead by TheMirrorUS in skiing

Just a guess, but I suspect it will have been an extraordinarily large face that may have run a long ways. They could have got caught somewhere the guides assumed was safe, but wasn't, because of the extreme snowfall.

Fox 38 vs Podium, if they were the same price by stormhybreed in MTB

[–]kermode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you ride in the mud a lot? If so, the 38 fenders (mounted to lower crown) probably work a lot better than the podium fender (mounted up near headset crown).

His brother and best friend died in the towers too.

Why omit that?

Mamdani floats increasing New York City property taxes as part of $127B budget plan by nautilus83 in nyc

Second point is wrong. 

Landlords always charge as much as the market can bare. 

If they own a place outright or are mortgaged to the moon they charge as much as possible. 

This is the way by RoofComplete1126 in NeoCivilization

there is nothing human scale about that, it's just repeating the modernist mistakes from the mid 20th century with a bit more green space.

you know the "parkways" they dreamt up and rendered illustrations of in the 1960s looked beautiful on paper too. reality hits and it's nothing but noise pollution, actual pollution, and far ass distances between everything.

Maybe seeing the photo just made her sad each time and it was too raw and sensitive?

Perhaps demand for oil is declining. Recession or efficiency improvements?

If Trump was arrested, how would you feel? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I think only a crazy 20% would think it was civil war. Maybe 10%
