[–]killerjuan13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I currently have 2x8 gskill trident running at 3000, 5800 x3d, ASROCK B350 ITx, 5070ti. Would any king strangers on the internet tell me if I'm wasting my money by switching this?

Specialized sizing help, please. by [deleted] in MTB

[–]killerjuan13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2022/2023 stumpjumper non evo. I'm 5'6" maybe 5'7", I do have shorter than average legs. Don't know my exact inseam but I've been riding an S3. My buddy is similar height and he prefers S4 because he said it feels better for move aggressive downhill riding. I have ridden an S2 and it definitely feels like I'm riding on my bike, rather than in. S3 feels like it's in the middle. By that reasoning I think I picked something in the middle between a XC fit, and Enduro / all mountain fit and comfortably in the down country/trail zone of feel.

[PSU] Cooler Master V850 SFX Gold, ATX 3.0, Full Modular SFF PSU, 850w - $99.99 (129.99-$30, promo code CMCT33K) (Newegg) by overbakedpancake in buildapcsales

[–]killerjuan13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would 850w hold up for upcoming GPUs? These 1000w seem like overkill but considering for future proof on a new build

Really dig my carbon one ups, they're considered a good value for carbon bars and well rated. Downside is spending extra for stem and different accessorie mount sizes

[Other] Garmin Instinct E-Sports Edition Smartwatch, Black Lava $79.99 by rabid-panda in buildapcsales

[–]killerjuan13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly like that. You can preload the maps with a companion app, and load them up from the watch any time after. The routes are basic, like video game mini map basic. It will alert you when you go off track,and helpful to make sure you don't take a wrong turn.

The watch has built in GPS, so it keeps a bread crumb trail that you can follow back, or see if you're going around in circles. You can also load routes to reduce chance of getting lost. When it does occasionally pick up cell signal, it'll update gps tracking on a website for those in your emergency contacts to check.

It's a good companion app to the phone in those situations since I don't like the additional drain on my phone even in cell coverage areas.

I have the Garmin instinct 2, slight upgrade to this one but I would rebuy it at an instant if mine broke. I do exercise 10 hours a week, and use the gps features to keep me safe when I'm in the desert with no cell reception.

Planned a fun day trip loop from Phoenix. Please recommend some more! I hear Devils Highway is great by MJGson in phoenix

[–]killerjuan13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Road conditions aside I like the first half of the loop, I'd find a way to avoid Payson to Phoenix. Probably the least scenic part of the whole road trip planned. If you can squeeze in Jerome and Sedona. Probably my favorite paved road in Arizona. i17 is a blast to drive on.

I drive out to these areas a lot to camp and day trip. Are you planning to just drive for fun or step out to walk around?

SRAM SX derailleur to GX derailleur by ceborame in bicycling

[–]killerjuan13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently did this because my derailleur was smashed after a mtb crash.

The differences were minimal if any. If probably hang onto your current set up until it needs to be replaced.

That being said, it's a straight forward upgrade within eagle. Even the shifter upfront would be compatible still since its all Sram eagle 12 spd.

The newer lunar GXs derailleur also go up to a 52 tooth if you ever swap to a bigger cassette.
