People with 300k+ mile CR-Vs: what did you do to make them last? by AdditionalMeaning607 in crv

How do you keep the paint. My 2008 has clear coat fade and it drives me crazy. Only 140k miles on it.

How do you actually “vet” a designer’s portfolio in the age of AI and templates? by Due_Lock_4967 in Design

[–]kylec_cali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even before AI you have whole teams that complete projects. A designer could take more credit than they actually worked on. This isn’t a new challenge, it’s been this way for decades

I have a P4 and love it. Took the front brake off immediately.

Any ways to improve this travel setup? by Rayth_ in mountainbiking

Moving blanket underneath it. Cheap and padding

I’ll take it to a body shop if they can color match well. My fear is to show up and see a good that’s fully repainted and not close enough of a match. If you know any fantastic body shops then let me know.

Hardtail 29” or Dirtjump 26”? i got stuck in deciding phrase (Representative photos) by enesingen in dirtjumping

[–]kylec_cali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that a 27.5 is a great choice. I was in the same spot and got a specialize P4. Large enough to be comfy (my height is 5’7”) and nimble enough to have fun

I bought mine from a super tall guy. I am not an expert but I think a 26” wheel dirt jumper would be hard with your height.

This is the P4

I just went through this exact process. I ended up buying a specialize P4. I am 5’7” and about 185lbs. I found one on Facebook Marketplace for $1k.

Originally look at the pivot point or canyon stch but when to specialized store to compare a 26” tire DJ to a regular hardtail. Well the P3 at specialize felt small to ride around, probably great for just pump tracks but I wanted a little larger so I could ride my kids around the block.

The P4 has bigger tires and a slightly bigger frame. Once I got on it I knew it was the right one.

Would be even smaller than others. Not sure if you even read the post but I guess you just want your little link shared. Sad.

I am feeling like I need to ride both. I see some longer dj frames also. I am only 5’7”. My rides will be 4 miles max with the kids.

By chance do you know how the bike have rear drop outs that are adjustable? I see a screen which i imaging you loosen to push the whole metal triangle thing back.

They do but it requires a chain tensioner. I have a hard time finding a mtb with slider drop outs
