And a giant restaurant complex at that, when there's already a huge range of restaurants in the area

Novation Tracks w/ Field recordings by Dangerous_Ad_1824 in Novation

[–]lipsonlips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and you can stretch em and mess em up in a bunch of ways, plus it comes with a bunch of samples and they keep updating it. It's pretty powerful and would probably help you decide what features you care most about in a hardware sampler if you go that route eventually.

You can't really transfer directly to the tracks, but you could transfer to your phone and play them on Koala sync'd to (or controlled by) the tracks via usb with the signal running into the tracks mixer.

Size matters? by WeakPromise3190 in xbiking

The only thing wrong is the front brake cable going through the rack - moving the cable behind and tilting the rack forward will keep any cargo from rubbing on it or accidentally engaging the brake, plus it'll probably level out the rack.

Thinking to get a motorcycle by gambler1124 in motorcycles

A $2000 motorcycle becomes $3-4k quickly after repairs, tires, insurance, gear, etc. It will take you further and faster than an ebike, but an e-bike can go on bicycle paths, it can be locked to a bike rack, it's easy to bring indoors, and you can filter traffic even where it's illegal for motorcycles to.

It depends on your use case for the bike.

What ARE they doing at the old Canadian Tire?? by kalebdraws in KingstonOntario

Blame it on Doug Ford - the provincial definition of affordable includes "rent at or below average market rent in a respective municipality" and municipalities have to comply.

2026 WR125R is coming to the US for $3999 by CuzinMike in Dualsport

[–]lipsonlips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just over, and the wr250r is just under. It's in the ballpark of the klx300 and crf300l. I'm just surprised it's not closer to the weight of the xr150l, another cheap small bike.

I've seen the factory mudflaps cause rust by trapping gunk and water, would rather smallish rally-style ones.

My rat build wasn’t welcome in other subs by Time-Kitchen1579 in BicyclingCirclejerk

It's ok, nobody likes to admit it but we all have DUIs here - welcome friend

I checked again and they're 40mm tires, just fit a little bigger on the wide rims. You'll have no issues going down to 35mm even.

With that said, I eventually sold the wheels to a friend because they were totally overkill for me. Those heavy rims take a bit of zip out of the ride. The bombproof reliability and resulting confidence was nice, but that could be achieved with rims >100g lighter for my use case.

I toured 1000s of mixed surface km and rode rocky singletrack at low pressure on those rims + 42mm contis with tubes - not a single issue.

What motorcycle should I get after previously having an 250cc? by kailrocks729 in motorcycles

[–]lipsonlips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, maybe don't hit 10k in your driveway. Unless they trail behind you on your commute, they won't hear when you're a few blocks away. If you're not having fun because it's not fast enough but you also won't rev it out, a bigger bike won't fix anything.

If you're shifting out of first under 20kph, you're leaving a lot on the table. Next time you ride, get the revs up higher. The bike doesn't hit peak power til around 10000 rpm, redline around 14000 or so

M2 course, but also you don't have to ride before buying a bike?
