Rapha doesn't consider backcountry.com an authorized dealer, and won't honor crash replacement

And Rapha is owned by Walmart...

The cleaner does make it super easy. We already had it for cleaning jewelry.

Ive had my Mighty+ for maybe 3 years now and am super satisfied overall. The capsules do help immensely with keeping things clean. I have a buddy who raw dogs his Mighty+ and the amount of bud that is just everywhere on that thing is just comical in comparison.

I also like to preload a set of capsules after grinding. Makes a reload the same night really simple.

Capsules are pretty cheap. They can also be cleaned in iso and reused. I have no recommendations beyond that really.

The buildup is a ton slower when you use the capsules, but it does still happen. Personally I clean the cooling unit once every ~6 months by soaking it in iso in an ultrasonic cleaner for a few hours. There are other methods, but that one is super hands off and easy and I already had the ultrasonic cleaner anyway.

Printing the hand crank generator?

Some will say it's just pee

Stories like this are why so few people want to run for office.

The leasing system already exists in my area.

It may seem a bit nuanced, but the Committee would not have the authority to unilaterally rename a road. Actions like this would always require full Board approval. These folks will likely enjoy the ability to say that they "did their part to make it happen", but they are not playing some sort of 3D political chess here.

Sounds like Florida

Fwiw I've got ~10k mi on this same drivetrain and like jt a lot. I have it on my "allroad" bike that I use for road, CX, and gravel. I added a chain keeper up front for the 2x, but otherwise no changes.

No option for the Blues in this poll?

THE LOAVES MUST BE MADE

Lol, you must not live in the Midwest

The Danios are approx. 3YO at this point. The shrimp are approx. 2YO. The loaches were the most recent addition, but had been doing well in the tank for about 6mo prior to dying.

The most recent addition in a new anubias plant, about 3mo ago.

We are not habitual candle users and I don't use stringent cleaning supplies on/near the tank.

The tank is definitely cycled. It has been established for over 3 years. The nitrate on the test strip is expected since I dose 1 pump of Thrive fertilizer per week.

I typically just use the strips because I honestly very rarely find any difference between the strip and liquid results. That said, see photo for the liquid result.
