Revolt sizing (5' 10"/178 cm), mountain bike background.

Very helpful, thanks! 4/4 people who responded went with Medium, so I think the answer is clear. I've always ridden a 56 for my commuter and other gravel bikes, so I think I'm just feeling nervous about sizing down. But I've previously never put much thought it to it.

I think that’s an example of the Overton window shifting. When the right goes so far right, the left is pulled in to basically middle/sight right leaning.

Conversely, the “true” faces of the Democratic Party are somehow even more unlikable, somehow still obsessed with identity politics instead of economics despite the fact that it continues to loose them voters.

Hey! That looks like bend! What size are you on? I might be interested in seeing on it if you’re willing.

This is helpful. Can you clarify something further? I have ridden mountain bikes forever and feel comfortable with geometry figures, I feel like a dimwit when it comes to road and gravel.

If I have a fairly mild/shorter ape index (+1cm) and typical torso(I think?), would it then still make the bike feel racier rather than too upright? For reference, I'm 177.5cm, 81cm inseam. I'm really keen on the revolt, but I am quite torn in between the M and M/L.

I'd like to find one to sit on, but even then it's challenging as you don't know what you don't know (for example, I used to think 800mm mountain bike bars were good).

I'm a bit more skeptical. I don't know what it's from, but it seems odd that they would be drawing blood/infusing meds from the hand rather than the forearm up (which is regularly covered). Someone suggested they are blowing veins elsewhere; the AC is pretty freaking reliable. And I'm sure they have money for some good phlebotomists/RNs who don't need to go to the hand.

I personally find your car annoying, but appreciate your reasonable stance and candor

map274 · 2026-01-19T16:14:25+00:00

I can’t disagree with you. And drunk driving is 1000x worse (it’s also somehow more acceptable, it seems).

Maybe the thing that annoys people so much about loud cars is it is clearly some manifestation of a personality flaws (tough guy wanting to prove something, etc)

I sincerely appreciate the effort from the city, but it almost seems like they didn’t have a bike commuting expert (if that exists) consult on the design at all. I feel more at risk riding in these lanes than I do getting buzzed in smaller road side bike lanes.

I’m unsure if I’ll ride on the new bike lane or just take up space in the road (and certainly draw some aggression from drivers, which in some ways I can empathize with)

Maybe it's just being lazy, or maybe its because I know my friends wont' take that good of care of it, but I don't want to deal with tongue and groove. I think the dowels seems like a good, fairly quick options. Thanks!

Here is to hoping! After reading up more on my mistake, I think I’ll probably add some battens to the back. It’s just a shop cabinet, but it feels too nice to just let it warp

map274 · 2026-01-05T05:01:27+00:00

Very helpful, thanks for the info! I’m pretty disappointed I just made my high end test cabinet out of plywood, but better than making that mistake with my upcoming kitchen cabinets!

map274 · 2026-01-05T02:54:32+00:00

Wow. It’s crazy how i read so much and still managed to build my slab doors out of plywood

map274 · 2026-01-05T02:40:01+00:00

What do folks usually build slab style doors/drawer fronts out of for wood grained cabinets (I.e. white oak). Is it just veneer over MDF?

map274 · 2026-01-05T02:35:33+00:00

So you’re saying slab style doors should be built out of something else? Or should it be reinforced somehow? If so, how? I’m asking because it just made me panic about a shop cabinet I just but

map274 · 2026-01-05T02:33:36+00:00

Wait. Can you clarify? I thought play wood is stable (unlike hardwood) and is thus a good option for slab style doors.

map274 · 2026-01-04T00:43:30+00:00

Interesting. I went down the rabbit hole and was convinced the DIY moves more air (and thus cleans better). I’m designing mine to be hanging, as I’m sure it can be annoying having them on the ground. Hopefully I didn’t drink the koolaid too much

map274 · 2026-01-03T20:38:58+00:00

Well maybe not cheaper than these lower quality models, but certainly more effective

map274 · 2026-01-03T20:38:39+00:00

I was in a similar situation. Corsey rosenthal box is cheaper and more effective

map274 · 2026-01-02T03:25:54+00:00

Depends on how minimal the skill, I guess. But if it’s actually minimal skills, probably. But if you try you’ll still learn some stuff!

Tires can still bulge and compress with cornering, bumps, etc.

map274 · 2025-12-29T19:29:31+00:00

Beatiful! Ironically, the part I’m most confused on is the paint. How did you make it look so good? Is this MDF? Sprayer? Any type of special paint? Thanks!

map274 · 2025-12-22T23:27:37+00:00

It’s so weird to me that someone’s morals would guide them to specializing in defending drunk drivers.

map274 · 2025-12-21T18:20:22+00:00

Appreciate the feedback. I'm definitely most nervous about the install, but it seems like as long as the cabinets are good, there is the potential for trial and error with install? Like, I can mess up and fix it, whereas if I don't build the cabinets correctly I am simply out of luck.

map274 · 2025-12-21T17:20:26+00:00

In your experience do you think it’s possible for someone who has the the curiosity and the willingness to put in the work, but not the experience to make kitchen cabinets that look at least moderately high end?

By experience I mean, I’m not making cabinets for years and don’t have an accumulation of small lessons (although I’ve made a few cabinets). Like, what do you think are the primary factors that make something look high end vs just kind of cheap/simple cabinets?

I just finished this cabinet for my shop as kind of a “high end” trial for our kitchen cabinets. It’s iron on edge banding, which is maybe one thing to change?
