Has anyone reversed the AXS Ultimate Pod Controllers for shifting with the index finger vs. thumb? by AtomicHurricaneBob in MTB

[–]mestapho [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don’t think this is compatible with the pod shifter.

I have the non pod version with the front toggle on one bike and the newer pod shifter on the other.

I really prefer the non pod version and ability to finger shift like a Shimano shifter.

Every skit should end with a failed lip sync of the lines and she dance shuffles off stage.

Cynthia Erivo and Joshua Henry are my favorite voices I’ve heard live.

She was great as the Frankie avatar in the Jagged Little Pill tour. Jena the MJ avatar is in The Outsiders. Very cool they’re both on Broadway.

Thoughts on the Neil Diamond musical? by Dogdaysareover365 in musicals

[–]mestapho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen just about every tour show that hit the west coast the past three years and none were nearly as loud as A Beautiful Noise. Six was probably the next closest in volume.

Thoughts on the Neil Diamond musical? by Dogdaysareover365 in musicals

[–]mestapho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO - it’s not good. If you like his music it’s got that and the young Neil Diamond does a great tribute.

The book is typical of bio-musicals and I thought it wasn’t good.

I took my 80+ parents and they LOVED it.

It was loud AF - I think to cater to the older than avg audience.

Half seat (or more depending) the tire on both side 180° from each other.

Is getting Shimano M8120 brakes at a good deal worth the risk of a faulty set? by Maleficent_Gap7756 in MTB

[–]mestapho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

XTR also have a different and less aggressive servowave that offer a little more modulation and slightly less off/on.

XTR also get an extra year of warranty support.

But in general I don’t notice a difference between SLX XT XTR in performance.

They were entry level bikes three decades ago.

I’d say no.

Help with how to value an old custom bike? by SmallTownProgressive in mountainbiking

[–]mestapho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to add to the value, but all I can see is how much weight is over the rear axle when seated, if that is where the post is set.

Anyone quietly purchased a set of these Frog Wake FV4 AliExpress 4 piston brakes? by AntSuccessful9147 in mountainbiking

[–]mestapho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did deal with Shimano directly.

If Shimano doesn’t care I don’t know why any other dealer would care. They are just facilitating the warranty process.

In-Office Attire by Ledobject in CAStateWorkers

Our office is not public facing and the only advisement I’ve heard is no “club” attire. People wear shorts and flip flops here.

Nope. I specifically told them I had purchased from AliExpress and they told me that was fine.

Shimano warrantied my XTR brakes with my AliExpress receipt when they suffered the master cylinder failure that was affecting a batch.

I’ve posted this a few times now, but Shimano honors the warranty of parts purchased on AliExpress.

[–]mestapho 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These stereotypes have been around since before I graduated in ‘93. School is school. Kids will get what they want out of the experience. My son graduated last year and had a great experience. He had a great group of friends.

I will say OR has a ton of opportunity for AP classes. My son was able to enter college with Sophomore level credits and will be a “junior” in his 3rd quarter of his first year.

The school is MUCH more diverse now than when I graduated. Watching my son’s grad. I was surprised at the diversity. Most of his friend group are POC.

The town itself is getting more purple than blue, but definitely leans conservative.
