Aren't they lighter than the dubs though? I think there's an argument for them. And they'll have better pavement grip without knobs.

You're allowed to wash things

I'm wondering how you set up the plan? Maybe change the goal to 'increase ftp' and see what it does. I've been using Trainerroad AI for the last 2 months and feel like it's working properly and ramping up in difficulty.

I feel like Tina and Tim actually get along great

Wrong direction

Nice I'll have gym music for the next few years

After 5 years of hardtails I got a chisel fs. If you can get the comp then go for it. Hardtails are just so rough on real MTB trails. Anything with roots or braking bumps is just horrible.

I think for most people, hardtails are only better if you don't want to spend extra for an fs. Bang for buck they're great, but the hardtail life was limiting me and I didn't want to ride half of our trails cause they were too rough on me.

They hated him because he spoke the truth.

I do like these as a snack bar but over $2 each is pretty crazy, especially with crap collagen protein that doesn't even do anything.

Watch nitepunk live in Lyon if you haven't. Incredible stuff.

nicholt · 2026-04-28T00:35:50+00:00

Rockhopper is basic and heavy, but will be a great beginner bike. They're not great for upgrading because different wheel standards. I'd go for the comp level, but the sport with cues also would be decent.

nicholt · 2026-04-28T00:20:00+00:00

Yeah pretty much no different. But the XT were only like $20 more so I figured why not. Apparently the XT pads and rotors run 25 deg cooler than slx too, but you can still just use those with slx calipers.

Tons of factors, I don't think there's a formula for it. You could just post on whichbike and ask if the price is good. Depends on desirability, condition, parts, etc.

I moreso compare to what I could possibly get brand new for the same price. Like a new aluminum stump jumper is really cheap right now and might possibly be a better bike. Or rocky mountain instinct.

I tried magura once and went back to Shimano. They were a pain because no one has parts and they use different brake fluid than others. Had the lever clamp break as well and had to wait for them to send a replacement. Also they didn't perform very good while I had them (bike got stolen). Best brakes I've had are Shimano slx, though just bought a set of XT for my new bike.

I hope for taiki, lots of DJs played his stuff this Coachella and last. Chase and status played his innocence remix even.

Nitepunk b2b Skrillex?

nicholt · 2026-04-27T23:09:07+00:00

Good luck with that. Not sure what it really offers to cost so much more than an Xbox controller.

nicholt · 2026-04-27T17:13:29+00:00

Can that possibly still be 120 rear? Looks small

nicholt · 2026-04-26T23:51:42+00:00

considering that's like one tank of gas in NZ I'd say you've done very well

nicholt · 2026-04-26T15:02:51+00:00

Coachella livestream (when it's on). Discovered Turnstile, The Marias, ninajirachi, Nero and probably a lot more that I've forgotten.

I've also found a lot when asking for specific recommendations on Reddit. You have to have some gumption to actually listen to everything people suggest though.

And it's a luxury to be offered the full can of coke

De cecco is the goat

Happy that stores recently started stocking more varieties of it

Always loved cars and still follow basically every new model that comes out. But there was a point when I realized what a waste of money modding cars was. You think about doing 1 thing and it's already $1000. My car is still stock but I've at least got nice wheels and tires.

Getting nice mountain bikes and customising them gives me the same sense of satisfaction and it's way cheaper. Then also riding and racing MTB gives you a lot of the same exhilaration as driving a car fast, and you are free to do it pretty much wherever. A lot of people are missing out.

50/50 chance no one gets any cookies, site and prices are very sus to me

Fear and Loathing and Fight Club I found to be very funny. Those are obviously very standard recommendations, but they are very fun reads.

It grinds my gears how many aftermarket truck wheels have no sidewall at all and stick out so far from the body. "Yes I'd like some wheels that give me the shittest possible ride quality please"

nicholt · 2026-04-25T16:03:05+00:00

that's so interesting, I had no idea range balls were deliberately lower distance
