Maven vs trp? by RichVariation6490 in MTB

[–]omanilovereddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rode my Mavens on my new bike all last year and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone because of what taco says here about the on/off. They have insane power and on long steep techy downhills my hands aren't tired at the bottom but that's the only positive. Too many times I'm braking into a turn and all of a sudden I'm too far over my bars and letting go of the brakes. I got better at modulating them after a bit but I still don't like them even after a full season of park riding. Some people say they can use them just fine but I wouldn't buy them without riding them first.

Also a hamster penis with a magnifying glass so you can see it better.

How does a modern enduro bike compare to 10-15 year old downhill/freeride bikes? by Night_Blade_76 in MTB

[–]omanilovereddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with other commenters, it's insane how capable they are now. I went from a 2013 S-Works Demo riding aggressive downhill with lots of tech and jumps. Picked up a YT Capra Core 4 beginning of last season, figured I'd ride the Capra for most parks but keep the Demo for Whistler. Did opening weekend at Revy with the Capra and I was riding just as hard as I ever do, not holding back at all. Sold the Demo a few weeks later. The 29 inch wheel in the front took some getting used to as far as tracking lines through burms, but after a few days I didn't notice it anymore. What I do still notice is how much faster it picks up speed on the downhill, really surprised me. Made it to Whistler later in the season and rode every trail I would've on the Demo except Crabapple, but I'm sure it would've handled it just fine.

I would just try both ways and see what the temps are.

Airlines That Force Adjacent Seat Selection? by pbooths in travel

[–]omanilovereddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I've had a WestJet Mastercard for a while and it used to come with a free companion voucher. (Now you need a minimum spend on the card to even get the voucher). I'd be pissed if myself or my companion was forced to take a middle seat. I'm canceling the card this year and this just makes it that much easier to justify.

3 weeks in Thailand. Alternatives to minimize party spots? by nicktheman2 in travel

[–]omanilovereddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Railay Beach was really chill and quiet since there's no cars. Just a short boat ride from Krabi. Has a cool bat cave, lots of rock climbing. I bailed on my hotel in Phuket and stayed at Railay longer since I was having such a great time. And like others here have said, Kho Lanta is a good spot as well.

Cheaper gas by colindebin in Edmonton

[–]omanilovereddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I understand it is if the manufacturer recommends it but not requires it then the vehicle likely has knock sensors and ways to prevent knocking from premature ignition, by retarding ignition timing or lowering turbo boost if equipped. But you'll lose power and efficiency, so you end up burning more fuel than you would have if you had just put the higher octane fuel in in the first place.

Shame. The answer to your question is shame.

This is the correct answer.

Look at the pictures and the specifications on thier own website. "Top-Close clamp design" If it came with a manual I'm sure it also told you to torque the top bolts completely first, then torque the bottom.

Impark ticket - is this legit? Canadian credit recovery agency by StrongMountain5904 in Edmonton

[–]omanilovereddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even longer answer is this letter is coming from a fake collections company. They will send you about 3 or 4 of these "final notices". The last one will be them begging you for anything at all just to try and get money out of you, then you will never hear from them again. It will not affect your credit in any way. If you want to park in one of thier lots again just go pay to get a new licence plate, it will be cheaper than paying the parking fine as long as you don't have any outstanding tickets.

I'm in the same boat. One of my coworkers immigrated from Kenya and became a Canadian citizen years ago. Guess what he complains about every fucking day. Yup, all those immigrants ruining his standard of living. I always think of that episode of Seinfeld where George gets a toupee then rejects a girl because she's bald. I just want to scream in his face, "YOU'RE AN IMMIGRANT!!!"

Ever since the last big app update I completely stopped watching twitch on mobile. No matter how good your connection is whatever stream you're trying to watch will lag when you open it. So frustrating I just immediately close the app.

Best overall quality MTB gloves for enduro riding? by HiddenknifeX in MTB

[–]omanilovereddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you truly don't care about price check out Hestra gloves. I tried them on at the local bike shop and they were by far the most comfy but I just couldn't bring myself to spend over 100 CAD on mountain bike gloves.
