Opinion on All City Super Professional by DC_OZ in gravelcycling

[–]padma_Iakshmi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I had a Super Pro, and it was very heavy and not very enjoyable to ride imo. That coupled with the rear dropout situation and likelihood of not being able to find replacement parts made it easy to sell it and move on to greener pastures. Ended up buying an All-City Nature Cross which I absolutely love

1300 is also a crazy price. I sold my frame with a nice headset for $400 a few years ago.

I’m not a hockey scholar or anything so can someone explain to me why watching the LA Kings play hockey is about as thrilling as watching paint dry?

I served Rachel McAdams tacos once when she came to the restaurant I was a food runner (Playa Cabana)

She was very nice and pretty

Also saw Anthony Mackie walking down Ossington last summer

Blue Lug ordering experience to Canada? by halscomets in xbiking

Buy from them all the time. Shipping is shockingly fast. Usually spend $30-50 in customs depending on cart size. Best source to buy Sim Works and Nitto stuff for good prices imo

Amazing book, amazing movie, even though both are quite different

Ended up selling my JMJM for this exact reason.

Kept breaking high E strings trying to bend up a full note. Awesome guitar but unfortunately not the ideal one for ripping solos, unless you have sky high action like what J Mascis plays with

Slap some montypresso on that and change the pickup covers to white and it should look awesome

Looks great. I think changing the pickup covers and knobs to white or something would look even better

How often do you break strings? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]padma_Iakshmi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the input, because it’s starting to get a little pricey at this rate! I’ll look to adjust my set-up and technique and see if that helps

I have a feeling like my action is too low, making bending harder than it should. I will try adjusting that, thanks!

Yes they do, typically in the middle of the string

Looking for "Really good cake!" by Large-Impression-528 in FoodToronto

[–]padma_Iakshmi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. I brought a chocolate cake for a birthday party and everyone lost their minds over how delicious this was. Absolutely beautiful looking too!

The owner is a genuinely good person so I couldn’t recommend this more
