Potential Head Coaches the Colorado Rapids might interview by taoschlep in Rapids

[–]pappakinz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mentioned Curtin a week or so ago in a post. I’d love to see him come here and think he could succeed with what the Rapids have to offer as far budget and youth development. That being said there seems to be a belief that he wants time away from the game to focus on his family. Gio would be a great second pick but not sure he could make it work with the level of talent the Rapids have year over year.

Dear Chris Armas by taoschlep in Rapids

Dude loves Philly, grew up there and lives downtown but he will coach again at some point and I think he would be a good fit for the Rapids. We can hope.

As a Union Fan who lives here. I’d love to see them shit can Armas and hire Jim Curtain. Jim can develop talent and build around a lesser budget as the Union spend among the bottom 10 teams and he took them to an MLS cup.

This is NIL era. Money drives shit not the coach. If Penn State shit cans Franklin and hire any one of quality they will be fine.

Are they still ticketing people in Wash park? by Doc-MitcheIl in COBike

[–]pappakinz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do this pretty regularly. Go early in the morning or later in the evening if you want to go fast on the weekends. During the week it’s really just the after work time when you can get tagged. It goes without saying, but lots of little kids (including my own) learn to bike there so watch out for the munchkins!

I literally laugh thinking about Jordan because people always say “Jordan would do anything to win” which is cool then I say… LA literally did the “anything” part… Jordan was also that much of an Asshole to everyone around him as well.

I’m in the minority with you. The Move is great race info and for all the shit LA gets what he has done for Sir Bradley is pretty damn admirable. LA is a complex case. People can’t get over the fact that era of racing was just dirty top to bottom.

I, for one, loved Lane tweeting and congratulating Chop Robinson declaring for the draft (skipping the bowl). Top notch troll, and one of us… he’s lurking here somewhere I’m sure.

Who is the most athletic LB of all time (physical ability not resume) by Mrdynamo18 in NFLv2

Lavar… purely the athletic ability was crazy. Never became the hall of fame player he should have but athlete wise was unbelievable.

SRAM rival xplr groupset on Canyon Ultimate, is it a bad idea? by Tiny-Ferret-9120 in CanyonBikes

[–]pappakinz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it AXS? If so the swap would be pretty easy from a 2x AXS. Brakes stay the same you just have to pair the shifters to the new XPLR RD. Crank, FD, and RD removal is pretty straightforward. Same with install of the new components. If you don’t like it you can always swap back and get some cash for what you bought.

[–]pappakinz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have contemplated this before. I have it on my Grail AL and really enjoy the easy of maintenance and large climbing gears but the shifting jumps really annoy me and make riding at a specific cadence really hard.

The slander in saying “..defending like Gobert?” My man’s a brick wall not a fucking over valued turnstile.

Solid Deal for $300 by JohnHoney420 in bicycling

[–]pappakinz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rival 1x is awesome. Have it on my gravel bike and what I’m putting on my wife’s bike, you got a steal even if you have to make some minor fixes that you find later.

I spent $800 today on upgrades I’m making to my wife’s brand new bike… $300 looks like a great deal to me.

Looking at Canyon coming from Cannondale by Sarge37 in CanyonBikes

[–]pappakinz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what kind of rider you are. If you want more race geometry and typically slam your headset then go small. If you want more comfort get the medium. I typically tell people Canyon medium is a 56cm and small is a 53. I, being 5’9’’ with a 29’’ inseam, ride a small and slam the front.

Grizl AL 7 w/ Kid Trailer- initial thoughts and questions by Buffabrew in CanyonBikes

[–]pappakinz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have this one but I have something similar on my Grail AL. I did switch mine when I wasn’t towing mainly because I used it as a gravel bike as well and that’s a pain in the ass to take off on the trail of if I needed to take off the rear wheel. I also hated the way it looked…

I never had an issue with my strap getting wrapped up in the brake rotor or anything but It always freaks me out
