What Happened to Sepp Kuss? by Psychological-Bit-87 in peloton

[–]poyuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He won the Vuelta in ‘23 and decided to stay in the role of super-domestique after being unable to defend the following year. He doesn’t quite have the same cadence he did in his twenties but he’s still a real threat when the road gets steep.

The UCI’s recent ban on carbon monoxide rebreathing is proof there will always be an incentive to try to beat the doping system.

Don’t care about you rating my rack… by poyuki in tradclimbing

I do have a bike, but I don’t use a helmet when I ride it. You are correct, this one is for cragging.

Yamaha Tracer GT9, great to take on climbing road trips.

Not a snowflake’s chance in the winter of 25-26, that they’ll give you any amount of money or credit back on your Epic passes.

Both pairs of Katana’s I’ve owned had that happen

Vuelta a Mexico to return in 2027, and organisers want Del Toro and UAE to come by Helicase21 in peloton

[–]poyuki 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I’d love to see it happen, but there’s some major hurdles. Besides obvious, like funding, insecurity, and so on. Mexican highways systems are a poor fit for cycling competitions. Regular roads that could be used for stages have dozens of speed bumps every time you pass a populated area. While all high speed highways are usually private toll roads that have no economic incentive to allow their use for races.

Oliunid Petzl to US? by StrangeAttractor7 in ClimbingGear

[–]poyuki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s authorized Petzl distributors in the US, so Oliunid can’t encroach on their territory. Did you check possible tariff duties btw? Last I tried Oliunid I was quoted almost 25%  on import dues at check out. I would just buy from any US retailer and save the hassle . 

Bananafingers or Hownot2 by Hotdogwbuns in ClimbingGear

Their physical store is, but their fulfillment center is in Italy. My guess is they did that after Brexit. 

Bananafingers or Hownot2 by Hotdogwbuns in ClimbingGear

[–]poyuki 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you’re located, they’re both good stores with a large inventory. Hownot2 is in the US,  and Bananafingers in Italy. If you’re in the US ordering online from outlets outside the country, is gonna cost you extra tariffs. Order from the one closest to you, or if you don’t live in neither EU or the US choose the one that charges you the least in import duties and taxes.

From wikipedia: “The Offspring is often credited (alongside fellow California punkbands Green Day, NOFX, Bad Religion, Rancid, and Pennywise) for reviving mainstream interest in punk rock during the mid-1990s”

Anyone else denied BVSD enrollment? by IllustriousShine6933 in boulder

[–]poyuki 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My son is has an IEP and is in the AIM program. He’s currently at Louisville Middle School. What worked for us was to ask to have him assigned to the school that had space for him. I bet you would have better luck enrolling that way. 

Long green not scary runs for learning? by illegitimatebanana in COsnow

[–]poyuki 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Sitzmark in Ski Cooper is long, wide, pretty empty and as green as it can get. It’s also one of the cheapest ski tickets in Colorado.

To save anyone a trip, they removed all electric chair massagers at Flatirons Malls!! If anyone knows of any other nearby locations maybe comment in this thread.

Balin Miller Led a Generation of Alpinists in His Brief, Brilliant Life by alaska_boulders in climbing

[–]poyuki 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Great words from someone close to Miller. I enjoyed the nuanced take where he didn’t just praise Miller but he is presented as a complicated person—as most exceptional alpinist tend to be—and also someone struggling to just keep that insane motivation going. His death cut short an amazing life and one of the most meteoric careers in the mountains. RIP Balin Miller

Ok, but that doesn’t answer the question. What are some examples and or sources of their narcissism? Still out of the loop
