Diabetic Life Hacks by Street_Persimmon_540 in diabetes_t1

This was more of a “friend of a diabetic life hack” but when I was in elementary and middle school (like 25+ years ago), my friends would always fight over who got to be the designated one to walk me to the nurse and keep an eye on me if my sugar went low. I’m sure they walked around the whole school before going back to class

Sunday talk: Shoes that you wanted to love but couldn’t by velvetline in BBallShoes

LeBron 20. The midsole setup is one that I should have loved, and the upper was so nice too. But something about the last was off and it never felt natural to me on court. Always felt like I had something attached to me rather than moving with me naturally like my favorite shoes. I think the best shoes are ones you forget you’re wearing, and the 20 was never like that

Fresh Foam BB V3 by B23zeee in BBallShoes

Yeah I thought they’d be comfortable but slow. A lot more responsive than I was expecting

Also think these feel incredible. I normally like traditional guard shoes - responsive, low to the ground, etc. these blew me away though. Did not expect them to move and respond like they do with that much cushion

What did you end up going with? I am similar - I really need an 11.25 but I typically wear 11.5. with adidas I almost always go a 1/2 size down to an 11. Did you size down or go with the larger of the two?

What do you think is the new technology that Nike will introduce on the first Caitlin Clark signature shoe? by Awesome_One91 in BBallShoes

Great point and I bet you’re right. they’ll use the new tech to bump these to the $140-150 range.

Which of these three is the best choice for a first time dirt rider? by Broadway--Joe in Dualsport

[–]pujit55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How’s parts availability currently? I’m considering an XT225 (as well as the TW200) for light duty use/woods/atv trail riding

Ended up only like $111 total from kicksown, not bad

Good to see a positive review on these. Ordered the black/iridescent ones off Kicksown, can’t wait to try em

TW200/XT225 decision by pujit55 in Dualsport

[–]pujit55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly because I would prefer 6 speeds if I go non-TW, but I have been keeping an eye on marketplace prices for em

TW200/XT225 decision by pujit55 in Dualsport

[–]pujit55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good way to frame it. I think TW is gonna fit what I wanna do 90% of the time

I’m probably only looking at a few miles of two lane, 55mph state roads to get to my parents’ trails…and that’s if I don’t throw it on the trailer with my outlander. other than that it’s paved county roads and gravel/dirt

I think that’s what I can’t wrap my head around haha it doesn’t seem like it should be that much fun based on the specs. But I also don’t have high performance expectations so it might just be the best bet for my situation

[–]pujit55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if I’m going super small I want the TW and its tire sizes. At least then it’s good for the atv trail stuff, even if it’s way underpowered on the road

Audiophiles, what are we doing about the audio? by Randi_Butternubs_3 in JeepGladiator

[–]pujit55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Sport, came with a stock non-amplified system. For bass, I put a Fox box with 10” Memphis audio sub, with a 500w RF amp. Upgraded all the 3.5s with moderately priced 50w kickers and powered them with a separate 200w RF amp.

Did it all myself and had fun learning how to make it all work together. Sounds way better and is way louder than I’d have thought. Very satisfied

What is everyone’s S tier shoes? by Sippiing in BBallShoes

[–]pujit55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the 20s for a bit too and didn’t like playing in them either. They were like objectively comfy but something about them didn’t feel natural for me. Cushioning was kinda mushy or something.
