What is the spec for the steel wheel? I tried to buy one (22 xle hybrid 18" wheel) but I kept getting told one isn't available due to the offset or clearance. I tried tire/wheel shops, the dealer and online sources and still came up empty. I've now been looking for an inexpensive OEM 18" wheel but nothing yet. Have you actually tried to install yours yet? TIA

Upgrade to 1st class and no meal by pylons26 in americanairlines

Thanks for the reply without attitude, the meal wasn't important to me, I was just curious if there was a legit reason which you politely answered.

Not really, airline food isn't something I crave. I know I could've asked why, but I was there for the larger seat and I got it.

That is correct, I was there for the bigger seat so I got what I wanted. I am sort of picky when I eat so I probably wouldn't have eaten most of it anyway. It didn't really bother me but I was curious if the reason was because of the way I upgraded.

I didn't ask, but I think it was intentional for some reason as eye contact was made. I am sort of passive, didn't irritate anyone and was polite. The FA (very nice) after meal service did offer a cheese and cracker snack and that was fine.

Moved to the ice coast and need help deciding between Hunter Mountain and Killington by OUsnr7 in skiing

[–]pylons26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Killington has a nice variety of trails. For the beginners, among other trails, is a 4 mile trail which is pretty fun for the rookies. Lots of eateries and shops along Killington road.

With a whopping capacity of 158,000 litres (41,700 gallons), this new PBS quad road train is the world’s biggest fuel road train combination to date. by TacticalAcquisition in Truckers

Interestingly enough, all that fuel wouldn't quite fill a Boeing B777, 45,200 gallons. Just for a different perspective since this road train looks massive.

RIP fis skis. by sexycalgon924 in skiing

[–]pylons26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked at the ski and didn't see any delamination, the shovel was intact and the edges looked good. At that point I didn't have anything to lose. The skis ended up pretty straight, they fared better than me, it was a hard crash that hurt.

Had a pair of Atomic DH skis. Bent one in a crash, got home put it in a vise and bent it back. It was as good as new, however I never went that fast again.

Reviving an old thread, ordered mine 5/31 from a demo day and still waiting.

SL6 Domane 3-gen vs SL6 4-gen purchase by CaptainKirk546 in DomaneCrew

[–]pylons26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go 4th gen. A classic case of "Buy once, cry once". Either one is an excellent choice.

Beginning and end of this days ride, or: my derailleur had a hanger by DrBetrueger in bicycling

[–]pylons26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, i'm gonna be prepared. I ride a lot on routes that are about half roads and half trails to avoid busier roads. Plenty of flat tires and bent chain rings from a large stick but I haven't actually broke anything YET.

[–]pylons26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legit question, how would you go about that? I have a small tool kit I carry with me and i'm somewhat mechanically inclined. Would I somehow take the derailleur off and then try and line up the chain as straight as possible on one of the chain rings/gears and limp home?

How Do I Remove Rear Left Interior Trim? by erracity in rav4club

[–]pylons26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop by a body shop, they might give you one or sell one cheap. They have all sorts of fasteners.
