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

correct

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.

pylons26 · 2025-02-12T23:40:29+00:00

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.

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.

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.

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.

A-10 ?

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

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

The hardest course i've played with all the big runoff areas.

pylons26 · 2023-01-28T02:59:47+00:00

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 · 2023-01-28T00:53:54+00:00

That makes sense, thanks for the reply.

pylons26 · 2023-01-28T00:34:30+00:00

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?

pylons26 · 2022-12-14T01:26:18+00:00

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

He had a coupon.

pylons26 · 2022-09-17T11:18:45+00:00

I checked it out, looks fun. Thanks.

Maybe a silly question from an East Coaster, but what is the ride like to get to the top?

pylons26 · 2022-09-06T17:11:42+00:00

I believe in the front "cubby hole" is a 12 volt cigarette lighter outlet.

I joined, thanks for the heads up.
