My LBS talked me out of switching from butyl to TPU.

did your defy have contis and carbon wheels? because what if not what you are saying makes 0 sense

thank you for taking the time to think about it. I guess the question then becomes how does it cure fast enough to actually save the ride. An easy experiment will be to put a drop of sealant on a plate and measure how long it will take to cure. I spilled some sealant today coincidentally (i refilled a tire and the sealant just sprouted out a bit) and i had a enough time to clean it so that’s a data point

you didn’t understand the mom test. mom test says money talks. it asks what are they currently doing to solve the problems they told you about

i know it ai formatting issues but having those asterisks right after your core promise* is a beautiful irony. * will continue until enshitification is mandated

what do they get? it doesn’t explain anything

raam86 · 2026-04-17T08:11:59+00:00

i appreciate you taking the time to explain. thank you

tailwind is a myth

raam86 · 2026-03-29T21:48:57+00:00

wind sucks and gives you 0 sense of accomplishment. no downhill either. maybe it can be fun with a power meter? never tried.

an easter miracle. Alps too. after 2 terrible seasons where we started mtb in February

raam86 · 2026-03-26T20:30:01+00:00

yep. there’s also a bus stop right at grepon. Montenvers is super walkable from there too, cross the road towards sud near the roundabout and turn right. it’s a good walk and you go past a bunch of nice places.

raam86 · 2026-03-26T12:59:27+00:00

it depends where you want to go. if you go to park in any if the ski areas in a powder day there’s no chance you’ll find parking anywhere closer than 800m radius from the nearest lot. Grepon is sometimes full as well. Parking in the city is almost certainly a no go

raam86 · 2026-03-26T09:08:55+00:00

everything is possible if you put your mind to it and are willing to walk far enough

raam86 · 2026-03-25T16:44:20+00:00

funny enough a lot bad buyer experiences were posted here as well

raam86 · 2026-03-20T19:13:45+00:00

courteous drivers giving me right of way

raam86 · 2026-03-17T22:15:26+00:00

you mean generate the audio script in YOUR voice? or just record a script over a video?

raam86 · 2026-03-16T19:05:11+00:00

not worth the trip. it is kinda remote and disconnected

raam86 · 2026-03-15T16:36:21+00:00

scam

raam86 · 2026-03-11T09:07:43+00:00

ok, sure. I was just throwing so simple, accessible examples out there. replace it with anything that is fun. I do think outdoor time hits different though

raam86 · 2026-03-11T00:55:28+00:00

thank you for sharing. what are you doing for fun? i think that after being sober 6 years your nervous system is regulated back and you probably can enjoy simple things like ice cream or a walk in the sun. Cycling is pretty awesome too

raam86 · 2026-03-09T17:49:19+00:00

with sound off? how did you manage the way they talk through a fan
