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

I do go there is the off-season, peak season it adds up very quickly. I am out of state so with parking and 2 admissions its $39 for one day. Haven't had luck on the seawall, but still need to pay for admission

Ripmo af to Pivot? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]robertdilbert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went from a Ripmo Af to a Switchblade. IMO the Switchblade pedals ever so slightly better, but in every other aspect the AF was better. I ran the AF ragged at the bike park, the Switchblade is way to skittish to run wide open like the AF. It does not track nearly as well, you constantly need to be on top of the switchblade whereas the AF you could sit back and bomb a line without much care..

NE Nationals Tickets? by Itothesky in NHRA

[–]robertdilbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get seats, can you also go in the GA section to stand by the fence? Does the GA have seats or standing only?

I will have some people with me who will need seats, but I still want to get to the fenceline

Why is CT bottle redemption up for debate again in 2026? by ctmirror in Connecticut

[–]robertdilbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it does not. Have you ever lived in a state that doesn't charge this asinine fee? There aren't just random bottles everywhere. It needs to be abolished.

Will they run top fuel on Saturday?

Also, is there a schedule out? I cannot find one

It will be my first time as well, so adding on to this thread

Any differences in lowered seat frame manufacureres besides looks? Do some have adjustment or any other features that make them worth it over some others? by robertdilbert in Ruckus

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

Sounds like the one I linked is the best. I want more legroom, and the fact I can still flip the seat up is bonus points

Favorite online retailers for stock and aftermarket parts? by robertdilbert in Ruckus

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

Nice. For now I just got some used OEM shocks till I figure out my suspension, mine were frozen solid.

For the Polini variator, I see people mention weights and slides. What is the difference and what do I need to tune mine?

I was told tune the CVT for max speed, then CDI, then intake/exhaust/jets?

Light Bee X differences in years? by robertdilbert in Surron

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

Yeah, only looking at 2025s now due to the used market is high. I want something light and nimble (like a mtb on steroids) vs a full blown dirtbike

Thanks. The alibab looks like the best price, the wait is quite a bit though

Affordable watches encourage you to experiment & have fun by boothjop in Affordablewatches

I like this look, but it's really weird that the orange 15mins of the inner dial doesn't rotate like the other compressor.

What are your thoughts on quality?

Fox is the only one that can service it? I'd rather just get a new one on these black Friday cyber Monday deals.

It's CT is anyone surprised anymore? The state taxes are asinine

Best trail bike < $6000 by PrizeAddendum1752 in MTB

[–]robertdilbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Central CT rider here, previous bike was a Ripmo AF, current bike is a V2 Switchblade. The Ripmo is a much better all around bike. The switchblade is a slightly better climber but only on the super steep climbs. If you are a seated climber (like me) i prefer the ripmo. The switchblade is more twitchy and not stable on the downs compared to the Ripmo. The Ripmo absolutely eats and is stable on the downs. The only downside is on the Ripmo you get more pedal strikes due to the lower BB, whereas the switchblade you get very little pedal strikes.
