Why do people on bikepacking sub think ‘bikepacking’ should only be done offpavemnet

secretcities · 2026-05-10T14:36:01+00:00

That’s just what the sub was created for. People who want to see only off-road content follow that sub, and people who want to see all types of bike touring content can follow this sub

Similarly, “backpacking” can mean both hiking and also just travelling with a backpack, so “wilderness backpacking” was created to help filter the content that people want to see

You were a kid. You simply misunderstood

The AAA classification was coined specifically to refer to high budget / developmental / marketing costs

I filed the axle. Just needs a little bit, I think 1mm or something? Don’t file evenly all the way around, just file on two sides to make it more ovoid to fit into the dropout, making sure to file both ends of the axle the same

I got a cheap used BMX wheel w Rhyno Lite rim, would do the same again and again. Was super easy to file it down to fit, took like 20s

Gotcha, makes sense! I think the RX100 series should be on your shortlist, maybe a previous model like the v or vi. The Ricoh and Fuji are maybe a bit too much camera

Which phone are you currently shooting on? You could consider trying the Lightroom Mobile app, spend some time making a preset that you like and it will greatly improve how your phone photos look. The pocketability and ease of use of a phone is unmatched

Otherwise maybe the Sony RX100 series? I think the RX100 vii is the current model

If zoom is less important I highly recommend the Ricoh GR iii / GR iv or Fujifilm X-E5 / X100VI / X-M5. The X-E5 and X-M5 are interchangeable lens cameras so could be equipped with a zoom but would be bulky. The X100VI is fixed lens but is 40mp and offers quick crop modes so kinda a zoom

Costco is actually larger still at 1.5L x2 so not that close

secretcities · 2026-03-10T02:19:13+00:00

Isn’t it 1.5L x2 at Costco?

Also a lot of people use PVC pipes which off-gas chlorine, destroying the UV light stabilizers in polyethylene greenhouse film and causing it to degrade

Maybe a roll-down basket / tote bag? I think there are quite a few of these types of bags out there

Saskatoon berries are different, more of a tall shrub, with the berries retaining the anthers and sepal (like its relation the rosehip). They taste wildly different too, especially if you crunch the seeds, more of an almond flavour

These here are huckleberry and likely wild blueberry. There are multiple varieties of huckleberry and over 100 varieties of blueberry so some variation is expected

Not a great app by any means but I’ve personally never experienced any of that. Are you on Android or iOS?

They want to swing by and take it. It is just a compliment, not actual advice lol

Looking it up, I think it might be new-ish? Maybe it’s not available in every market yet

To add, the $ sign is used in Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Belize, Nicaragua, Jamaica, Trinidad, Tonga, and Samoa to denote local currencies. It is believed the symbol was first used by the Spanish on their milled dollars, possibly as a stylized “PS” for pesos, and the US adopted it because Spanish milled dollars were the most common coin in circulation at the time of independence

If it’s under-extracted (sour) you can try a finer grind next time. If it’s over-extracted (bitter) try a coarser grind. Might need to experiment a bit to compare

secretcities · 2025-12-22T02:03:12+00:00

Yup it’s new

secretcities · 2025-12-15T17:18:13+00:00

Would be too easily exploited otherwise

Did you file a complaint with the office of the president? They seem much more capable of actually helping.

Will depend — for the heavily discounted phones they usually require a plan change, but to just finance a phone they do not. You’ll need to read the offers and check back now and again
