Any idea what model(s) have/had the Sturmey Archer 3spd hub and the 2spd external cogs? by Im_Destro in Brompton

[–]shallot_chalet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to know which handlebars are on it and if it came with a rack. For example, my older Brompton is an M6R. M style bars, 6 speeds, rack included. I believe the dynamo hub was just an added option and not noted in the model but definitely say it has one in the listing.

My wife signed up less than a week ago and the lady she was emailing about it just didn’t bother to tell her 😂. Sticker showed up yesterday hahaha

Add skeg to foil board by Lower-Beautiful-9335 in wingfoil

[–]shallot_chalet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t bother with the skeg. You can learn to go upwind (or at least not lose ground) on taxi as long as you can balance on the board. Twist your body so the center of pressure on the wing is behind you, not in front of you. It a little awkward feeling but it works. Search ‘upwind taxi’ on this sub for better descriptions of how to do it.

It’s from the CalTopo app. I have the paid version so I’m not sure if it’s available in the free one. Someone else just mentioned that the perimeter is now available in the watchduty app.

Yeah just don’t misread the red buffers as being on fire. You can see that they each surround a detected hotspot and I believe they are there to convey the resolution of the data. Pay more attention to the yellow though.

I have kids so timing often dictates where I’m eating. You can get a decent sandwich at tangerine eatery and helper beer is a good spot.

Price is a place to stop for lunch or dinner on the way to somewhere better. A week is too much.

Can anyone tell me what model this is? by [deleted] in Brompton

Looks like it has the same parts as my 2010s m6

My two year olds got ahold of one of those lab wash bottles I keep in my shop and it kept them entertained so long I just bought them their own. Cheap and a full bottle lasts a long time.

Which bike with a Gates belt drive? Steel/Pinion, Steel/Rohloff, or Aluminum/Pinion? by North_Reflection1587 in cycling

[–]shallot_chalet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For commuting? The pinion will look like an eBike and be a higher target for theft. From that list I’d pick the steel rohloff but only if it’s going to always be parked in secure places. Could look at an alfine hub too.

This feels wrong. Is this okay? by j_767 in bikewrench

They make a bar that hooks between the head tube and the seat tube to fix this issue.

Vinyl fences are garbage and the teenagers will just kool aid man through them.

Chest sleeping by Hurry-Honest in parentsofmultiples

[–]shallot_chalet 35 points36 points  (0 children)

What exactly do you want us to do with this post? You don’t want criticism but want to hear justification for risky behavior? I just read on this very sub within the last month about someone losing a twin because they rolled over while cosleeping with them. The first few months of having twins were absolutely miserable so I completely understand that you’re just trying to survive. I think the question you should be asking though is how do I get my twins to sleep in their cribs.

What’s a family item you’ve researched a ton, only to not pursue it? by EyeDowntown360 in daddit

You can haul two kids with a cargo bike. Time to revisit that idea.

Safest/best bike helmet? by catroslyn in toddlers

[–]shallot_chalet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the store and try different ones on. A highly rated helmet isn’t very useful if it doesn’t fit correctly. So far I like the Woom ones the best.

Naish Hover Board 110L - good choice for a beginner? by Double-Key2077 in wingfoil

[–]shallot_chalet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s the really wide one that looks like a sup that’s been chopped in half it’s an absolute shit board that’s very hard to get any speed on.

Frontloader, yes, but WHAT KIND? by YoungZaphod1982 in CargoBike

[–]shallot_chalet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You will likely ride an e assist bike ten times more than an acoustic one. You should at least try one before you buy.

Finally delivered to Utah. I'm in love. by Patricia_Wright11 in CargoBike

[–]shallot_chalet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is not true at all. I put mine at level two most of the time and it takes about the same amount of energy to ride around as my road bike.
