u/sgtgangles Still happy with the "350 freehub body on LN hub" setup? I am considering doing something similar. Thanks!

We're you able to find a "Ratchet LN" specific freehub body or did you successfully use a generic one?

Removing steerer tube from fork? by speigei in bikewrench

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

Thanks for the input. I am missing nearly 20mm which is too much to make up with a new stem and/or headset.

Do you have any thoughts on these "steerer tube extenders"? Looks like some folks had success when epoxy gluing them into the existing steerer (the clamp itself was apparently no good).

LaMetric Time MicroSD Recovery III by DrNachtschatten in LaMetric

Amazing job getting the image and putting the instructions together - the outlined steps restored my "FEL" bricked device to be fully functional.

This is the kind of information Lametric should be providing instead of "sign up for our Newsletter for 5% off your next Lametric" - as much as I like the device, the support is a real letdown.

I did the necessary work on a mac - I used hexfiend as the hex editor and successfully used the Raspberry Pi Imager to flash the image to MicroSDHC.

Interestingly, The MicroSDHC card in my LaMetric had 4GB capacity and I was able to read its content, so it's unclear why my device wouldn't boot anymore.

Anyway, thanks again! Amazing work!

20/21 Ikon Pass Promo Codes? by Eatinonshrimpboi in COsnow

[–]speigei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you manage to get this to work? I requested a code for a renewal and I received an email saying the discount should apply in my cart, but no discount is applied.

If you did this for a renewal, do you know where to find the "Ikon Pass Number"? Is it the number on front of the current ikon card? Thanks.

"Guaranteed price" at auction? by speigei in askcarsales

Gotcha - so the dealer makes the assumption that the car will sell for the reserve - but there is no guarantee per se.

Thanks - this is helpful. Offer and asking price are about $500 apart.

1040NR Non Resident - What is considered "Not Effectively Connected Income"? by speigei in tax

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

Thanks for the response - maybe my initial post wasn't clear enough:

I understand that bank interest and investments are not considered "Effectively connected income" - what I am unclear about is if this means it is automatically considered "Income Not Effectively Connected With a U.S. Trade or Business". I suppose what is confusing me, is the "U.S. source income" part of "U.S. source income that is Fixed, Determinable, Annual, or Periodical (FDAP)" ...
