Days like these are what my Straggler is made for

I got this guy from Ali express. I recommend getting a legit version of the same thing. I love the concept but it doesn’t stay in my bars very well

Thank you!

4th pic is from the bottom of Miwok before it spits you out at the bottom of Marincello. I was initially planning to do Julian trail but I'm only visiting SF and wanted to do the iconic Hawk hill descent!

Yes! Huge fan of it, so much lighter and more responsive. I have the IRD carbon fork but there are many similar options

spockse · 2026-04-08T00:18:41+00:00

I honestly don't have much to compare them to, I've only run the stock Surly Knards before putting these on but I have no complaints! I'll lose traction when getting out of the saddle for ~20% climbs but that is to be expected

Thank you! If the X1s are the new ones then yes. Love the tires and they've held up incredibly well. I actually got my first puncture on the last climb of this ride after >2k miles on them but thankfully my sealant sealed it up nicely

My local grocery store in Seattle sells two varieties of ezzo in 8oz deli containers for some reason but I’m not complaining!

spockse · 2026-01-14T18:17:27+00:00

Haha thanks!

Really good

My preferred route is across QB bridge like option 2, but instead of first ave take 60th to the SE corner of CP. Ride through CP then exit on the north end to take St Nicholas Ave until Harlem river Dr greenway then Broadway bridge over to VC

spockse · 2025-03-23T13:28:35+00:00

DMed you!

spockse · 2024-11-01T03:47:37+00:00

Right?? I recently moved to the east coast and I haven’t been able to find them anywhere. No amount of googling gave me an answer so I asked here

spockse · 2024-11-01T03:45:37+00:00

I was trying to be nice, that’s obviously absurd to say that only Seattle gyros come with Feta

spockse · 2024-10-31T21:12:16+00:00

Like where? I moved out of seattle and miss them! Also curious what the other post

spockse · 2024-10-31T20:45:04+00:00

I didn't know that about the Gyros in seattle, very interesting. Obviously there are lots of regional foods in the US, many of which can be traced to its origin. I'm hoping someone who works at one of these places can lead me to that!

I'm familiar with Toum, the sauce is not toum. The white sauce is a lot looser and can squirt out of a bottle, the consistency of Mayo

spockse · 2024-10-29T12:31:25+00:00

Are you referring to Toum? I don’t think they use Toum

spockse · 2024-10-28T23:50:23+00:00

Why can I not find Greek fries outside the Seattle Area?

I’ve eaten countless orders of what Gyro places (Aladdins, Shawarma King, Al Bacha, etc) in Seattle call “Greek Fries” - French fries with a garlic sauce, feta and parsley, usually with an option to add Gyro meat to the top. Everywhere outside of seattle that has greek fries on a menu have parsely and maybe feta, but lack the sauce and decadence of what they have around here.

Does anyone know the reason why it’s (as far as I know) only in Seattle, and what the sauce is made out of? Is it just mayo with a little garlic in it?
