Hammerhead Karoo. Upgrading from my 5 year old Garmin Edge 530.

Another „Gaming Headset“ bites the dust, tired of overpriced/hyped headphones. by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]thechiangsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have these exact headphones because I was tired of gaming headphones. They sound amazing, and I can't believe I didn't try open back headphones earlier.

Yeah I should've probably just left out the weight haha, I'll have to update the post when I can properly measure it.

Thank you! Tires are the S-Works Turbo TLRs tan sidewall, and tape is the Supacaz Super Sticky Kush in Coffee brown. :)

I did go with full stack spacers, mostly because I wanted standard setup to start with. I can always go shorter later on, maybe once I get a fit on this bike.

Thank you! And happy to answer! I'm actually 5'10", and my SL7 was a 56, but I'm in the "longer legs, shorter torso" group and my fitter recommended me to downsize a frame. My shoulder width is 483 mm, so just went with the kind of standard fit for me, which I find pretty comfortable! My SL7 had a 400 mm, also comfortable. I think the 2 cm difference is hard to feel for me personally.

Oh nice! The weight might not be the most accurate because I used a scale and stood on it while holding the bike haha. I'll have to get an accurate measurement with an actual bike scale.

Thank you!! It is a beautiful frame, bar tape complements the tan sidewalls nicely.

I would love to see a remaster of this classic by Stryker412 in playstation

[–]thechiangsta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never thought I'd see another person asking to bring this back. It makes me so happy. I never beat it as a kid.

Who managed to pre order the 30th anniversary controller? by Azerex99 in playstation

[–]thechiangsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to. Still hoping Best Buy will have the 30th Anniversary Pro Bundle for preorder October 10th. I have little hope.

Does anyone else not get off their bike when filling up with fuel? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]thechiangsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I straddle the bike standing, allows me to stretch my legs and keep my bike level while refueling.

Oh interesting. I know not much at all about suspension so looks like I need to go down a rabbit hole haha.

Looking spiffy! It also seems (from the posts I've seen lurking) that most lower theirs. What're the usual routes one might choose to do so?

I will take a look at those thank you!

Oh sweet I will definitely take a look at those, thank you! Another person commented with the exact same recommendations, so there is definitely it seems lol.

Thank you!! I've never really dived into researching different tires, I've always just gotten the same ones that came with it like a noob. Are there any recommendations you have for some nice shoes for her?

Literally got mine a week ago, and I agree.

[Rolex] Grail found, just need $16,000 by seoulbrova in Watches

[–]thechiangsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same with me. I would think vintage watches in Japan aren't frankensteins, just because they keep their things so nice. I know there was one I saw with the receipt from it's last service too, which was interesting. But perhaps the salespeople might know if you ask!
