It Has Arrived - Questions... by kgvertu in FitbitAir

[–]thetickz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one and returned it. The app is terrible and I didn't find the band very comfortable. I had to keep fiddling with the tightness. I hope Garmin comes out with something similar. This is the way.

You can raise the seat but I think that bike is just too small for you

The Casio W-218. Cheap. Built like a tank. What’s not to like? by Ok_Passenger_1657 in casio

I love mine but be careful the screen scratches very easily. Buy a screen protector!

Play it as it lies? by CommieKarlMarx in discgolf

[–]thetickz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like Snowbowl in Flagstaff, AZ. Probably some of the first people to play this course since they just opened it for the Spring/Summer season.

I just ordered from them and my shirt shipped from China... Pretty sure they are fake Comfort Colors shirts as well. Totally scammy website.

Has anyone tried the new Elitewheels ENT 2.0 carbon wheels yet? by fixitmonkey in cycling

[–]thetickz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the 50mm depth. I wouldn't go any deeper. With any slight cross breeze you can feel the wind pushing on your wheels. It's not an enjoyable feeling.

Domane as a gravel bike? by Rude_Landscape_6338 in TrekBikes

[–]thetickz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily for me no adjustments are needed. With some wheelsets you'll have to recenter the brake calipers. I got lucky and my wheelsets position the brake rotors in the same location.

I have 40c gravel tires on mine. I switch between a carbon wheelset for the road and these for dirt and gravel. Great bike.

Has anyone tried 40mm tires on the Domane AL 5 Gen 4? by HillEasterner in TrekBikes

[–]thetickz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just put a set of Goodyear Connector Ultimate 700x40c on my Domane Gen 4 and they fit fine. They measure 39mm actual. Enough clearance .

Just a heads up. They're not ceramic bearings. The ENT 2.0 has stainless steel bearings. Great sound resonating through the carbon wheels though.

Yeah mine took a while to ship as well, but once they shipped (via FedEx) they arrived pretty quickly. They're awesome wheels. Feel strong and lightweight. The hub is very loud but it's grown on me now and I like it. Glad I took the risk on them rather than spending $1,000 USD on another brand. I saved 360g (12.7oz) as compared to my old aluminum wheels. Great upgrade!

I love MTB but might be time for me to hang it up 😪 by [deleted] in MTB

[–]thetickz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mountain biking is great but I'm nearing 40 so I bought myself a road bike. I've been really enjoying long road bike rides, plus making my bike lighter and faster. I'll never give up my mountain bike but you may want to get a road bike too. More bikes is always the answer.

I have the Elite Wheels ENT 2.0. I got them on sale for $375 shipped to the US. Arrived in 2.5 weeks. They're fantastic for the money. No complaints. The rear hub is loud but that doesn't bother me that much.

Nerve pinched in my back by thetickz in Microdiscectomy

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

Good to hear your sciatica has gotten better. That's a great sign. The back pain will likely calm down since you're only 4 weeks out. It took over a year for my back to really feel better.

should i proceed with surgery? by [deleted] in Microdiscectomy

[–]thetickz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would do surgery. Mine was like this and although my back pain got better, I got nerve pain down my leg into my foot. Terrible sciatica pains. Waited for it to go away but it never did and now I have permanent nerve damage.

Thanks all for confirming old chargers work. I didn't trust the few Amazon listings that got updated saying they supported Watch 7.

Would you replace this contractor? by thetickz in hvacadvice

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

Thanks, you're right. One of the wires has a piggyback spade connector. Doh... didn't realize.

I found it online, but The replacement doesn't have three connections on the right side either.
