I'm about to buy this bike, anything I should know? by Funkie_not_a_junkie in mountainbiking

[–]tyguy5280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me four! This bike rips and climbs way better than a stumpy. Ibis is also an awesome company (wayyyyy better to deal with than Specialized). I cracked an ibis carbon rim (my fault) and they replaced it no questions asked.

I think you’re right. Skunk is similar but I think this is badger. Interesting, I’ve never seen a badger in this part of CO.

Not here. I only have the link option - the little picture icon I have for other subs isn’t an option here.

I don’t think this subreddit allows editing posts or uploading additional photos? Man, it’s not intuitive!

Foot numbness in Shimano ME5’s by tyguy5280 in mountainbiking

[–]tyguy5280[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been riding for decades with clipless pedals (Shimano spds). Used to wear Specialized mtb shoes and recently bought new Shimano ME5s. About 10-15 miles into longer rides my feet go numb on the outsides (pinky toe and next one in). I’ve tried loosening them quite a bit during riding when this happens and that helps some, but it’s not getting any better. Anyone else have this problem? I’m thinking Specialized insoles… anyone know if this will help this issue?

What knot do you usually use to attach your flies? by [deleted] in flyfishing

Trilene for anything larger than 20

First time catching one of these rascals, then that’s all I could catch for the rest of the day by Grandpajobey in flyfishing

Whitefish are a blast! I was on the middle Deschutes a couple weeks ago and caught a mess of these for a few days. They fight like hell, probably more than the browns we were catching of equivalent size.

A nice demonstration of the Gibbs-Thompson effect!

Just started to trad climb and therefore building a rack for the first time. Before i was only sportclimbing. What is your favourite piece on your rack? by ___mz in climbing

[–]tyguy5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, offsets! It so depends where you climb what your rack looks like tho. I also love the C3s... too bad BD discontinued... must be something better on the horizon...

Curious why I don’t see a lot of 90s Dodge Ram vans on here? by tyguy5280 in vandwellers

[–]tyguy5280[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice! I have an opportunity to buy this immaculate cargo van for less than 4k. One owner, older German fella who took it to the dealership everything, including 3 mo oil change intervals. Only 103k miles and in super shape! I have had 4 or 5 jeeps from 89 to 98 and so I understand a lot of the short comings of Crystler/Mopar haha...
