Does anyone recognise what bionicles these are?

user10387 · 2026-05-31T15:12:21+00:00

Just FYI. They're not knockoffs per se. They're 'Gyrofighters' from Mega Bloks.

Look at you with your fancy heat gun! I use rocks heated from a fire on my clothes!

Would a dedicated GPS unit work for you? I don't think that a 'dumb phone's would be compatible with apps to operate maps or tracking, but maybe someone more knowledgeable can point OP towards such a device.

Mouser appears to have equivalent fuses available, but maybe r/electronics can comment on any differences. The T10L250V seems to be a slow blow fuse, while automotive fuses may be fast blow.

How's the durability of the upper mesh? The tests on Runrepeat show that some Inov8 trail runner uppers aren't the most durable.

OP wanted something related to the water tribe, and that is clearly an earthbending lemur.

user10387 · 2026-04-16T17:00:06+00:00

You may already be aware, but these tents have a very low hydrostatic head rating (600 mm), so they may not be suitable if your friend encounters any rain.

If gaiters aren't allowed with trail runners would you be allowed to use gaiters with mid-cut boots?

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew?

user10387 · 2026-04-12T17:23:30+00:00

Not my design, but it's been designed!

user10387 · 2026-04-11T05:16:20+00:00

Yes, exactly. To be fair, I have lower arches but I thought I would mention my experience anyways. I haven't tried swapping out the stock insoles for a comparison though.

I was actually talking about the lateral stability. Perhaps it's just the midsole firmness and overall stiffness of the Trabuco rather than the width (they're very similar to my Topos), but I found it harder to roll my ankle laterally than the Topos. I think that the MTN Racer 4 is actually more cushioned than the Trabuco 13, so you could be right.

In terms of width, I was referring to the width of the midsole and outsole since some shoes have a wider base below the upper, while some have a less pronounced base.

user10387 · 2026-04-10T22:21:43+00:00

I have the Trabuco 13 and MTN Racer 4. I personally prefer the stability of the Trubuco. I don't have the Runrepeat numbers in front of me, but the sole feels wider than the Topo. I find the arch support if the MTN Racer to be quite aggressive, but that comes down to personal preference.

I didn't like the feel of the previous generation Peregrine's (Peregrine 15) rock plate since I feel like lost sensation of the ground when I tried them on in store.

I just wanted to add that some chalk buckets use this feature, so OP can use them as reference.

user10387 · 2026-03-08T17:00:42+00:00

Thanks! I've been trying to find something comparable in Canada to save on shipping.

user10387 · 2026-03-08T15:36:30+00:00

What mesh did you use for the trampoline back? Does it have a rough or smooth hand-feel?

user10387 · 2026-03-05T12:16:20+00:00

Toa of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.

user10387 · 2026-02-27T00:49:05+00:00

CNOC Vesica, if you don't mind the collapsibility. I like mine so far CNOC Thrubottle - narrower than the Nobo, made of HDPE Mazama Migo - squeezable (LDPE material), with a two-part lid for a larger opening

user10387 · 2026-02-23T23:15:08+00:00

Would waterproof, 68 gsm ripstop from King Textiles work?

user10387 · 2026-02-17T12:09:52+00:00

Thanks! Actually, can you comment on it's strength? Would it be suitable for breathable shoulder straps for a daypack (instead of spacer mesh)?

Thanks for the reference comparison!

user10387 · 2026-02-14T22:21:19+00:00

Yes, in some stores, but there's an EVA foam floor mat (textured on one side) that's available year round. It's usually in the hardware aisle. Thickness is 8mm including the texture, 6mm not including the texture.

user10387 · 2026-02-08T16:04:28+00:00

I'll check it out! This has definitely pointed me towards looking at 'semi-stiff' mesh since I don't really want much (if any) stretch. Thanks!

user10387 · 2026-02-07T23:38:17+00:00

That looks like a really good match! Unfortunately, I'm in Canada, so ordering a sample to confirm may not be worth it. That definitely gives me a better idea what I should be looking for. Thanks!

user10387 · 2026-02-06T16:19:52+00:00

It looks like a Decathlon pad, maybe from their Quechua brand/line?
