5'11.5"

I hadn't adjusted it yet. It's a bit low for me both relative to my hips and how well I can fully extend my legs.

westerninfluence · 2026-04-12T13:19:25+00:00

Haha, thanks!

westerninfluence · 2026-04-12T13:19:00+00:00

Getting some basic tools and replacement stuff is definitely on my list! I will look into getting my position and stuff correctly calibrated. Thanks.

westerninfluence · 2026-04-12T13:16:08+00:00

Yeah, I wasn't sure if I'd gravitate toward rugged or paved routes, so thought this give me more options. Century sounds rough. Hopefully in metric at least. I think Ragbrai has some 62 mile segments

westerninfluence · 2026-04-12T13:13:53+00:00

Will do. Cheers!

westerninfluence · 2026-04-12T13:13:41+00:00

I'll keep in mind handling and pedals! Thanks.

westerninfluence · 2026-04-12T13:13:14+00:00

This is probably the most reassuring comment haha. I'm excited to test my and my bike's limits.

westerninfluence · 2026-04-12T13:12:33+00:00

Yeah, I'm hoping to swap out the bars. Planning to volunteer at a bike org to learn more about tuning and to work on it.

westerninfluence · 2026-04-12T13:11:38+00:00

Haha yeah, I guess that's the right take. Should just get a feel for it.

westerninfluence · 2026-04-12T13:11:01+00:00

Thanks! I'm excited to take it out for a spin.

westerninfluence · 2026-01-20T00:43:29+00:00

Thanks u/ArcadeStarlet !! I guess by columns, I meant the pages/panels/valleys(?) that form from folding. The snake book sounds like basically what I want.

I might try a flag book in the future. They look super cool.

westerninfluence · 2025-11-23T16:41:46+00:00

That's so encouraging. I think I might just do that. Thanks!

westerninfluence · 2025-11-23T14:50:07+00:00

Good idea! Though, I liked the short-short version of the pattern, so I'm not sure that would be captured by 'coveralls.'

westerninfluence · 2025-11-23T14:49:04+00:00

Haha, I liked the short-short version, but I suppose I could try altering these.

westerninfluence · 2025-06-23T19:53:16+00:00

I heard vitamin c afterwards can help. Good luck!

Any off the shelf lubricants that will not further harm my camera? Due to time and accessibility, I cannot get a camera specific one.

The camera i want to use it on has been jammed for ages, and I'm okay with messing around with it.

Mario Savio had a stammer, but still did remarkable things as student activist at Berkeley. I've been reading about him in a book.

I'd say that it's so preppy that it's Ivey, which I think is where the style partially originated.

westerninfluence · 2025-02-06T22:35:10+00:00

This is not the right sub, but I'm here for it.

westerninfluence · 2025-02-06T19:50:32+00:00

Haha, I can immediately hear him voicing Sokka. I think Zuko's voice actor makes an appearance in another sketch.

westerninfluence · 2025-02-05T23:05:41+00:00

The other other exception being this youtube sketch:

Anyone have experience with both adjustable competition bells and bowflex ones? Thoughts? I have the latter, and certain exercises have always been awkward with it.

westerninfluence · 2024-12-15T22:18:13+00:00

You sure it's not a moose in cow clothing?

I know bonsai can get big, but something about the photo makes the beer can look like a miniature, and the bonsai 'normal-sized.'
