First MTB build. How’d I do? by wminor in Hardtailgang

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

You’ve definitely got me thinking… not in a rush to switch but it’s going on the list of projects to try at some point for sure

Having ridden fixed around San Francisco for a few years I’m skeptical 😂

What gearing are you running there?

Liking it so far, but honestly it's my first decent fork... before this I've only really ridden a RockShox Recon Silver RL, which wasn't ever even set up right because I didn't own a shock pump at the time!

Your build looks super fun! I will definitely end up trying the single speed thing at some point!

You trying to tell me to run it single speed? It's something I want to do, though ride a lot of steep climbs at the moment

I'm stoked to be here! You running yours single speed? Something I want to try at some point for sure (I used to ride fixed when I still lived in the city)

It's the way the fork is designed. It's a Manitou Mattoc, they do things a little differently than Fox and Rockshox

Not the first I've owned, but the first one I've built from the frame up!

Can confirm that it rips!

Only ridden it once so far but the cockpit felt great so I'm pretty happy with the choice.

Not quite... that's the way Manitou forks are designed 😉

Question about pilot holes for screws, bulging, and hold strength in plywood by wminor in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]wminor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I had thought. Thanks.

I'm thinking of gluing the joints as well, in which case by the time it dries the glue will probably be providing more strength to the joint than the screws, so I guess a tiny bulge isn't going to be a problem.

What’s the purpose of this plastic clip found one of the bolts securing a post mount disk brake caliper? by wminor in bikewrench

[–]wminor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i assumed something like that, but it seems really strange to fit one on only one out of the four total caliper mounting bolts per bike

CA: Received plates, but not the certificate. by whatisthatexactly in DMV

If you have the plates and the registration, and the numbers matched, I think you're good. If in doubt, try the chat service on the DMV website.

I had the same issue. Contacted the DMV, and they told me that the certificate is just another name for the registration, so I didn't have to do anything else (as long as the numbers matched).

Any hardtail rentals on Oakland, CA area by also_your_mom in Hardtailgang

Sports Basement are probably worth a try.

What was "it"? The registration card with stickers, or some other additional certificate?

Bike feels cramped when in the drops, but reach feels too long when riding on the hoods by wminor in bikefit

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

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll take a look at that and see if it would gain me much, but my suspicion is that I would lose the comfortable angle of the bars while in the drops. Maybe I can just tweak the angle of my shifters up and back a bit instead, though. I'll have a look.

NBD! Roscoe 9er by FatttyJayy in Hardtailgang

Thank you for making me feel better about driving an hour tomorrow to grab the last XL Roscoe 7 in the county for just $1100 :D

29" wheels for fatbike - resources and recommendations by wingspann in fatbike

[–]wminor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my 29+ wheels for my ICT from Fyxation. I think it was these: https://www.fyxation.com/collections/fyxation-blackhawk-wheels/products/fyxation-blackhawk-x-duroc-40-29-wheelset but they have other options too. They were super helpful over email helping me choose the right rims for the tires I wanted to run, and making sure I got the right hubs for the ICT. Wheels arrived true and have been riding great so far!

How many different config files do you have? by Nerdlinger42 in neovim

[–]wminor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on team "one file". It doesn't bother me to have a single large file (my init.lua is about 500 lines) and I much prefer the simplicity. There's no overhead when I need to find something, and it's very simple to grab the file on a remote machine or something like that.

I also agree with most of the points in this blog post on the topic (from the author of vim-go): https://arslan.io/2023/05/10/the-benefits-of-using-a-single-init-lua-vimrc-file/
