Happy Caterday, You Milfy Monkeys
- Thread starter rideit
- Start date
Went OTB (2x) while riding in Boise. One of the times bike was tossed into some rocks and my bars got hammered.
Luckily Bikes and Bean had a set of the bars I would have ordered anyway. Stayed up last night installing bars. Went from 38mm rise to 50mm. Ended up cutting 20mm off my steerer tube last night and shit appears dialed now.
Bikes and Bean in Boise Idaho had the clutch kit for my derailleur. Andrew put it in, straightened my hanger and tuned up my shifts. We replaced the barrel adjuster for my dropper remote because I broke it in half. They fixed my bike in under 24 hours and I am grateful for that.
For cash spent, 5% comes back in the form of free coffee.
Just in case anyone wanted to know...

Greenway is roughed in. Needs power raked but good for today.
More importantly time to build some jumps.
Hell yeah, Stoney, I loved mine.
Just curious for my own pricing, what did you pay for what kind of kit?

Be careful around rocks with that thing if you've never used one. They're kind of brittle, hardened tool steel. Best scrub scraper ever made.
$3k. 2018 70C. Stock ex-Raceface grips. Barely used; not even chainslap.
Damn. That’s excellent. I have mine priced way too high, probably, but full FOX factory suspension with Luftkappe, brand new XT/SLX, (cassette, XT four pot brakes and levers, XT shifter, SLX derailluer) brand new wheels, rotors, handlebar, saddle, stem, X2, Carbon Crankset, Absolute Black 28t chainring, etc…not sure how to price mine.
Sounds expensive…
I’m gonna ask $5450 and see what happens. I definitely had my fun on it.
Curiously, I think it actually looks crappier with the pro-installed ride-wrap after two seasons.

A few houses down...a few of these things are just like the others.
They are renting that house for $100,000 for 12 months. Unfurnished.

Yeah those things are useful but they do tend to look s bit rubbish after a while.

had the most amazing experience cutting the cable today. Been thinking about it for a while, but they don't make it easy to do online. Called them up, zero hold time, told them I saw that they were offering gigabit internet to new customers for 90 and I wanted that. Went through the whole thing, after all the discounts I'm at $55 for gigabit internet with the router and extender. I leave behind $212 worth of TV, phone, and internet. Can't believe we waited this long, verizon fios ftw.
We cut the cable years ago. The best thing I've done tv wise since then is a Roku Ultra.
we're figuring out what to do. Already have netflix and prime, probably signing up for hbo max and hulu. Possibly paramount+. The kids usually stick to netflix, but honestly regular cable just wasn't doing it. For the $170/mo saving, I've got a huge new crack budget.
Hey does your roku include anything free? Any subs or anything? We have a smart tv but want to maintain programming for the kids
Haley raced adults this morning. She had two ripper fast Jr sessions and wanted to squeeze one more in. 11 person session and she lapped the field; 1.5sec fastest lap faster than the next closest person. Only 1sec off her best time and she never had a clear track - min 3 passes per lap.
She's getting her braking and turn-in points for the adult karts down. There was way less chatter than usual, which is an issue because of her weight. She also intentionally tap-passed someone going into a corner, which is never seen her do. Also under-passed someone on the front corners and forced him into the wall (or brake). He blocked the fast line (while going slower) so she cut under, placed her exit line, which would be faster, and never yielded it. She just ran the apex and he ran out of space. It was wild to watch, since I'm normally on track with her.
I think I'm going to drop her into an adult race every week...

There's some free stuff, but we still have all the subscriptions you listed. Pbs kids is a good free one. The thing about the Roku is that it's just easy to use and puts all your streaming apps in one place. And I mean easy enough that both my kids and my parents were able to figure out how to use it.
Edit: there is more free stuff but not subscriptions. More ad supported channels but not local. But with the subscriptions we have we don't use them other than pbs kids

Got it out at the house too. Maybe 10 minutes of pea sized stuff. You? Any damage?First hailstorm of the season just rolled through.
I haven’t had anything other than Internet since my roommate moved out in 2007. Shit didn’t have a tv until 2010 or so. Apple TV now with Netflix and Disney+. +1 for PBS kids, watching Eleanor at the moment.
Thankfully no damage. Just very unusual in early April.
If you aren't super concerned about price, the NVIDA Shield is pretty cool but their game controllers are crap so you are better off using a PS or X-Box controller.
NVIDIA seem to listen to customers and provide useful updates which is not something I am used to.
Jesus, my friend Andy just got this as a surprise for his 50th birthday.
He works as a NURSE. (but they own multiple properties and a plane).
Yeesh.

So apex laps next weekend then?
With Wifey?
Tomorrow will be me running around with Hannah, no pedals on her bike learning to use the handbrakes, and Wifey relearning how to ride a bike after last summer's crash.
