New upper link for the suspension on the new wHip. Changes the leverage ratio of the bike so the squish is squishier in the beginning of the stroke but has a bit more progression so it's firmer at the end. Changes the geo of the bike slightly as well, little bit slacker and a little bit lower. Could be awesome, could be terrible. Could also be no difference.what is it
Tough choices.I have an interview on Thursday because the recruiter wouldn't take no. Salaries are kinda crazy and they are talking 20-30% over what I make now which seems like a lot. The big downside is location as they are an hour + away. Currently on hybrid 3 day schedule with talk of going to 2 days in office. My commute now is 45 minutes or less where as this would be an hour best case, up to 2 with traffic. This is a leadership role where as my current role might evolve into that.
When I took this gig the intent was to stay until the end, but I like money. Also the new gig is supporting environmental causes vs this gig supporting manufacturing of consumer waste.
That'd be an automatic no from me dawg.My commute now is 45 minutes or less where as this would be an hour best case, up to 2 with traffic.
you'll know when you get there.but how low is too low?
they have the one for your bike for sale in the Scratch n Dent section.New upper link for the suspension on the new wHip
My usual "office hours" are 6-3 sort of deal to avoid the hot mess, but I84 is generally a shitshow and that's how you get to the east side, so there is that. I don't know exactly where on the east side they are exactly, I will look that up now.That'd be an automatic no from me dawg.
An hour drive is one thing, especially if you're moving. But when that doubles and you're just sitting there in an endless parking lot, nope. Not until you can take a nap or watch a movie while the car drives itself home.
Nothing really?
7th wedding anniversary today. Took the day off, got nothing planned.
Working for an org that isn’t evil is really nice, but 2hr commutes are awful. Guess you’re too locally entrenched to just move?My usual "office hours" are 6-3 sort of deal to avoid the hot mess, but I84 is generally a shitshow and that's how you get to the east side, so there is that.

<edit> Google says 45 minutes currently from home to office location and 9:45 isn't great, so maybe not as bad as anticipated.
The "team" is either one dude or it starts with me but won't be more than 3 in the next couple of years. So maybe not awful and it could just be me.Tough choices.
But managing people is BS.
We can't decide where to move to, so we have just stayed put. Our current location isn't great for anything really, but the market is all sorts of mess here so we just pay on our place and bitch about it.Working for an org that isn’t evil is really nice, but 2hr commutes are awful.

Be careful of this situation. Invariably the report is a completely lazy fuck and the boss is a total dickhead.<snip> it could just be me.
if you get more progression it might translate to firmer mid support thus cancelling the lower BB. On which bike?New upper link for the suspension on the new wHip.

Of the four basic things it does, I'm only concerned about one of those things. And that's the lower BB height. This new bike is lower than the last bike, and I haven't noticed any increase in pedal strikes or general decrease in clearance (Clarence) but how low is too low?
When is your flight back home? I’m actually flying to LA this afternoon for work, was going to ping you later about maybe meeting up. Depending on timing, I could give you a lift to the airport. My flight is at 4 PM.Last full day in the Denver area. Planning to meet up with @Nick.
The one that was just delivered this morning was purchase from the scratch and dent section.they have the one for your bike for sale in the Scratch n Dent section.
Yeti SB130LRif you get more progression it might translate to firmer mid support thus cancelling the lower BB. On which bike?
That’s quite the offer! I’m flying out at 1pm tomorrow, and was planning to head for the airport in the late morning. Depending on your schedule maybe we can connect in LA.When is your flight back home? I’m actually flying to LA this afternoon for work, was going to ping you later about maybe meeting up.

FAA. Though they seem more interested in ramp operations this morning than anything.Of which variety?
That’s the weirdest looking stem I’ve ever seen.New experiment arrived today. Not sure if this is a bit or a bob, but I’m reasonably excited to see how it changes the ride of the ride.

Still a better looking stem than @Da Peach 's original one.That’s the weirdest looking stem I’ve ever seen.
Sooo, bike for the newborn already on order?Holy shit.
Baby was born yesterday morning at 4:32am. Was a rough couple of days, but totally worth it. Nearly cried when she looked me in the eyes for the first time. I'm at home with my older girls, wife is still at the hospital with baby. Fingers crossed that I can bring them home today. Wife is in serious need of sleep, so I'll be on duty today.
Have you never seen a Girvin flexstem? Perfect for your fully rigid 26er, when paired with a thud buster seat post!What what?

Friday's team meeting went off the rails here. One person said they weren't going to do the work anymore because [legit reasons] and to fire him if they want. Another said they weren't doing software work arounds because [legit reasons]. Manager go laid into for expecting more out of people when the pay raises received didn't account for the amount of work they wanted. Came in today to an HR nightmare posted in our team chat that has my mgr trying to reorganize the entire region.Tough choices.

he'll be hooked before he knows it!Hang out and show him the ropes?
It’ll be at least a day or two, not sure I can handle the suspense.he'll be hooked before he knows it!
i hope it was fun.....Last full day in the Denver area. Planning to meet up with @Nick.
