Seems that when I’m fixing anything these days I have to consciously remind myself there is an an appropriate tool and methodology, rather than just jumping in with my years of ingrained “well I can’t afford anything more than what I already have so it’ll have to do” approach.
This is what's right with The Industry®

reminds me of the time i had to "true" a wheel with a very large branch.
Maybe he can branch out into a new niche, or should we just leaf that alone?
just wait until @rideit gets here!
please leave me alone.
Quit being so nosy.
So you wood like us to leaf you alone...
Are you new here?
Asking that is almost like an invitation to pile on.
Now I own Abbey tools instead of Abby Normal
anyone else notice that PB has been read only for roughly a day, after an extended downtime?
They’ve had some kind of database issue. It was a banner at the top of the site a day or so ago.
I still see it:i did see that when it first came back up. but that mention has since been removed.
I empathize with their IT team, not a great way of starting your holidays
Yup, that's the first thing I thought when I saw the banner.
I had a 'routine' windows auto update, that you can't turn off, lock me out of our network access and it took our IT like 3 days to resolve it...that did not help me resolve my workload, that's for sure.
That's why I love German companies and their change freeze periods. You don't do important stuff from early December until mid January. Between year end financial closures and people taking extended vacation time around the holidays there's simply too much to lose if something goes down.
In fact, my current employer encourages most of their 81k+ worldwide workforce to take paid time off from December 20 until January 2 this year. Suffice to say our 'murikan colleagues didn't quite understand this policy last year when they were invited to join us in the season's sabbatical.

I had no idea anyone made proper MTB's for huge humans, it might not be pretty but if it's what you need it's what you need.
It's also nice to see they raised the BB height so you can run decent length cranks and the long WB would want a higher BB to reduce pedal strikes anyway.

The short crank fad should die out soon.
Less chance of a pedal strikes because of shorter cranks......... run a lower gear so you do more RPM's and probably end up at the same likelihood of rock strikes.
Then you have the higher centre of mas/gravity whatever.
Tried 155mm for a couple of years, came to realise that it's silly and went back to normal length cranks.
Around 10 years back when I switched roadbike cranks from the stupid 172.5s it came with as they were giving me knee issues I remember my max increased by 10rpm. (it was already around 240 tho)
Flat pedals reduces my max cadence by 10rpm
Preferred cadence and average cadence doesn't change at all. Coz., yknow... Gearing.
