I have a few of these and use them for things like block heaters with the diesel. Glad I read this thread though because it never occurred to me to use it for this. Thanks!
Hoping mine shows up within the week. It's the 160 TM version. I haven't been able to find any videos of either unboxing or assembly so has anyone seen any on youtube? Thx
I've gone through this in other sports. One thing is to keep an eye on your mental health. That's not a joke. One sign of depression is no longer finding joy in what you used to. Look, there is a lot going on these days and most of it is new stuff we have never had to deal with before...
Ski racers were all about looks. Now if you were a real skier, aka freestyler, then you went through so many skis it never mattered. Lol just kidding..
Pulled the trigger on the 160 and am pretty sure all the ladies now want me. Now I just gotta wait for it to arrive. Bugger the 7 days it will likely take.
Looking at either the 140 or 160 and I'm in a twix as to which is better for me. I'm not a hucker or going to hit big jumps but I'm a fat guy and weigh in at 270lbs. Some of my challenges, in addition to being a newb and out of shape, is that I struggle with the tight switchback turns. So I...
Personally I think the HT with sus seatpost sounds like a great option based on what you've outlined as your goals. Any bike will always be a compromise so get the one that meets 75%+ of what you'll use it for.
Maybe that's not the best way to ask my question, but I used to ride MTB a lot about 15 years ago. I would only ride XT and my brakes were Hope Mini. At the time I wouldn't consider anything less than either due to reliability of shifting and braking. Is that the same today or has performance...
Definitely the Fenix. Maybe I should sell my old ones since I have a 3 and 5 laying unused and only use my 6 nowadays. Awesome watch, can upload and very dependable in quickly finding your location.
This just made me cake my shorts lol as you must have the red/black since that's teh bike I was looking at. It looks as bad as you did with the letter opener sticking out of ya. Truly make me want to rattlecan paint it but can't do that if I'm dropping so much Rona coin on it.
Have you ever bought a bike that rode like a dream but looked worse than your ex-wife? Ok I don't have an ex-wife and that was a joke but I'm looking at a bike that rides just great but every time I look at it I can't stand it. Have you gone through this? Did you ever start to like the looks...
Helmet - which one?
Any other pads - elbows, knees, gloves? which ones are you wearing?
Just getting back into mtb, now emtb. Maybe it's my age but thinking about the bigger picture now.
That's what's really hitting me. Since supply is so low, many have to buy bikes online and have them shipped. It's one thing to do that if you're buying directly from a mfg knowing you'll have to have some knowledge, skills and tools. But it's a different math equation if you're buying a more...
