    Yeah they only make the components though, not frames. I love the new XTR stuff, especially the brakes. Even if I found the new gen XTR brakes on sale though, they use a specially formulated low viscosity brake fluid that is very expensive. I saw a video once of Chad Smith, drummer of Red Hot...

    Actually Mt Bikes can be had at much better deals than road bikes these days. COVID put Mt Biking into a boon never seen before due to so many people having tons of time on their hands. The boon settled down considerably when people went back to work. Now due to tariffs, a lot of mt bike...

    This is Betty Birrell, she's 77 and shreds North Shore BC downhill singletrack quite well for her age.

    I guess I'm an anomaly then, because at 67, I'm a so called "Baby Boomer", but I didn't start gaming until just after the year 2000 with games like Dues Ex, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, No One Lives Forever, etc. I don't feel I missed much though because I had no interest in the Donkey Kong or...

    I'd watch Olympic level badminton or wheelchair tennis before I'd watch pickleball, which is what is invading the area I live. We have 4 decent lit tennis courts next door to where I live, but they wheeled in little pickleball nets into each end of all 4 of them. :rolleyes:

    Not to change subject, but our Mariners MLB team after beating the Detroit Tigers in game 5 in a 15 inning shootout, went almost 2500 miles east to Toronto 2 days later and beat the Blue Jays in game 1 of the American League Championship Series. They came in the underdogs, most analysts saying...

    Not any metal though, has to be magnetic, which is why I said it needs ferrite in it. Cast iron and stainless steel are the two most common types of pots and pans used with induction. From what I've read though, the stainless needs to be of a certain grade.

    But everyone knows basic black is always in style! Seriously though, if that's infrared you gonna love it. A friend gave me her old Flavor Wave IR oven she never used as a parting gift when I moved to another location. I've found it to be the absolute best way to cook fish n chips, and many...

    No pic of the finished job? What a tease, I'm a bit disappointed now. :(

    Finished it some time ago, but had already beaten it on Crushing a long time ago on a lesser rig where I had a lot of hitching on the convoy segment. On my current rig everything played very smoothly even at 4K max settings. I can't help but think a lot of it was due to a MUCH faster NVMe...

    That one would no doubt be Yooka Unlikelee for clumsy adults like me! Two of my older brothers when I was young were pretty good with instruments, one drums, the other guitar and piano. I could never move my fingers independently well enough to manage guitar or piano. Then there's timing and...

    Maybe at some point in the future drone laws will relax a bit and their battery tech will allow longer range and we can just send one about a half mile ahead on the highway and it would be programmed to alert of hazards on the road. Just set it to auto return every so many miles, slap in a...

    Well I certainly hope so, otherwise you won't even make it to my age!

    Joke or not, I'm sure those neighbors would be paying attention at that point. :ROFLMAO: The odd thing is, pretty much ALL Pitbull puppies I've seen look so cute and innocent. I'm pretty sure most that get unsafe toward humans when they're full grown are owned by people that only care about...
