Thanks. This is what I am trying now. bought two cheap stems and am going to try them out. Current set up is 120mm but bought 100 and 90mm. Cost me $23. Figure I could send them back. Also trying the seat adjustment from other suggestions here. Thanks to all who responded!

Oh wow. Now they’re only averaging 53k. What a bargain.

Thanks for the rec!

Uh, wow. “Mouth breather”? Really? What a douchey reply. Just having a discussion here, guy. I said in my post that I dont normally order wings.

Fuck any EV news for 50k+ cars.

The power of anti-cheeto dust fingers.

I wonder if they made the lane long to allow for more merging options with the bike lane. I wouldn’t want to be in that bike lane, but it may be safer with a longer lane ( at least in theory).

It’s at the Art Institute in Chicago if you want to see the real deal.

Ok! So, I’m not a city expert, but here’s some suggestions: 1)The loop is great for architecture, but I personally think the more “neighborhoody” parts of Chicago have the best vibes. The loop is the central hub for the EL (elevated trains) which are a great way to get around and see the city. I would say heading north (Brown and Red lines) from the loop would lead to the best neighborhoods for exploring if you don’t your way around. Of course, in the loop, you’ll be walking distance from the museums (art institute, museum of contemporary art, field museum, etc). Also, michigan ave which is a touristy shopping district. For drinks, I recommend The Bergoff Millers Pub (I think these bars were the first to get liquor licenses after prohibition) But head north if you want some adventure! 2)For a first timer, the lincoln park, lakeview, and rodgers park neighborhoods would keep you plenty busy. Lots of bars, breweries, niche shops and weirdness. Lincoln park is the swankiest of those three neighborhoods fwiw. There are other great neighborhoods, but they might be more complicated to get to. You can buy EL passes from vending machines at each station. Or you could just uber. 3) Chicago is a great music city, so you could check some local venues to see who is playing during your stay if you want to catch another show. Some of the mid sized venues are the Metro, The Riviera, & Thalia hall, but there are so many more. I have a friend who is a world traveler, and whenever he has companions from outside the country visit, he takes the to the Green Mill. It’s this old Jazz bar. Great music and a great vibe.

Btw…who are you seeing at Rosemont?

Oh, it’s not that bad. Sure, we have some shitty cold days (or weeks) here and there, but it’s not like you’re going to the beach in Feb. I assume you are going to the Rosemont Horizon for your show? If so, that’s not in Chicago proper, which is where most of the action is. My experience in big cities is that you never really get to see the good stuff unless you know ppl there. You just get pulled into the tourist traps. If you leave some more deets on your stay, maybe I could rec some cool things to do. Obviously, you don’t have to get too personal, but are you satying in the city? What kinds of things do you like doing? Restaurants? Bars? Museums?

Anyone come to mind that you can mention? I know his history of scamming, but to my knowledge, he takes advantage of those in a less powerful position (e.g. construction companies, students, etc.)

Five bucks says the Tortie takes him.

It is comforting to think of Trump as an idiot, and he may be, but don’t disregard that he has consistently shown that he is superb at manipulating systems. This strategy is the M.O. of the wealthy who can afford legal fees and cheat the system over and over and over again. Every one of these judicial ploys seems ridiculous in itself, but taken together, they show how he can just delay/bog down the system to HIS advantage. The courts have to play by the rules, were he does not. This guy will never serve time. The only way he would is if he pissed off OTHER WEALTHY PEOPLE.

There’s a button you can use use to mark NSFW posts. You should learn how to use it.

Still 35k. Automakers are only interested in milking the EV market, not making EVs for most of us. It seems like it would be less expensive to engineer/produce evs since the they are mechanically less complex. Any engineers out there that can verify this?

Sweet ride! A purist.

A great listen. Malort is horrible!

Yes…the old B17. It was a rough break in, but now I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Is there any legitimacy to the claims that the Ukrainians want to disassemble these munitions to use as drone bombs? I suppose time will tell and no assurances have been made that this is the case.
