I've done that in the past, but just too lazy to try to get it working this year.

My experience on Tiz is definitely not better, although I think I may now have an AI girlfriend and an inside line on a locally available product that's 7x as strong as Viagra.

First time riding an ebike on trails and I really enjoyed it. The easier trails felt like car racing. Brake late, get the thing turned, back on the gas. Tons of fun. The tech is a different ballgame just being able to generate speed everywhere. A couple of pedal strokes and you can skim over all...

I had a bout of numbness and tingling in my extremities a few years back that my primary care physician thought was likely peripheral neuropathy. He seemed annoyingly unconcerned, as if this is just a standard thing that everyone deals with. I am biased, as the husband of a PT, but my wife put...

Looking for recommendations for a couple of shops in northern NJ/Morris County area. I'm in Randolph but would drive a bit for good service. First would be a window tint person/place? Would just be the back of my wife's Civic, nothing fancy. Also tire mounting/balancing/straightening? This...

Dangerous time to be the ear of a NJ mountain biker. Sorry to see this. Fortunately that spot looks a lot easier to treat and heal so I'm sure that you'll have a good outcome. My only piece of advice is that if there is any sign of an issue with infection to get the infectious disease...

So, definitely agree with this based on the latest course of events! The original culture from the cut that was taken on Saturday came back this morning and confirmed that there was a drug resistant bacterial infection. Based on that information, the ID doctor put me on levaquin, which I...

I appreciate the response. I'd considered that this could be the case but hadn't really given it significant thought. Perhaps I will. I do have a picture of the suture in my ear on Monday, a full week after the appointment to remove and the day after my 48 hour hospital stay. Just doesn't seem...

An update. My total hospital stay was right around 48 hours with multiple rounds of IV antibiotics. Nothing about the experience was fun, but also a reminder of "I have it pretty good" being around so many people going through true medical crises. The morning after being discharged, my ear was...

I can definitely vouch for it affecting people differently. I've ridden/hiked in a few places at altitude and never really noticed that much of a difference. I'm sure that if I'd been measuring power, it would have been down somewhat, but definitely no sensation of being more out of breath than...

I'd agree, but can also understand not wanting to ride some of the descents on drop bars or mess with the bike geo to get them to work.

Obviously all the talk is around drop bars, but I'm surprised that there aren't more riders doing something along these lines for long MTB events:

I'm starting to see the value in those moto trials style 3/4 helmets. Riding one of the easiest sections of trail at Sterling two weeks ago, I just didn't see a small stump right at the edge of the trail due to a combination of it being slightly overgrown and having fogged glasses from a humid...

Hard to say. It's worked pretty well for me on a range of things. I haven't looked into it but you may also be able to run a more noxious solvent if necessary.

Ultrasonic has been sold. Located in Randolph NJ not far from Dickerson mine. Also happy to meet up at most of the local spots. Both of these work fine, just don't find that I use them much. Parts washer is essentially this CRC product but an older version: https://www.benchtoppro.com/...
