    Winter Gloves

    Nose wipe is a key feature for me. Not joking.

    Dewalt 12in Compound Miter Saw

    Too bad it's not a slider. I already have one, but I also have a house, so sounds like I need 2.

    New 45Nrth Wolfhammer Winter Boots Size42 $120

    You know these are only for winter use, right? And only for fatbiking. It sez so right on the box.

    New 45Nrth Wolfhammer Winter Boots Size42 $120

    I have these exact boots and they're great. The lacing system works well. They're easy to get in and out of, unlike some other winter shoes. For reference, mine are size 43 and I wear 8.5 US in most shoes.

    Suitable compressor for seating tubeless tires

    Kung Fu grip. JK, depends on the tire. Getting it close enough so you can't see daylight is the goal.

    Suitable compressor for seating tubeless tires

    Seating one side definitely helps. You don't have to use a tube in most cases, just push it in place while the other side is off the rim. Then when mounting the loose side, take your time and try to get the bead as close to the rim as possible. Then, while blowing air, nudge and massage the...

    Suitable compressor for seating tubeless tires

    If you plan to use it for mounting fatbike tires, bigger is better. Some rim/tire combos are a bitch.

    Stop trying to exploit my well known weakness for exotic Ti bikes.

    Let's hear some opinions about the current gravel bikes

    I'm a 54. Guess I'll have to stick with my slightly twitchy Hakka for now.

    Damn. Fortunately, it's the wrong size. Whew.

    Let's hear some opinions about the current gravel bikes

    I was in the same boat. Lusted after a Moots Routt but couldn't get past the price tag. Maybe a nice used one?

    Let's hear some opinions about the current gravel bikes

    I ride a 2018 Hakka. I have 2 wheelsets - 650 x 45 with some knobbage (Pirelli), and 700 x 32 Gravelking slicks. The Hakka is a bit twitchy to me, but it's designed to do CX if you want to. I vote for stability over quick handling if you're gonna ride primarily gravel. Loose gravel over hard...

    Dude, ease up. That's not Bondi.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    Taxes aren't "punishment". They pay for a lot of the infrastructure that allows those big companies to exist - roads for Elon's cars, public utilities that facilitate providing power for those cars and data centers, etc. Thousands of miles of fiber that make up the internet's backbone are strung...

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    If the govt has to repay the tariffs, does that mean they will claw back our tariff dividends? Asking for 300 million friends.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    It will be a clusterf**k if the tariffs have to be repaid. They've collected over $200bn already, and the federal budget accounts for the future revenue. Seems like it could create some unexpected windfalls for companies that were able to pass on all or most of the costs to consumers. Seems...
