Who came up with that garbage design? LOL
The Matrix had something similar. "It's got everything the body needs." 😬
Tesla offers manual door releases for situations with depleted power, but Janel opted to wait, fearing potential damage to her car.
Are Teslas made from tracing paper? How would manually opening the door damage her car?
I want to see the video. Sounds like a great idea.
I guess just bury me in a ditch, or just leave me there if burying is too expensive. 😮💨
The problem with "other solutions" is that they aren't designed for use on a moving bike, so they don't have the structure to actually work well. Apparently, Da Brim works in 30mph winds.
I'm fine with paying money for something that works well, especially when comfort and safety are a priority. But I appreciate you looking at alternatives... I was looking too, and found nothing that was the same (for cycling).
As with anything, I would consider it an investment to last many years. Hell, when someone finds out how much I've spent on panniers, a helmet visor for <$100 sounds like a steal! LOL
I did recently get a set of long sleeved shirts for riding with UPF 50 (spf ratings is for sunscreen 😉).
Even though they are a technical fabric, I do feel like I'll need to acclimate to the heat, since even with short sleeves it can get really hot on long rides.
I haven't looked into the hemp stuff, but I also don't like the idea of synthetic clothing, so I may have a look at more options!
But for my face and neck, Da Brim seems to be a great option.
Edit: grammar
I appreciate the insight. I'm not actually having issues with the chainrings/front shifting, but I did with the cassette, which is why I replaced it. I figured I might as well replace the chainring too, since it's over 30 years old and wouldn't be that expensive anyway.
But I guess it's one of those "if it ain't broke" situations, so maybe I'll leave it as is. 😂
Thanks for the info.
Yeah, the LBS said the middle chainring has some wear, so I'd rather just change it all up.
I'm staying with a 3x, and same gear range. Looking at a few Shimano front derailleurs, the BB will be quite a bit wider than what I have.
Maybe I can pretty-please my LBS to have a look and decide what the best swap would be. I'm also going by what they have in-stock or can get easily, so my options are further limited.
Wow, that's great to hear! I'm way north of the border (like, Canada), and even though I haven't noticed anyone wearing these, I tend to be an early adopter of just about anything. LOL You should see the looks I had when I used "bar mits" on my bike over the winter. 😂
