Calibrate your torque wrench?

I would say food, building supplies, clothing, etc would exceed gold. Fuel of any type for cooking/heating. But to the original point, seems Costco is just making the gold buying thing easy.

Yes, I know how the gold works. I feel if things actually get that bad, nobody is buying gold to gold plate their toilets. Those buckets should be like insurance. In 20 years throw that shit out and buy another lot of emergency food supply.

What are gold bars paying in dividends currently? I agree gasoline & ammo is a better SHTF investment. And canned food.

So glad the local grocery store has a $5 car wash. I know you all are jealous. Can even leave on my 1up rack to wash that. So this while out for a run or ride the other day. What a Patina.

Hyundai made a meatless burger that costs twice as much and almost, almost could fool you it's not meat. Except you're not fooled at all. I do understand though, it's a selling point for people who will never drive it hard. It's like everyone who gets paddle shifters thinking the have a...

Definitely different types of Magnesium. Some like Magnesium are not readily absorbed. There's a couple well recommended ones and I can't tell you why but I went with Magnesium Citrate as being the best. A lifetime supply for 10 people is like $25 on Amazon. Just a small amount here & there...

Status frames for $419. It's like buying a rear shock and a frame comes with it. Stumpjumper Evo for $1k https://www.fanatikbike.com/collections/mountain-bike-frames?tab=products&sort_by=price&sort_order=asc&page=1 If the Status shock fit my bike I'd probably buy one.

@pixychick Do you do any supplementation at night before sleep? Do you mix up the types of Magnesium? Have you had anything else checked like Potassium? I'm assuming that if you can't get enough during you're ride you're trying to get it in while not riding.

Goes well with all the 27.5" Forks everyone is giving away. Great deal, not what I need whatsoever.

Data point of one: My wife's bike with a Fox Seatpost that never breaks and never creaks has a wolftooth collar. Maybe I need to buy a wolftooth collar for her bike that creaks...

My wife's seatpost develops a creak constantly. Taking it out, cleaning it and putting it back in helps for awhile but returns after a month. We oddly enough both have the same frame and same dropper. Currently trying fiber paste but I'm pretty sure I've tried it before. Cranking down on the...

If the thicknesses were right, I thought it may work similar to the dual layer type of seatpost clamp. Where the bottom clamps onto the seat tube, top clamps onto just the seatpost.

Are you saying the tape is above the seat tube but still within the clamp? Doesn't go inside the seat tube to provide extra thickness, but more like a secondary clamp above the seat tube?
