May 28, 2025 The color in anodize can fade with UV exposure over time. As an example, I have a hub on one of my mountain bikes that has faded from deep red to almost pink over the course of… View Message

May 19, 2025 I have a few approaches… Mostly I just play dumb then ignore it. Sometimes I’ll play along and go “ohhhhhh thanks” then ignore it. Sometimes I&rsq… View Message

Apr 27, 2025 I have to do full prints for work and for various permits every so often...The past couple times I got printed were "fun" for this reason. Other than official prints, I do… View Message

Apr 16, 2025 I’ll toss my hat into the ring here as well, South Bay local. Starting to climb outside more and I’m regularly at Movement Sunnyvale 2-3x a week, and trying to find… View Message

Mar 30, 2025 Im a big fan of low grade stuff. Because I'm starting this whole climbing thing at 40. And I've had a bunch of shoulder surgeries. And because I'm a mediocre climber at best.&n… View Message

Mar 30, 2025 My slightly hot to maybe lukewarm take on all of this, or well... climbing in general... Right now is an amazing time to be a newb climber. Great access to gyms. Lots… View Message

Mar 23, 2025 Yeah, curious about this as well. It's much closer to Monterrey at ~55ish miles, or ~75ish miles to San Jose.That said, I do rather like this list as its a good kick off point… View Message

Feb 12, 2025 Came here to say this. When tow straps or winch lines snap with hooks on the end, they're terrifying. You can get a 7klbs tow strap at Home Depot (NO HOOKS) for 35$ and ju… View Message

Jan 3, 2025 So, sorta new climber here and total gym gumby. Climbing is fun! My goals with climbing are a bit less for doing hard sport routes or trad routes or whatever, but to build… View Message
