I had tried 15.5 to start the ride and it was terrible. Grip, but slow and squirmy. I did drop the front, and actually liked it a bunch, but in the middle of the ride I had to pump the rear back up.

Nothing useful for anyone else, but I'm bored at the moment, so here you go...

No way, for real? the .45.

Asparagus is a perennial that pops up every spring. No greenhouse.

I kid you not. I measured it 15.4 at ride start, then hated it, filled it until my crappy ass digital gauge said 16 on the ride and it felt amazing. Measured with the good gauge again when I got home and it was 15.85ish. The good gauge the other day said 16 when I had no traction and was crashing all over the place.

These tires are more sensitive for a few reasons:

1. They suck ass (new bikes don't come with these things any more)
2. They're worn
3. I'm faster than I used to be, so my lines are different, need lean over further, etc...

I have new wheels on order. 2.6"x29 nobby nics. Should be good. I also ordered Maxxis DHF/Rekon+ in 2.8"x27.5 for my existing rims, even though they won't be fantastic since those rims are a bit wide.

I need to order new grips/barends for my bike, because going through that rock garden on the west side I hit both sides of the tree gate at eactly the same time :eek:. Tired of the plastic caps. Going to shorten the bars a bit (oh god, cut crabon) and get solid AL end caps to take the beating.

One of the guys on my usual ride has a new Seven and although it's a road bike, he had his LBS put on 38mm wide tires. It looks kinda funny but he swears it's a smooth ride and he said it feels more stable in the wet etc., he also has hybrid hydraulic disc brakes with it.

We are not trying to defend against the Russians, just nogoodnicks from the neighborhood who might get it into their heads to hop our 8 ft security fence.

Be sure and let the cameras uPnP through the router to the internet, so they can be recruited for the botnet.

Many of these devices have default passwords that people don't bother changing.

I have not tested the censor lately. I am pretty sure you can't say french shower or saltine.

Test: avec ******, ritz *******.

edit: apparently still on the list.

Tell me we are talking about bar not psi. 7 lb is not insignificant.

Sorry to see [MENTION=443325]Scarbo[/MENTION] go.... I just thought we were talkin' motorcycles and such. No offense taken by me.

Not sure what you are talking about. The Arlo Pro has it's own base station that is Ethernet wired to the router. The wireless transmission is between the base station and the cameras. The cameras do not communicate directly with the internet or LAN.

PSI, dude. 3" wide tires, there's a LOT of volume there.

rpenmanparker 05-03-17 04:09 PM

I was not trying to goad the censor. Just talking about my day. If you guys will give it up, it will die a natural death.

Okey dokey. But is isn't about volume. It is about contact patch. The volume makes no difference. It is only the size of the contact patch and weight of the load that affect proper inflation pressure.

I think you misunderstand. These tires have a large volume, meaning they can support he same load at a relatively low pressure (~15 psi), which means that very small changes in pressure make a big difference. What I didn't like about them being too low had nothing to do with the contact patch, and everything to do with sidewall deflection (lateral squirminess) and sag (too much rolling resistance from flexing the sidewall).

A 3% change on a 23mm tire for me is like 4psi. That same 3% change is .5 psi on a plus tire.

He was trollish though. seemed to delight in how far he could push things. not as spectacluar as some death by mod I have seen.

Dressing?

I had my beets tonight. Just thought I'd slip that in.

The "trolling" here is weak.

Is the strength of trolling something to be admired?

The wireless cameras are IP cameras that have their own subnet.
The base station is a DVR with a router that manages the wireless subnet on one side and connects to your home router and LAN on the other side.

These types of devices normally provide as a "feature" the ability to view live streams by connecting to the base station. Many models also offer a phone app and/or hosted web portal that you can log into to see your live streams. All this means that the private wifi subnet of the cameras has been bridged to your home router, and a hole poked in your router's firewall (assuming it has one), and allowed to communicate with the internet. This is done automatically by universal plug-and play (uPnP), which many consider a security hole.

If someone scans your home IP while a hole is poked by uPnP, they will find the base station or the camera. This is usually an automated hack.

There is big business in assembling and renting out hacked devices. There have been recent DDOS attacks on major infrastructure as a result of compromised home video setups.

Just comparing this place to elsewhere.

Six months ago it was being censored. Maybe less. Since I've been in here.
