How to properly store bikes outdoors in the winter.
Hi everyone, I got a full suspension MTB this summer and am trying to plan storage for the winter. Right now I am storing it in the house but I won’t be able to in the winter. If I can keep it covered and away from moisture will that be good enough? I’m worried about the cold temps.
CVT lifespan
Hi everyone, I have a 2012 Nissan versa which uses a CVT. I am close to hitting 100k miles and just had my transmission serviced. I’m not having any problems with the transmission, but just wanted to do routine maintenance on my car. When I was at the shop, the guy kept telling me how unreliable CVTs are and I’m lucky I got 100k miles out of it. He also made it sound like it could totally fail at any point in the near future. So I’m just curious how long do CVTs last? He said they typically fail around 70k miles. If they truly don’t last much longer than 100k miles then maybe I should look into getting a new car while mine is still working. I tried looking it up online but I don’t trust the AI content. Thanks!
Ice cream trucks still around?
Advice on new Ekit to buy.
Right now guitar center is having a sale on 2 kits ive been interested in. The Roland Vad 307 and the TD - 27kv2. My personal preference is the VAD kit, but I’ve read reviews that the 27kv2 has better gear. I don’t play in a band or professionally, drumming is just my hobby so I don’t need top of the line gear. I was hoping I could get some feedback from owners of these kits to see which one would be better. Both of these kits are pricey for me so I want something that will last a long time and I won’t grow out of it in a few years. My experience level is only intermediate. One thing I do want is a good bass pad for double bass. The TD looks smaller than the vad Thanks!
Elden ring night reign single player
I have been wanting to play this game since it was announced. However, I prefer single player games. I know this game is designed for 3 players, but I read that they were going to add 2 player and maybe single player support. have they made it any better for us loners? I don’t really want to play with randoms either.
Mountain bike shoes
Hi everyone, I am a beginner with MTB. I just recently got a polygon T6 and have been loving it. I’m doing research about all the new aspects with MTB and quickly finding out how pricey this hobby can be. My boss recommended that I get specific shoes made for MTB. I did a quick search to find that they are really expensive. My question is: are these necessary? Or can I find a good pair of skate shoes for a cheaper price? I don’t do hardcore riding yet and only go a few hours a week.
Issues with hoyoplay launcher
I have been using the hoyoplay launcher for a long time with no issues. I installed it through steam and it ran perfectly until they released the latest update for the launcher. I updated the launcher and now it won’t launch through steam, lutris or heroic. In steam, the launcher will popup for a split second then close. In lutris and Heroic launcher it will launch to a black screen. I found that other ppl are having the same issue and some said that I need to install web view 2 through bottles. I installed web view 2 through bottles, I launched hoyoplay launcher in bottles, and finally it works… Or so I thought. The launcher works properly in bottles, I was able to link my games but when I click start game the launcher will close for a second, then pop back up. It doesn’t actually launch the game. I even verified the game files through the launcher but that didn’t work. Not sure what to do at this point. I also tried just running the game exe itself but it says it needs the launcher to play…
Linux Bluetooth adapters
I need a Bluetooth adapter for my laptop that has Linux mint on it. I just need it to connect a BT speaker for watching YouTube and netflix. The adapters I looked at on amazon all say they aren’t compatible with Linux. I was hoping I could get some recommendations that work with Linux. And preferably one that doesn’t require drivers from some sketchy site, Thanks!
