I actually bought a manual grinder for that purpose. My Baratza grinder is way too loud in the morning but hand grinding is fairly quiet.

That DCF fabric is loving fantastic, last year I picked up an arc haul from Zpacks with the DCF, and it's my favorite pack I've ever had. Super durable too. Plus it's 3 pounds lighter than my Osprey pack, which is now my winter/spare loaner pack. Did you get hip belt pockets on that? That doesn't have any kind of frame, right? I'd be curious for an update on your thoughts down the line, once you get some trail time in.

At what point in time was it that some extremely stupid person thought a bike without fenders was somehow not only acceptable but superior to a bike with fenders, anyway? Back in the 80s I don't think anyone would've even considered buying a bike without them, they'd just have asked the shop "where the gently caress are the fenders?"

Maybe when BMX took off? I seem to recall the 80's was when me and my friends all started taking our kickstands off because of that.

Oh yeah I borrowed a bike from a co-worker once and almost fell over because I got my jeans stuck between the gears while cornering. I'm going out on a limb here but I'm thinking "dork disks" (had to Bing that term) are infinitely less dorky than having to use clothespins or stuff your trouser legs into your socks or something just to ride a bike safely. e: Oh wait that's not a dork disk?

Chain guards are indeed what you are thinking of, and even though they're potentially quite useful for not getting chain grease on your pants (or getting your pants stuck in the chain as you noticed), they are pretty unpopular these days.

Back in the 80s I don't think anyone would've even considered buying a bike without them, they'd just have asked the shop "where the gently caress are the fenders?" I had some on my old bike, but they got totaled (along with the rest of the bike) when some asshat sideswiped and briefly dragged me with his truck. I didn't think fenders would fit my new road bike, but after having done a fair amount of fjording flooded trail sections in weather just above freezing, I finally did some googling and found a pair that'll work. This was the puddle that finally convinced me: mystes posted:I'm waiting for someone to step in to decry the removal of dork disks from road bikes. On my current bike, I didn't have the rear derailleur properly adjusted after I received it, but everything shifted fine and I didn't know any better about setting the limits, so I wound up accidentally overshifting the chain into the rear wheel, utterly destroying a high end wheel and breaking other stuff like the jockey cog. The wheel itself was so jammed up I couldn't take it off, and had to physically carry the bike four more miles back to my car. When I rebuilt the bike, I made sure to add a dork disk.

I'm in Germany for a month and noticed a gap in the wardrobe I brought with me. Brought heavy coats and plenty of fleeces and such, but realized on some of the slightly warmer days this last week I should have probably left one of the coats at home and brought something slightly lighter instead. So I bought this soft shell Nothing fancy, just a functional outer layer. ReidRansom has a new favorite as of 18:14 on Feb 19, 2018 |

Our old $99 grill went kaput the other month and we've been putting off dealing with it. Tried to clean out the venturi tubes only to have every fastener rust off when I tried to remove them, while still firmly holding the burners in place. I think materials wise it is now rust > spiders > original materials by mass. Bought a Weber Genesis II E-310 and various accessories to replace it! This one will actually be covered, and we're talking a lot of game about cleaning and maintaining it in general. It's our first non-cheapest-one-they-sell. Suggested by thecordcutter.com. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IF1GV4E/ - It even has free delivery and assembly, which sold me. I assume all the over-torqued rounded off screws & bolts $0 can buy.

Big boy grills are always awesome. My uncle has a 42 inch Wolf grill that he rolls out for every big family event and it is the coolest looking thing on the planet. One day I'll be able to purchase a grill that costs more than a loving used car.
