Thanks that explains a lot. Bummer that parts and warranties are no avail anymore.

It's sad but at the same time understandable. I stopped buying from CRC around 2021 because it took forever to ship to Spain. That includes a Big-Al Ragley frame for a bike I built in the day.

Although true, it isn't the point I'm trying to get across. My view is that weight limits aren't a great metric. You don't have to go for niche sports, the traditional xc/trail bike is what everybody starts with on mtb.

Say this example xc bike has a weight limit of 150Kg. Rider A is at 170Kg buys this bike ignoring the limit and just rides smooth local fire roads for some excersise.

Rider B is young, athletic 70Kg build. Buys this SAME bike and goes on rides with friends that know all the fun trails. Rider B is getting faster and stronger, and the bike starts to show it's limitations.

It's clear which bike will fail sooner. Weight alone doesn't matter, and both riders are using the bike for it's intended and designed purpose.

Manufacturers cannot reliably slap a max weight to their bikes because of all the other factors involved. And if they do, it will be way conservative to avoid getting into legal trouble.

Weight limits on performance bikes are total nonsense. Probably are there just to comply some law. A pro enduro rider weighing 20kg less than me would destroy my setup any day.

I find hard to believe a traditional 26er with 36 triple cross spoked wheel from a reputable manufacturer can't hold up to any rider capable of moving on their own and sitting on a saddle any amount of time.

Unless they are heading to Whistler's a-line

Well, it was addressing the pay issue, and it is the most secure path to higher paid position fast. Moving on to new stuff comes naturally and the industry will push you to their next hotness, so not really a problem.

If your goal is to make yourself more valuable to employers/clients the best path is to specialize in some critical and niche enterprise tech. People that are good at stuff businesses were lured into using get paid very well. In my case it was SharePoint, but that's just an example.

Knowing your way around the OS is taken for granted in these positions, so you have one piece of the puzzle, which is great, but you need the other pieces.

But be careful, if I have to choose between two experts, one with basic win+linux and the other only linux, I'm choosing the former.

Bead is torn. It's holding on by the backside cotton strands. If you don't mind crashing, take a spare tire and tube and just send it.

Born in the late 70s, I only recall being bored when my parents made me go to mass, or waiting while they did adult stuff like going to the bank.

Horsing around with my brother or playing with the Casio stopwatch kept us sane.

At home it was TV, Legos, music and bikes

It's funny that in spanish only the "c" is translated.

We say "ce sharp"

I know, not the same, but I built my kid a cheap "Gaming" laptop from an old corporate PC that was going to be scrapped because it restarted every hour of use.

Cleaned the cooling fins and fan, repasted both cpu and gpu, got a cheap ssd and extra sodimm of ram. Was good for about a year or so until he got my Ryzen rig :)
