Hi all, the past few years I've been playing through an Orange Rocker 15. It was great for the apartment lifestyle, but I started playing with a band again recently, and when cranking it up to full band volume it breaks up pretty quickly even on the full power headroom mode. I'm looking for something that I can play louder while maintaining a clean sound.

I made the mistake of trying a 70s Super Reverb at a music store, and it sounded incredible. Only $900 too. Then I tried to lift the damn thing and I think I slipped a disk (kidding, but you get the idea). I'm a big AC30 fan too, but somehow those are even heavier? I think they make the transformers out of depleted uranium or something.

Hi folks, I ride a 2017 Boone 5 and for me it's a bit overgeared. I almost never use the big ring, and on gradual uphill sections, I could use an easier granny gear.

The bike comes with an RD-5800-SS rear derailleur, an 11-28 cassette, and a 46/36 crankset. Is there any way I could squeeze in an 11-32 with a roadlink perhaps? Or would it make more sense to just get a more modern GRX derailleur? Are GRX derailleurs compatible with the Ultegra 6800 shifters that come on this bike?

Long term I'd like to go 1x, but I reckon this involves replacing basically the whole drivetrain. I don't think I have time to do that before races start this year. That's probably more of a next year job.

Don't judge, but I buy a lot of stuff online. I try to be good and not buy literally everything from Amazon. But I have noticed that very often, online retailers wrap the shipment tracking system in their own garbage frontend. Even if the item is being shipped via USPS, for example, they don't just link to the USPS website in their notification e-mails. They have their own page that tries (and often fails) to show the same information.

Why do they do this? Is it to serve ads? Is it to track my data and sell it to data brokers? What could it be? Any ideas? I just wish they would link straight to the USPS, Fedex, etc tracking page so I don't have to manually do the two hop thing with the trac

Hi folks, I own a GoPro Hero 7 Black that I mostly use for taking video footage from my bike. I love it for race footage or short clips, however I have attempted to use it for live streaming several times and I always end up very frustrated.

The GoPro will stream for a while, even up to 30 minutes or so at a time. However it seems like if I lose connectivity for too long (maybe 10 seconds or so), the stream ends in an unrecoverable fashion. When I say unrecoverable, I mean that the app stops streaming and shows an error message, and a new stream cannot be started up again due to a bug in the app/firmware. The only workaround I know is to fully power down the gopro (by removing the battery),

I recently bought an All-City Nature Cross Single Speed specifically for racing SSCX this year, and it's super fun to ride. I only started racing cross last year, and I did my first season on a gravel bike, so this is a whole new world.

After tinkering a bit on the Nature Cross, I was surprised to learn that it is basically the exact same frameset as the geared version. It even has a normal freehub body hidden underneath a bunch of spacers. It seems pretty straightforward to run this bike as an 11-speed, geared CX bike by throwing on some new shifters/brakes, a rear derailleur, and a cassette. Especially with the advent of wireless shifting, this seems totally doable.

I absolutely detest the massive, plastic steam irons that are the norm in the US. I just want something simple, small, and without a steam function. After searching around, I've learned that what I'm after is called a "dry iron". The only problem is that they don't really seem to be made for the US market anymore, like, at all. Everything I've found is made for 220 V and is only available overseas, or is ungrounded vintage stuff that looks like it's going to start an electrical fire the second I plug it in.

Does anyone know where I can find something like this? Thanks!

I've spent probably the last hour researching this, so I'm pretty sure the answer is "no", but is there really no way to set an actual spending limit on a Pay As You Go subscription?

It seems insane to me that MS expects me to hook my credit card up to a potentially infinite money spending machine, with no simple way to say "okay stop when it gets to $xyz". But if that's how it works, I guess that's how it works?

I know there is a mechanism to get an alert when you reach some percentage of a target budget. And I know people have had success asking support for pity when accidentally racking up a huge bill. But neither of those things actually guarantees that I won't be charged a bazillion d
