AZ BS Thread 4²0

Hand and wrist fatigue is entirely about fit on the bike, not bar style. Anyone can be appropriately fit by a professional to any type of bike. Are your hands/wrists going numb or just getting sore? 1x should be relatively easy, just have to make sure your chainline is decent and the chain is the appropriate number of links to stay on. Might need a chain keeper of some sort up front. Post up some pics of the bike if you can.

 

I'll get some tomorrow, I appreciate the assistance. I'll PM you so we can detach this from the BS.

 

So your saying this my be a good time to sell my 2020 stumpy?

 

You'll get more for it in these next few months than you ever will. That's my plan for my Trance 2. Gonna sell late April after the prime riding season here.

 

Yep

 

Man, I just saw in another thread that Headstrong is under new ownership since October.

Bummer.

 

hahahaha they did the same thing to me when I test drove the T4R at Autonation. “Bro we can put a sick lift on this for 1000 bucks”

“Spacers for a thousand dollars, fuck right off.” I thought to myself.

 

I just noticed the Lexus dealer tire shined my car at the service department.

 

There's an opening in the market! You could jump right in, be the next Marie or Mario in this case. Build up a huge following, and be the guy everybody recommends anytime any questions about lifts come up.

 

And then sell it to the grand disappointment of everyone!

Guess you're gonna have to trade it in for a Tacoma now. Bummer.

 

Damn, Ive ordered so much from them in the last two years. Hopefully the new owners can uphold the reputation.

 

My opinion of them was soured by some harassing messages I got from an employee but I’m not the type to publicly shit talk and go on a crusade over it, however I stopped recommending them to any people who asked.

I merely pointed out that some shock measurements were not adding up and wanted clarification, this person got extremely irate and confrontational in DMs.

I wish them the best of luck under new ownership & I’d be more than happy to go back to recommending them in the future.

 

How I felt when I went on a test drive. Bro your only purpose is so they don't call the cops saying I stole the vehicle during the test drive.

 

They usually tell me, " i dont work in this area" ....me thinking " well wtf are you doing over here???"

 

Exactly!

"Shhh...just enjoy the scenery in silence, bro...if I want you to talk, I'll tell you"

 

As a former Home Depot employee, we are walking to the bathroom or breakroom.

 

At least when shopping for the wife’s 4Runner the dealer up here let us hit some forest roads and slide around a bit since I knew how to turn trac off. Then they proceeded to f*^k with us in negotiations so we bought elsewhere.

 

That’s the main thing I am worried about. I can’t stand how buying a car in this town is like pulling teeth with alarm systems and lifts and market value adjustments and all sorts of shell game bullshit. I understand it’s how they make their profit but can you just fuck off with that shit and keep your mouth breathing monkeys away from the wiring harness and suspension and paint.

I think I am gonna take the plunge later this year and get the T4R, but I’m going to go into it with 0 credit card balance and my shit squared away financially. And stand fast to get the exact color, trim, and options I want. Get the spec or no deal.

 

Yep, the wife was very specific with color, trim and options and it was make it or break it deal to her. Dealer up here couldn’t understand that and after screwing around with us for a few weeks we told them we’d go shopping in the valley since they couldn't figure that out.
