I carry a level up in gear as injuries while MT biking are usually more severe
Bleed stop packets Gauze pads Wrapping bandages Soap Hydrogen peroxide Rubber gloves Extra joint…
I’ve helped clean up and stabilize people plenty of times. It’s nice to be ready.
Bit different as I’m on a bike but…
I bring: Enough extra water for someone else. Extra medical supplies
Cool
I’ve only been in it a few times and only short term.
My work was in other industries
I think my point was that most people don’t understand tolerances and what a micron means.
Yes that is also true but in mfg people call out microns in a funny way.
Decimal places so less than .xx would be considered 10 micron as a tolerance
10 micron refers to the decimal places in machining.
Having a tolerance of .01 mm isn’t crazy on some parts.
Molds for injection molding for example

We got our selves a 10k+ mile Bullitt. It’s seen so many sets of tires and pads…
The rubber wore off, replacements were pricy, rubber caps from Amazon wore through in a week, aluminum started to wear to the point it would wobble from not being lifted to needing these feet…
Sure but as throughput increases the amount of time it’s being used goes down. Or something
I had a friend weld me some cups with off angle flat plate bottoms.
I slipped them on and let them self align them to flat ground.
Then lifted the bike a bit, marked, drilled and bolted then in place.
The back one is even worse. You have to pull up the cup holder mat and pry out a clip before you can pull a wire.

I’d say this is a more bifl
Not sure the name. Sorry
It was a blast. Super smooth. Huge range.
Absolutely
Group walks and multiple breakfasts
After about 8-10 short rides
Still not fluid on downhill trails Amazing suspension which feels super solid Not great leaving or returning to the ground Starting to sort out how to climb this beast
It’s pretty cool going 30mph in sprints
It’s just water.
 The real challenge is finding rain gear that you’re comfortable wearing. After living years in a place with heavy rains and snow, I really like the quality of showers pass gear.
When you’re wearing heavy duty, rain gear, you’re likely to get very warm and possibly very sweaty. I mitigate this by wearing wool for breathability and riding at a slower pace so I don’t overheat.
If you’re on Bluesky I posted some of my favorite fun facts…
Spoiler, they are not fun

Seems like it should stay then
It’s a dangerous job. The fumes are toxic and they are constantly exposed to them in high levels.
