At least I’m going to parties with people my own age and not creeping on literal high schoolers.

Jesus fuck dude stop acting like a pedophile

No. You are not funny in the slightest.

It would be weird and creepy if this was an adult woman, but your “joke” about a situation involving children is just disgusting. You’re sick, please seek help

🤮 bruh she’s 14

I agree steel frames are great, but trek, specialized and gt abandoned steel in the late 90’s. I love a good vintage frame, but for mtb the modern geometry is an undeniable upgrade.

High end: Orange cycles, Cromag, Ritchey, Chumba, Cotic.

Mid range: Kona, Marin, Surly, Niner.

Also: go tubeless and never buy an innertube again. I bought a 5 pack of tubes for emergencies and used 2 of them in the past decade. The sealant can be a royal pain in the ass, but it beats getting stranded out on the trail.

Check the life remaining on the drive with crystaldiskinfo it should give you a nice percentage of life but I go off how much data it has seen.

An SSD from 5 years ago is probably rated for around 200TB written, but I would check your model. As long as you are below the TBW with no corrupted sectors, the SSD is fine to keep using. I would probably back it up more frequently, and keep checking crystaldisk for any changes.
