Spent some time over the weekend removing the bottom bracket, cleaning the bottom bracket shell, and servicing the headset. Had a scary moment when one of the headset bearings slipped out of the retaining ring (which would have mostly just been a pain to have to go back to the hardware store to get ...

It's rounded on the outsides (and no nut) so I can't grip it in any way, but that extractor would probably do the trick.

I will need long reach brake calipers to clear a tire over 28c.

The brakes on my frame may work, it looks like the stock brakes on my frame were "standard reach," which is considered "long reach" these days.

I got an old steel Trek frame for free. Apparently it was sitting in a garage in Oakland until the owner had the wheels stolen off the bike they were riding so they took the wheels off the Trek so they could keep riding the other bike. Maggie and I had taken a bike repair class here and the teacher ...

Haven't played Artifact in a while. It really needs some new content. I can only assume that the next patch is going to be a big one, but who knows what is happening. At this point I'd still return once/if that happens but if they wait too long I might not.

Probably want either 3 Phase boots now or to swap out some Travelers Cloaks for Assassins Veils with the item cost changes.

If I put Ogre back in I probably have to take out the Conflags, which I am a little reluctant to do. Ignite and Conflag seem synergistic to me. I agree you don't have the ratio to run both as 3x, but surely you could run 1-2 Conflags with Ogre? Yeah, neither Lodestone nor Arcane Assault is played o...

Went on a perfect run with my latest Nyctasha's list! I did ditch Sister as you noted. I put the Murder Plot in, and I put Artillery in. I feel the lack of Gank. It might be proper to put 1x Gank in, maybe cut 1x Relentless. I could experiment with Tinker. I do value Lich for his ability and initia...

Replays! vs Mono red : On mana turn 7 Sorla should have gone left to Coup Tidehunter. I completely forgot about Ravage and was only thinking about playing around Berserker's Call or Primal Roar. vs BU econ : There were several turns where I was consciously not playing around Annihilation, because I ...

Won for the first time with my BU deck against a Vesture deck that runs blue (BU Econ in this case). Reviewing the replay confirmed my feeling while playing the game that the reasons I won were 1) a string of pretty bad misplays by my opponent, including consistently terrible lane deployments and no...

Winter's Curse is usually not very good though, and it being such a high cost card very likely hurts your curve too much to justify playing him.

Like this, maybe? https://www.playartifact.com/d/ADCJXMQJ ... 1pZHJhbmdl Can you do enough tower damage after using the Guard? Wrong question! Guard is usable literally every turn. If you have initiative and (crucially) already took another tower, all the blinks and TP scrolls in the world won't he...

Luna adds a charge before each action phase. On all Eclipses in your deck, or just Eclipses in your hand? It charges up to 3 Eclipses, whether in your hand or in your deck. If you have two Lunas (in draft) then it's random which 3 it affects. If you have just one Luna, it affects all of your Eclips...

Redmist.gg has a new stat tracking Chrome extension. Kind of reminds me of Hotslogs.

Can you do enough tower damage after using the Guard?

Luna adds a charge before each action phase. The way her passive is worded is vague and makes it seem like her Lucent Beam needs to hit an enemy to add a charge, but they are two independent effects. If you blink her to the right it means she will gain two charges to her Eclipse that round even if t...

Seems like Ball Lightning on a Guard-equipped black hero (especially if you can Hip Fire afterward) could be pretty strong.

Flopping Tinker in that deck seems wrong 100% of the time.

And there’s too much anti-synergy in his deck to seem feasible.

Took out the Stormhall cloaks, swapped them for Traveller's Cloaks and swapped the Daggers for a Demagicking Maul. The 2 gold difference between Stonehall Cloak and Traveler's Cloaks is pretty meaningful I think.

One of my level 10 reward packs had an Axe in it .

I watched his game against StanCifka's mono-blue, which he won on the back of two Thunderchads. That deck is actually genius.
