I checked 4archive, and consensus seems to be that ruggedized phones, cat s60 specifically, are not worth the shitty specs, if a person treats their phone well?

you bit off more than you can chew, homie. I'm a wrench and you should have slammed my shit tier pedals or the terrible install on the fenders (or using them at all)
>much less a ghastly pile of other jerry rigs on that ride
anyway:
1) the QR shit's done up correctly but quick release is foolish either way
2) those are tiny fucking gears and don't demand down shifting
3) lolwut
4) ?
5) needlessly packing around extra weight when not out and about
6) fucking klean kanteens how do they work
thanks for the bump, any contributions?

The level of mechanical incompetence at bike shops is an endless source of amazement to me.
You'd think if it was your job, you'd be good at it, and take pride in it, right? Except no. The business model is to make money on bikes and accessories and undercharge for labor, so you can only hire shit-tier mechanics, people who were going for Starbucks but woudln't have passed the criminal background check
Buying a workstand and a bunch of tools was the best thing I ever did, fuck bike shop "mechanics"
>>60201264
did I say I was a guy who threw together the shit that came to me in boxes?
good job getting a stand, Christ, I skipped a few other photos to specifically avoid rustling jimmies here, like a random crucifix I photo'd while bicycling through Tucson

Actually on topic, yes. They're really for people who have a serious, daily risk of dropping their phone off a five story building, into a river, it getting splashed with shit, etc etc.

like, I'm actually kind of assmad, and surprised at myself for getting assmad. I'm not an oldfag but I've been here a while.
post a question trying to not shit up someone else's board: get ignored or shit on
post a photo that includes chick you're banging (because it's relevant to frame something else) and get told she has a dick
mention your first professional job out of high school was the military? get called a welfare queen
paraphrasing My Lord and Savior Maddox I just wanted phone opinons not eternal damnation

thank you
OK, so, since I'm just some clumsy autist, even though I liked the older ruggedized droids, there's no reason to go back to them since I've acclimated to iPhone?
I only moved to smartphone when my last flip phone died and the switch was cheaper. I stayed with keyboard droids until they were unavailable, then rugged droids until the software updates stopped

disc shill here, there is literally no reason not to have disc brakes unless you are a luddite retard who hates progress, much like mechashit fans
>>60201723
